Registrar of Philadelphia, in regard
to the prevalence of the smallpox
in Camden, the following reply has
been received:
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 81, 1880.
E. B. FRAzER-Dear Sir: Yours
of yesterday at hand, and in reply !
would state that the smallpox is
moving all over Camden quite live
ly, and in fact we are getting few
cases in our city.
The mortality in Camden has
been rather high in consideration of
the number of cases.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
THE QUESTION OF Co-EDUCArIoN LAID
OVER FOR TWO WEEKS.

Ahh W hoIiON OF CO-hDUCATION LAID
OVER FOR TWO WEEKS.
The Board of Education met last even-
ing in regular session, and in the ab-
sence of President Conrad, Mr.. Kenny
was called to the char.
Tie chair stated that the first business
before the Board was the question of CO.
education, which had been postponed
from time to time.
= In ord sr to bring the subject properlv
befoIe the Board,D DR.. Grimshaw thought
that the report of the committee should
be read.
Mr.. Baird said that the subject did
moi belong to committee, as IT was
a resolution, and was the property of
the Board. If he understood the matter
rightly,it was not intended to co-educate
tie scholars in the High School, but
only in the grades Immediately above
the primary dep artments. BY so doing
he thought the Board could save money.
and ca n more seats in the schools.
Or. Grimshaw was opposed to the
resolution. He did not believe in CO.
education. He did not think that any
man who espoused the calse of co-edu-
cation could be elected member of the
Board. He believed that the great mass
of our citizens were opposed to the
measure. He thought the reason given
by Mr.. Baird, in regard to saving money
aud giving more seats, was a very bad
reason TO advance for the adoption of
the resolution.
On motion of Mr.. Hazlett, the further
consideration of the matter was post
poned for two weeks.
The subject of printing the revision
Of studies vas postponed for two weeks.
The report was read aud recommends
more attention to spelling and defini-
tions; that writing be taught every day;
that elementary grammar be taught
every day in 8, 10, II and 12 grades !;
that rhetoric and composition be substi-
tuted for Latin in the High School, and
that triganOmetry be striken out of the
course in the Girls High School.
A petition was read from NJ. L. Lich-
tenstein and others asking that German
be tau hit in the High Schools.
Patrick Mealey was elected janitor of
No. 10.
Repairs were ordered at Nos. 15, 4
and IL.
The Secretary was instructed to ad.
rtise for prop osals for glazing.
On motion adjourned.

THE GOLD SEEKERS ADMoN1sHED.
