NEW SCHooL-HoUsEs.-Th Committee
on Property of the Board of Control met yester-
day afternoon, to consider how and in what
manner it would be best to procure suitable
plans for new school-houses. With the view of
eliclting the views of others, the Committee in
vites the presence of the Committee on Schools
OF Councils and all the architects of the city.
The principal design seemed TO be the mode of
drawing into fair competition all the skill and
tale mt which Philadelphia can command. The
great difficulty which has operated in the past
most in uriously has been the risk which each
architect ran in having his plan rejected, and
thus being at loss OF time, labor, and expense
without compensation. To remedy this it is
suggested that each architect appointed by the
Committee should be paid certain sum for his
plans, which should be the property of the
Board-a sum equal to the amount which the
same actually cOst-and the architect presenting
the plan best approved should be the architect
OF the building. THIS was the suggestion of
Edward Shippen, ESQ.,, who said it had been
adopted in the case ofthe Burd Orphan Asylum,
and proved a wise one, and met with the ap.
proval of all the architects. The subject of
school buildings, it seems, will receive the most
careful attention of the Committee on Propertv.
and we are glad to find we have so good pros
pect of school-houses worthy Of the name and a
credit to the city.

Most of those present had been associated with
