 PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Marked By Very Little That Was
 Formal.
GRAMMARSCH0OL STUDENTS
Received Certificates of Entrance to High School-Heard Addresses by Supt. Phillips and President
 Ullman of Board of Ed.


 The public schools of Birmingham finish ed their years work yesterday, and have closed their doors for the summer There was very little formality connected with the closing the pupils simply packing up their books, saying good bye to their teach CTS and schoolmates, and leaving the school building for a long and happy holi- day.
 The only commencement exercises that will be held this year will be those of the graduating class of the High school. They will be held Monday night at Seals hall.
 But at least one of the grades of the grammar school-the seventh-went through a very pretty ceremony yesterday. Each member of this grade in the Powell, Henley and Paul Hayne schools who had satisfactorily finished his grammar school course, was presented with & certificate Of entrance into the High school There were hundred and sixteen of them in all, and after they had been introduced personally to Superintendent Phillips he made them talk, congratulating them on the com pletion of their grammar school work and encouraging them in their future endeay- ors.
 Samuel Ullman, president of the board of education, also addressed them. The ceremony took place at the High school building.
