Report of the Examination of the Public Schools in the City of Roxbury

Excerpt from Report of the Examination of the Public Schools in the City of Roxbury: For the Year 1856 The Third Class, numbering forty pupils, having an average age of years, have been connected with the school about nine months. They were examined in His tory, Arithmetic, Analysis and Parsing, Penmanship and Declamation. They have also attended to Descriptive Geography, Physical Geography, and English Composition. This class is under the instruction Of Mr. R. C. Metcalf. During this, their first year, they have been employed, for the most part, in finishing up their Grammar School stu dies. N 0 time, however, has been lost. The instruction which they receive is by no means a repetition or reitera tion of what they have already acquired, but rather an application of it to the higher branches, and quite essential as an introduction to a High School course of study. Mr. Metcalf is a thorough, practical teacher, and is evidently animated by the same spirit which makes the Principal so successful.
