Wheelor and J. B. Sullivan & Co, The report was adopted. ‘The sama Inspector reported that & now schonl had been opened on Ifuron atrect in Temperance 1all, and suggasted that it he known as tho Iuron Btrect Sehool. Tho report syas adopted, Off motlon of the same Inspector, it was declded that when the Doand adjonrned It should do so to mect next Thuraday evening to hear the report of his Committes on the award of contracts for the ‘Throop Btreet School. Inapector Kohn, of the Commitice on Finance and Auditing, reported that his Committee had oxamined the securitics In the hands of tho Echool Agent, and had found that they corresponded with the ahowing presented in the books of the Hoard, and that evergthing was in corcect shape, Tho re< port was sdopted. inspoctor \Wells, as Chalrman of the Committee on THXT DOOKS, in sccordanee with a resolution passed some time ago insteucting the Committes L0 Inquire whatber hooks had bean sold to papila as 85 per cent below tha former retall prices, reported that buoks had not been sold to puplls at those roduced rates, The pablishers worn willing tu furnieh them to the Principals at thosa rates, but the Princlpals had neglected to attend to the matter, and tho books passcd through the tands of the retallers, and rhlen they reactied the pupils the latter had 1o pay ull rates. : 2 Innector English thonght the Noard conld nosw fnalst that the middlemen shonld fuenieh tho books ta papils at 35 per cent off. 1o hopes the Luoks wonld be placed on exhibition in the school-rooms {n promincnt placed to that the puplls might see Just what thoy oult to nay for them. Inspector Wells sald the matter of sdvertisin forbids had Ueon referred to his Committee., ans ihey Lisd vent out circulars to the varlous pubilshe Jit bouses, asking them to furnish thelr lowest rafen, Boveral * 1 repliod, bat tha hids hiad not been opened, as (hicy were walting for others to como In. The Committes therefors asked, and was granted, fnrther time. Inspector English had somathing to say in con. nection with this matter of text-bonks. The Committes's action had done somo gopd towards reducing prices, and he haped they would go on in that line. The pticen of booka had been out- rageously high, To help the Committes on in its conrse ha offored the following? . Jtrsolred, Thal the Committee report specifically thelr recommondations &s to the price and qusality of all books presentad for adopiion, Toupector Wells hoped the Inspector wonld withe draw the resolation, at least until after the bids were opened, Inspeetor English paty no reason for doing that, Thero was a probability that prices could bo ro- duced to oven loes than 35 per cent below previous cost, Inapector Wells was heartlly in favor of doing anything and everything that would belp to reduce tho cost of booke to the vunils, but he did not re- gard it necessary to adoot this rosolution, which wouald involve an untold amount of labor on the Committee, Inspector English insisted on his rerolutton. Inspector Vocke commented on the finmenss amount of {abor which the adeption of tha resolu. tion would Involve on the Conunittee, It would also g\nm;a the board in n wrangle, compared with which the bickerings of the last fewr wevka wereas notling. If tho resolution was adopted, ha must rerign his place on the Committes, Inspector English eald the gentleman had ahown himnclt so well posted In the toat-book business that it woald bs too bad to have him restem. Hut " 1f the Commitico conld not du the work, how could the Board, with its large memborahip, enter into s careful lon of the subject? 1f the wentla- man wi of the work, he would modily the resolution so as to make it apply ouly to the pri- mary and grammar schoals, Inspector Araold sgreed, in tho main, mith In- spector Vocke, 1t would bo an exbiaustive job ta examina and report specifically upon the price and qnality of each book. It svould be much better to wait until a1l the bids wero in, and thenact upon the roport of the Commities. Inspector Engtish rewmurked that a few months ngo there appeared to bo some doubt ae to whother thore could ba any reduction at all. The Commit- teo was at last foreed {nto Oghung the monopoly, and now its Chairninn appeared and acknowlodged that books could be ubtained for it per cent | nll ot which was tho result of the sayuitation, 1ar ns o was concernod, he conld ses no . reason why the Committes should heritate to do the work which his resolation called for, ,Inspector Kelth, who was tired of tho {alk, moved to lay tho resolution, and, 1in so doing, the whole sublact, on’ the table, 'The motion'pre- vailed, Inepector Wells nominated, by goneral consent, ats,and moved that competition in 0 matter of supplying text-books bo opea toall 'Tha motton provatled.
