ing outside the city had corresponded with
1.-The Superintendent in reference to get
ting his daughter into the High School, ,and
Is exceedingly anxious to get her there, ,and
proposes to pay therefore sum of money
equal to or greater than the estimated cost
of education per capita, in the High
School. The gentleman, he said, was
lMrE. d. Cleaver, of Delaware City. He
moved that No. Committee be autho-
rized to admit the applicant, upon the
payment of such sum as may be agreed
, upon, and in conformity with the other
rules governing the schools.
Mr.. Baird thought the adoption OF the
system would establish precedent which
j. cause trouble in the future.

not be entertained. as il was in violation
of State law.

assertion made that not only children
from the country but children from Phila-
delnhia. attended our schools. He thought
