Spkcijii Meeting of thb Bchool Con
♦tboilbbs.—A i peoial 0)66t10s or the Board o
Softool Controller* was held yesterday afternoon,
President Fletcher in the ohair.
Several communications were read and referred.
The Commiteeon Grammar, Secondary,and Primary
Schools, presented a preamble with resolutions an
nexed, which were adopted.
Ur. Shippen offered a resolution authorising the
{Controllers of the Twenty-fifth Section to expel
from his position the principal of the Carrol Bay*
Grammar School, for intoxication, and also turn*
profane language before members of this Boaru.
The xeiolution was unanimously adopted. The re
port of the special committeesPß°J n *!j And
SSft,2J wa» then re»fl
We wteacyne fo|iowln * th( £ B tho
f^JSSi f cSSi*e* e is contended, the ad-
Vi7niftT*tioT?of tbe High School is affected, and the
thereof i* charged to the principal of
that institution; _ _ , _
First Under the general charge of inattention or
mismanagement, it waa alleged that no arrangement
was made by which the grammar school teachers
could obtain the examination paper*.
We do not think that the charge, even if fully
proven, is one whioh should affect the principal of
the school, unless it is proven to be his duty to
make such arrangement. Nevertheless, we think
that mere courtesy requires that all proper facilities
should be afiordee those who desire to see the ques
tions and answers thereon at seasonable times
Second . Under the same general charge, it is al
leged that the teachers cf toe High School or the
graduates, or both, at the examinations indulged in
talking. laughing, eating, seizing or knitting, to such
sit extent as to interfere with and distract the at
tention of the candidates from their duties. In
support of this charge, very many principals testify
ihat it is a common and usual complaint with pupils
of their respective schools, and a large number of
pupils give similar evidence. One of them states
that she got part or the conversation mixed up with
her written answers. On the contrary, however,
the lady teachers of the High School, and a number
of graduates, state that, in their judgment, there
was so such talking, laughing, &c., which .would so
interfere, and doubtless they honestly believe
so; and yet it must be remembered that even
trifles will distract attention, especially with chil
dren. The introduction of a box of- sardinei, for
instance, though a small matter of itself, would,
without question, attract attention and disturb a
chile’s train of thoughts, and such was proven to
have been done on one occasion.
Third. It is charged that the examinations are ad
vertised to commence a.t nine o’clock, and that they
are net commenced until ten o’clock on the first day.
This fact is proven, but the delay ii sufficiently ac
counted for. No blame can be attached to theichool
on this score.
Fourth. Graduates of the High Sohool were in at
tendance at the examination who were acquainted
with the different schools. This is as stated, but
little weight is to be attached to the charge, because
it was shown that it was a matter of importance to
have the assistance of the graduates at the examina
tions, and besides, the number in attendance was
considerably reduced at the last examination, &0.,
&o.
Fifth “Cards of candidates have been changed.”
This has been accounted for to the satisfaction of
She committee.
Sixth. Queatior s have been read differently in dif
ferent rooms. This is proven.
Sevinlh. The word “ appellate” was given in one
room and “ appellant” iu another. This is proven.
Eighth In one room The interrogation mark was
given, in ar other the mark of exclamation, materi
ally affecting the parsing. This was proven.
JSinih. The woid “ area ” in one room, and “ alti
tuoe ”in another. This waa proven.
Tenth The word “b*rqu*t” was given in one
loom, ftba the wo<u boquei ”in another. This
was proven.
Ehventh. The word “calendar” was given in one
room with definition to distinguish it from t( calen
der,” and Id another no such definition was given.
This is denied by the teacher who gave out the
word. The evidence ia conflicting.
These last six charges, except the eleventh, are
proven, and show carelessness. They may seem to
cue unacquainted with the rules for conducting ex
aminations trlfliog, and would be so, but for the fact
that they, in many instances, materially affect the
question to be answered, and to a corresponding de
gree aflect the relative standing of pupils, or at
least the amount of thought and work to be per
formed. It ia certainly not fair to give verbal expla
nation to one, and fail to give it to another. Still,
tbevommittee Las no reason to suppose the omis
sion waa anything but accidental. It is charged
that there is scarcely a High school examination at
which some objectionable questions are not given,,
such as 'he following:
Twelfth. “Dtfiiae a plane Angle.”
This is objected to because the term 11 plane angle”
is not found in text-books in use.
On the other hand, it ia stated, that the term is
found in “plane rectilineal angle.”
It is charged, likewise, to at the Principal of the
High School admitted that he did not know what
answer was required, implying that he did not know
What the answer was.
He explains, however, that he merely admitted
That he rid not know what answer would be taken
M the teacher who should mark the paper.
We think the objection to “plane angle” is sus
tained, ns it shows that proper care waa not takeh
in piep«nrg the question. In the judgment of the
cctsmutte exactitude should mark all 'questions
given. The term “plane angle” ia not given in the
it xt-bocks, while “planerectilineal angle ” isgiven,
&c.
Thirteenth . The next objectionable question charged
is found in the first set of mensuration :
-• How do you find the diagonal of a rectangle
whin you have the proportion of its sides, and the
area of a tquare having the same perimeter”’
It seems that the principal oi the High Sohool ad
mitted that he had given verbs! explanations of the
question. The ladies of the grammar sobools con
tend that if verbal explanations were given, that
fact is evidence of ambiguity; and, besides, it is
proven by nearly all the principals that the pupils
were in doubt as to the meaning of the question.
One of them, however, says it was cot ambiguous
to her pupils. It follows, as a matter of the simplest
justice, that a very great regard should be paid to
the forming of questions so to be given. One of the
male principals states that the question is compli
cated, yet lair, and all of them declare, that their
large boys would not do any of the questions.
There are forty.three charges made, all of whiah
are approved or disapproved. The above charges go
to show their nature, ana how the committee acted
upon them. The remaining ones are somewhat
rimiiar, and develop facte to prove the inability or
carelessness* of these who conduct the High School
examinations. The icpf*: t concludes as follows:
In tiuth, gentlemen of the Board] a decided]
prompt, and efficient remedy is demanded. You
cannot close your eyes to charges made, and allow
them to pass by unheeded, any longer, unless, in
deed, it Is tour desiie to allow the institution to go
to decay for want of support. You must be fully
aware that sections have decided not to send more
pupils to the school, and others are ready for similar
action* unless a change is made in the
and this brings us to the most painful part of the
<<uty you have assigned to tnis committee, namely,
The recommendation of the committee. In the per
formance of this public duty we are compelled to
lock only to the public good ; we must not allow
meie sympathy for individual* to away our judg
ment. We feel compelled to say that there has not
been exercised that full, ample, and increasing vigi
lance over the Girls’ High and Normal School, in
acme of its departments, which you have a right to
expect, and the public a right to demand, at the
hands of the administration of the same, and we
are well satisfied that the true interests of the sohool
require a change in its chief officer, the principal.
We have not arrived at this conclusion without a
careful consideration of the evidence. We know of
no other remedy ;we believe there is none. The
committee therefore offers the followiog resolution
for your consideration:
Resolved. That the position o? principal of the Girls’
High and Normal School be declared vacant from the
'first day of Stay next, and until a new principal shall
he duly elected; and further, that the secretary be dl
reeled to tarnish the present principal of said school
with a duiy-atteeied copy of ibis resolution.
All of which ia respectfully submitted.
ED. SHIPPEN. Chairman.
CHARLES WELSH,
JAMES FREEBORN,
W. O. KLINE.
Mr. 1L W. Cushman, who was one of this com
mittee, refused to sign the report. He agreed in
part with the report, but was not in favor of declar
ing the present principal’s position vacant. He
thought he should nave another trial.
A motion was then made to postpone the conside
ration of the report, and have it printed, which was
agreed to by a vote of 13 yeas to 10 nays.
The Board then adjourned.
What is Most Needed. — A circular re
cently issued by the United State* Christian Com*
mission gives some important information relative
to what articles ought to be sent for the use of our
sick acd wounded soldiers, to the Commission,
Every one who gives for this purpose should see
that his contributions are as serviceable as possible.
The following directions, prepared by persons who
have bad piactioal experience in the duty of re*
iieving toe wants of the camps and hospitals, are of
great utility:
What to Send. —Money, by all means, if possi
ble. To invest money in articles to send is un
wise. The Commission can purchase exaotly what
is wanted at the very moment when needed moat,
ard, as a Commission, at wholesale, cheaper than
others.
Uotkm<ji etc —Cotton shirts, cotton drawers, ban
ton flannel shirts and drawers, surgical shirts and
drawers, (with tape strings to tie instead of seams
at the sides,) large cotton drawers, (to wear in-doora
as pants,) dressing gowns, slippers, (if of cloth or
carpet with stiff soles.) sheets, pillow*cases, bed
ticks, (single for tilling with straw,) pillows, pads
for fractured limbs, ring pads for wounds, fans, net
ting to protect from flies, housewives stored with
needles, thread, buttons, pins, Ac., handkerchiefs,
wash-rags, old linen.
Food, etc.— Oat meal, farina, ooru-starch, dried
rusk, jellies, soda biscuit, butter, crackers, Boston
crackers, good butter in small jars, jams, onions in
barrels, apples in barrels, cranberries, piokles, dried
fruits. In special cases, eggs, bread, cakes, Jto., are
needed, but not generally; they should, never be
sent unless specially called for.
For Bivtrageg —Good black tea, cbooolate,-lemons,
syrups. All preparations of the blackberry are of
double value.
Stimulants—Good brandy, Madeira wine, port
wine, cordials. Domestic wines are excellent in
winter, but are apt to spoil in summer.
Good Heading Matter. — trash. Soldiers de
ceive the best. A library is avaluable hygienic ap
pliance. For the able- bodied, good publications are
mental and spiritual food. For convalescents, live
ly, Interesting books, the monthlies, the pictorials,
works of art, science, and literature, as well as those
for moral ana spiritual culture, such as you would
put into the hands of a brother recovering, are
wanted.
Stationery U much needea— Paper, envelopes, and
ptneils. Societies and committees will do well to
secure free transportation for their stores by any re
liable line not too alow, if possible. If not, then to
send without prepayment. Better to send all the
money they can, and Jet the Commission settle for
freight, as special arrangement! have been made
with many lines.
Church Cohbkcratkd. —Yesterday
morning, the church of “ Our Saviour,’ 1 looated on
Heed street, near Seventh, was dedicated with ap
propriate ceremonies. Rt. Rev. Bishop Stevens
officiated, and the dedicatory sermon was preached
by Rev. Dr. Goddard, and Rev. Messrs, Bringhurat,
Donnell, Eiben, Parker, Dutborow, Quick, 'and
others, participated in the ceremonies. The reotor*
Rev. Mr. Shinn, was formerly assistant pastor of
St. Paul's Church.
Valuable Collection of Portraits.
—A large and elegant collection of photograph pic
tures oi the Catholic Bishops of the United States,
with the prominent clergymen of this and other
dioceses, has been procured by Mr. John R.
Downing, No. 139 South Eighth street, above Walnut
street, forming quite an interesting group, which
cannot fail to prove of great value to the large num
ber of persons of the Catholic persuasion.
New Counterfeit.— A new counter
feit or the denomination of $lO made Its appearance
yesterday on the Valley Bank, Hillsborough, N- H,
altered from a genuine $1 or $2. The big cattle in
water is genuine; the name of the bank and other
reading upon lower portion is done by a chemioal
process through the red tint.
To Be Reorganized.— The officers of
the lit Regiment of Wuhington Guard, will Bold

THE -POLICE.
Rebel Oatn-Tatting Swindlers.
On Saturday afternoon, the I9th inst, a number
of “rebel oath-takers” were at the Cooper Shop
Volunteer Refreshment Saloon. They all seemed
anxious to obtain work. It was not to be expected
they were all honest. It may be safely Inferred
there is always one Judas in every twelve men. It
seems, however, that a worthy farmer, Mr.-E, Mid
dleton, of Delaware county, in agreeing to give
work to three of the repentant rebels, happened to
select three Judases. He desired to have one hand
to woik on his farm, but three of the released pri
soners prevailed upon him to give them employ
ment. He paid their passage to the country, and on
the following morning, Sunday, they appeared satis
fied. One of the party, giving the name of Wilson
W. Maiden, hailing from North Carolina, remarked
that it was Sunday morning, and suggested thstany
bargain, of a business character, made on such a day
might not be exaetly legal.
Mr. Middleton said that, so far as he was into*
rested, he would waive such a technicality. The
men were satisfied. They were fitted out with a
change of garments in place of .their butternut cloth
ing, and a substantial dinner was served to them.
Some time after this gaatronomioal exercise the trio
started away and have not been heard of since.
One of the men gave the name of John Murdoch,
and said he came from North Carolina. The name
of the third man is not known. In a conversation
that ensued between Mr. M. and the party, Malden
said that he had fought under Stonewall Jackson,
and thaf Jackson was a praying man. Whether he
meant by using the word “praying,” devotional
exercises, or preying upon the vitals of the country,
of course cannot be transmitted to posterity through
the medium of The Press. One thing la morally
certain, tho deaciple of old Stonewall oertainiy
preyed upon the property of Mr. Middleton.
[Before Mr. Alderman Beltler.j
Receiver.
William Splane, the keeper of a junk shop on
Cherry street, near Seventh, was arraigned at the
Central Station yesterday afternoon on the charge
of receiving stolen goods. When taken into cus
tody by Mr. Levy, of the detective force, the accused
admitted voluntarily that he had purchased some
iron osstings from three boys. These castings were
identified by Mr. John Clouds, foreman of a ma
chine shop at 918 Cherry street, the said oastiogs
having been stolen therefrom a short time since.
Mr; Levy, in searching the establishment, seized
quite an amount of things supposed to have been
stolen, among which we notice type metal, broken
stereotype plates, one of tbe pieces having on it, in
capital letters. “ Listen to the Mocking Bird.** There
were also pieces of lead pipe, dentists’ casts lor
teeth, a box of piano keys made of copper, and
other articles, which may be seen at the Central
Station. Tbe accused was held in the sum of $1,603,
to await a hearing to take place on Thursday after
noon.
[Before Mr. Alderman White. 3
Alleged Embezzlement.
A case has been pending for several days before
Police Magistrate White, in which a young man li
chargid with embezzling the funds of his employer.
A considerable mass of evidence has been given in,
but very little, however, as having a bearing upon
the accused. It seems that he was employed in the
store of the prosecutor at the rate of nine dollars
per week for a number of years. At the present time
he has a store of his own, and his employer cannot,
by any force of his reasoning powers, exactly com
prehend how it is possible for his employee to have
such a well-stocked establishment. At the hearing,
yesterday afternoon, a fact was demonstrated that
pointed like an index finger to the whole transac
tion. A lacy had purchased a twenty-five-dollar
rocking chair, paid tbe cash for it, the said transac
tion not being recorded on tbe-books. The defendant
defied her io produce a receipt for the money. She
admitted that she could not, as she paid cash for the
chair, and did not get a receipt The case has been
returned to court, to be sifted out, as it most essen
tially will be by District Attorney Mann.
Police Patriotism.
The police force of this city have cheerfully sub
mitted to the proposition to appropriate one day’s
wages on behalf of the great Fair of the United
States Sanitary Commission, to be held In this city
in June next. Other associations will probably do
the same thing.
[Before Mr. Alderman Devlin. 3
Brutality.
James Sweet and James Wildy were arraigned,
yesterday morniDg, on the charge of beating a co
lored man, at Fifteenth and Filbert streets, on Sun
day, as he was returning from or going to church.
There was no provocation for the outrage. Such wan
ton attacks upon persons, simply because of color,
is so mean that, though the assailants may be white
skinned, yet they are the most contemptible niggers,
in its tiue meaning. It is further alleged that the
defendants entered the house of Henry Correll, at
Race and Juniper streets, broke the windows, and
assaulted the occupant. They were committed to
answer.

The ship Sea Crest (Br], from Liverpool, before re*
ported aground n*ar the Shears, has so settled in the
sand, during the gale of Friday last, that her rails and
hatches are under water. Two or three schooner loads
