MEETING OF THE SCHOOL BoARDs.-Ihe
Boards of tho several school DISTRICTS ID TIE
city met at the Superintendent Office, last
evening present, the County Superintendent,
and Messrs. Burke oil Snowden District Whit.
tington and Hopkins of Gusts District {; Wiz
mer, Addison, and j. s. Beach of HaIlowell
District and s.. F. Beach. Blackburn, ard
and WhittIesey, of Washington District.
The County Superintendent read a letter
from the Superintendent of Public Instruc.
ton, iu which authority was given for a united
action of all the city boards, by unanimous
consent whertupon, it being the opinion OF
all present that euch action would greatly sub
serve the pub IL interest. it was unanimously
decided, by each board separately, to have
teachers elected &c. by all the boards acllng
together. Mr.. Addison, one of the committee
appointed at a former meeting, to select sulta-
bic school rooms, then made q report, and
other rooms having been named, a preference
was expressed for certain locations and the
committee was iostruc ted 10 express that pref
erencs TO the Committee Of the City Councll,
| and to request that the Washington School
| house, one of the places selected, should be
| divided into three ROOMS il the Washington
| Free School was continued. or into two it it
WIS not, Git being stated that the City Council
| would. probably, withdraw its appropriation
for that school.)
1t was then ordered that an election Tor
teachers OF colored schools be held, at the SUI
| perintendent's Office, On the evening OF the
3OtE of December, and TOR teachers ct white
| schools, on the evening OF j January the 81. 1t
was also decided TO have seven schools for col.
| ored children, the teachers to be paid the
same prices as il the white schools.
AT the request Of several trustees, the Coun-
ty Superintendent then read a list OF persons
who had been licensed to teach in the public
| schools, and of candidates for examination, and
the opinion was generally expressed that,
other things being equal, persons now teaching,
or having taught successfully, should be pre-.
| ferred in the selection OF teachers. The Super
intendent promised to lay before the board a
synopsis OF his examinations. with such other
