When our reporter visited t he East Snlem school last week, his work was but partially performed, as lie could spare time to visit but five of the class rooms. He published a brief account of what he saw there, which seems to have been read with general interest. That the remain ing teachers and their classes, in that handsome and commodious building, mny not feel themselves slighted, our newspaper man spent yesterday in watchiiiR their studies, and below is a report of what he saw there. I'KOF. S. A. HANDLE. The first room encountered in the right ns the visitor enters the build ing is presided over by Supt. Ran die. This cllieient educator, beside performing the duties of city super intendent, has charge of the high est grade in our public schools, class A, grade 1. This furnishes him all the employment he can conven iently attend to, and during the days he is absent visiting tho other schools, his place is supplied by Mr. Jlyers, who acts as supernumerary in addition to his" duties as writing teacher. In Prof. Handle's room wo found 25 scholars present who were busy on an epistolary exercise. They were at work on the black board, writing the address and close to a letter of application. These boys and girls were supposed to be asking em ployment, and they were required to state their qualifications and to furnish endorsements as to their fit ness. In the performance of such a task neatness and correctness should be observed, as any exposure of il literacy would be fatal to their out start in life. The professor produced a package of letters written by his pupils, as examples of their skill in tills form of composition, which were really creditable for the busi ness like air that pervaded them, and tho modesty with which their claims were set forth. Tho average of the writing in this whole building is good, which is evidence that Mr. Myers faithfully performs his task. MISS THUO. VAN WAGNER was next visited, who has the B class of grade 2. This lady reports 48 scholars enrolled, 43 were present. At tho reporter's request 20 words of two and three syllables were given to the school, as a spelling exercise, written on the blackboard. About twenty scholars took part in tho work. The visitor questioned them ou uio nominative ami possessive rcwesof the nouns they had written, requiring them to change the apostrophe to indicate the singular or plural number. They ac quitted themselves creditably in mis (iniicuit exercise. A lew ques tions in grammar were next put to tlie scholars, who showed a readiness in naming the parts of speech, but they fell into some confusion over the conjugation of verbs and inflox ion of personal pronouns. Tho fourth reader is used in this room, and in arithmetic the scholars nre struggling with long division. MIR.S I,. K. LITCHFIELD teaches R class in tho 3rd grado; hirt j -three scholars woro in atteu 'laucv. Mental arithmetic was in progress as the newspaper man cn ered the room, multiplication of fractions beig the tnsk they wero ngaged in. Horo is an example: 'If iivi-dxths of a peck of beans Ms ten wilts, what will sevon lika iost?" This and a dozen rtluTsueh examples wore rondily lorkedout by tho rather di.Tiifeo "'at.il formula contained in tho kt 1.00k, Hcveml of the problems winding complicated to tho otir, tot win- reduced to simplicity by " lr kvhh in Ufce. The third render iw-d in this room, geography and ITaiimiur in an elementary form. Mli Git ACS OILLINUHAJI t lie next school bolow, here be f U- B, grade 4. The name of M holarH are enrolled on lir book, 41 v -4 were mnwent. Noma ImUiiet '"l'l fr.m whool on account of sick-. "" A M'Uing lesson being given u'tln- c luMren m the request of tho rcjK.ru.r, they performed their Uwk Warurily, although several were iuM,.,i iu giving the right accent '"la- 11wel. Tbtefca coiupiu-uUvely tonkin cbooj work, and the rule m ould be more honored in the breach than the observance. The four sounds of the vowel a, for in stance, clrcumilox (or curvo) for tho short sound, ono or two dots over tho vowel, one or two dots placed under it, to express the slight modi fications in quantity, are cumber some to repeat every time the vowel occurs, and lacks utility to recom mend it. Children learn quantity In orthoepy without eilort, ns M. Jourdain had been talking prose all his life without knowing it; and this weighting them down with the mere machinery of learning is the vagary of a doctrinaire. Miss Gilllngham is an eillcicnt teacher, and her creditable work is shown in her school. On the second floor MISS LELLA WATE1SB teaches class A of grado 4. Thirty- one scholars were at their desks. A reading lesson (in the second reader) was llrst given, in which half a score fluent and correct readers took part, then a spelling exercise was set them, which was fairly done. In grammar these little tyros could readily tell nouns, adjectives and verbs, further their philologic learn ing did not extend. This study is generally regarded as a bugbear in schools, but in a little talk with these scholars on grammar they showed interest and intelligence. The last school visited was that taught by MISS EMILY IIKKELET. who has the A class of grade 3. Her book has 50 names enrolled, though a count of noses showed but 38 present. Mental arithmetic was engaging tho school when the re porter entered ; complex numbers being reduced to improper fractions. This exercise of the memory and the reasoning faculties causes a good deal of llpundering, but, with the aid of a littlo judicious prompting, they generally work the problem through their system and come out unharmed.Thereporterwnsindulged by the teacher with a brief cate chetical excursion, for the purpose of testing the thoroughness of the scholars in the work they have gone through. The examination was satisfactory. By this time the clock pointed to 3:15 ; the welcome sound'of the bell was heard ; the scholars cleared their desks, and sat in readiness to take part in the parade of dismissal. A march was played on the piano in the lower hall ; each room in suc cession disgorged its inmates ; these several contingents fell into column, which under the eye of the princi pal, and the espionage of four moni tors, marched through tho school ground without noise and without breaking line and then separated for their various homes. To Superintendent Handle and all the teaehers visited, our reporter ex presses his wannest obligations for the courtesy and kindness extended to him. A Sauna Legal Opinion. E. Bainbridgc Mundny Esq., county atty., Clay county, Tex., says: "Have iifccd Electric Bitters with most happy results.
