GERMAN.AMERICAy SCHOOL ASSOCIATION

Last evening" at L1ederkranz Hail, this association
composed OF 161 delegates from societies in all the
wards OF the city, held Its regular monthly meeting
for February. The President Mr.. Willy Wallach,
being absent from the city, the first vice president
Mr.. +. " curing, took the chair. The secretary Dr.
w. l.. Landsberg, read the minutes OF the January
meeting, and they were approved. At roll call It
was found tnat some Of the delegates from the
Sixth, Ninth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth wards did
not answer to their names. DR.. Boettcher reported
that in Cherry street petition In circulation to
the Board OF Education among the Chinese nhabi-
tants OF the neighbOrhood, asking for the lntroduc-
ton OF the Chinese language as q regular branch OF
was received with much merriment. Mr.. Benedict
Stern. or the Twenty second ward. resigned his
position as member OF the Finance Committee
Mr.. NJ. Ellinger on benalf OF the Committee Of Cor
respondence submitted a draft OF an appeal to the
school societies OF the wards to have petitions cir
cuated for signature to the School Trustees OF the
wards for the introduction OF the German language
in pursuance or the resolutions passed by Board
or Education In this respect that "wnenever su1-
for 1t the instruction OF that language should
be introduced. Mr.. Muir spoke In very earnest
terms on the proceedings in the last meeting OF the
Board OF Education, and especially the offensive
remarks OF Mr.. Wood. Dr. Gehrke replied Tnat the
proceedings mentioned were only remarks OF
single member OF the Board, and as they bore the
character OF schoObOy's fun they did not merit
any earnest attention. After others had spoken Dr.
Herzberg called attention the uncertainty OF the
number OF parents,n &c. What was a sufficient
number?" he asked, and claimed that with this
nothing at all had yet been gained. The trustees
might declare any number be 1t ever so large
as ''insufilcient." He wanted the clause more dls-
tlnctly Defined and the number fixed Dy the Board,
and he moved that such request be made. This
motion was declared out OF order for the present.
and after other speeches vote was taken ana the
appeal as reported by the committee was not
adopted but substitute, moved Dy Mr.. Otterbourg
was carried, that the new paragraph OF the school
ordinances be communicated to the ward presidents
by the officers OF the General Committee with re-
quest TO do everything in their power TO the
benefits they provide. desultory debate followed
with an appeal from the decision OF the Chair, and
1t ended in reconsideration OF the ABOVE vote The
substitute was then defeated and the report OF the
committee adopted. After some routine business

proved, after which Mr. Ii. w. Johnson, counsel to

DR.. CARNoCHAN, Health O1lcer, called the atten-
