regular meeting in the East Tennessee Institute
yesterday, Prof Butler in the chair Prayer
was offered by Rev DIR. Humes
The Chairman of the Committee on organi-
zation of Public Schools being absent no re-
port was made, and no action could be taken
The Committee appointed to confer with the
City Board as to the feasibility of establishing
free schools in the city reported throcgh their
Chairman, DR. Humes, that no definite result
had been reached as yet. They awaited the
report of the Committee on the plan of organi-
zaton which committed had not vet reported
DR. Humcs read a letter from Rev DR.
Sears, stating that if three thousand dollars
were raised by the city for free schools, one
thousand would be added to it from the Pea
body fund; but that he preferred that nine
thousand dollars should be raised in which
case two thousand would be added from the
Peabody fund this last amount having been
raised for the city once before, when there was
an attendance ofovcr eleven hundred pupils in
our city free schools.
Prof Butler made report in reference to
the correspondence held with several teachers
concerning the proposed convention The re-
sponscs being SO generally favorable, it WIS
