The public examination was held on Tuesday, the 22d of February, and was pronounced by the committee as "entirely satisfactory." It is true that every question was not answered promptly and accurately, but the character of the mental training of the pupils, and the im- provement really made, were good. It was apparent from the recita- tions that the pupils had been taught to think for themselves, and to exercise their mental faculties ; that education, in its strict and proper sense, had been the object kept in view.


The graduating class was larger than usual, consisting of seven members-Misses Emily K. Vickery, Mary F. Loud, S. Annie Blan- chard, Abbie F. Lincoln, Sarah J. South, Messrs. Willie A. Farren, Henry E. Newell. The examination in their respective studies was highly satisfactory. The essays and original orations were decidedly good. Though the exercises were protracted to a late hour, the interest of the parents and friends of the pupils, of whom there were a large number present, was sustained to the close.


SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL.


This school was continued under its former teacher, Mr. GAMWELL. In the school, thorough mental discipline was made a part of the


75


programme. The teacher manifestly was in earnest, mapped out the course of the pupils, designated the kind and amount of the labor -as much as could be fairly performed-and then expected the cooperation of the school, never allowing the pupils to decide whether much or little should be performed. Those who thus cooperated, who labored cheerfully and in the manner and to the extent required, made decided progress. That most did thus labor with their teacher was apparent, " achieving success ;" but it is equally true that some were unwilling to study as industriously and methodically as would have been desirable, and the result was what might have been pre- dicted-a low standard of attainments, a result following in the nat- ural order of sequence, since real progress in science is made depend- ent upon labor, industry and perseverance. While the teacher insisted upon diligence and application, and was himself energetic, laborious and faithful, a similar effort of these pupils would have resulted in satisfactory progress. The school was not so large as during the pre- vious year. At the opening of the school year, the number of pupils was 45. There were present at the closing examination 25. During the year, 20 left. Some of these shrank from the mental application required by the studies of the school, and becoming, after a time, actually unable, in consequence of past neglect, to prepare the lessons assigned to their classes, withdrew from the school. This cause operates to diminish the number of pupils in all High Schools of which we have any knowledge.


The teacher manifested the same zeal and fidelity in his work as in previous years. The instruction was critical and systematic, and the amount studied by the different classes was perfectly satisfactory. Promptness and precision in the statement of principles and the application of rules were pleasing features in the recitations.


The exercises of the closing examination were attended by the parents and friends of the pupils, and all appeared highly satisfied with the results of the year's labor. In the reading of essays, the method was somewhat varied from that ordinarily pursued on such occasions. They were read by classes, and were made the subject of examination, like other exercises. The examination of the classes in physical geography, geology, physiology, chemistry, and the lan- guages, was very satisfactory. The classes in arithmetic, ancient history and English grammar, were not as prompt and accurate as in other recitations.


Four young ladies composed the graduating class-Misses Harriet A. Howe, Hattie C. Torrey, Selena S. Thomas, and Kate Vining, who sustained admirably the examination in all of their studies, and their essays were of a high order in thought, style and expression.
