It affords mo much pleasure to be
able to state that, during tho year, a
very high degreo of prosperity has
attended tbo schools, and that the
results of tho labors of tho teachers
and scholars arc quito satisfactory.
The teachers have, on all occasions,
oo-operatod with mo in carrying out
tho details of tho arduous work in
which wo havo been engaged, and
have faithfully devoted themselves
to the training and instruction of tho
children committed to their care.
Tbe work ot tho teachers having
been performed under my immedi-
ate direction and eiiporvision, I can
vouch for its efficiency—but com-
ment is unnecessary, as it speaks for
ilso'f m the most positive manner.
At tho opening ot tho school, on
on the 10th ol September last, 310
pupils presented thcmsolves for tUb
mission into the white school, and
about 30 for admission into tho col-
ored school. Tho enrollment soon
rose to 450, or upwards, in the forra-
er school, and to about 58 in the lat-
tor. This enrollment was maintain-
ed, with but slight, variations, till
very near tho close ot the session,
when some ol tho larger pupils were
withdrawn theirscrviceshaving been
required by their parents. Tho av- j italhi i beinS t0 PcrfeCt an °rgUniZil

examination, the question having
been previously prepared by my-
self, and then presented to the pu-
pils by their respective teachers.
The time occupied by each quiutcr-
ly examination was from oiglit to

pupils in the regular work prescrib-
ed in the course of study was thus
always kept in view, and. according-
ly, when changes or promotions

promptly made. Most ol the grades
