WORCESTER CITY AND COUNTY.

THE WEATHER,-We have been blessed
during the last three days with the most de-
ightful Winter weather imaginable; and the
excellence of the sleigoing has added not lit
tie to the enjoyment of the clear, braclng at
mosphere The streets have been thronged
with pedestrians, which, with the jingle of the
merry, merry bells, has given the business part
of the city a lively and animated appearance.
MEETING OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The second monthly meeting of the School
Board was held last evening. The reports of
visiting committees indicated an attendance
which has never before been equalled in the
public schools of the city. In the Grammar
Schools of the Center District, according to
a statement of the Secretary, there are 631
scholars, with seats for only 572. In the Sec
ondary Schools, there are 625 scholars, with
seats for 602 only. The Primary Schools
number 1415 scholars, while 1418 could find
accommodations. The crowded state of the
schools has necessitated the establishment of a
new Secondary School in Ash street, on which
Messrs. Harris and Stone were appointed the
visiting committee. Preliminary steps were
also taken for re-estabishing a Secondary
School on Front street.
1t was voted that the afternoon sessions of
the schools in the centre district, commence
hereafter at o'clock P. M.
The question of ventilation was discussed at
length, and the Prudential Committee was ar-
thorized to take such practicable measures as
will ensure the proper ventilation of all the
school rooms of the centre district. And on
motion of Mr.. t. X. Earle, Messrs. Earle,
Harding and Workman were appointed to draft
rules of instruction for teachers on the subject.
Rev. Mr. Faunce, from the committee on
the subject of introducing the study of music
in the public schools, made a verbal report,
recommending the expenditure of sum not
exceeding 500, for the purpose Of teaching
the elements of music in the Grammar and
Secondary schools of the centre district. The
recommendation was adopted.
