I wid reply a= briefly as possible. On the day Miss Elyans was buried I re- ceived a written application for permission ty close their schools to attend the funeral, signed by five or six teachers Th: re was no dispos.- 1 manifested by the schools to attend in a body. 1 ‘ook into consideration the fact that the Schools had lost time in consequence» of de- lay in getting the furnaces in the Wallach Build- ing, which were Worn out, replaced with new on. «and fom ether causes, to such an extent that parents wi re constantly compiaining, aad some, md ed, became so diseatisfied that taey noved ther childra from the public and sent them to privateschools, And, again, Miss uvans, at the time of her death, was an ex- cher, having rvsicned at the close of the son of 18576, and resided in a part of the city so remow from our district (M street north, betwee and luth streets west,) as w Mynuer an Organized attendance of her funeral on art of the schools impracticable. Pur by se reusous J determined that it was better to appoiut the few teachers who desired ty a tend, than to interrnpt the twenty-three schools in my district fora day, or even a haif day, and hence I reiused the request. No other motive whatever prompted tais refusal, except my so- licitude for the progress apd best iiteresis of th: schools, in part under my charge, -Itis a fact well known to the teachers, pupils, and others connected with the schools, that [ entertained the very highest opinion of Miss most e=ti lady and excelient teacher; that our eacher and trustee were always of the most cordial and friendly ehar- ter. If she had been atthe time of her deat, or, in view of her long and fa:thfal service, it she bad resided in our midst. no one would have been more ready and willing than I to have shown all possible respect to her memory by a formal and organized attendance ut ber funeral by all the schools of my district. “Many people (and Lam sorry to class with them many otherwise good teachers) think ita small mnatter to close the publie schools for a day. But when we consider that the schools cost the Corporation about $125,000 per annum, and add to this say $25,000 bore b; books, Ae parents for and remember that there are but ool days in a year, we haye a cost of about $0 pe . To close the schools, therefore, for a day is a loss of $00) to tax-pay- ers and parents, to sty nothing of the loss of ouw day of ti children, witich money cannot replace. 7 In regard to your second inquiry, T will say that near the close of last session, Sallie Ma field, a pupil in primary school No. 1, Mrs. Roys wacher, was corporeally punished for misconduct. Her mother, without couplain- her of the yoard of Truste-s, pro- eacher was arreted and Tucker, whe heard ant the case, on the ground that corpore- aj punishment was authorized in the schools as @ means of discipline, and from the evidence in this ease and @ personal examination of the marks or bruises, be did not think the punish- ment had been unjustitiably severe, or that the cuild had been “cruelly beaten,” as charged. ‘The mother, with much feeling, remarked that he would not allow her child to be whipped by ¥ person; that she reserved that privilrge Lhisively to herself. Wishing tosave the we er from the annoyance of beig again arrest and the schools from the moral effect of Such . I dirreted the teacher to dis- mi== the child from ber school. Shortly after- wards I received & communication from a committee of @ lodge of Oxdd Fellows, asking why she had been vd, In stunstance, that the positively refused to submaut = of the schools, and I therefore thought it would be best for the interest of all parties concerned, that the child should m tic tend » public school. but some school where the parent could dictate her own terms. A com- munication was then addressed by the same committee to the Board of Trusters, detailing the faets, and praying their interference, which Was referred to the sub-Bourd of the Third Dis. trict. After consultation, the sub-Board aa. thorized one of their number to inform the said comimittee that the child would be reinstated, provided the parent would agree. that d be sw bjeet to the rules, as all other chil- To this, one of the committes replied, verbelly, that the mother had nothing to do With the matter; that the child was exclusively under the charge of the Odd Fellows. Since then I have heard nothing more about the mat- wer. nor ha the child entered any public school vf my district, so far as 1 ain mformed. ‘ery respectfully, your obedient servant. ‘T. Evwarp Crank.” A commanication from Joseph S. Martin ad- dressed to Jobn T. Given, Esq. making the following “tatement im reference to the case of T. Edward Clarke was then read: On or about the 26:9 of June last, Sarah A. Mausfield, a pa- pilin the Primary School under the care of Mrs. E. Roy, after having been anmercifully whipped by Mrs. Roys was dismissed fom school by Mr. Olark. According to lis own admission she was not disini-sed for what she bad done, but for the action taken by tue mother. The child's father is dead.” A communiestion was next read addressed the Board of Public School of Washington, D.C. by the School Committee of Union Lodge, No. 1, 1. O. O. F., in which the “Gn or about the 27th day of June, 1¢: Emma Roys, who has a nursing babe, } school, as had been her custom, to retire to her house to purse ber infant, leaving & monitor to Watch and report pupils who might break the rules of the school or incur the monitor's dis- pleasure. A little girl, an orphan, named Sarah A. Mansfield, during Mrs. Roys’ abseace, tickled a little girl wext to her, causing her to lxugh, When the teacher returned, she cruelly whipped Sarab A. Mansfield with « ruler. marking and broi-ing her aris and shoulders very much, Mrs. Mansfield went to Mrs. Roys to investigate the cause of such severe punish- ment, and instead of receiving any satisfaction, was told if she did not like that kind of pun- ishment she could remove her child from the school. Mrs. Mansfield then took out a U.S. warrant against Mre. Roys, for which she has been roundly abused by Mrs. Roys’ husband. and called an old bag. &c., and the little girl dismisset from the school.” We addressed a note to Mr. T. E. Clark, one of the sub-vourd of the district, asking if the child bad been re. oved from school, and why. A copy of Mr. k's letter is herein inclosed.” Mr. Clarke, in his answer bere referred to, suys:—*She (Sally Mansfield) was distai-sed Wy my direction, because the course pursued by ber parent im having the teacher arrested snd dragged before a police court, because her child was chastived for misconduct ard a vio- Jation of the express instructions of her teach. is calenlated to degrade and impair the dis- cipline of the schools. Corporeal punishment, 2s a 7 of discipline, is authorized by the proper authorities in the public schools. ‘Thix parent, by refusing or objecting to ber child | being thus punished, really objects t+ the rules of the public schools, and is not willing to abide by them. She cannot therefore be per- mitted to place her child ina school, the en- forcement of the rules of which, might again snbject the teacher to the annoyance of beng ar and viciously attacked by the public pr Pour. Elyans spoke of the evidently labored attempt of Mr. Clark to palliate his want of soul in refusing to allow the schools to be dis- missed to attend the funeral of a deceased teacher, and said he bad proof that Mr. Clark said lo the lady teachers tha: called upon bim for permission to dismiss the schools and at- tend the funeral, that he had seen the death notice in the papers thé night before, aud had nade up his mind not to allow the schools to be distaissed for any such purpose. He (Mr. E.) said that this compound oftyranny, egotisin, ond cruelty, whose character was iy pitied by bis initial», had in the case of the Guherless child referred to, displayed those characteris. Ues, in dismissing the child from school after ithad been unhumanly panished for a slight offense, just because he did not like the course of its mother. Mr. Elvans also referred to the ‘want of funds which preyented a purchase of premioms by the trustees at the close of the ast ee. said a gentleman purchased a medal, which was placed around the neck of a little girl, the daughter of a well-known eitizen.and she had been deprived of that gift by Mr. Clark, who had it sent to a jeweler, had the name changed, and the medal given to auother child. He then spoke of a scene in an office in the Sixth Ward, where this school trustee and jumber dealer was present, when an old lady sudan old resident of the ward applied for books for her children, when he turned uy her with a sneer and said, “ ilk dress, eo io be for your <l i. lady's eyes, and she said the dress was the sole prosperous days, and relic she had of more temen pres- other school trustees, shame, sadly turned sway, whil Ln ge dh other trustees would have interfered, con- Shouta ‘ve well fried with proc! a of fu gdr rther investigation, He sab in rofe ence to the claim tor Duos he un Jerstood th the lady ap: Lcant hold @ po ition ja the Tras UTY abs Kulary of $6) to $60 per mont.

Mr. McCatiran wae sorry to bear thers were two such cases, and again args! further vestigation Mr. Riehurds then spoke of his experienes of the misecutle treatment of the tec hers of the schuo.r, and the want of public sympathy for a claes who bardly work d and un ‘erpacd need ‘tso much, Mr. Ciarke did not sympachiae with the teachers, be had teated the dead with dis expect, and acted a brutal part in refu<ing todismies the schools to allow the wachers to attend the fun ral of one of thei aumb-r, who b.d ben boken down with overwork, néTVOUS By+eM soattered by bor arituous du- tee. Mr. Clarke, he understood, ha leonsulted teacher, who did not wish to attend the fa- ai,and he then refused to allow any to go. ie would vote against him for this. Reterring to the case of the dismissed child, he contented that the wacher in school hours stands in the elvion of a parent, and he a ty seated punish- mnt as a p oper means of coutrol, without which there could be no diseiplias. ‘The ‘Trus- tes bad properly sustained Mr, Clarke in his cin reteremce to that matter.
