have been active and working. members Of the
Board Of Directors for series Of years. and with
out any other reward than the consciousness Of

led their fine and labor to give efficiency to the
system BY the adoption Of every improvement in
the rules and regulations suggested by experience,
and bv guarding with unsvearied vigilance against
avery abuse, and in short by doing every thing
within the scope of their powers to elevate the
character Of the schools, and to deepen and widen
the fountains Of intelligence and virtue that flow
from them. have abundant and inst cause to he

Oldest and hest regulated systems now in existence
in our own or. we believe in any other country on
the face Of the earth. We doubt if there could be
found at The ,nresent moment within the hounds Of
the Second Munieinalitv or IN the c,tv. a solitary
enemy 10 the system. In the recent Municinal
elections il 1vas gratifying tn NOTE with 1vba, veal
and earnestness both the contendinq parties urqed

ground of their friendship to the Public Schools !:
and though the system itself may, like all other
human institutions. be rendered more perfect and
more effective for good. bv the exercise of that
wisdom which is taught alone by experience, vet
we believe il is npossible that these schools can
ever be increased in public favor.
The gentlemen most distinguished as the foun.
ders Of The SYSTEM and who have contributed most
to bring it 10 its present high state Of perfection
have now ceased to have any further connection
with its practical administration and they may
never again occupy any public station in the MUM
cipal government which will afford them an oppor-
tunity to take part in the management Of the Pub.
lie Schools, but they must continue to flourish and
prosper, and to constitute the chief glory of New
