The following resolves, introduced by Mr..
Hale were unanimously passed by the Board:
Resolved, That this Board disapproved of the
proposition now before the Legislature of this
State to prescribe uniformity Of text books for
the public schools of the State, believing that
this plan, whenever it has been tried has lnlur-
ed rather than benftted the schools we thlnR
it is uncailed for at this time by the best inter-
ests of education, and that it is not calculated
to promote the efficiency and success OF our
school system. :.
Pesolred That it is the sense of the commit
fee that the true intent and meaning OF the
CIRCULATION of School Committee, 1872, relat-
inc to omitted lessons recited out of school
hours. is that such recitations may be marked
at the discretion of the principals Of the seve-
raj schools.
Ordered, That the principals of the several
schools be and they hereby are directed to re-
port to the committee in charge of their respec-
tive schools the names of all pupils who shall
leave the school building during the session
without the permission of the teacher, or who
shall absent themselves from the schools for
the purpose of attending school exercises else
where
OrdeTed-That the secretary be instructed to
secure the enforcement of that general rule of
the board that "No child whose residence is not
in the city, OF who has only temporary residence
in it for the purpose of attending the public
schools, shall be received or retained in any
school,"
The Score larry was directed to notify tie
teachers that it would be agreeable to the COM
mittee to have samples of drawing in the sew
eral schools left at the committee room for the
