more readiness and eagerness to learn, or
who. were more attentive to instruction.
1t was pleasure to teach them. The whole
school year, Mr.. Train said, was a very
satisfactory one to him. The attendance
was large, the progress gratifying and the
discipline remarkably good. Out of the
very large number not one was expelled
during the year for misconduct.

ham Academy high school for the next
year without further examination.
The East Broad street colored school,
James Ross principal, granted nine di-
plomas, and West Broad street colored
school, J. III. Butler principal, granted ten

these schools, as their attendance in higher
classes was not very large. Tomorrow the
