A number of communications were re-

The following report was presented:
New ORLEANS, November 8, 1875.
To the Board Of Directors Of Public Schools:
Your committee to whom was referred
the matter of F. A. Golden, principal Of the
Marshall School, respectfully reports that
meeting Of the committee was held on Sat.
urdsy, the thirtieth ultimo. The parents of
young Meyer were summoned to attend, to-
gether with the accused. Mr.. Meyer failed
to come. though he is reported to have said
he had had enough of investigations, hav-
ing failed to establish his charge of assault
and battery before a jury in the First Dis.
trict Court. Mr.. Golden came before the
committee with number OF witnesses, who
all agreed to Gel tain facts.
l. Thepunishment inflicted upon young
Meyer was merely nominal. the instru-
ment used was the broken end of small
whalebone cane, about fifteen inches long.
=. That the most serious struggle between
the teacher and pupil was ocessioned BY
the attempt of Mr. Golden 10 compel the
raftef the boy yislded, and fn0f before, one
light blow was struck on his, hand. o.,
80 8. II ia alleged that after the occurrence
of the affair in the school the father of the
boy gave him severe castigatiOn for some
otfense not stated, and it is barely possible
that the marks of which we have heard
were the result of this paternal discipline.
Your committee believe it to be the duty
of the board to sustain the teachers in all
proper and ordinary methods. of enforcing
discipline in the schools, and when it is
found that parents refuse to permit their
children to be punished for violation of
rules estabi shed tQr the good Of all, they
should be perempt0rily requested TO with
draw pupilt, who will not behave them
selves properly, from the schools.
Your committee find that the accused
teacher has been released from bonds, and
relieved from blame by Q jury in a court of
competent Jurisdiction, and we have every
reason to believe the verdict was properly
rendered. rFrf 81 &.
The report was adopted.
