Mayor Wallach, and Messrs Wilson, Rhees,

deep regret on account of Mr.. Miller's pro-

20 his usefulness and efficiency as a trustee
He was urged to recall his resignation, at least

union was adopted to lay the resignation on
the table.
MI Clark offered a resolution requiring the
teacher of vocal music in the schools to con-
nne himself TO teaching the science of music.
and that no concerts shall be given by the
: hools without the special consent OF the
Is, ard of Trustees.
Ir. Clark said that the science of music il
rot taught in the schools, and regarded the
present mode OF instruction a waste Of money
HLd The time OF the pupils. He objected to the
TINE lost IN learning children to sing pieces by
ear iCr concert purposes. He did not object to
the professor, nor TO teaching music in the
schools but simply to the present mode, which
ne regarded As an abuse. Prof. D-uiel him
self had expressed his desire To pursue a plan
which would impart to the scholars a knowI-
edge OF the science, but the Board of Trustees
expected him to get mp the concerts.
MesSTs. Brown, Woodward and others diff
1errd from Mr.. Clark, and cOntended that the
science Is now taught in the schools Mr.
Brown had examined the pupils in several
schools and found them remarkably proficient
IN the science.
The resolution was referred to the commit
tee on ' Ocal music; and the board adjourned
