We were highly gratifed last evening in attend
ing the exhibition and examination of the pub
lie school of colored children in this city. 1t
took place at the African church in High street.
About forty children under the charge of Mr.. A.
Washington were examined in geography, gram
mar, history, arithmetic and composition. It was
in all respects an exhibition of much interest
There were aged parents who had never enjoyed
the advantages Of education, listening with delight
and wonder to the attainments of their own chill
dren reading their own composition from their
own manuscripts, which was exceedingly credta-
bic to them. Vocal music and dialogues also en-
livened the exhibition. The teacher appears to
have devoted himself right worthily to his voca-
tion, and repeatedly offered his scholars to be ex-
amined and questioned by any persons present, as
to the soundness of their attainments. The school
deserves the encouragement of all our citizens
who regard humanity, charity, and good morals !;
for all allow that ignorance and vice are forever
connected, and that the proper mode of incucat-
ing lasting moral influences, is by education.-L
