Mrs. Tyler, widow of the ex- president,
and the only woman who ever married ID

which thirty years ago made her belle of
the capital.
Thus talks an old farmer about his
boys: From sixteen to twenty they knew
more than did; at twenty-five they knew
as much; at thirty they were willing to

asked my advice; and | think when they
get to Be forty they will acknowledge that
the old man does know something"

1t was suggested that c,Ie sITTint
mcnt of board of trustees by the
patrons might not he praciicatle
and harmonious, as there already
existed IA regular constituted Board
of Trustees for that institution.
After an expression of views OH the
subject, it was resolved to appoint
committee of six to confer with
the trustees and arrange matters SO
that the laws regulating schools
might be compErd with and the
patrons of the institu. ion might
avail themselves Of the benefit of
the public school fund, TO which
they are entitled, and report the re-
suit of their conference to Il meet
ing of the patrons. to be held at
the &C deny on Monday at 5
o'clock r."!.
According to the lights b fore US,
We do not think the old hoard of
Trustees should he puncti.ious in
this matter and sh u1lld not insis;
upon exercising the cOntIol of the
practical Operksions OF this school.
They have not of late reserved sucI
powers, the building has been rent
ed for school purposes, but we are
not aware that they have received
amy authority of the schdoFs as
trustees. Wenow understand that
they have given the use OF the
building for a fe!aa.e school free
Tor Eve months. The school is now
in full operation under the auspices
of Prof. Magruder, with two com
petent female assistants, and the
question now before the patrons is,
shall they comply with the law Ivy
f:om their number boar d
of trus. ees and convert the institu-
tion into a public school in order
that they may obtain their pro rata
of the school fund, and foster aid
in our midst an institution
for the education of rlreir 'chifeecen
The question before the board OF
tr~srees 70 consider is, will they en-
courage and lend helping hand to
such an enterprise or will they arbi
trarily demand the right fO exercise
the trusteeship of Fire school and
impair its usefulness? X.
