The president gave his experience in reference to the cases of cru- = to animals which had come under his obser- , and stated his views in regard to making arrests. Every member prosecuting should be carerul to con=ider all of the circumstances, and should never arrest without having a clear case of cruelty. It was advisable to practice moral saasion in many cases. Each member should im any event endeavor to exercise good judg- ment in making arrests.

Mr. King stated that he had visited Buzzard’s Point, where he found about one hundred chil- dren not attending school. They were cut off from the city by aswamp, and he thought it best to establish a school in a frame church on the point, but the building was in a dilapidated condition, and he mentioned to the leading men of the church that if they would raise about £200 towards repairing tie church the schoo! board would advance them some rent to help putting it in order, The report was accepted, and it was decided to establish a school there. It was also decided to establish a school on Ist street east, between 2d and U south, Capitol Hill Mr. Syphax presented applications of Mary J. Perry and Carrie A. Thomas fer positions as teachers; referred. PHAX AND THE PRERDMEN’S BANK. Mr. Syphax, the treasurer, presented his ac- counts and pay-rolls, with the vouchers there- for; which Mr. King proceeded to examine care- fully. The pay-rol! not having been added up Mr. King thought it best to have it footed? up so as they might see at a glance what the expenses were, and how to estimate for the future. A NICE THING POR THE BANK. Mr. King inquired of Mr. Syphax, the treasn- rer, what disposition he had made of the corpo- ration bonds. Mr. Syphax replied that he had borrowed 35,000 from the Freedmen’s Saving Bauk by depositing the bonds, and was paying therefor 10 per cent. interest. Mr. King thought this a very high rate ot interest, and inquired ot the treasurer it he had deposited the £5,000 in the First National Bank. Mr. Syphax replied that he had net, but had drawn $2,000 and left the other $3,000 in the Freedmen’s Bank, Mr King thought it a very wrong thing to leave that money with the bank from which it had been borrowed, as the bank could have the use of it for weeks, and at the same time receive trom the school board 10 per cent. interest on it, besides having the use of the money. He thought more liberal arrangements might have been made with other banks. Mr. Syphax said he had applied to several other banks, but had been refused. Mr. King desired to pay the teachers promptly, but he was opposed to these exorbitant rates of interest, and believed the money could be obtained at fess interest. The accounts of the treasurer were found to be cor- rectand approved. The pay of Horace W. Parke, assiftant su. perintendent, was increased to 3 per month, on motion of Mr. Wermley. He also reported that be accepted bids ot A. P. Clarke and King to furnish coal, at $7.50 per ton. and Wm. Becket to furnish wood at $6 per cord. WHAT SUPERINTENDENT CATTO HAS TO SAY. ‘The superintendent, Mr. Catto, read a lengthy report in favor of grading and classifying the schools, prescribing studies, 4c. He pro- poses to divide the schools into primary, inter- mediate, and grammar, with a high school, to be composed of ‘gee from the grammar schools. In his report the superintendent said he bad been considerably embarrassed in the prepara- tion thereof by the absence of every t from the superintendent's office, and the posses sion of the trustees, that could give any idea of the present condition, needs or supplies that the schools require. MR. KING THINKS CATTO SHOWS DAD TASTE. ‘The report having been read, Mr. King said he was favorably impressed with some of the features thereof, but would like to have time to consider it morefully. He, however, thought it bad taste in the present superintendent to make insinuations in regard to his predecessor in office (Mr. Cook) as many of the schools had un- til recently been under the control of various benevolent societies, and it was impossible to grade and classity them. MR. SYPHAX STANDS Mr. Syphax thought the super stating the truth in his report, and he was pre- pared to vote for its adoption immediately. ME. WORMLEY STANDS BY SYPHAX Mr. Wormley was prepared to vote with Mr. Syph ax. “Mr. King thought the main features of the re- port as to grading the schools were good and the community would sustain them. A MODEST CATTO—PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SCHOOL MATTERS. Mr. Catto did not ask to be sustained by many of this community, as they knew nothing about school matters, and did not understand things. MR. KING SAYS A WORD POR THE LENIGHTED PROPLE. Mr. King enggested that the board and its officers were but the servants of the people, and he for one desired to be sustained by the com munity. He was put there as trustee to carry out the wishes of the people, and intended to £0. Mr. Syphax confessed that le was unable to give apy information about schools, ashe did not possess any, not having any reports to read. He spoke of Teport of Mr. Newton, issued some (ime since, when that gentleman was su- perintendent, and thought it an able one. Mr. King said he had bard work to get Mr, Newton's report published, as the publication had been op] by Mr. Syphax.
