GERMAN'S SCHOOL, ELIZABETH STREET: - This establishment was built and partially endowed by James German, Esq., in 1848. Its superintendence is intrusted to the minister of All Saints' Church. The northern gable bears the following inscription:  "These schools are erected by James German, as an affectionate tribute to the Memory of the late Thomas German, Esq., of this Town, and in grateful Remembrance of his liberal and Christian example." In the boys' lower school about 40 pupils are taught reading, writing, arithmetic, and geography. The upper school is attended by about 80 pupils, who are taught, in addition, English grammar mathematics, and the higher branches of a commercial education. The lower " girls' school" is devoted to infants of both sexes. About 180 children attend this department. In the girls' higher school, about 60 pupils are instructed in the usual branches of education taught in the national establishments.
