New YORK, January 19.-At meeting OF
the Board of Education in Brook YIN this
afternoon, the committee appointed to de.
mand from Henry Ward Beecher proof of
the statement which he made in his New
Years sermon in regard to the public
schools of Brooklyn, made their report,
which congratulated the Board on the
happy termination Of the quarrel by Beech
er's retraction.
One member declared the report was
adding insult TO injury. Beecher's state
ment had been spread broadcast, and no
denial of the statements made. There was
no such word as regret, and there was no
knowing but that Beecher still believed in
the truth of his statement.
The report was not accepted, nor was the
committee discharged. and the whole sub
ject was laid on the table for further con-
sideration.
