DEAR Son. Y our attention is in
vited 10, tho following action OF the
Stale Board OF education nj regard to
the por capita Of tho white and col
cred common schools and of the I.rac p
tical operation OF tho latter for the
prescott school year, in virtue OF the
act entitled "An act in relation te the
common schools OF this Common
wealth, providing .Jr tho levy ofan
additional tax, and a submission OF
same to the people," chapter l42l,
approved April Oath, 1882. IS
& The opinion OF the board AZ to the
State per capita, and its decision In
res ard to tho conduct of the oolorcd
schools, arc. based on the construction
Of said act by the Attorney General:
THAT the State Der -capita will
be maintained at 81 30.
2. Length of terms, course OF study,
and payment ofieachers of colorcti
schools, will correspond with those OF
the white schools.
3. Textbooks for colored SCHOOL,
will remain, until otherwise ordered.
the same rs those prescribed for the
course OF study aud the extended
course of study for the colored
schools, adding Webster Primary
Dictionary.
A. The, qualification Of colored
teachers win be The samo as those for
the white teachers, but those holding
certificates for the present school
year, may continue 10 hold them, pro-
: vifed they are at all competent
TO soIduct school or the particular
schools IN which they may BIO respec-
lively employed.
Tho Inference Is clear and conclus-
I've hthat the purpose Of the act in
question, equalizing tho State per
capita for the benefit of the colorcd
pupil children Of the Commonwealth,
is to eqnallzc, so far rs may be prac.
ticable, the condition and requirements
of both classes of schools, white and

Mr.. E. b. Hay, as solicitor for John Hanc >ck and
wife, has filed an answer in the recent suit
brought by Samuel G. Reid, alleging Gro ,ked work
in real.esate transaction The defendants deny
that any acquaintance existed between them and
the plaintfIs prior to the negotiations, and claim
that the fact OF a relationship existing between
John Hancock, tho defendant, and an older
brother has nothing TO do with the subject, except
that II was inserted and extensively published for
malicious purposes. They deny that they ro.
quested the plaintiff, Josephine r. Reid, TO pur:
chase the property, l0l7 Connecticut avenue, aud
claim that Samuel G. Reid made the first inquiry
When Mrs. Reid drew her check for the
first installment of the purchase money!
the defendant. John Hancock, assured
her that the legal title was still
in William Thompson. They deny that they ever
earnestly induced Mrs. Reid to purchase the
property, or represented that Mr.. Hancock was
owner of the same and compelled to sell It at less
than its market value to pay Off certain Hens that
had matured. The installment of $1,000 was paid
by Mrs. Reid with the knowledge of the agree
ment made between Augusta Hancock and Fitch,
Fox ~ Brown aud the decd from William Thomp-
son to her The bill denies generally the alleen-
tions made by the plaintiffs, aud claim that they
understood all the arrangements in reference TO
the encumbrance of the property nnd had them
fully explained They ask the coutt TO compel
the plaintiffs to carry out the original agreement
aud complete the purchase.
