The Schools.

Yesterday was specially set apart as
visitors day in the public schools. and
many interested in school work at
tended. AS a rule no special exercises
were prepared. but the regular every
day workings of the schools were
shown to visitors. At the Madison
school examination papers were ar
ranged for inspection, as were speci-
mems of other work. Comparison of
work at different periods of the term
showed great and uniform improve
ment in all grades. The improvement
in penmanship and drawing was no.
ticeable. Doubtless it has been as
great in all subjects, but is not so
noticeable because the contrast may
be more readily shown in the work of
those two subjects. There are very
few vacant seats in any of the rooms
in the Madison.
At the Grant a good many visitors
attended. and in some of the grades
some special exercises in the way of
music and recitations were rendered.
At the High school there were many
visitors, who made many favorable
comments on the high order of work
shown in all departments.
