RICHMOxD's SCHOOLS.
Monthly Meeting or the Board-The
bad boy Considered.

The regular meeting of the City School
Board was held in the High-School
building yesterday afternoon at 6 O'Clock.
Present Hon. j. Taylor EllysoD, Hon.
William Loyenstein, DR.. y. p. Moore,
r. I. Briggs, A. l.. Phillips, T. Wiley
Davis, William H. Williams, George
Bryan John B. Cary, superintendent ;
G. p. Rady, clerk.
superintendent John B. Cary sub
mitted his monthly report showing the
condition of the public schools for the
past month. Principals, 10 teachers,
189; schools, 224; enrolment for the
month, 8, 74S; average attendance, 3, fS9 ;
enrolment to date, 10,205. The numbers
have increased as we'll as the attendance
since the February examinations, which
closed on the 10th instant. The super
intendept visited during the month 248
schools, and found them generally in
good condition.
The intermediate examinations, with
few exceptions, show very satisfactory
results. The average percentage of pro-
motions in the several buildings is as
follows: High School. II; Madison,
so; West End, "a Elba, 70 Leigh.
Sj; Central, 81: Marshall, " Bellevue,
So; Springfield, 81. General average
OF white schools, 81 4-10 per cent. /; Nor
NAL School, 70: Baker, S3; Navy Hill,
SO; Valley. rs; Moore, IS {; Fast End,
SO. General average Of colored schools,
81 Clio. A number Of the individual
schools reached the high average OF loo
per cent. The superintendent calls at
tentlon to these facts and also to the
fact that some OF the pupils fail Of pro-
motion on account OF nOn-attendance
during the session. thereby losing valua-
bic time through the indulgence often OF
parents He also speaks of the dolngs
of the "bad boy" who always turns up
in unexpected places, schools not ex-
cepted, and recommends strict disciple
nary treatment. The superintendent re-
ports the assignment of Emily y.
Bosher, Maude W. Hyde, Lizzie Win
ston, and Sue Herring to places in the
white schools, and Lizzie Bagby. Kate
Cook, Maria Hope, Emily Stanardt. and
Rose Brooks to places in the coiored
schools.
Mr.. Bryan reported TO the board that
the Chancery Court Of Richmond had
decided that the bequest of "Emily
Easement, Of California, of $1,000, be-
longs to the public schools, and ia under
the management OF the board. The
board will invest the funds, IN order to
carry ont the wish of the donor.
Dr. :. =. Moore submitted carefully
prepared report on the subject of super
vision Of schools. to prevent the evils
arising from insufficient light, defective
hygenlc arrangements want of vaccina-
ton, the spread OF contagious diseases,
and all other physical evils that are
almost inseparable from such a large
system.
After the usual routine business the
board adjourned.

An Amendment Limiting Iis Opera
lions 10 Ciftes of 5000.

in the Senate yesterday Mr.. Ellyson
called up out of Its order Senate Bill
1913. in regard to mechanics liens. He
offered an amendment limiting the opera
tious of the law to cities of 5000 IN
habitants and over. This is all amend
ment agreed upon by the committee of
sub-contractors having the matter in
charge.
Mr.. Harrison was opposed to the
amendment he thought that there
ought to be one law for both city and
county.
MIR. Euyson explained that there was
a reason for the difference. The large
extent Of building operations in the
cities made a mechanics lien law mat
ter of great importance to them, whilst
it was of comparatively little moment to
the counties. Our people had no OBJ
lection to the laws being made applica-
bic to all alike, and had only introduced
this because it was thought 1t might
make the bill more acceptable to MEM
bers from the country.
Nh. Blackstone was in favor of the
amendment, but he thonght the bill
should be perfected before it was passed.
The bill was then passed by and made
the special order for to-day at l o'clock.

pany, asking that the city extend forfi!fy
years the fve-million-doliar loan se-

mature in two years, the new

amounts to two and half million dol

given back TO the company when the
new bonds are issued The mat
ter was referred to tho Committee on
Ways and Means Mr.. Spencer states
that the antagonism developed towards
the syndicate recently formed to
release the road from its embarrassments
has compelled the directors to ask the
assistance of the city of Baltimore, and
that renewal of this loan and the con-
verting back into the Treasury OF the
sinking fund would of material benefit
to the company.

what fearful feelings. and have felt great
hesitancy about taking hold Of it.
a SUBSTITUTE.
When the bill came before the Senate
Mr.. Duane made an unsuccessful effort
10 have it passed by, and MIR. Read Of
fered a substitute providing that the
board shall consist of five members,
three of whom shall be members of the
Medical Society Of Virginia, two of whom
shall be appointed by the society and one
by the Governor, TO be selected by him
from the names furnished him by the
Medical Society; one to be chosen from

stitute, which he regarded better mes-
sure than that passed by the House.
MIR. Heaton said that no such legisla-
ton was necessary either to protect the
medical profession or the people. In
his view any man possessing diploma
from a reputable college should be en-
titled TO practice without undergoing
another examination from a secret
board of professional men who are to

to reconsider were both defeated.
