To the President and Members the Alnmnl
Gen'lemen : The nnderslnned, a .om in It toe appointed
at the lam animal weetlna ot the Alumni, for the pur
pose of protto'tirig the inure sot the Central Iiitih
fchool from t' e attack of Its foot, btg leave to sub
Dilt the fo. lowing report:
Kor man years It has been tiie custom of the ene
mies of the Institution to make, in our City Councils,
the same stereotyped tnoliun to strike out tie necessary
appropriation for the continuance of the school
Heretofore the Tote in favor of such an action has
been so slight as to pass nnnot'ced, or at least uu
leu red. lu January Inst, however, when the usual
routine was enacted, both the ad von-tea and opponents
of tl:e measure were astonished to Hnd that 18 out of 41
members of the Common Conncil were Id faror of the
abolition of the school. Hurt lour (4) of the gentlemen
changed their thick, the clause v. mild hare been ex
pniiRtd. aud Its tei'tser.lou rendered a matter of diffi
culty, If not impossibility,
- In view of the e facts, yonr cvrtmlttee deem that
the time baa arrived wbru It behooves every friend of
the Central Hish Pnhool, exp i ly those who can
term her their alma mnrr, to t active step to pro
lert her fiem tiie hImki which. throncli iKnorance
and blxotrt . have srsnnied the m st formidable pro
ronkns. With a view to s,cc. iplinhlng the end f.T

burins; the debate in the Onr Hon Council certain
charges viere made, of which, hav ins; been extensively
circulated throiiKh theiuediiini ol the prois, it Is neces
sary some rotlce be tnken. It H ni't our Intention to con
trovi rt tlieniBiif ol j-ctlons r in d by t'i misinf ,rmed,
the very statement of them being a sullioieot refuta
tion; bn there wore three amertions made, which
nearly fffect our honor as foiunr pnpiis of the school.
It was said that seventy per cent, of the graduates 'were
drum s on the community." It w- declared that "few,
if any, of the graduates were qualified for teachers."
It was ann nnced that the con mon school system hal
been so improved that the IJirh i-nliool was filled with
rich men's sons to the detriment ol the work lug classes,
and Its original design thus frustrated. To those we
would reply. First, that to assert that seventy out of
every one hnndnd members of this Alumni are
"drones" Is not to prove its truth. We appeal to the
r ecru and not to the bia-sed ateertiouso! toes of 'be
Institutions. In the war which bus jjst closed, we Hnd
thai the graduates of the Hiri School in the marine
corps, as otllcers. numbered teuly-two; in the reiiu
lur navy seventy-six, aud in the army thiee huudred
and sixty-tour, a large proportion of whom hold rank
as field officers. The data thus civan does not include
the militia, and Is compiled fi 'in personal observa
tion , there being some five hnu Ired more names which
will be added to the roll of honor in the course of a few
weeks.
That the leading business nien of onr city do not
view the holders ol hor diploma -s ''drones" is shown
Ly the fact that there are btaniling orders from many
of our mercai tile honees for ay young man who has
passed throw, h her course of stilly, and that the fact
that an aspirant for a position is a graduate is. in
many cases, a snflicini.t giiamntue for a successful
application. We lind her children occupying the pul
pit, speaking at the bar, he:ling the sick, sitting m
the editorial chair, wieldii.g the author's pen, cashiug
their thousands an bankers navigating the globe witu
tbeir ships, (lesiirniug as draughtsmen, and executing
as mechanics. The charge that the whole course of
study tit- only lor a profetsi, nil life is controverted
by tte testimony of the mvohiuistg of onr own and sis
ter cities, tor almos'. every woik.hop has its repre
sentatives of High School eduottion. In all of the
buty walks of active life we it .d men who hail her as
their almamattr asting their p'trt as good citizens,
aud proving the falsity of the charge of drones, which
is as uncharitable as it Is untrue.
The second accusation is eisily answerei. There
re twenty-hix grammar schools in our city; of these,
thirteen have for their ptiucipil i formor pupils of the
High School; while the report of IheB .ardof Control
lor 1SC4 shows that sixty ope out of ninety-six appli
cants to whom were granted certificates of fitness to
act as teachers were graduatts; while in November,
lr66, every male to whom such a certificate was given
was a member ef this Alumui. Wnat farther proof is
necessary to show the utter la'fity of such a chargef
The last complaint la ra her a recommendation. We
are at a loss to perceive how it is incompatible with
onr common school system for the son of the man who
pays the largest taxes to enter into einal competition
with the poorest hoy in the community. That the goal
is of such interest that they all euter the lists to reach
it, is not detrimental to tbe system. If the poor boy
has more brains be will out trip the richer. In the
con est is found tbe purest essence of democracy, aud
tha' both wealthy ana indigent strive to win the re
ward is only anotner argument in favor of tbeexoel
lency of the prize for which so many are anxionsly
striving. We, therefore, hold that the arguments of
the opponents of th school are only the pretext and
not toe cause of their hostility, which, we fear, lie
rather In prejudice than in their leason.
Your committee cannot be blind to the fact that the
synem is tar from perlect, that there are many faults
that reed correction many evils for which there should
be a remedy ; yet we hold that the evils can be reformed
by proper action of the Board of Control, and without
the abolition ot tbe Institntion lleformation Is needed
in the system, aud reformation will not Injure the
Board itself. It is rather through tbe neglect of the
gentlt men whose duty it was to direct the plan of edu
cation in the right channel, than oeause of any radical
defect In the school Itself
While we would not advice the Alumni to precipitate
an issue where none exists, vet at the sametiuiowa
would suggest that we assume such an attitude as will
show that we do not fear, or desire to avoid both meet
ing and Bottling the Question whenever our opponents
nm; compel us to to ao. This body holds in its hands
an immense political power; and while wa do not
eonu-el its use at the present time, yet we do not hesi
tat to assert that it is a duty we owe. as citizens and
voters, to yield our suffrage and support only to those
bore viows are not diametrically opposed to wnat we
esteem toe cause of reason aud education.

Whereas, The attacks on the Central Bigb School of
Philadelphia have assumed a proportion Dangerous to
tbe existence ol the institution; aud whereas it is a duty
which those who have received au education from her
owe it to their fellow citizens to tesi ify to the condition
of that school, Viih the Internal working of which wo,
of all others, are best aouuaiiited; therefore,
ttesotved, That we, the Alumni of tbe Central High
School , do unanimously declare, as our slnoere oonvio

berry submitted an additional resolution to appoint
a committee ot tnree to inquire it legislation cau.
not be obtained to raise the standard of the school
L that of other colleges in the land.
Mr. Asbmeud ottered an amendatory resolution
to appoint a committee to peiiiion the Legislature
tn urocure the abolition of tiie Board ot School
Control, as now constituted, and to secure the ap.
nnintment of a new Board In tbe same manner as
the Board of Health and the Guardians of the
Poor are now appointed. He made some very per.
aonal remarks.
Mr. Thomas May Pierce sharply called him to
order, and said that the Alumni did not meet to
assail the character of publio men in authority,
Mr. John 1. Watson said it was fortunate that
the point of order waa made, and that the Alnmnl
had returned .to the starting point, and that is the
renort which was submitted to the meeting, and
which would prove eminently successful if
nreoented without being embarrassed by any
aide action. That Is a broad and simple platform
twin which to go before the people. The ones.
tion now before the Alnmui is not whether tbe
members of the educational hoard are political
peculators there aie good men in those bodies
and there are bad roan but tbe question for
tbe Alnmnl to ask of the people la that the power
.,,ir.tri tn the bands ot there boards Is being
fierverted and need for the destruction ot onr pub.
ic school system.
TAr inn itnreTs Indorsed the remarks ot Mr.
'Watson, and be moved that the President ot the
Alnmui be aulhorlaed, at the ivquealol the mem.
bers ot the Committee on the Deleuceof the School,
to increase the number of the comiuiiiea to miruwu
Tin motion of Mr. Koger wu adopted. V
The first and seoond reso'u jun were adopted
without debate.
Mr. Tierce moved to lay the third resolution on
tbe labia.
The motion was lost.
Mr. Fierce said It was but tbe accident of the
day that Philadelphia has good judges, and simi
lar accident that she has bad controllers. The
two officers are elected by the people. .They ema
nate from the same source, and wa are Jamas
likely to get good controllers as we are to get good
judges. If the Board of School Control remain In
tbe power of the people, the Alnmnl of tbe High
School can exercise a great and a good Influence
upon the selection of controllers; but place the
power of appointment In the bands of tbe Jidges,
and the chance of getting good officers resia only
with the judiciary, which can only be changed In
ten years.
Mr. Oolesberry said that the Directors of the
public schools, in all the wards of the city, with
two exceptions, the Fourth and Seventeenth, are
men ot honor and Intelligence. The enemies of tha
High School are not outride of the school but In it,
and If the professors of the High School were men
of classical attninmenta, the standard of scholastic
ability would be raised lnr beyond the present
range. The evil in the High School system Is the
appointment of fledgeling graduates to principal'
chairs in the Institution, graduates who are no
more to be compared to classical scholars than a
lamp-poet is to a broomstick.
Then let the conrse of Instruction be varied. Let
French be abolished; it is only necessary to those
who go to dancing school or seek nonsense in the
foyer of tbe Academy of Mnelc. Let tbe whole
course be Latin and Greek, subdivided into law
be thoroughly Instructed in that branch, and
and physic those who are students ot law to
those also who are students of medicine to be
tlio-oughly instructed in physics. In conneotion
with both these branches the professions of morals
und ethics, and belles letters, higher mathematics,
and astronomy, could be very easily arranged. By
such a conrse tbe High School could graduate men
capable of sustaining the reputation of a Litin
diploma, capable of standing without a bluah be
for an alumnus of any college In our country.
The refolution wa adopted. The closiug reso
lution and the preamble was also adopted.
The amendments were all tabled.

Additional Facts. The account we .vesierdny
published of the murder in Lower Merlon was
Bubptautially correct iu all its details. A lew
additional tacts have transpired since.
Dr. Levering resided near Rosemont Station,
closei to the dividing line ot Delaware and Mont-g-omery
counties, about nine miles Irom this city.
It seems that the Doctor, on bis return from a
prot'eFBional visit at seven o'clock, Tuesday evon
incr, pawed hit house and proceeded to his barn
with his horse and wasou. His wile sent a
person with a lantern to enable him to sec how
to put up the horse, and the messenger fuunJ
the oead body ol the Doctor lying underneath
tne bone. The wife heard the report ot a gun,
but Euppopcd some one was phooticg musk-rats
in the neighborhood, and paid no more attention
to it. Little did she aud her lour children
think that that shot sent her husband's soul into
eternity, and terrible was her anguish when the
horrible tact was communicated to her.
Th news soon ppread, and horsemen scoured
the country u all directions in search of the
assassin, lesterday the Coroner ot the county
commenced an investigation. It was ascertained
tbat a bullet and lour buckshot had penetrated
the body, and that the assassin discharged the
murderous weapon ne used irom an augie ol
the barn, not ten feet distant from where the
Doctor was taking the horse from the wagon.
A number of prominent citizens, together with
the authorities, communicated with Chief De
tective Franklin, ot this city: and, as the scene
of' the murder is but lour nil Irs Irom the line ot
this county, that official repaired thither, and is
engaged in working np the cise. During the
day a large concourse of citizens visited the
place, and as yet the cause of the shooting
iTiiuuufl a mystery.
nr. Levering was born m the neichbornooa,
and was a kind-heerted, pleasant, genial gentle
man, and not at all the kind of man who would
have enemies to seek such revenge. This family
has been singularly altiicted within a thort time,
Mrs. Levering having lost tnree children, a
sitter, mother, and husband, within two years.
lint, one ol the children died suddenly ot
spotted fever, then a second was taken with the
disease, and also died after lingering a short
time. .Not long alter, a Drotner oi Dr. Levering
died, and then a third one of the children was
taken sick a tew weeks ago witn scarlet fever.
While this child was at the point of death, word
came to Mrs. Levering that her mother was
dying, and that she must go to her instantly, or
she would not find her alive. Both (her third
child and her mother died within a few days, and
she passed Irom the luneral ot one to the mneral
ot the other. Now conies this lat crushing
affliction ot the murder of her husband at bi
own door.
A number of the residents of the neighborhood
have oll'cred the following reward for the dis
covery of the murderer:
$1000 Heward. The above reward of one
thousand dollars will be paid for the detection
and conviction of the murderer or murderers ot
