PuB' ic S'hool examinations.?First /){$
tnci.?Secondary No. was examined yester
day. It is a large school, there being sixty
scholars on the rolls, of whom fifty-one weie
present. This school is under the charge of
.Kiss I,. B. Alien, and is well classified. The
classes in reading displayed good progress, and
-how d proper training m giving due emphasis,
?a geography the first class passed a very
creditable examination, somewhat better than
that ot the second class in geography. In men
tal and practical arithmetic, and the other
i-tudi^s, the scholars were all very good. Mr.
Tnstia complimented school and teacherat the
end of the exercises.
S'coml Distnrt ?The Male Grammar in
charge of Mr. Thomas M. Wilson, was exam
iued by Messrs. Wight, Khees, and Hit/., of the
Trustees, and Z. Richards, Esq., in the pres
ence of qnib> a number of the teachers of oth
er schools. The exercises occupied from one
to seven o'clock. The result of the examina
* tion showed considerable improvement, and in j
some of the stndies the examiuation could not be
surpassed. The first class was excellent in
spelling, mental arithmetic, history and the
governmental instructor, as was also the sec
ond and third classes in mental arithmetic.
The third class also passed good examinations
id grammar, reading, spelling, and in geogra
phy the promptness ami correstness of their
answers surprised the visitors. The reading
was excellent, the boys paying special atten
tion to the punctnation, expression and pro
nunciation. The examination in the govern
mental instructor was conducted by Mr. Blch
irds, who expressed his gratification at the at
tainments of the boys and complimented them |
highly, stating that some fonr years since he
examuu d one of th>- best schools in Boston in
this study, but ihey were far behind the class
he had just examined.
Like many schools we have visited this sea
son, the school was not full on examination
day?a number of the scholars having been
withdrawn dnriigthe past few months. At
present there are but scholars ?n the roll, '
?nd all were present except one, who was in
jured by a fall on the fourth inst.
The room was handsomely decorated and its i
appearance as we 11 as the neatness of the schol- j
ars was complimented by all.
One or two pieces of music were sung by the ,
> t-oys in good style, although it was apparent j
that they had not received the same attention ;
trom the music teacher that the female schools
have.
Tkiri Diftrict.? The Male Intermediate j
School, Miss Jane G. Moss, teacher, was ex- ,
amined on Tuesday by Mr. J. Hits. There ;
were 49 pupils present," and 7 are to be trans- j
terred 1 he third-cla>s was tolerably good in
reading and spelling, in dictation, geography I
and history was good, and In written arith
metic was excellent. The second-class was
pretty fair In reading, dictation and spelling; J
quite good in geography and history, and ex- >
? ellent in menal and written arithmetic. The ,
first-class was excellent in spelling, geography, j
history, governmental instruction and written I
arithmetic, and dictation, and tolerably good
in reading. The school-room is on the first
iloorofthe old Masonic Hall, and will soon
be vacated for more desirable quarters. Miss 1
Moss was educated in this city, and has had
11 years experience in her profession, and
stands high as a tea her.
The Female Intermediate, Miss Francis El
vins. teacher, (sitoated in a pleasant room on
? street, near 6ih east) was examined Wednes
day by Mr. Fergnson, assisted by teachers of
other schools present at the examination. Of
">!> pupils on the roll i'i were present; and of
these ooly 7 were inmar-e of the school last
year; it having lost durin. the year by with
drawal, 30; by transfer, Uo; and by suspension,
2. The first class was especially good in all
branches except reading.
The exercise of writing from dictation
showed that in orthography, chirography and
punctuation the pupils had been carefully
drilled. The exammation ot the flist class in
grammar, g-ography, menial and written
arithmetic was very searching, and the pupils
answered all questions promptly. At the close
ot the examination Mr. Ferguson compliment
ed the school and teacher, and said he would
be obliged to transfer a large number.
Miss Elvans does not allow her classes to
answer in concert, a practice which is deserv
edly ge.ting into disuse amongst the best
teachers.
Secondary No. 5 imale and female), Mrs.
Jordan, late Miss Emily IX Tucker, teacher,
was examined by Mr. J. O. Wilson, of the
Virst District. Mrs. Jordan has 60 pupils on
the roll, aDd of this number 5!> were present;
the other, Valentine Connor, having broken
his leg on July 4th. The school was examined
in the branches usually taught In a secondary
school, but the teacher has had to contend with
the disadvantage of difference in the ages and
attainments of her pupils, whereby she is not
able to properly grade her school. She has
lour or five classes, ?nd these are subdivided
In order to meet tne case of all her scholars.
Indeed there are many who should be in pri- ,
mary schools. Notwithstanding this great
drawback tha examination was pronounced
very good by Mr. Wilson, who made a short
address at the close. During the past year 3i>
have been transferred to schools of higher !
-rade, and 10 will be transferred next year, j
The school was decorated with wreaths and i
iluwers, and here, as at other schools, the ex
? rcises were enlivened by singing.
Fourth /district.?Secondary (male) No. 6, Miss i
llaUie J. Mazee teacher, was examined Wed
nesday. by Mr Murtaghand Mr. J. E. Thomp
son, of the Fourth District Grammar school.
Miss Mb gee has haul charge ot this school only !
tome six inenths, having been promoted to its ,
t -s< h^rship at the time Miss Bead was promo- j
ted to the charge of an intermediate school. Al- j
Humph Miss B. took with her the first class to
her new school, the school in the hands of Miss
Mfgeeh s tnaoe sufficient progress to be able to j
tran. f r si me tight pupils to the intermediate ?
schools. Though young, she seems to have a ,
tact and aptitude for her duties, and a capa- i
bili'y if inspiring both the respect and regard j
ot her pup is, that fits her in a more than ordi- :
nary degree for success as a teacher. Of 46 |
pupils on her roll 11 were present. The classes I
in mental and written arithmetic were excel- I
lent, and almost equally good were those in !
geography and dictation. In spelling, reading,
numeration, Ac., the school passed an excel
lent examination. The copy books attracted
much attention, both for the superior penman
ship displayed and from the neatness with
which the books were kept. There wa3 a large
attendance of parents and others interested in
the school.
The room was very tastefully decorated with
evergreens, flags, flowers, Ac., and with the
tidy bright looking scholars, presented a very
attractiveappe&rance. Otherwise, we can say
nothing got d of the room. It ia one of the
miserable shed affairs which go bv the name
ot scboolhouses, having a wretched low cell
ing, do shade trees, and with a July sunponr
ingdown upon it, the broiling the inmates
catch is rather too severe for christian children
to stand. This is one of a row of such sheds
diTerted trom cow-houses, apparently, and
?'devoted to school purposes." When it is not
-very hot or very cold, and don't rain or snow,
or blow very hard,and thedooraand windows
can be kept wideopen. we daresay such rooms
can be ventilated. Miss Magee is an excellent
teacher,-and deserves a fitting school room, as
Ou the other teachers in this row of sheds.
