A countryman was sw indled yesterday out
of about ninety dollars by what is known as the
ronlidenee game, lie hail met at his hotel the
day before a pleasant-spoken young man, who
engaged him in conversation, and had evidently
made a lavorable impression upon him. Yester
day they took a walk together, and when near
tho Merchants' Exchange the coutldenec man
wanted the lean of a hundred dollars until ho
could go Into the Exchange and draw up a bank
check. About ninety dollar was all tho other
man had, and ho willingly loaned It to his plca
Fftlit companion. The swindler did not go Into
the Exchange, but passed through the opening
nort1' ol it into pock street, and was not scon
nftcrwards.
A elated meeting of the School Controllers
was held yesterday, Mr. Steimnctz, l'residont,
in the chair.
Mr. Jcnks, of the Committee on Girls' Nor
mal School, offered the followiug, which was
adopted:
litsolved, That at the semi-annual admission
of pupils to the Girls' Normal School no one
shall be admitted who is not fourteen years old
on the day of the commencement of each new
term, vi.'., on the first Monday of February and
September of each car.
Mr. Lukens, of the Committee on Text Books,
reported in favor of the immediate admis
sion into the schools of the ''J laud Book of
Map Drawing," tor the use of teachers only.
The report was approved.
Mr. Wetherill offered a resolution to the effect
that, inasmuch as it lias been reported that in
certain of tho public schools teachers of music
have been employed without (lie approval or
knowledge of either the Superintendent or Com
mittee having charge of the subject of music,
the Committee on the Revision of Studies be
directed to inquire into tlio subject, and if the
reports are found correct to report such action
as may be necessary to prevent its rccurreuco.
Adopted.
The subject of a Superintendent of Public
Schools was referred to a special committee of
five.
Mr. Elkin, of the Committee on the Qualifica
tion of Teachers, made a report adversely to a
change in the rules of the board in regard to the
grunting of certificates of (nullification to per
sons to teach in primary schools. The report
states that prior to the act of tho Legislature of
I Mi") examinations for touchers were held by sec
tional boards, in many instances proving a mere
farce, and persons wholly incompetent were
placed in tho schools through political influence.
Complaints wero repeatedly made to the Board
of Controllers and rules and regulations were
adopted. The members were defied and laughed
at, and tho result was the act of 1805. The" law
Is declared to be humane in its provisions, as it
did not affect any one teaching at the time, but
prohibited the appointment of any ono there
after unless holding n, certificate granted by the
board. The committee recommended the Con
trollers to Htainl by the law resolutely and un
swervingly. A motion approving the report was
passed.
Mr. Hick ok offered the following as an amend
ment to tho rules on tho qualifications of
teachers:
Teachers' certificates shall not bo granted
except upon a general average of 75, (15, or 00,
as the ease may be, in orthography, reading,
writing, arithmetic, geography, and grammar,
exclusive of the averages obtained in other
branches. Postponed.
Mr. Freeborn ottered a resolution to the effect
that a committee of nine members be appointed
to mnke an estimate of the expenses of the
schools for the coming year. Adopted.
Mr. MacBride offered a resolution to the effect
that Cwuncils be asked to appropriate $5000 to
ay tho teachers or new divisions. Adopted.
