| Mr.. Mitchell objected to that portion Of the
report abolshing the State Street School. and
be at some length urged the necessity Of Its
retention, both on the score of economy and
humanity az the school was situated in an or
phan asylum and the board was not called on
for rent, and it was the only source from which
| at least seventy orphans could obtain an educa-
ton.
The board refused to sustain his objections,
but Mr., Handy, who voted with the majority,
gave notice that at the next meeting he would
| move a reconsideration. .
/ The report was then adopted. rs above. with
the exception III that portion fixing the grades
Of the schools, which was recommitted Tor the
| further consideration and action of the COM
| mittee.
A communication was received from ].
| Strausse, requesting payment OF achers GER
ti1cates for 1877. Referred to the committee on
| finance. M@.
Mr. Swarbrick moved that the names of the
Fillmore and Barracks Schools be changed to
/ MeDonogh Nos. 10 and IA respectively. be
suggested that the change be made In recogni.
/ ton of the fact that the schools were erected
/ out of the McDonogh fund. The motion was
! lost.
The board adjourned until Wednesday even.
| ing next.
