The Public School closed its fifth
session last Monday at 10 o'clock,
at the opera house.
The examinations begun ou Mon-
day, May 17th, and continued
through the week. Written exami-
nations were held in the forenoon
aud in the afternoon oral examina-
tions on the same subjects.
'.Juite a number of pupils were
promoted on "honor." These are
those pupils whose deportment and
scholarship lias been excellent dur-
ing the entire session. Quite a large
number of pupils were also promoted
on their successful examinations.
Only u small number of pupils failed
to pass the required examination,
and, hence, were not promoted. One
thing is gratifying especially: the
school is overcoming the objection
against graded schools that all the
pupils must do the same thing in the
same time. Some pupils have ac-
complished the work of one und one-
half grades this year. Pupils have
been promoted, too, all during the
session when they showed power to
do the work of an upper grade.
There were not a great many put
rons in attendance on the examina-
tions, but those who were there ex-
pressed themselves as pleased with
the work of the school. It is confi-
dently asserted, without boasting,
that the Bastrop Public Schools will
compare favorably with the best city
schools in the state.
On last Friday night, the pupils
gave their closing entertainment at
the opera house. There were too
many of the little folks to speak of
each one, aud no other mention
could be fair. 'They all did we'll.
The little folks in the drills, the re-
citations, the dialogue, the debute,
the essays, all did well. The large
audience was much pleased.
Monday, May 21, at the opera
house, the Graduating Class was
the attraction. They were Misses
Maggie Morris, Lassie tlreen and
Cora Krhard. Miss Maggie Morris,
as the representative of the class,
read a beautiful essay on "Duty, the
Aim and Knd of the Highest Life."
The audience was loud in praise of
Miss Maggie's composition and its
delivery. Col. G. W. Jones then
delivered the address. It was re-
plete with good thought, eloquently
expressed. Col. Jones is an educa-
tional philosopher, as well as a pro-
found lawyer and an eloquent ora-
tor. It is believed that this address
will do much good. It discussed
the importance of early education
and the reciprocal duties of teacher
and parent.
Superintendent Rogers presented
the diplomas to the graduates, in a
few appropriate remarks. And thus
CtxJeil the fifth session of our public
school.
— District court, June term, con-
venes next Monday two weeks, June
14th.
—An interesting contribution from

the colored school, left Tuesday on
