This matter he had referred to the Commissioners, and had received a letter from the Commissioners in reply. This letter, which the secretary read to the board, stated that the Commissioners were surprised to find that a cor pupils, children of non-resident parents, at- tended the public schools here, a number suffi- cient to fill about six schools, thus requiring about six teachers, and depriving the resident pupils of room which was needed. The Com- missioners were convinced that children of Parents who resided out of the District were not entitled to such privilege. The question was how this condition of things could be remedied. As the non-residents have made their arrange- ments for the winter, the Commissioners did not at this time desire to deal harshly with thought that the on some terms to or until Congress should make some special pro- The Commissioners asked the trustees to ndvise them as to what the terms should be, FROM THE COMMISSIONERS, y thep read the following letter he board under date of Decem- 30, 1885, by the secretary of the board of District Commissioners: utlemen: The letter of your secretary bear- | cember 224, 1885, transinitting a chedule of salaries of teachers fixed by the school trustees for the year to be in the main equitaple and Ive, and requesting the Commission- of Columbia to ask Congress to appropriate the sum of $8,000. to meet a de- in the amount appropriated for those nd duly considered, a letter was ad= ¥aum, president, the public schools of iderable number of rivilege should @ agreed Upon, addressed to t ers of the Distric. has been recetve On the Sth of October, 188: dressed to Mr. W.

Under their powers as defined by that btter they could not nominate or assign teichers, He thought they should fina out what ihe law seribed as to who should ascertain te fitness of teachers. If that was not their fuiction they should adjourn sine die, or adjourt until they could have a conference with tie Commis- stoners, and ascertain what their sowers were. He thought the practical way war to suspend ail legislation until they knew whit they could legally act upon. “It isa mere fave,” sud Mr. Smith, “a mere burlesque to sez hee discussing reports and resolutions, if they hal no power to act, Itis mere nousense, gentlomen, and I am hot golng to be a party to it, Personally, so iar as my position on the board is concened, I do not caren snap of my flogers, but dont let us have afarce.

As tcthe1 ng let- ter from the Commissioners it meely set forth what the Commissioncrs proposed to doin the future and not what they had dine.

He Was surprised at the extent of it. it wiped out all the lezal powers of the boardind reduced them toa mere board of vistors. He thonght it wrong In policy as well as wrongin law.

OPINIONS ON THE LAW. Mr. Birney thought that while they should treat the Commissioners with due courtesy, they should at the same time maintain their own rights and powers, The letter, however, merely udvised the bourd of what the Commis: sloners proposed to do. He thougit It due to the Commissioners to suspend all aciion cover ing points which the Commissioner touched upon in their letter, but he did_not think the Commissioners intended to revoke what the | bourd had done, and the report of the teachers’ | committee related to what Lad been done, Mi.

He thought the Commissioners had treated them politel that they should conter with the Com ers. He did the Commissioners could be maintained tor one minute in face of the powers conferred upon the trustees by law. He did not propose to do anything disconrteous to the Commissioners, Unt to go on and affirm aets already done.

An aye and no vote was called for, but before it was taken Mr. Lovejoy said he was satisfied that the Commissioners were wrong in point of law in the position they had taken. If they were right the board had no authority to jo any act covered by the prohibitions of this letter. If the power of appolnting supervising principals, teachers and janitors was taken ‘away, were not all powers taken away from them’except the powers of visitation? If the motion was put in this form, “Is it the opinion of the board that the ition of the Commis- stoners fs legal or not?” he would vote that it ‘was not a legal one. He thought that, belleviny it not to be legal, they should go on with all their business, If, it was proposed merely to acton this matter he woul cuanee and vote to adjourn, He did not believe the Commissioners powers from the board. his mind ud the authority vo take these Mr. Smith said he would make a motion that in the view of the board that the letter ofthe Commissioners was not Well founded in law, but in courtesy to the Commissioners the board tuke a recess to confer upon the matter.

In calling the meeting to order Mr. Justice Miller briefly explained its purpose, and took occasion to remind those present ‘that the weather outside was an appeal to them to look out for the poor boys who,even In following their avocation, were subject to the cruelty of the nipping frost. He then introduced Mr. Charles L, Brace, secretary of the Children’s’ Ald so- clety or New York, who has for thirty years been enguged In reclaiming young castaways in the great empiregfity, and giviog a turn to the energy of the street arab that would lead them toa successful life. ME, BRACE'S ADDRESS. Mr. Brace safd that with his thirty years’ ex- perience with charities he had found that the least satisfactory was almsgiving. It was pouring out efforts without results, Charity that does not heip to strengthen the character isnot good. Pauperdom Is the lowest depths; it saps out all manhood and character, The purpose of this association is to help the boys to become honest, self-supporting —hard- working men. He gave a brief his- tory of the work in New York, from its beginning 30 years The city was then badly governed, full of immigrants, the poor crowded together, and juvenile crimes were numerous. Over six thousand female vagrants were arrested In a single year, and there were between ten thousand and fifteen thousand homeless children in New York elty. In the course of their charity work they ran across that bit or yamanity, the newsboy. The news- boy, in the fungnage of Uncle Remus ous creatur’.” “He is a mixture ofboy and man. He will listen at one moment to words of sympathy with eyes full of tears, and a heart tender with sympathy, and the next moment will chaff the speaker. He is kind and sympathetic, always ready to assist an Unfortunate associate. But when grown up, {Che is not taken in charge, he de- velops into a leader of the worst elements—is always ready to take the head and lead a raid gu private property, of do any other daring and disreputable .’ He is alert and quick witted and contains in him the dynamite, which, if allowed to take its own way, will some ‘day explode, to the t danger of society, The newsboy, while he is a newsboy— has noi. grown into something else—uppeals to pur sympathy most strongly. They are an in- dependent set of little fellows, who are strug- git ig mantully for aliving. In going among Them we think of the struggles they have to go through. When asked where thelr homes a the most frequent reply is, “Don't live nowhere. A NEWSHOYS' LODGING HOUSE. The first thing for the benefit of these boys, he said, was to provide shelter for them. This | they did in the form of @ newsboys’ lodging- house, At first the boys were suspicious. They are not in the habit of looking for good inten- tions in anybody, and they took the lodging- house for a Sunday school dodge, or a trap for the house of correction, ‘When they found it was neither they reckoned up the amount of good they got for their money—they had to pay a trifling sum for their lodging—and came to the conclusion that they were getting @ pretty good thing—they were satisfled with it, and from thence forward the Institution grew, until now it is a perfect organ- ization, which ‘assists those boys to become honest, industrious men, when they outcrow the néwsboys’ profession, They bave uight schools and industrial schools, and saving banks, and many thousand boys are traus- planted into the country and elsewhere, and many have become men of means. They generally do better at first, he sald, than children who are more carefully raised. “They earn money earlier in life. MR. BRACES ADVICE. The advice the speaker gave to the people of Washington In starting a newsboy’s lodging- house was to put itin the hands of a good su- perintendent—a man who could be jolly and Jorebearing, and would deal with the boys in a | down-right honest and straight manner. The | want everything plain and on the square. | bos ‘There must not be too much show of religious form. The boys don’t understand nor believe In professions. Acts alone appeal to them. ‘Thelr teachers must be laymen rather than clergy. They understood them best. Another thing, the stiecess of the work Was not to be shown by the number of boys lodged, but the number who were placed beyond the of such lodging, Again, there must be no smell ‘of poverty about the place. He advised that the newsBovs of Washington be transplanted into Virginia. ‘When Mr. Brace had completed his address the company was entertained with a duet by the Misses Harvey, who sang several times during the eveniug, interspersing musle with the addresses. Another musical feature was ® seep solo by Mr. Frank Smith, of the Marine ni ‘MR. EATON’S ADDRESS, ‘Mr, Dorman B. Eaton was then introduced. He sald that the primary atm of the, society ‘was to look after the newsboys, but he trusted that Its work would be broader and more com- prehensive, and that it would take charge of all the wretched classes, It should be the Wash- ington Children’s Ald society, authorized by Congress, Nothing less than tat would meet the exigenciesof the case. He held that the peremptory need in Washi is an exten- sion ofthe school system at public expense. ‘The thousands of colored and white children should be tak pig r by Congress, The public feman: ‘The greater the ignorance the greater is the werty and crime, and the more imperative | Stel @ duty of Congress to establish classes.
