The Free Schools.

The Commissioners of Free Schools, at
their meeting on Monday last, reduced the
number of poor scholars from seven to six
for each school. This WAS found necessary
on account of the increased number of 10.
cations, amounting nowto fifty. And there
will, most probably, be other schools loca-
ted at future meetings of the board.
The number of schools located last year
was lifty-two, which, when compared with
the locations thus far the present year,
shows gratifying increase in number
We also very chcerfully testify to the pro.
fcciency of the teachers.
