PUBLIC SCHOOL MEETING

pREVIOUS notice having been given, the
"A teachers and number of the trustees Of
the Westminster public schools assembled in
Central Hall, on the evening of Friday, the
l4th instant, for the purpose of securing con.
cert Of action in executing the plan adopted
for all graded schools in Carroll county.
After having discussed the necessity of
grading all large public schools as the law de
reefs, and having carefully considered the
merits of the plan adopted, in which all the
teachers and trustees present seemed to con.
cur, Mr.. Charles I. Reifsnider submitted a
resolution, which, after having been fully dis.
cussed and amended, was adopted without a
dissenting voice, as follows:
"Resotped, That no public school nunil
shall be permitted to change his or her at.
tendance from any one public school to an.
other without the written consent Of the
teachers to be affected by such change, such
written consent to be endorsed by majority
of the trustees Of the two schools thus afiec.
ted
The effect of this resolution, if fully obsery.
ed by all concerned, viii be to con6ne each
pupil to his or her own proper grade, so as TO
secure TO all the most rap progress possible
IN thorough knowledge through the lower
grades to the highest A pupil having been
properly enrolled in one grade, cannot, at his
own option, withdraw from one school and
enter another, or go to any other public
school teacher without the concurrent per.
mission of each teacher affected by the pro.
posed change.
The spirit of the resolution accords with the
law; and the principle involved in il applies
as well to all the ungraded schools in the
county; SO that pupil living within the
bounds Of one public school district In the
county, cannot go to public school in an
other district unless with the concurrent per
mission Of all the trustees and teachers, or a
majority of those on each side who will be af-
fected by a withdrawal from one school 10
enter another.

BURNT REcoRDs.-It is no longer conceal.
ed, even in the regular Washington press
dispatches, that there are suspicious that the
Patent Office FIRE was the result of design,
that the incendiary piled the torch in order to
conceal the evidences of crime. The Presi-
dents commission, it is suspected, was ap-
pointed in order to investigate this very mat
ter, and the charge is that the weak point in
the Interior Department was the Indian
Bureau. We trust that this matter will be
more successfully investigated than the late
fires ct the Navy. Department, but we have
not many hopes 10 the matter.
