The Board of Trustees of Public Schools met last evening at Franklin building—Mr. B. P. Davis in the chair, Mr. Brooks secretary, and all the members present except Messrs. Matthews and Nourse. A communication was received from the | District Commissioners inclosing a petition | from an ex-teacher of the colored schools com- freee of the rule which debars married women from teaching. A communication was received from Prof. J. H. Siddons. in relation to teaching elocution in the schools; also, applications from J. W. Sebastian to do ees work; from Moses R. Thompson, niel Washington and John E. White, for | bitors’ positivus; from Mary McNamara, len M. Armstead, Maggie Lynch, Charlotte E. Ray and Marie E. Despenviile, for teach ers’ positions. The sub-board of the sixth district fis gd in favor of establishing a scheol on Good Hops Hill; adopted. Mr. Curtis presented a communication from the trusiees of the Minor School building, in reference to the damages done to that build- ing bythe late storm, and asking that pro- vision be made as soon as possible for repairs in accordance with the contract made by the District Commissioners. The communication was referred to the committee on buildings, with instructions to report to the board. THE TEXT-BO@K QUESTION. Mr. Lovejoy, from the special committee on the contract for the introduction of Robinson’s mathematics into the schools, to supercede Davies’ series, submitted the following port, signed by Mr. Fairley and himself: ‘our committee, to whom was referred the pro- d contract of Messrs. Ivison, Blakeman, ‘aylor & Co., book publishers, of New York ie with the Commissioners of the District looking to the ratification and completion of the unfinished action of the late Buard of Trus- tees in regard to a change of text-books in the publie schools, report that they have con- sidered the same and recommend that it be re- turned to the Commissioners disapproved; and further, they deem it inexpedient to ad- vise a change of text-books in the public schools before each member of the board has had reasonable time for a careful examination of the whole subject, and especially of the leading works on arithmetic and algedDra. We return with this report communteations re- ceived fromthe respective publishers of th two series, and other exhibits, lists, &e. We file herewith views on the question submitte FATRLEY IMPARTIAL. Mr. Fairley submitted his individual report, that “while favoring a change of th G matical text-books now in use in the schools, he considers it inexpedient and impolitic to make a change at the present time.” MR. LOVEJOY’S REASONS FOR OPPOSING . CHANGE. Mr. Lovejoy submitted an individual oe ie in which he refers to the proceedings of the school board and the District Couimissioners on the subject, and states that au eitort was made to obiain expert testimony on the com parative merits of the two series. He refe io the opinion of Mr. C. B. Young, of the En- erson institute: “That D 48 by far the better book; Ithink you would regret any change: that your teachers would, I know.” He gives reasons for retaining Davies’ series as fellows: Ist. They are fhe oifspring of a prefound and philosophical thinker who dedi- cated his life to these subjects. 24. With good teachers the text book isan adjunct, and as tha '$ aud teachers are familiar with series a great advantage is assured both instructor and pupil by retaining them. id. That it is the solemn duty of all who have the true interests of education at heart to dis- countenance and discourage the manufacture and multiplication of text books inspired by no nianes motive than mercantile rivalry, en- dowed by no loftier spirit than commercial speculation, &c. He gives the prices of the two series from ee Morrison and Bal- lantyne, and deduces from their lists the fol- lo ae That the regular retail price of Da- vies‘ three books are 32 cents less than the regular retail price of Fish’s two-book series, and 48 cents less than the regular price of Fish’s three-book series; that the special re tail prices roposed by Davies’ publishers, in comparison with the special retail prices pro- z Fish’s publishers, are 13 cents less for avies” three books than for Fish’s two, and 23 cents less than for Fish’s three books; that the contract price for Davi Series is 9 cents per price for Fish’s two books, and $1.62 per dozen less than Fish’s three-book series; that in any comparative aspect of the two series, Davies’ books are the cheapest. _ Hesubmits as final reasons for recomm( ing the disapproval of the propuscd chang irst. That the present board stand in a Speer d relation to the Commissioners aud the publfe, and are officially pledged to aid the one and protect the other. Second. That we should not blindly acquiesce in the prelimi- nary action of the late board. however much it commands our respect ana coniidence, be- cause we are responsible for the conclusive action on this subject, and cannot refer our errors to the account of our predecessors. Third. That the changes in text-books have always been and always will be justly unpop- ular, and that, as our sehools are supporied by the publie, we should always respect their pre judices when reasonable. Fourth. That how ever advantageous, in an economical point of view, this chance might be to the pupils this year, presuming that this contract could be legally executed to the beneficial exient its supporters claim, nevertheless a year hence the substitution will be an additional! expense to the parents of the pupils, and the sligntest imposition upon the tax-payer or parent under eons circumstances is wrong and inexcusa- ie. such as price Ce individual A MR. LLOYD'S REASONS FOR A CHANGE. Mr. Lioyd submitted the following minority report: i he undersigned, a member of a svecial committee appointed at the last meeting of this board to consider and reporc whether a coutract or agreement presented, which the old board of school trustees require to be ex- ceuted by the publishing house of Ivison, Blakeman & Co., of New York city, as a con- dition precedent to the introduction of Robin- son’s sericsof mathematics, published by said house, contains the terms and requirements of said old board, respectfully reports that after a careful examination I find that all the requirements of the old ‘d are contained in said contract, and an additional guaranice has been made by said house that the retail prices of Robinson’s arithmetics shall not ex- ceed the following rates: TWO-BOOK SERIES. Robinson’s Fi Complete Book. ar changing book for book. : When it is considered that it is tt unanimous opinion of the present s cers that Kobinson’s series of ina much superior to the series of mathomaties now in the schools, the board, in my judg- ment, should at once take the steps necessary to placing Robinson's mathematics in_ the hands of the pupils at the re ovening of the schools. To this end I ask the adoption of tie following resolution: Aesoived, That the action of the old Board of School Trustees in adopting Robinson's series of mathematics, in lieu of Davies’ series of mathematics, meets with the approval of this board; and that the superintendents are hereby instructed to see that Robinson’s se- ries of mathematics is placed in the liands of the pupils at the re-opening of our schools, or as soon thereafter as practicable.” THE DISCUSSION. The question beins on the acoption of the minority report, Mc. Lloyd addressed the Dee os ene tae question beiag an im- ortant one, which had been well considered yy the late board. He reviewed their action and claimed that this board was the successor of the old board; that the memorandum of contract need not have b2en presented to this body atall. Hereada telegram from six of the principal and the superintendent of the St. uis schools, stating that Robinson’s shorter course has given satisfaction there, and he warmly extolled Robinson’s series as an improvement. Mr. Lovejoy referred to the long fave in which Davies has been in the schools; to its endorsement by Mr. Young and others; to its being the text book at West Point and An- papolis as evidence of the excellence of tie series. He sectey opposed auy change. Mr. Fairley said that he was not in favor of Davies’ series, but he did not considar it politic or expedient to make the change at this time._As for Davies, he never did believe in him. He was a logician before he wasa mathme- tician and he expects every pupil to under- stand his sylogisms, to understand the science before they understand the practice. His series was too complicated. book in the hands of a teacher and a poor one in the hands of a learner. He had inquired of Some of the teachers and they said they could teach arithmetic without the book better than with it, but they are compelled to use i’.

To-day the graduates of the pub’; schools in Columbian college are regarde%, as the best mathematicians, and they wara taught in Davies’, He was Sure that it woud hot be a calamity for Davies’ to rem? in jn tae schools. He was sorry that the old garq had adopted the report, but he had “one what he could, for he eyeenied to the “jd board to al- low the matter to pass over “4 this board. AS for book agents, he was © are that they could point out imperfections ‘ 9’ ‘any good book ; that they could talk a man into regarding the Book of Mormon as better than the Four Gospels. | He was satisfied to tee well enough alone, and | pee that there should be nochange. He heard it Stated that the Distriet would how have to make the contract or stand a sult at law; butas the firm is now furnishing a eat portion of ihe text-books, which the ard could change, he did not think that it Would attempt anyching of the kind. Mr. Brooks remarked that he once heard of a legislature which passed a law prohibiting changes in text books oftener than once in flve years, and the book agents made a raid on the State, the old legislature was voted out, and the law was repealed. He urged the board pot to be influenced by the cry that there | should be no change, and referred to the | change in the geographies which had given rise to many cock-and-bull stories as having been a beueiit tothe schools. After carefully examining this book (Davies) and noticing the difficulties the pupils had with it, he was satis- fied that there Should be a change, and he was glad the old committee had so reported. Mr. Lambert, after referring to the n>2es- sity of a thorough examination, said it was due to the new members that they should have time to examine into the merits or demerits of the two books before calling on them to vote, and they should be careful, toc, how they set a precedent for future action. It had been re- marked that it was an excellent book in the hands of a competent teacher, and he took it that it did not make much d!ference absut the text-book if the teachers were fully com- vetent and attended to their duties. With the long experience of eighteen years that Davies has been in the schools it becomes a serious question, and he urged that a more careful ex- amination of the subject be made an op- ortunity be given the new members to in- ‘orm themselves. He favored no change, at least forthe present, and urged that more time be given on so important a subject. He re. ferred to the action of the publishing house, when they knew the old board was outof ex- istence, and said that he did not believe they contemplated such action as a suit in case the proposition was defeated. a wey bury claimed that the action of the old board was final, that Davies’ was not now among the text books. Mr. Middleton moved to lay Mr. Lloyd’s res- lution on the table ; lost. ‘Mr. Holland said that he had preferred White’s book because, in his opinion, it was the better one, and, referring to the minutes, he claimed that the action of the old board wa | Tegular; that the eommittee did not act hasci- ly, and that the only thing to be done was to carry out the contract. THE CUANGE ADOPTED. Mr. Brooks offered the following, which Mr. Lioyd accepted as a substivute for his report: ‘c-olved, That the action of the late board adopting the Robinson's mathematics be, nd the saine is hereby, approved, and the hon- orable Commissioners be requested t» const mate a contr: in accordance with the terms and provisions adopted by the late board, aud in accordauce with the special rates herewith submitted. Mr. Brooks moved that they recommend to the Commissioners that the time for exehang- ing the books be extended to ninety days and the special rates latest olfered be inserted. Carried.

Mr. Cook styled this as a low, mean business, and claimed that accord- ing to the proof there was no violation of law, for one act does not make a business. de claimed that the law had not been vio'ated, and that in this case it was intendea to extort money from her asa compromise, and then divide the spoils; but she happened to fall in his hands. He felt sure that the court would feel the same indignation in this case as he did, and would dismiss the case. Mr. Wells, forthe government, said that the Warrant charged her with carrying on the busi- ness, and contained the term “at divers other times ;” that the commissioner had under the warrant found the charge sustained, and the papers were ail in form. He claimed that it was immaterial as to whether there was one or more sales, and submitted that the writ should be dismissed. Mr. Cook proposed to prove by witnesses that there was no case. The Court asked if the witnesses for the government were present, and received a nez- ative answer. He then remarked that they should have been present; that if one of them was present and made his statement he could soon ascertain whether or not she should be held. He would order that the defendant be aiscliarved without day. Mr. Wells, (to Mr. Camp, the Clerk.)—Mr. Clerk, enter an appeal. The Court.—No, you don’t.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AND ARSON.—Another attempt was made at 31 o'clock this morning by persons unknown, to enter the oilice of the ecropolitan Railroad company, on es Street. The thieves first stufleda lot of com bustible material, saturated with coal oil, in “the window where the drivers pass in their money. Then they attempted to open a door with a heavy railroad spike, but were discov- ered and frightened off by the watchman. The latter fired four shots at the burglars, but with no effect. DROWNED.—A colored boy named George Plummer, aged 14 years, son of the late Jesse Watkins,and stepson of John H. Plummer, living at Roslyn, Va., was drowned yesterday afternoon while bathing in the Alexandria canal. The body was recovered and the cor- oner notified. The verdict at the inquest this morning was rendered in accordance with the facts. ACCIDENT.—Eugene Dyer, aged 10 years, re- siding at 82 Ist street, fell from a grape vine yesterday and broke his right arm. PERSONAL.—Mr. Wm. H. Tenney and daugh- ter arrived home last night from an extended tour in New England. ....Rev. A. R. Stuart, rector of Christ church, and Mr. G. T. Dunlop left this morning for Cape May. THE CANAL.—The work at the break on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, near the Four Locks, was somewhat retarded by the heavy rains of Saturday and Sunday last. Superin- tendent Sianhope is pushing the repairs, how- ever, and hopes to have them sufficiently c leted for the resumption of navigation by ‘riday next. . MEKCHANTS’ EXCHANGE.—The offerings on ‘change this morning amounted to 10.1: els of wheat, with sales as follows: 52 wheat at $1.0144 per bushel; 6,24) do. at $1 268 do. at $1,038; 1,079 do. at ‘$1.04; 535 do. al $1.05, and 640 do. at $1.0534.

Waters; boat Wheeler & Barron, with 890 bushels of wheat to H. M. Talbott. OTHERS aS DEEP IN THE MtRz.—Kimpton has intimated to the local officials that the case ee: him was a persecution, seeing that others were as deep in the mire as he. Kimpton seems to have a wholesome dread of returning to South Carolina, He says the slightest offence there brings a term at the penitentiary, and the prisons in that state are the abomination of abominations, squalid in the extreme, and should he ever get into one he’d die in six months. He thinks our north- ern jails attractive resorts compared to south- ern prisons.—[ Boston Herald. _ THERE Was A “CONSOLATION RACE” for the single seullers at Barre, Ont., yesterday.
