THE CITY SCHOOLS.

Close of Another Wear of Active,
Earnest Work-1Nhe Teachers and
Their Departments of Labor-A
Graduating Glass.
The end of another year of quiet, but
steady, and highly successful, work in
our city schools is drawing nigh, and of
the class which graduates, of the teachers
of the past year end of other matters
pertaining thereto we condensa q brief
mention.
Under the efficient superintendency
of Professor A. Z. Bartlett Yank-
toms city schools are at
the end of this school year in q con-
dition that has never before been 80
satisfactory to all parties concerned.
The teachers, especially, are deserving
of much praise for the interest taken by
them individually in the progress Of the
city schools, and for their efforts to
promote the same. Although every
year is liable to witness changes in the
instructors, it is the wish Of those who
have this matter in charge that the
present corps may continue to fill the
places o occupied hJ them.
In the high school Prof. Bartlett has
acted as principal end Miss Attic Nutter
has been his assistant. In the third
grammar Miss Sprague has been as
sisted by Miss Gertie Flanagan, who has
also had charge of some classes in the
second grammar, in which room Miss
Cora Pratt acts as principal teacher. In
the first grammar Miss Edna Gorham has
had charge, in the fourth primary Miss
Anna Lynch has been teaching during
Che past year. while in the third gram.
mar Miss Viola L. Hayes, q lady who has
been for a long time engaged as a teach
er in our city, has just finished another
year of successful labor. In the Web
ster school building are two rooms and
in the second or highest grade Miss
Jennie Whistler has taught through the
year, and in the lower, or first room,
Miss May Lynch, assisted by Miss
Minnie Watrous, has presided. In the
Lincoln school building, as in the
Webster, are two rooms, and in the
second, Miss Lucia Saunders has taught,
while in the first, Miss Esther Clark, has
labored in the work of improving the
minds of half a hundred youngsters.
And over ell these Mrs. j. p. Wagner
has swung the musicians baton, much
to the edification and improvement OF
every one concerned.
School closes for all except the
scholars of the high school on Friday
next, and as the reports Of each one
show hard work during the past year,
they will probably enjoy the three
months of no school.
liz the high school are three scholars
who, with the setting of next Tuesday'f
sun will have severed their connection
with city educational institutions, and
in all probability the doors of Yanktor
college will open to them. They are Chez.
ME C,Gross, Miss Olive Peirson and Mis-.
Eleanor Swift, and that they have done
their work well is remarked by theii
teachers. They will graduate OF
Tuesday evening next.
OF the necessities of our school system
there are many which only time can sup
ply, but we venture o remark concern
ing the improvements that might be
made in the Franklin and brown schoo
building. Not but what they are goot
for many years of service, but as com
pared with the other buildings they arr
deficient in many ways. We would Iik'
to see them Rupplanted by new build
ings and SO would many other voter
and tax payers.
