The New school House.

At the adjourned meeting of the Board
of Education on last Monday night, a free
interchange of views upon the subject of
the proper location for the new school
house was heard, and some new facts
were elected. The members of the School
Committee of the City Council were
present by invitation.
Il was decided that the question of the
adoption of a location for the building
should be postponed until the expiration of
the thirty days, within which lots in the
tenth ward may, in accordance with the
amendment to the bill, be rendered. This
time expires on the 26th inst, and the Board
adjourned to meet on the night of that day.
In the meantime the Secretary of the
Board is directed to communicate with
parties offering lot, and learn definitely
the terms upon which they propose TO pre-
sent it to the city; and also to obtain from
the School Committee of the City Council
some indication of the probable amount
they viii spend for the erection Of build
ing if it be placed in the Tenth ward. The
amendment to the bill appropriating $4,000
leaves il to the discretion of the School
Committee what part Of it shall be used.
