CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Board of Education was held last evening,
all the members present except Messrs.
Hammer and Goodhue, absent on account of
sickness.
Miss Deitrick, teacher Of penmanship, sp-
peared before the Board, and, upon being
interrogsted by President Tracy, said she
mentioned but one firm of stationers to
the scholars on the first day of the present
school year, from which writing books could
be obtained.
Mr.. Tracy said this, under the rules, was
improper discrimination in favor of partiou-
lar firm.
Miss Deitrick explained that the practice
books for the study of penmanship were only
plain paper, placed in covers to preserve the
scholars work, which was very desirable.

manship in the classes of the fourth grade be
