They ‘were also well advanced in arithmetic. Sing- ing had not been neglected, and during the ex- ercises several pieces were admirably well sung. At the concinsion Mr. Woodward ad- dressed the school, congratulating the teacher who, by the way, is thedanghter of Mr. T. M. ilson, formerly of the Second District Male Grarimar School) and scholars om the result of the examination, and especially on the ex- cellent order; referring also to the fact that the reading was somewhat more distinct and louder than in the female schools generally. Yesterday morning, Primary No. 12, located on C street, near 4th, and in chargeot Miss Emma L. Wilson, (formerly of Georgetow: ‘was examined by Mr. Woodward. and the girls present (the roll numbering 60,) acquitted themselves admirably. The reading Bere was very creditable, but one branch of study should not be singled ont, for as was the case with the tormer school, the teacher appeared to have labored impartially, devoting to each study and class her best efforts. cellent; the singing fine, and the general ap- pearance of the school was creditable alike to pupils and teacher, who, by the way, during the first years’ teaching in Washington has shown that she 1s well ap to the work. Secc No. 3, in the same building, rs. Quinlan, (formerly M. mond,) was examined’ by Mr. Woodward. Mrs. (luinlan has long been a favorite teacher in the Secend District, but this is her firet year in this neighborhood. The school numbers 45 boys, whose behavior was good, and who are well upin the secondary studies, espec arithmetic. This is a neW school, ina new and growing neighborhood, and ina short time it will likely be @ full one, and the neighborhodd should be proud that an experienced teacher has been located there. Secondary, No. $, in the O street building, established about tour months since, aud placed in charge of Miss Jennie H. Free, was examined by Messrs. Rhees and Woodward. The schoo] numbers 49 girls, and considerin; the short time it bas been in operation it show: to great advantage: indeed, the examination Was such &s to surprise some of those present. The teacher has been in the service three or four years. and hasa well trained school. The order was excellent, and the reading and spell. ing fine, while the singing was quite as good as in other schools. Third Distriet.—Primary school No. 1, Miss Rosa Dyer teneher, was examined by Dr. Walsh, trustee, yesterday afternoon, when the scholars acquitted themselves well in the rudi- ments of spelling, reading, writing, and sing- ing. This school comprises sixty small boys, ‘even of whom were present. It is To! ed in an ill-ventilated trame building on te rner of Pennsylvania avenue and Fourth street, Capito! Hill,and being destitute of desks and other proper school furniture. makes its exceedingly inconvenient both to scholars and teacher. ‘The examination of Mrs. Maria V. McCath- ran’s (acting teacher) primary school No. 11. located in the old Odd Fellows’ buildings, cor- ner of 7th and G streets,Capitol Hill,took place at balf-past 2, under the superintendence of Mr. Marks, trustee. Rev. Mr. Holliday was Rivsent, aud took part in she examination. ‘he exercises consisted of spelling and vow. sounds, reading, deflaing, arithmetic, num: tion, written arithmetic, and singing, and passed off very satisfactory. Many of the children at ihe organization 1a November last only knew the alphabet, but now can spell in fourand five syllables and read well. Whole number of scholars sixty, fifty-seven of whom were present. At the close of the examination remarks were made by Kev. Holliday, Dr. McKim, and Mr. Marks. Ty ScLool No. 12, Miss Simpson, teach. €r, taught in the school-bowse at tue corner of Jd and A streets east, was examined by Mr. Jebnson, trasiee. This school embraces sixty- mv tanght by Wree female scholars, consisting of small girls, the eldest of whom is scarcely ten years old.’ Fifty-niue were present. The little rs pauently endured the exercises, which lasted over three hours, and at the close re- ceived the grateful plaudits of the trastec, acher, and spectators. Miss Sumpson has la bored under serious difficulties in the ‘fain: of her little charges, having been compelled to testch in a smalland most upcomfortable room, wath no desks, and the chairs necessarily jammed so close ther a8 scardely to allow elbow room. By close application, however, and adecermination not to bediscourazed, she has succeeded in laying an excellent fona- dation in the minds of children for future education, A list of the names of those sch oI ars entitled to ams was pi by the teacher,and wea eat prior babmisning. ne school.

Fourth District—Female Intermediate No. 1 was examined by Dr. Croggon and Dr. Charies Allen, yesterday, before a larger au‘ti- ence than the scant room would hold com- fortably. On the roll, 54; present, 92; %3 trans- ferred io the Grammar School during the year. This school is badly located, in the midst of a Jot of boys’ schools, all of which front directly on the street, and necessitate an amount of con tact and association that should be avoided. This wall be probably remedied after vacation The exercises were superior to those of a ma- jority of the Intermediate Schools, Their promptness in common and decimal fractions could not weil be surpassed. In the analysis of sentences and word parsing the pupils showed a clear understanding of the gram- matical relations involved in a selection of verse, written inverted and elliptacal, which was given them to analyze. The penmanship was good; so was the reading and orthography. The fact is it has been 2 working school, & the evidence given yesterday is conclusive. Dy, Charies Alle addressed the school with bis usual felicity at the close. Secondary No. 1, in charge ot Miss Annie Adams. was examined yesterday 4 Mr. Cas- sell. On the roll, #7, all present.

Secondary No. 2, Miss M. A. Lee teacher, mined by Mr. W. J. Stephenson, Mr. J. E. Holmead and Professor Z. Richards. A fine schoolroom (the best in the city;) a large company, and a well trained school contributed to make the examination pass with interest and admiration. Much attention has been paid to the Spencerian system of Penmanship, and in tbis branch of education the pupils showed remarkable proficiency. The mental arithmeticgs also mentioned as a superior ex- hibition, ile all the studies fully sustained Miss Lee's reputation for thorough drill aad close attention to ner school duties. Messrs.
