Graduating Exercises TonyaSt.


A large crowd Of visitors attended
the public schools yesterday to view
the exhibit from the primary and
grammar schools.
This exhibit was remarkably fine,
and reflects credit upon the teachers
as well as the pupils, who have ac-
complished this splendid amount of
work in one term. The primary grade
was extremely fine. Among the
most unique and interesting feature
Of this exhibit was the basket aad
mat work, and the display OF
position work was. indeed, remarka-
BILE.
The map work of the grammar
school was also fine a miniature
wharf. the work of Sam Brown, one
of the Seventh graade pupils, was
one of the interesting objects. Bales
of cotton, barrels OF rosin and other
articles Of Brunswick export reposed
in miniature upon this wharf, which
reflected credit upon the children of
the young constructor.
The composition work and the pen
manship exhibit of the grammar
school were the most striking features
of the exhibit, and were remarkably
fine. Altogether the work shows that
the introduction of manual training
into the school is a Ngrand success,
and denotes what may be done in
training the facilities of, ,She children.

The young orators acquitted them
selves splendidly and where each was
so fine it would be hard to choose
which were best. The young ladies
also did splendidly and each one de-
served an individual prize in the opin-
ion OF the audience.
Miss Haddie McCullough's recita-

corded liberal applause The drill
