AMUSEMENTS, TO-NIGH F National TH&ATKE.—Last night but one of the Arabs SEVENTH STREET PaRK.—Pic-n‘c of Ridgely Association. ——_.—__. Pun.io Sonoo, ExaminaTions.—The fol- lowing were examined yesterday afternoon: First District.—2d (Female) Primary, Miss Emily Kobinson, teacher, by Mr. Tustin. Of Ss pupus on the rolls, 56 were present, one ab- seut trom sickness. The scNool occupies a cbeertul, well-lighted and neatly arranged Toom on the third floor of Wilson's building, corner 19th streetand Penma. avenue, and is about the most advarced of the primaries in the First District. The examination embraced abbreviations, yocai sounds, spelling, reading, geography, mental and practical arithmetic, <&c., and was interspersed with singing by the pupils, in arithmetuc the first and second classes were both good, the first and sevond spelling prompt and correct, and the second reading class very good, whilein geography the school showed ,to excellent advantage. Many of the books used are the same as those in the secondary scheols. Miss Robinson nas transferred two classes to a higher school during te year—one in September and one in Octover—and there are now 20 to 25 pupils ready fort amster. (Juite a number of parents and friends of the pupils were present at the examination, And at its close the little ones were addressed by Mr. Tustin and Alderman Richards. There is one objection to the loca- tion ofthis school and Primary No. 3, (noticed below.) and that is the noise of the street cars and vehicles on the avenue, which makes it almost impossible to bear the lessons at umes. 3d (Female) Primary, Miss Bates teacher, examined by Mr. Wilson; 53 pupils, all pres- ent. This schoolis in an apartment on the second floor of the building, corner 19th street and the avenue. 1t 1s for the smallest children. and the object system fully carried out is found to worksdmirably. Theexamination of forms, colors, natural history, scripture subjects, &c., taught by this method was very satisfactory, while the pictures cn the walis give the room. otherwise @ pleasant one, an attractive appear- auce. ln spelling the children are taught first to spell by sounds as combined to make words, ana then by letters in the usual way. Thead- vantages of the method are shown in the clear- ness and distinctness of theirexamination when Teading or speaking. Another idea here car- Tied out is to have the children themselves cor- Tect ap error made by a class mate, thus en- couraging emulation. The medal scholar is a bright little girl who reads very correctly, al- though she did not know her letters at the be- ginning of the school year. There are pro ba- bly 25 pupils re y to be transferred, while there are 35 candidates for admission to this school. Miss Ba.es was originally from Maine, and taught Grammar schools for some years in Massachusetts. Her success ina primary school shows the advantage of talent and experience in teaching the younger children, aud to ensure it the pay ought to approximate more nearly that of teachers in the higher schools. A gre:t many adults were present at the examination, and &t its close the children were addressed by Mr. Wilson and Alderman Richarde. 4th (Female) Primary. Miss Oceana A. Walker, teacher; examined by Mr. Browa. The 56 pupils on tre rolls were ail present, and being neatly dir-sed in white, with blue and red scarfs and ribbous, they made a besu- ufulappearance. Tne school occupies a com- tortable room in the basement ofthe 13th street Baptist Church, which was handsomely deco- rated with wreaths and flags. The teacher here seems to be in thorough sympathy with her pupils, and to govern them by the law of love: and their attachment for her does not prevent them from being tractable and orderly. in reading, spelling, mental arithmetic, pnoc. taation marks, abbreviations. Roman letters, and gymnastic exercises, theexamination was very satisfactory, while the singing was fair. Quite a large number of the parents and triends of the children were present at the ex- amination. All batl2of the children are in the first class, and of these 20 are sufficiently advanced to be transferred to a higher school. There are no applications for admission. Second Listrict.—Primary No. 5, in charge of Miss Lewis, was examined by Messrs. Rhees and Woodward, in the school-room on the ground floor of the old Medical College Build- ing, corner of 10tb and E streets. This school is composed of boys of the lowest school age, and many of them look as it they have not yet attained it. There are fifty-seven on the roll, And all butthree were present. Last fall many of them were in the alphabet, and sow are able to Tread and spell quite well: and in mental arithmetic they generally answered the ques- tons promptly and correctly. The order ob- served was very good for boys of this age. During the year quitea number have been transferred from this school, and less than one-balf of the present pupils haye been in at- tendance since last September. Primary No. 6. under the charge of Miss Jennie Free, was examined in the lower story of the Miller School Butlding, H street, be- tween 6th and 7th, by Mr. Fox, in the presence of quite a number of the parents and friends of the pupils, among whom we noticed Rey T. R. Howlett, of Calvary Baptist Charch,and Rey. Dr. J. C. Smith, of the Fourth Presbyte- rian Oburch. There are sixty on the roll of this school, and all were present with the ex- ception of twe or three detained by sickne: The little girls, some scarcely six years of age. acquitted themselves handsomely, and but few questions were unanswered. The reading Was particularly good, with theexception that ope or two read too low; but so natura! did they read, and so generally were the punctu- ation Marks observed, as to deserve the com- pliments of those present. The whole were well drilled in_ music, and sung some pieees beautifully. Many of the pupils who were in the school the first of the year have been trans- terred, and the teaeher expects to tramsfer at least fifteen at the end of theschool year. After the exercises bad been concluded, Rey. Dr. Smith, Rey Mr. Howlett, Mr. Woodward and Mr. Fox addressed the pupils. The 4th Primary (Female) School, taught by Miss M. Louise Parker, on ‘ith street, near (, was examined by Mr. Woodward yesterday morning. The school numbers 67 scholars, 65 of whom were present: two keptaway by sick- ness. The four classes were examined in read- ing, Writing, spelling, and mental! arithmetic; and the exercises were made interesting by the Singing of several beautiful pieces, as also a gymnastic exercise, in which all participated and seemed to enjoy it. The school passed the examination admirably. At 10 o'clock yester- day morning, Mr. Woodward commenced the examination of the ist Primary (Male) School, in the room below, taught by Miss Marion Y. Davis, and nambering 60 scholars, but few ot whom were absent. The school was examined in the seme branches of study as the tormer, and stood a good examination. Many of the psrents and friends of the scholars were pres- ert. and manifested a deep interest in their welfare. Seventeen of the former school and fifteen of the latter were transferred to the in- termediate school of the second district. eae ee Perty Larcuwy Cases.—Onarlotte Thorn- ton was arrested yesterday by Officer Noble for the larceny of 26%; yards of cambric trom the store of Benjamin Miller, on Bridge stret.
