Tusuir A, llorxe. The opinion of the attorney of tho Roard, abovo .mrmfl to, wae, hn substance, as follows: Tha fiw, s 1t wan before 1872, pave anthority to the iy to collect taxes for school purposes, and tho faén Noard hiad control of the schiools, Tho changes pade In the luw slnco were two: firsl, a consolidn- tlon of the School law, adding o acction for cit! of 100,000 inhabitants and over; second, the ga eral charter for citick and villazes. 1By rome it was dalmed that the clanse relating to ciifea is uncon-. sitational, The atiorney could not agree with ibls. Whilo the ieneral 8chool Iaw muet ho the \ime tho State over, the different machinery for e orcing tho law mijcht vary, Thero were differ- £5t rales tegulnting different warchonees, o dif- ferent clasers of frelitht were Lo be carricd at differ- et pricer. If all citien of a certamn number of ighsoitants had the same machinery, it would bo all the Constitution required. Dot {twas eald that, when the city organized cnder tho gencral charter, it lost the power to lovy and collect taxes, becanse the schools were not enomernted inthe law. Bat this act did give power fosseers and collect taxea fOF corporate putposes, 1od the Supreme Court had virtually sald that the qtslninz of schools was a corporate purpoee. Ansin, by a positive provision in the gencral tharter, a1l Jaws or parts of laws not inconsistent with the provisionn of tho act were to continue In force. 'Thero was no pretense that the old law was izconeistent with the new. The most that was calmed was that it had been omitted. The Court, jathe Sherldan-Colvin case, decided that one of the old lawa should stand because not inconeistent, The attorney did not think the late u{wlnlnn went £o fira4 to decido that all purposca not mentloned In Ibe law were not corporate purposes, The law, he believed, would recetve the same conatraction and isterpretation in the Sgpreme Court that had been piaced on it by tho city authorities and the Board of Education, and there waa no good resson, in his cpiman, for making any chunr« basced upon the fleathat a different construction would be placed upen thoso various acts. Unmotlon of Inspector Prussing, the report was 1eceived aud ordered published. TAY-DAY.

Chicago ia apitated over a discusslonof the nachool-hook question, Inducad by {ho refusal of the School Lioard to recelvo bida from the varlous achool-hook publishers, ataling the lowest prico Jar which they will farnlsh their books, Tho re- fusal of tho Board to accent this proposition is ro- garded aa a determination to maintain the oxtating monopoly in school-books, and {s reverely cen- sured by a Iarge class of taxpayers, to whom cheap text-books fe an Important item.
