THE GIRLS PUBLIC SCHOOL OF ANNAPOLIS.
The Girls Public School closed to- day.
There was no public exercises. The
school assembled this morning in the
large assembly room. Singing, recita-
tions, essays and remarks by the princi-
pal were the order of the day. The work
accomplished by the school in the past
year has been most satisfactory Prof.
w. III. Thompson one of the trustees was
present aud commended the progress OF
the school. There was no promotion at
this time. these having been made at the
February examinations. The examina-
tions at the close of the term showed
marked proficiency, and give the best
kind of evidence that the time has been
profitably employed. and in nearly every
grade the advanced classes are without
exceptions prepared to enter higher
grade at the opening of the schools in
the fall. Mrs Dorsey is principal of this
school, with Misses Camden, Redmond,
Pindell. Brady. and Riordan, assistants.
