had examined the accounts Of the Treasurer,
and found them correct. Various bills were
read and orders directed to be drawn for the
respec i've amounts. DR.. Quinby suggested that
fifteen MINUTES were not sufficient time for the
children to assemble at the schools. Very fire..
quently quite large number of children col
lected before the doors were opened and IL
was unwise to keep them standing out when
the weather is wet and cold. Mr.. Gawthrop
alluded 10 the practice Of shuttipg the doors
and excluding children who wore moment
too late. Mr. Messenger stated that on one oc-
casion he noticed twelve small children run
ming up Walnut Street, when the bell rang, and
yet the doors were shut in their faces. DR..
Quinby moved that the teachers be instructed
10 open the doors of the schools half an hour
before the session commences. Rev. Mr. Cole
man remarked that he thought fifteen minutes
were amply sufficient for children to get into
schools if the doors were opened for that Pc
ried of time. After considerable discussion DR..
Quinby modified his motion to open the doors
twenty minutes before nine O'Clock, and to
ring the bell Eve minutes before nine in order
that the children should assemble before the
session commences. Mr.. Porter remarked that
the question was a very important one and he
regretted that all the members of the Board
were not present. He suggested that the doors
be opened at fifteen minutes before nine and
the bell be rung ten minutes before that hour.
Rev. Mr. Coleman moved Tia { the visiting
committees be instructed to call the ate Ltion
of teachers TO tie rule requiring them to be
present fifteen minutes before nine, and to
ring the bell at that Time. On motion the mat
ter was postponed until next meeting.
Mr.. Messenger inquired If person residing
out OF tho city could send child to our
schools. 1t was remarked that the rule exclu-
ded all such cases.

for seats in school No. 10. Mr.. Gawthrop re-
| marked by erecting an addition to the house,

tant teachers, could be accommodated.

motion commute were appointed to inquire
Into the propriety of providing further school
