the average daily attendance by l47,

than for the month of September. l
can account for this diminution in at
tendance only on the ground that the
weather being unusually fine during the
month of October for outdoor enjoy
ments, parents were disposed to indulge
their children by allowing them to be
absent from school for purposes OF
recreation and pleasure.
i would respectfully recommend the
appointment by the Board of stand
ing committee, to be known as the
''Visiting committee" to consist of one
member from each sub-district. 1t
should be made the duty of such COM
mittee tsvisit the schools of the Dis
trict as often as once in each term, and
report to the Board such matters OF
interest as may come under their obser-
walton, or such as may demand atten-
ton. Boards of Education in other
cities, perhaps without exception,
have their Visiting committees; and
the reports of these committees are Of
ten replete with matters of interest and
Importance relating to the schools. The
leading motive which i have in recon-
mending the appointment of this COM
mittee at this time is, that members
may have, from personal observation, a
better knowledge of the real character
of our schools. know full well that
the schools of Wheeling. in the facili-
ties which they offer for acquiring a
thorough English education, compare
favorably with those of the other cities.
Yet it is by no means rare occurrence,
for persons who ought to be better in
formed, and, if they would, might be
better informed, to speak disparagingly
of the schools of Wheeling as compared,
with those of other cities.
1t affords me pleasure to state that
the teachers of the District have or
ganized an Association, known as "The
Wheeling Teachers Association" The
meetings of the society are held on the
second Saturday of each school month.
The members of the Board of Education
are, by provision of the by laws, con-
stituted honorary members. / hope
that the school officers of the city will,
as often as practicable, encourage the
teachers by being present at their meet
ings.
/ have placed with your Clerk certain
adopted by meeting of
teachers, which l hope may have the re-
spectful and candid attention of the
Board. Respectfully submitted,

B6S lHat tne congress is likely W
act favorably on the bill to withdraw the
issues of the National Bank, and substi-
tute greenbacks as the currency of the
country seems probable, from the fact
that the resolution Of Mr.. Ross, instruct
ing the committee on banks and cur
rency to report such a bill was received
with favor, the House rejecting motion
to lay the resolution on the table by l0l
to 81. Such vote could not have been
had if the House was not strongly in the
mood to pass the bill, which, if passed,
will be measure of reform and re-
trenchment the amount of twenty
five millions at least, and prove Of
infinite service to the business Of the
country. The resolution to instruct the
committee to pass the bill was adopted
without calling the yeas and nays. Such
an indication of public sentiment by the
House can hardly be without its effect
on the Senate, and the adoption of
measures in this line of policy will at
once reinvigorate and renew the bust
ness life of the country From all indi.
cations in the action of Congress and the
tone of the pressawe are now hopeful
that there may be vote to redeem the
fve.twenties in greenbacks. If, as is
estimated by some shrewd and calcu-
lating statesmen, the present business Of
the country will warrant a circulation Of
one thousand millions, there will be no
disastrous injury by initiation consequent
on this measure, which will have an
almost inconceivable effect to revive the
prosperity Of the country, and appreciate
prices of staples and real estate to their
fair and reasonable intrinsic values.
The farmer, the merchant and laboring
man will all begin then to thrive together.
To the passage Of sucha bill there is
but one antagonist argument relied on
by its opponents. And that is that the
honor Of the country is involved in the
redemption of those bonds in gold. That
argument is met by the fact that gold |
was never promised for them, but that
on the contrary they were sold by the
Government when greenbacks were legal
tender for all debts, public and private
and known to be so by the purchasers.
The demand of gold by the bondholders,
who purchased with greenbacks when
one dollar in gold would buy two in that
paper, is unconscionable; and the people
see it So 1t is demand for Partially
and preference TO which they are not
entitled; demand Of gold for the spec
ulators aud paper for the people; a de-
mand for double pay for their claims and |
exemption from taxation at the same
time And it makes one half the prop |
erty holders Of the country pay all its
debts, after making them double what
they ought to be. II It was true that the
contract Of the Government obliged it 10 |
such hard terms, that contract ought to
be executed. But since il is not true,
but the contrary, it is not likely the peo-
pie viii vote unnecessarily to Cypress
themselves. The gold bonds will be
redeemed 10 currency, and then we shall
have a revival Of business aud benefit
10 all interests and classes except the |
bondholders, spectators and shavers,
Who will themselves be deprived Of moth |
ing to which they are justly entitled.
