At the South . hool of three rooms the tune was all seconds, the previous time lieiug one minute and 20 seconds. These drills are given without warning even to the tea' hers aud at the sound of the gong Ihe scholars fall lu line, not stopping for books or wraps from their cla-si s ami march from the building ho well dulled are the scholars that no con fusion or excitement arises aud all are back iu their rooms and iu their classes iu but little longer time than is takeu lo reach the yard.
