The committee was continued. RELIGION AND EDUCATION. An application was received for the use of the school house on 12th street southwest, in whieh to organize a church. Several members approved granting the use of the school build- ings to any but educational purposes, aud a resolution was passed to that effect. THE HIGH SCHOOL UNDER PROF. GREENER. Snperintendent G. F. T. Cook submitted the report of the committee to conduct the written examination of the preparatory high school, in which it is stated that ‘all of the questions sub- mitted to the pupils of this class were taken from the text-books used in these schools, and confined strictly to the limits of the first gram- mar grade. Of the sixty-five pupils examined only one attained an average percentage of sev- enty,or the percent necessary for promo- tion.’ The 2d class average in the sever: vursued during the year stands as f Reading, 82; spelling, 64; arithmetic, 12; alg bra, 23; grammar, 42; history, 38. The general average of the class 1244 per cent. Last year the claas stood ac follows:—Reading, 90; spelling, 78; arithmetic, 55; algebra, 31: gtammar, 48; natural phiosophy, 35; or a general class ayerage in all studies of 56 per cent. The — per cent. of the first class in each study is as follows:—Reading, 90; spelling, 60; aritlimetie, 35; algebra, 57; geometry, 55, his- tory, 41; grammar, 3%; natural philosophy, 48; or 4 general class average in all studies of 5 per cent. The first class of the previous year was as fol- lows:—Keading, #4; spelling, 13; arithmetic, 60; algebra, 43; grammar, 55; natural philosophy, 65; Latin, 69; or a general class average in all studies of 66 per cent. The report says:—* It was found, in compari- son with the papers of last year, that the pupils of the same class were not as far advanced in several of the studies as they were last year. ‘The questions selected tor the test were, how- ever, restricted to the limits designated by the teacher. Accompanying, you will also tind copies of the questions tor éach year. An in- spection of them will show that those of the previous year in the same studies not only cov- ered the same grouhd, but were of a more diifi- cult character.”” Accompanying the report is a LETTER OF PROF. GREENER as to the progress made in the studies in w he says: “Since the advance class finished the arithmetic before I took charge, and in view of the number of studies they are obliged to review for the two approaching exam tions, Ishould be glad if you would omit arithmetic trom their examinations. In the lower class, quite a uumber of scholars are pre- pared to have gone further in arithmetic and algebra, but I have been forced to keep them back on account of the extraordinary size of the class.” Adjourned. THE GRAND ANNUAL FAMILY EXCURSION of “Turtles” took place yesterday. It may not, but ought to be, generally known that the Turtles are a social, scientitic, polytechnic, ethical, peripatetic and literary tribe, belong- ing to the order of crustacea, which has existed in South Washington from @ remote period of time. According to Cuvier, they may be di- vided into two classes, but the specimens under consideration claim to be classed as stompadi, laemopadi, exphosura, but Prof. Agassiz would probably assign them to either the pecilopada or the pachydermata, (the ch in this word being pronounced as k,) owing to the ponderous pro- —- of some of these Turtles. Not wis! too muc science at one time, we will not pursue the pilosophical analysis any further, but proceed sketch their nomadic peculiarities as devel- oped yesterday. Among their social affinities hospitality ds first, and it was appa- rent yesterday in their tuvitation to their wives. and sweethearts, children and friends to an aquatic display of Turtles on the Potomac, extending by steamer Wawaset as far as Glymont, and attended by the inspirin, music of Donch’s band, eountless baskets o} edibles, a ton ef ice, an indefinite number of old ests frem “up town, about six hundred, At 9% a. m., Oap- tain —— L, Pearson gave the executive sig- nal, and the crustaceous steamer moved off, all on board feeling assurance doubly sure that under the well-established nantical skill of Capt. P., no sad disaster could shipwreck their hopes of @ good time, for alt!ioagh the early scenesof Captain P.’s experiences iu navigation have been hidden forever from public gaze b: the Board of Public Works, the oldest inhabi- tants of future generations will probably refer to the spot as one made memorable not only by producing first-class sailors, but its demise as barking that h in Washington's history in which South Washington ceased to be ‘the MIsland.” Arriving at Glymont about 12 o’clock, the ‘Turtles made their first scientitic demonstra- tion as “feeders,” and consequently fried chick- ens flew much faster in that fascinating state than they had: done in their “normal” cou- dition. Epieureans the Turtles have a world-wide fame, to which their performances Jesterday added new laurels. The next thing mn order was the gay and festive dance, in whieh some of the most venerable Turtles tripped with an agility that threw the younger ones into ecstasies of Joy. Some of the Turtles neve see proclivities, extemporized a game of base ball. To represent the club in propria persone the following beautiful selec- tion from the Turtle athletes will afford the connoisseur in base ball food for profound med- itation and improvement, viz.:—Captain of the nine, Geory ——t; (don’t be startled, dearest reader, this isn’t the veritable George of the Boston nine, but the inventor of @ famous ma- chine for the manufacture of percusston caps;) piteher, Capt.
