MIR. Pyle, from the Committee on No.
l School, moved that the committee
be authorized, in issuing tickets for the
commencement at the Opera House, to
give the holders the privilege of exchang-
ing their admission tickets for reserved
seat tickets on payment Of ten cents.
Messrs. johnson, Furry and Heisler
opposed the motion on the ground that
the change would destroy the free public
character of these entertainments, and
cause ill-feeling among the friends of the
schools.
Messrs. Shortlidge and Baird favored
the motion. believing it would tend to
the convenience of those in attendance,
and also meet the expenses of the COM
mencement.
The motion was adopted by the follow
ing vote:
Ayes Messrs. Baird, Belts, Davidson
Ferris, Kendall, Morrow, Price, Pyle,
Reynolds, Shortlidge and President
Buck-11.
Nays Messrs. Curry, Furry, Heisler,
johnson, Lally, Palmer, Ruth and Pyle

Mr.. Reynolds moved the appointment
of a committee of three to revise the
course of studies in the public schools.
In supporting this motion, Prof. Rey-
nolds stated that upon examination he
found the studies in the primary schohls
divided into twelve grades, occupying six
years in the grammar schools, eight
grades, occupying four years-making a
course of studies ten years in duration
before the pupil could be admitted to
School No. /. Therefore, children en-
tering the schools at six years of age
could not reach No. until they were
sixteen. In the New Y ork public schools
the grades were ten in number, occupy
ing but seven years. He thought by
revision of the course OF studies at least
two years in time could be saved, which,
of course, would result in pecuniary
saving to the Board.
The motion was adopted, and on mo-
ton of DR.. Shortledge the subject of i re-
vision of the bylaws was referred to the
same committee. The committee, as ap-
pointed by the chair, was composed of
Messrs. Reynolds, Shortledge and Pyle.
