A meet of the teachers of the public schools was held this morning at the Miller school building, on H street, between 6th and 7th streets, and there was a full attendance of the teachers of the primary and secondary schools. Mr. Kichards, the Superintendent, introduced Professor Jerome Allen, author of “Allen's new em of Map Drawing,” and editor of the Iowa pn of Education,whe delivered a very inter- esting lecture on map drawing, illustrating his system by diagrams. He was ‘listened to with much interest, his method showing many new x ye tho adeen Ws shingto thelr com tf of Washington for their po saying that in many respects they were the moidel sec! of the country.

He said he hoped soon tw see schools of Washington the model schools in all respects. Congress had shown a disposition to them so, this being the point of visitation from al! sections of the country.

He said judgment and diseretio should be exercised according to the character of the pupil in administering all rules of gov- ernment. Common sense would enable us to study the character of individuals and apply our accordingly. He then i!lustrated with words written upon the blackboard some im- portant suggestions to the teachers and the mode to be adopted in teaching youth; among other things, that twenty minutes time was enough to engage the attention of the pupil upon a given subject, after which some other exercises should be introduced, such ashinging @ verse or gymnastic exercises. After the con- elvsion of Mr. Richards remarks the meeting adjourned. —_+—__ Tur Wasminctox AXD GEORGETOwS Mall- Roap Comrany.—At the meeting of the Direc- tors of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company on Wednesday evening, when the new Board organized, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. 5.

JOINT MEETING OF SCHOOL AUTHORITIES. The Public Schools of the District Cities and the Ceunty, and the Colored Schools sented —A Committee to ask Aid of Congress—Consolidation of the Schools Discussed. A joint meeting of the school authorities of the District of Columbia was held last night at the rooms of the Board of Trustees of the Pub- lic Schoo!s of Washington, for conference in relation to asking aid from Congress. There were present Z. Richards, Superintendent of the Public Schools of Washington, and Messrs- Newton and McLellan, of the Washington Board of Trustees of Public Schools; Messrs. Hyde, Dunlop, and Libbey, of the Georgetown Schoo! Board: Messrs, Syphax and Jones, of the Colored School Trustees; Messrs. Rewland and Gardener, of the Levy Court, and Mr. Johnson, School Conmemeons of the county. esl ir. was upon to preside, Mr. Newton was choseh Secretar” The Chairman called upon Mr. Newton to fate the specific objects of the meeting, which he did. se in this Distriet required assistance from Congress to carry them on, and while that body had given grants of Lands to all of the States and most of the Territories, he could see no reason why they should withhold aid from this District. “He ‘sn; that a committee be appointed to prepare a statement of the disabilities which we are laboring under, to be submitted to Congress. He closed by in- viting an expression of opinion of those present on these matters. Dr. J. A. Rowland asked whether a change of the school system would be asked of Congres, or pecuniary aid merely; saying that unlexs im- mediate aid was granted the county schools must close, and that, so far as the county was concerned, they were doing as weil a3 they could do with their means. If a grant of land Was not made, then a direct appropriation was, he thought, clearly due them. Su tendent ‘richards said that this matter had been before Congress before, and all will remember that encouragement had been given them, but that body asked for statistical in- formation with reference to the schools of this District. This information had been collected, covering all the facts in connection with the subject, more than two years ago, but had never been png before Congress, as should have been dene. We should not blame Congress for not acting in this matter, when it had mot been presented with the information asked for. . Richards then read trom his report al Inded to, addressed to Hon. $. M. Arnell, chi man of the Committee on Education and Labor in the House of Kepresentatives, in reply to a letter from that committee asking information concerning the public schools of the District. In answer to the question of how many children there are in the District entitled to seats and gitcation in the public schools of the District, Mr. RK. says that in 1867, when the census was taken, the whole number of children between the ages of 6 and 18 years was: Washington. District. 9.396 93 9,827 3,798 4,603 eu 33,115 In 1867 there were 7,046 children attending school in Washington, and 8,420 in the whole District. In 1867 the number of children of both sexes who attended private schools was 4,949. For the current year careful observation shows that they may be estimated at 334 per cent. more than the above figures. The present state of public and private schools is estimated as fol- lows :—White males and females in Washington in public schools. 6,175; in the whole District, 7.132; colored in Washington, 3,229, and in th: whole District, 4,095; number of children in p yate schools in Washington, 6,598; in the District, Tita children Sttend nhoolsin Washingto ton, 4“, el ren sel a, and 18,622 in the whole District. In answer to an inquiry as to the principal ‘auses of non-attel at schools, Mr. K. gives the want of stitable accommodations, want of funds, the practice of taking children from scheol as soon as they are able to go to work, and a want of proper appreciation of the value of education. Mr. Richards says the most immediate educa- tional needs of District are : Ist, A more efficient school law, which will bring the whole District under a general superintendent, with a Boardof Education, which shall have the au- —7 to decide how much money should be raised for sbhool purposes, how it should be spent, and how the schools should be controlled. 2d. The schools ought to receive Congressional aid in view of the fact that more than one-half of the children in the public schools belong to families connected in some way with some branch of the Government, and that their parents, as a general rule, pay no taxes. Mr. Syphax st: he was not aware that such action had been taken, but he could speak for the colored schools that they were mach in needofaid. They had got much help from the North that had benefitted them greatly. He ad- vo ated the appointment of a committee to go betore Congress and lay the facts before that body. He said there were very many colored ren attending the schools whose parents no taxes for school purposes, and who ld not pay taxes. He believed Congress would aid them. Mr. A.B. Jobnson said the county was di- vided into seven districts. His was the seventh istrict. Init were tive colored and three chools accommodated about two-thirds of the children of a school-going ag In mest of these districts there were more schol- ars than seatsor desks. What they needed in the county was more school houses. He be- lieved what was true of his own district was true also of themall. They were now entirely out of funds, and he saw no way to keep up the schools unless steps were taken to replenish the funds. There were many persons who had means, but were not disposed to encourage the schools by an increase of taxes. As a general thing, the most of the school money was raised from the white citizens, and by far the largest number of children the benefits of the schools — ae ate whole matter Cy rought properly before Congress, and he no doubt ‘aid would be forthcoming. Superintenent Richards stated what Mr. Johnson had said in reference to the county was equally true of the city in regard to the children ss aon the Georgetown would b r. Dunlop said that would be very glad to unite with the others in this matter, although they were not so badly off as their neighbors, judging from the remarks of gentle- = here. As tothe pty se of the schools, they were not prepared to take any action, as they had no instructions on that mations ir. Jones, from the Colored Schools, said that he favored asking help of C ‘that they (the Colored School Trustees) had experienced a good deal of trouble in getting the money justly due them from Washington, but that they «1 ‘no trouble from Georgetown—they paid Bomptly. Mr. Libby stated that in Georgetowh they had not halt scheo!s enough nor school money to sat- <= the demands. sto what had been said in reference to consolidation he did not come here to discuss that matter; but he understood the meeting was for the specific purpose of conter- ring together on the subject of recuperating the — fund for the entire District, and for no r. Mr. Syphax said that so far as the consolida- tion of the schools are concerned, it should be left to Congress. What could be effeeted here La discussion amounted to no’ ; All they uld do was to take measures to obtain an a) ‘ion for the sup} of thetpublic schools. r. Rowland said that they must convince Congress that the means they might see tit to give to this District would be likely to be judi- ves iy expended for both colored and white sel Mr. Syphax said what we wanted was immedi- ate relief; if Congress renders any help, it would do so alike to all, white and black. Mr. Libby said it would be preferable to have a lond grant, as by that means it would consti- tute a permanent fund.

Mr. Thomas Kirby was called to the chair, and E. Seanlon acted as secretary. Mr. Wali ad- dressed the meeting, denouncing the present administration of city affairs; and in the course of his remazks charged that Mayor Bowen had said toa delegation of Irishmen who waited on him previous to his election thatf elected he would have all Corporation work one by the day. Mr John Hickey said that he was one of the delegates alluded to, and that the Mayor had Sse hewene do all in his power to that end. Mr. Wall asked if he had done so. Mr. M. Borehy said if it could be shown that the Mayor bad ever vetoed a bill to grade and gravel a street by day's work, it would be time cnough to find faa! Mr. Wall conclu: saving that he intended to do all in his power to defeat Mayor Bowen. Mr. Murphy followed Mr. W. denying the charges made against the Mayor, defending him, urging that he was the true friend of the workingmen, and a vote of thanks to Mr. Morphy was passed. ?.

They were conveyed to the General Hospital and Asylum where they will temporary provided for. This woman stated that she was told that by coming to this city the Government would give her gold and provide a home for her here. Scrrosep SToLeN Covpons.—Yesterday, a colored boy, about seventeen years of age, pre- sented to the interest teller at the United States Treasury, twenty-two coupons of a $1,000 bond, on which he demanded payment. The teller handed them to one of the clerks for reference to the cashier, when the boy immediately left the building by the main entrance.

The Rey. Mr. Hoff, of Baltimore county, and formerly Rector of Christ Church, assisted Rev. Mr. Williams, the present Rector,’ in the services. Mr. Hoif, speaking from an acquantance of 30 years, paid a feeling tribute to the memory of the departed, in which he portrayed his many virtues, and awelt especially upon his Christian character. “Th following gentlemen acted as pall beare W.

Saez or WHEAT.—Some idea of the state of the wheat market can be formed from the fact that between three and five hundred bushels of Loudon county wheat (from good to prime) changed hands this morning, at $1.22: vices from Alexandria state that every bushel of wheat in store in that city was yesterday sold for Richmond orders.

Dr. Fisher, in charge of the institution admits the fact. He says ‘The treatment nor any other thing in existence will cure a man from drinking he has a will to do it, and all we can do will avail but little unless a man is bound to stop. Those who come to the Asylum are mostly far gone, and it is an imy ibility to eradicate en- irely their passion for strong drink. In all of my experience I have known but few who were permanently cured. By remaining three or six months here they get their héalth restored, but in tive cases out of ten after leaving the gradually get back to their old ways, and_ so of them return to us for treatment.” There are between eighty and ninety patients in the institution at present, twenty of whom are females. The fitst-class boarders pay #10 a week and have a table by themselves. The secend-class pay $5 per week, and eat by them- selves. The third-class pay $2.50 per week, and dine apart, but otherwise they all have the same the privile; The failure ‘is of course to be attributed to the defects of the system, and not to any anagement on the part of the ofii- cers of the Asylum. sooo. BEAUTIFUL INctPENT.—In one of the schools there is a young girl who is a cripple. It is the custom of the teacher to allow her, when the scholars are dismissed, always to pass out first, in order that she may escape from the confusion attendant upon dismissal of so many children. On Monday last, when the alarm of fire was sounded, all the school rooms were at once emptied of their contents. While in all of them they rushed out in dismay and fright, in some cases leaving everything behind, in the one where the lame child wasthere perfect quietness and order. All thescholars, nowithstan: the noise and the apparent danger, remaind quietly in their seats till their lame companion had got- ten safely out, and was secure from the rush, when they with a bound cleared the room: ‘They thought of her safety before their own; neither fright nor selfishness induced them to provide for themsclves until they saw her secure from peril.
