FHEREAs, The Public Schools wer'
Nlabished for the benefit of the whole
by, aud have been 80 conducted in th,
ket as TO command the support of tn
Nnole community. Nothing should b
phe not0 that would attach to them III
.he Of Ragged Schools" "Bab,
hOOls," or schools for the Poor,
thus lose for the future the advan
Mes hitherto gained.
}. The Schools could be only PARTIAL
Mined at the present time, which woul
me great dissatisfaction TO those ex
t'sded, and thus moro complaint woul
bably be caused than if they wei
alirely suspended.
The Board having possession {
nepc Of the Public School Houses, pre-
ion Of suitable rooms would be yer
apensive, probably exhausting a cor
Nqerable part Of the resources that ca
nlsonable be expected for the ensniD
"a,
4. The remainder of the Fund
nand and in prospect, could NOT supper
u Schools for more than or month
aah the abandonment Of the temporal
a1poOl houses would involve the almoI
va loss of such improvements.
r. While If the Fund 10 allowed TO q
Emulate, and if every effort DO mat
increase il by collecting rent for d
sehool houses used as hospitals, al
pt,k taxes; in case the Board can ear
* year secure possession of the puI
n buildings, the schools can be orga
,aed upon their old basis, and success
My carried on for the remainder
ll'o year.
Therefore Resolved,
lst That In view Of all the cirouI
tAnces Of the case, the Board Of Ed
@uon lind Il inexpedient 10 open I
pblic Schools on the ensuing first
