Fresh, FRIDAY KVKNIKO, OCT. 6, 1882. What We Fear. We fear that the Philadelphia Times intentionally misstates when it says that Chairman Hensel " disclaims responsi bility for tho utterance of the Lancaster Intelligencer in its support of the policy of the Cameron boss contingent in this city, that demands Democratic antagonism to reform to defeat and disgrace the Democratic party." That disclaimer was made, as the editor of the Times is quite intelligent enough to have understood from its context, not by Mr. Hensel, but by us. "What the opin ion or the chairman of the state com mittee is as to the position taken by the Intelligencer we do not know ; but we do know that our view is acceptable to the Democratic party, over whose organization he presides, and we pre sume it is to him. The audacity of the editor of the Times in pronouncing the Intelligencer's course to be "in sup port of the Democratic boss contingent" is eminently characteristic, both in substance and style ; and is as weak as it is false. The point in question being whether the Democratic candidate for sheriff of Philadelphia should retire in favor of an Independent Itepubl'can nominee, was settled when the Demo cratic convention nominated a Demo crat ; and is stilt further determined by the accoptance of that nomination which the Democratic candidate has just given. It is passing strange that an intelli gent editor, and one who claims to be a leader of opinion, should be content to be so silly and untruthful as to declare the approval of this course of the Democratic convention and its candidate to be " rapidly dwindling down to the corrupt Democratic contin gent that keeps a slippery footing on the edge of Damocracy to distract and dis arm it for the benefit of the Cameron machine ;" another characteristic sen tence that displays its lack of truthful foundation In every adjective. There may be and probably is a feeling among some Democrats that the nomination of a Democratic candidate for sheriff was inexpedient ; but it was not the senti ment of the Democratic authority that made the nomination, and we do not be lieve it is that of tiiS party generally, any more than it is ours ; and any one who undertakes to say that those who believe that the action of the Democratic party is approved only by a corrupt Democratic contingent manifestly says what is false and what, if he is a man of the intelligence of the editor of the Times, every one knows that he knows to be false. pure air is the nest inena ot tne numan family; it is the life of man, yet we treat it in a most ignorant, reckless and ruinous manner. It would be very interesting, perhaps startling, but cer tainly instructive, if we could have a re liable statistical review of the propor tion of mortality directly attributable to ill ventilation. It is doubtless true, as has been alleged, that in our crowded towns and great cities impure air kills more people than all contagious diseases combined. "Wanted, everywhere im- Tirnvpd wntilation. It is ono of the greatest needs of the times. OfENlNU THE DEMOCRATIC BATTEM The meeting last night exhibited the Democracy of Lancaster in sympathy with the jubilant feeling everywhere pre vailing the ranks of the party in this year whose indications leave them no room to doubt their coming success. Meetings are valuable to a party which has a spirit of confidence inspiring it. It enables the contagion to spread and attack tho timid and doubtful who are looking for a place to rest their uncertain heads. These voters do not hesitate now. A Little Girl NEWS MISCELLANY.

What pro nation of our dwellings, offices, work shops, churches, hulls, reading-rooms and public conveyances are properly and safely ventilated V Certainly the num ber i3 comparatively very few. Six months in tho year we think we have little need to consider this matter, and this is possibly tho reason we suffer the other six. Between April and October, if we feel uncomfortable in a room or car, we throw open the window or door ; if wo feel the need of fresh air we treat ourselves to an abundance of it. But from October until April we suffer un mistakable misery and undergo many perils, and.it seems, must continue to do so. And do we run no lisk to health and suffer no injury during the first half of the year as we have divided it V Thous ands of unstup3cttn persons, not all of them weak and frail either, open the window to a dread destroyer. The good housewife noes bustling about her ill- ventilated dwelling .and becomes over heated, not from exertion, but in conse quence of the close and oppressive at mosphere ; she throws up the window and drinks in the cooling draught, only a few minutes, but long enough to im plaut the seeds of a fatal illness. The happy children, chasing each other home from school, rush into the house in a dripping perspiration, fling aside their outer garments and throw themselves on the floor to "cool off."

The rheumatic old party in front of you keeps his window down tightly ; the blooming lass diag nally opposite keeps hers open, likewise the omnipresent small boy behind you and there you are. It is of no use to move, except to move out at the first station, for you will only go from bad to worse. At tho hotel the gentle zephyrs cool your soup and chill you at tho same time.

A Bousing Meeting In Fulton Opera House Candidate Black and Elliott aad ex-Congressman Stenger Speak. Before seven o'clock Thursday evening a crowd began to assemble in tho neigh borhood of the Hiester house, where it was known the Democratic candidates for lieutenant governor, congressman - at largc, Messrs. Black and Elliott, and ex Representative Stenger were to have their headquarters. Messrs. Elliott and Sten ger, who bad been expected from Readipg iu the afternoon train, telegraphed that they had missed the train, but arrived froinHarrisburg in day express, which got here shortly after C p. m. From 7 till half-past the Hiester house parlors were thronged wtth enthusiastic Democrats, aud the distinguished visitors held quite a levee as the crowd poured in anxious lor an introduction and a shako of the hand. The city band arrived on the scene, and after playing several lively airs, a line of procession was formed, and headed by the speakers moved down North Queen and West King street to-the opera house which rapidly filled up. The appearance on the stage of the candidates was the signal for a prolonged burst of applause. Win. H. Roland, esq., chairman of the county committee, called the body to order and nominated Dr. Henry Carpenter for president of tho meeting, who was elected with loud approval. Dr. Carpenter thanked tho audience for the compliment and then tho following list of vice" presidents and secretaries ""was adopted : Vice Presidents. Gen. Geo. M. Stein man, B. J. McGrann, R. H.

Black's Speech. Mr. Black began by saying that ho was a good deal out of voice, but not in the least out of heart or hope. Ho could scarcely express tho pleasure it gavo him to address a Lancaster audience, so near neighbors to his own county which always roll up a Democratic ma jority, aud added that tlio uemoc- racy ol Lancaster were eimueu io all honor for their steady adhercuco to their principles without hope of reward or profit to thcmsolves. wc wane to no a ireo people and have a just government. For more than twenty years tho Republican party has been in power. Whatever wc have suffered can be charged to them. However much wo havo been burdened with unjust taxes, it is duo to them. For yearr. your stato treasury has been robbed. In 1875-0 a committee of tho Legislature, alter duo inquiry, re ported that the Republican party had stolen $1,200,000 of tho public money iu interest alono. It is very difficult to tell bow much the corrupt ring has cost the peoplo in Pennsylvania ; aud of tho money stolen from tho peoplo much has gono to tho Republican committee to strengthen their cause. If you lookback upon the history of Pennsylvania you will .see tuat wc have not had a just govern ment for year.". Now, if we havo not an honest government what is the reasou? It is because we aio not a free people ; wo permit ourselves to be ruled. Whero gov ernment is represented by party, the sub jugation of tho dominant power is the subjugation ot tue wnoio peopic , ami w arc not free because of tho Republican party. That p.tvty ba. tho hand of a boss upon it. Yet how does it happen that one man a Cameron can be put upon a paity which onco en joyed tlio support ot a Lincoln, a Sum nor and a Stevens? It is becauso every officeholder iu the state is compelled to submit himseli absolutely to uamsroa s will iu order to swell the corruption fund that is used to strengthen the vote of the Republican party in Pennsylvania. Mr. Black pointed out that when Thomas Jeff erson came into office in 1S01 he found this tamo system used. It was one of the favored schemes of Hamilton's ' strong government." Mr. Jefferson swept it out of existcne?, aud that was just reform. When Republicans say that the Dem ocrats permit these corrupt measures it is not true ; their principles will not allow it, ar.d these prin ciples, with tho Domocrats in power, will save the nation millions of money. While there may not be much difference in the personality of candidates, the Dem ocratic principles mako tho Democrat in public life a better man than a Republi can, aud a Democrat who goes into public lifo perjures himself if ho docs not sup port his party's principles aud votes away tho public money. Tlia Republicans pretended a remarkable love for the workiugman at this present time of the year. This disgusting gov ernment of Whigs, Know-Nothings, Re publicans, Stalwarts, Independents sprang from tho loins of Alexander Hamilton. Yet Hamilton denounced the workingman as unfit for government. Ho said this goverument must bo niado strong. Strong against what? Why. strong against the people. Now, what I say of tho working man is that ho wants just government. He tolls you that your money is your own capital ; ho wants only equal justice, and demands that legislative enactment against him shall bo cxpuugod aud government started upon a new aud free basis. Now if you coutinuo to support tho great corporations of the country you will some day find upon tho statute books of the United States a law, making a strike trea son against tho United States, aud tho workingniam will be put to labor at the point of tho bayonet. Mr. Black closed his speech by saying : Wherever I go through tho stato I find tho best possible condition of afiairs pre vailing. I tell yon, if every Democrat puts his shouldor to tho wheel the victory is ours. You Democrats of Lancaster county, do all you cau to put yonr voto aside tho voto of Philadelphia, aud shoulder to shouldor with Democratic York, wo will work out our common redemption on tho coming great day. At tho close of bis speech au exquisite floral horseshoe was presented to Mr. Black amidst storms of applause. Stenger on the Bosses. Tho baud played a short selection after whisk Hon. W. S. Stenger, of Franklin county, was introduced, and who was re ceived with ringing applause. Ho spoke as follows : It is almost a quarter of a century since I stood ou this platform, a student of Franklin and Marshall college, and in the name of my class bade farewell to tho citi zens of Lancaster. It is then with pecu liar pleasure I corns back to you to-night, aud as I stand here before jou many happy thoughts come surging up to mo. and with them many sad ones also. Since I addressed you, gigantic rebellion has struck at tho lifo of our government. And where danger was greatest, there Pennsyl vania's soldiers were found shoulder to shoulder in defense of the flag and the in tegrity of onr government. Tweity-five years, Aye ! These grand people rushed to arms, and by tho stern abitrament of war, settled the Union of the states once and forever. In defense of that mighty principle one president went down in cold blood, and sicce that day another has fallen, a victim of that mightier evil tbo spoils system. I am reminded by my surroundings or Shreincr's graveyard wherein lies tho ashes of the Old Commoner, the same who said in defense of Wolfo, a Democratic gover nor, in reference to the question of the common school system. " If it shall come to this, if this should be the turning point of our suffrages, if my strongest personal frinnd is arraved a-raiust this system and my bitterert enemy is in its favor, I shall place myself in the ranks of him whose banners stream with liaht." So I come to you to-night and say that if my best friend was in favor of tho spoils system and my worst enemy against it I would place myself in the ranks of him whose banner streamed with the light of reform. I need not tell you who carries that banner in this campaign. A young man 32 years of age (to be a young man is a crime now adays) spruug from a parentage of which any one might be proud. Young in years, but old in wisdom, ho was trusted to sueh an extent by Philadelphia that he was elected tho second timo controller of that Republican city by a majority of 17,000 of tho popular vote. I come to present the claims of men like that as agaiust those of our .Republican friends. I admire tho grand record of our state since the foun dation of tho Union, and am willing to spell nation with tho biggest kind of N ; but I claim to be a Pennsylvanian in this contest. I will not bow down to one mau as my mastor aud boss, but oouio to speak to you as one whoweara no man's collar about his neck. Why should not Pem sylvaniaus rulo Pennsylvania ? Because Don Camerou has said you oughtn' t to.Tho elder Cameron began this one mau ruio which has grown to such vast proportions by tho purchase of threo venal Domocrats WUOSO VOWJ put mm mi iuu uuitcu umim Senate. And only yesterday I noticed ho had tho effrontery to name a postoffice in this state after Lebo, one of the mou he had bought. After tho elder Camerou had got tho power into his hands ho dictated the nomination of Don as his successor iu tho Senate, a man who had no qualification for that high office except that ho was tho sou of his father. "IMVi nni man in l'ennsvlvauia is '"T enough to boss l;z Democratic party ; b-casMs it is tho party of tho people, aud its members think and act for themselves.

Let not tho Independents take all tho credit of reform to themselves. Since Titdcn made his grand fight against the rings iu New York, tho Democratic watch word has been reform. f Applause. Of lato tho cry has been hoard " Unload Cameron and elect Beaver." Tho speaker then indulged in some witkciiug sarcasm at tho absurdity of this proposition, refer ring to Beaver's betrayal of his constitu ents at Chicago, and tho '20,000 check that Cameron has drawn l aid Beaver's election. Stal waits hay tins is a mcro personal fight agaiust Cameron, but it is moro than that, it is a struggle for the people who havo been ground to tho dust by tho Caincrons. Mahout;, Cab, Dursey and Brady were lef erred to as fitting instances of tho reform spirit of tho Republican party. Tho speaker then paid a glowing tribufa to Dsinocratio achievements, ami closed by saying that now is the timo to mtsh on'u victory and genuino adminis tration icforni. Mr. Stenger retired amid a burst or Joug continued applause. Mr. i:iIlolf Iloiieful View. As soon as tho baud had played a tuno, President Carpenter introduced tho candi date for congressman -at-largo Mortimer F. Elliott, of Tioga, who was loudly cheered as he stepped to tho front of tho stage. Ho prefaced his speech with tho icniark that ho had always felt there was a bond of sympathy between tho Demo crats of Lancaster county and thosa of his own county of Tioga they were iu a hopeless minority both places. Ho could assure his hearers that everything looks bright in tho northern tier, aud everything looks brisht in every soction of tho state he has yet visited. " We are sure to win this time." Mr.Elliott said, "and there's no question about it. The only question is as to tho size of the majority. My reasons for this assertion are, first, becauso wo are right, aud secondly, becauso wo will havo the most votes. Laughter aud ap nl.mte.l Tho fmht is already won, and all that is necessary for tho Democrats to do is to poll their solid voto. Hitherto tho Democratic party has been confronted by the solid ranks of tho opposition ; now that opposition is divided withiu itsolf aud demoralization prevails among them. There are two distinct Republican tickets iu tho field against tho ticket of the De mocracy. One of these tickets repre sents tho Stalwart machine and tho other voices tho protest of tho conscienco and intelligence of tho party against further yielding allegiance to a debasing domin ancy, who havo for so long used power un scrupulously for tho purposes of its own perpetuation. Mr. Elliott proceeded to ridiculo the speeches which ho had listened to for threo hours iu his owu county the other night wherein a couplo of porspiring namlirl.it.es had sought to iuflamo tho miuds by revamping tho old worn-out issues of twenty years back, instead of meoting tho live questions that today thrust theni solvcs forward for tho arbitrament of tho peoplo. Tho speaker saiu tuat wuen tho civ of danger was heard iu the land, from tho hills of Penn sylvania Domocrats aud Republicans alike responded, and ho exposed tho insincerity of the present Stalwart hue and cry against Confederate Brigadiers by poiuting out tho eagerness with which thoy themselves have "embraced Long stree, Mosby, Mahono aud Chalmors. and entered into tho vilest conspiracies with tiicso men for tho purpose of subverting tho will of tho peoplo. The speaker chal lenged tho production of a single instanco in which the Republican party had re doomed a pledge it had inado to tho peoplo, and was especially sovere in his al lusions to tho crime of '76, where the record of wrong was crowned by the theft of tho presidency and the putting into tho chair of Jefferson, Jackson and r.;nnni nf t.hn smallest specimen of a man that has ever rattled arouud iu tho executivo seat. As showing how quickly this littlo man has been forgotten tho speaker mentioned that at the funeral of President Garfield nobody spoke to htm oxcopt a watchmam, who told him to get off tho grass. Laughter. But tho great fraud will never bo forgotten or condoned by tho people of America. Mr. Elliott then went on to dissect tho record of the Republican party, with its Grants and its Robcsons, its Dorseys and its Bradys and its Arthurs and hurled bitter 'invective against tho thievery and crime that have pervaded tho places of power ruder their administration. Mr, Elliott showed tho ru.. growth in state expenditure whioh from $1,500,000 annually under Curtin have now reached $3,000,000, and at the present rate promise to get up to 810,000,000. These figures call for reform, and the people, who for fifteen years have been trying to get it from one party have now turned to the other and propose to let it try its hand. Boss methods were round ly denounced, and Mr. Elliort raised a laugh by quoting from a speech which one of the opposing candidates Brosius had made iu his own county of Tioga, tho other day, when he said that after the election the party would shake off "Cameron as tho lion does thedewdrop from its mane." A pretty sort of a dewdrop is Don Cameron ! The speaker said that a few days ago Cameron had drawn his check for $20,000 and sent it to the Stalwart committee. That doesn't look as though he thought there was much danger of being shaken off. The fact of tho matter is Don Cameron's grip is tightening in the throat of the Re publican party, and if Beaver's election should come to pass, his mastery over the destinies of the people would be more complete than ever. The speaker closed with a glowing eulogy of Pattison, young but tried, and predicted his overwhelming triumph iu November. This sentiment was cheered to the echo, auil immediately cries for " Honsel " " Steiuraetz " and "Davis"' were hoard, but as it was now past ten, ncith'cr of these gentlemen re sponded, aud tho meeting adjourned in three cheers lor Pattison and tho Demo cratic ticket.

Yesterday morning Mayor MacGouiglo committed to tho jail for fivo days a drunken man who gavo his namo as John II. Mooney, and told tho officors who ar rested him that he was from Mount Joy. Mr. John II. Mooney, who is a respectable youn" man of that borough, writes to in. form us that ho is not tho man arrested, and that ho has not been in Lancaster for a month. It often happens that two men bear tho same namo, aud it is a common occurrcnco for scalawags to assume tho names of decent mon. Probably this is a case of that kind.

' Mr. Wilson presented tho following re ports from the committee on text books : .Laxcabtkb. l'a., Oct. 5, l&Ji To the School Board oZancatter City .- Your committee last summer recom mended a curriculum of study for tho male and female high schools, which was afterwards adopted by the board. Among tho studies included was that of English literature. No text-book was recom mended and none was adopted. Tho dif ficulty was that most text-books on the subject simply contain biographical do- tails -and criticisms ou tho works of tho classical writers. They are books about literature and not lit erature itself. The city superintendent has called our attention to a list of Eug lish classics that seem to meet our wants exactly. Tho books contain about fifty pages each, are elegantly printed on good paper, and aio sold at ten ceuts each. They consist of Bacon's Essays, Milton's Comus, Cowper's Task, Shakspeare's Plays, Pilgrim's Progress, Paradise Lost, etc., etc. A teacher aud his class can de cide which work to tako up, then pur chase the books, and when they have fiuished it tako up another and so on ad infinitum. Wo think there is no better way of studying Euglisu literature, aud would recommend that authority bo given to use these books in the English litera ture classes. W. A. Wilson, J. 31. Johnston. To the School Hoard of Lancaster City : Your committee, to whom was referred the question, whether it bo advisable to furnish certain schools with Webster's unabridged dictionary, respectfully report as follows : Upon inquiry wo, fiad mit has bnm the uuiiuim 'prautTtco ot tuo board to furnish all tho secondary schools with copies of Webster s unabridged. Owing to the adoption of the single room system, under which each secondary teacher has exclusive control over his room, and is solely rcspausiblo for its management and condition, it has beou found necessary to increaso the number of dictionaries to supply the wants ot pupils. Accordingly, last winter four now dic tionaries were provided for tho Lemon street schools, two for tho James street schools and three for tho Mulberry street schools. The only secondary teachers who are not now supplied aro Miss Baker and Miss Nccper, of tho Rockland schools ; Miss Mussclnian, of tho Mauor street schools, and Mr. Couzzens, principal of a combined primary and secondary school. MissBundell's dictionary is an old edition, has been in use very mauy years, has been rebound twice, aud is not fit to rcbiud again, many leaves being torn aud missing- For many reasons your committee are uu.iuimous ui recoinmcnuing mo uua biidged edition. The illustrations aro a valuable feature, especially to children. A picture is often worth a page of definition and description. The etymology of words is given and they cau bo traced back to their sources. The definitions aio much more full and complete. Tho orthography ami pronunciation, not ouly of the author is given, but that of other distinguished orthocpists and Echolars. And finally by quotations from our best classical authors tho actual forco and meaning of words is happily elucidated. For those reasons your committeo cor dially concur in tho recommendation made at the last meeting ny tne committeo on furniture and apparatus. W. A. Wilson. J. M. Johnston. Mr. Evaus, from tho finance committee, reported the following bills which wcro oidered to bo paid : Chas. H. Barr, books, vVc, S.Ul Hebrew Ball.

Mr. Evans also reported that the bouds of tho boards advertised for salo had all been sold, $500 at 4 per cent, premium and $.500 at 1 1-10 per cent, premium. Mr. Hartman, from tho committeo on buildings and grounds, reported verbally that tho committeo had not jot purchas ed a site in the northern part of tho city, on which to erect a new school houso, but had been examining sites and would proba bly purchase ono iu a day or two. Mr Erisman, from the committeo on school furniture and supplies, made the following report : To the President and Members of the Lancas ter City School Hoard . Tho undersigned, your committeo on supplies and school furniture, present the following report : Tho cyclopedia, ordered to bo purchased at tho last meeting of the board, has been procured at a greatly re duced rate than tho publisher's pneo, viz., for tho sixteen volumes and index, pub lisher's prico is $102 ; we procured them for $81. Each volumo has been properly stamped and placed in tho teacher's li brary. Wo also report that we havo not yet accepted the furniture placed in tho rooms of the Manor street school building by tho Buffalo furniture company, as it docs not come according to tho contract. A num ber of our schools rcnuire more black board surface, and in a number of the schools the surface is in such a condition that it is unfit for use. Misses Georgie and Sarah Bundcl need moveablo black boards in their rooms and have asked for the same. Miss Zug has no map of the United States, aud has asked that A. II. Johnston's map of the United States be furnished for her room. Wo also report that tho piauo covor in the girl's high school is worn out, and in asmuch as tbo board never purcnaseu any covers for tho piauo, thoy having beeu fur niphed by the principal, Bliss Sarah Bun del, tho committeo has ordered one. Wo would again call ycur attention to tho fact that in a number of onr achools thero aro no closets or bookcases in which tho books and othor property of tho board may ho placed to bo protected from dust or loss. Wo rcpoit tho needs without further recommendation. Respectfully submitted, E. J. Ekisman, Chairman. Tho city superintendent's report was read, as follows : LANCASTER, fA., VCI. O, lOO-s. enttubsaiU tk" following report of the pnblio sehools, for the mouth of Septem ber : The number of pupils enrolled was, in the high schools, 338, in the secondary. 1,168, in the primary, 3,044. Total, 3,450. The average attendance was, in the hi"h schools. 220. in the secondary, 1,045, iulhe primary, 1,748. Total, 3.023. The average per cuutago was 91. By compar ing these figures with those of September, 1881, it will bo soeti that there is an in crease of 352 in the enrollment, aad of 153 in the average attendance. When it is remembered that we have not added to tbo number or our toaohers, at cm readily ba understood that some schools must be overcrowded, aud tint additional schools are necessary. Tho primary schools in the James aud Ljiuju street buildiugs have been relieved by giving the lower only half day sessions, as the board di rected at the special meeting ; but, of course, the work douo in school of this kiod is not equal to that in schools of the ordinary number of pupiK One of the evils that teacher ; lioro have to contend with is the pracsiiM o a low directors of disregarding the established lines aud giv ing notes of admission to pupils not euti tled to attend their school. Such aoonrso malcAsitnoL-osstrv thtt the teacher con nive at the violation of tho rule, or refuse to honor the director's note of admission, which often leads to unpleasant misun derstanding. . The work of iatructiou is carried on with oarnostuess, and ordar and discipline in the schools are good. Tho new supple mentary readers aro in uso, and the cy clopedia is in the teachers' library. The two new primary schools ia Manor street are not supplied with reading charts, and I would therefore suggest that two of Appleton's new reading charts bo pur chased for them, aud that thoy bo thus placed on a level with tho othor primary schools. The timo for op miug tlw night school is at hand aud their most successful and economical admiui-ttratiou is tuofore a proper subject for discuswiou at this timo. The limited attention tint I have given to theso schools hat couviuced me that tho results attainod aro by no mcan3 commensurate with the money ex pended, which is from fivo to tun times as much per pupil as iu tho day schools. Regularity of attoudinco is essential Jto tho highest success iu any course of in struction, and the most casual observer will see that this has notrb.:en attained to any reasonable dogrco. Ouu half of tho pupils enrolled is about tho average at tendance. It would bo interesting to know how many evenings on an aventgo . the pupils iu these schools attend. To secure the greatest measure of suooess it is aho necessary that teaching peculiarly qualified to deal with suaii pupils should be secured. Teaching iu a night school differs greatly from teaching iu a day school. It is a great mistako to treat these pupils as if thoy wero little children, simply because thoy are deficient iu scho lastic attaiuments. To provont unnecessary expendituio of money in the maintenance of these schools and to afford tha board reliable informa tion in regard ti them, I would suggest tho adopt iju of tin foil j wing course for this year : First : That all persons who desire to attend night schoolo, or who havo chil dren or wards to soud, m iko application to the committeo on uigut schools, de positing at tho time one dollar as a guar antee that such applicant will attend ono mouth at least. If tho applicant is studi ous aud orderly, and is n Jt absent except when ho is absolutely obliged to be, the money will bo refunded at the end of the month. Ho cau then reucw his certificate or application for another month. The school will, therefore, cost nothing to those pupiU who go regularly and mako a business of it. Those who go once in a whilo for amusement will lose tho money deposited, and this pay. the city part of tho cost inclined o:i their aecouut. Secondly That all such applications bo registered by said committee, and that whenover twenty applicants are secured a fchool bo oncucd. Thirdly That tho teacher bo required to keep a toll, recording the number of sessions each pupil has attended, and re port tho same together- with excuses for absence, weekly, to tho city superintend eut, who will report monthly to tho com mittee. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, R. K. BuEnnLK, City Sup't. Tlio recoiuinoudalion of the text bulk committeo to purcbaso Webster's una bridged dictionaries for tho secondary schools uot having them, and authorizing tho uso of the text books on literature iu the high schools wero uuanimously ap pioved. Mr. Waifel presented tho resignatiou of Miss Sue Girvin as first assistant in tho Duko street secondary school. Ho took occasion to say that Miss Girvin had been in tho employ of the board for thir teen years, aud was now compelled to re sign ou account of ill health. During bcr long term of service she had beeu absent from her duties but threo days. Her res ignation was accepted and the thanks of hoard were voted her for faithful servicos. Miss Clara Lichty, second assistant in tho same school, was unanimously elected to Miss Girvin's place, and Miss Mary A. Dougherty, principal of a West Chestnut strcot primary, was promoted to Miss Lichty's place, receiving 23 votes to 0 cast for Miss Blanche McCormick. Miss Clara Spindler was elected bv ac clamation to fill the vacancy caused by Miss Dougherty's promotion, and Miss Kate Shirk was elected to fill the vacancy caused by .Miss Spindler's promotion. Dr. Levergood offered a resolution that tho primary grade pupils in Mr. Matz's combined German aud English school bo transferred to Miss Zuecbcr's primary school and that Mr. Matz's school bo raised to a grade of a full secondary school. Mr. Warfel moved to amend by refer ring tho matter to the superintending committeo to report at next meeting. After a discussion, participated in by Messrs. Levergood, Warfel, Hartman, Haas, Herr and Wilson, Mr. Warfel's amendment was agreed to by a vote of 18 to 15, aud the resolution as amended was adopted. Ou iuoli.'U of Mr. G. W. Zecher the board proceeded to elect a principal teacher for the boys' night school. A ballot being takeu resulted iu the electiou of Mr. W. II. Lrvergood, who received 21 votes to 9 i U. S. Gates and 3 for C. V. Lichty. On motion of Mr. Hartmau the election of an assistant teacher was postponed until such timo as tho night school com mittee might deem it necessary to havo another teacher. Miss Kate Sunk was elected by accla mation as teacher of the girls' night school, and on motiou of Mr. Warfel tho night school committeo was empowered to select an assistant if one be needed. A communication from Qeorgo N. Glover, teacher of classical and acietific branches in the boys' high school, was read, praying for an increaso of salary, tho recently adopted curriculum imposing on him additional duties attended by con siderable personal expense. His request for an increase was urged by Prof. J. I. McCaskcy, princint', and Ja. C. liable, assistant tctch-jr, 1 1 tin high school. Oh motiou Mr, G!-v.;i s salary was increased from $77 to VM per moot!-. Mr. Eristnau moved ihat the schools bo closed on Thursday, October 13th.
