NEW ORLEANS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER IA, 1875

present board; not by the same individual
directors, but by the present legal o-ganlza-
ton. During that time the schools have
gradually but certainly and percePibly i'm
proved. To-day there are more pupils IN the
schools than ever before; the course of studies
is higher; the grade of many of our schools
has been raised, and we have all in all, the
best schools in the South. During this period
we have maintained these schools at a much
less cost in proportion, than was done before
the accession of the present board. To the
truth of these statements We challenge inves-
tigatlon.
In the nature of things there is more or
less dissatisfaction attending the annual cleo
ton of teacher. All those who are elected
and their friends are satisfied; those who are
not elected and their friends are not satisfied.
To the latter class the board stands in an IN
favorable light.
Nevertheless S, it may be that the teachers
coming in, as corpe, are better qualified than
their predecessors We assert without fear
of successful contradiction, that in this
regard the service has been improved from
wear to year under the present administra-
| ton of the schools. The board may have
made and may yet make mistakes and may
correct them, and yet not be justly subject to
! the wholesale denunciation to which they
now make this respectful reply
| 1t was adopted.
On the motion of Bourges the action re-
jecting the report of the Committee on Rules
| and Discipline was reconsidered, and the re-
port was adopted. The adoption of the re-
port changes the time of examination of the
schools from December to June.
| By resolution of the Committee on Supplies
the sum of S2l20 was appropriated tor the
purchase of 1000 barrels of coal.
| Mr. Lynch offered a resolution providing
| for committee to take into consideration
the matters in the report Of Superintendent
potency of teachers.
Dumont moved to postpone, and Pinch
back took the occasion to make a speech.
He objected to postponement. He wanted
the committee appointed, for the purpose
first of finding out whether or not there were
incompetent teachers and, second, how
Eoothby stood.
He spoke at considerable length, but the
above is all he said.
Dumont withdrew his motion to postpone
and the resolutions we're csrried.
The chair appointed Lynch, Tracy and
Glaudin.
