 lowing to our inability to get the copy of the wOmen's petition, It IS omitted. much to our regret. as we con- sider that document the first and most potent step taken towards building of d schOolhouSe.
 After the reading of the petitions Mir. Prewett, said it was illegal-that Is. the request tO close the schools and use money for building. and read an opinion of Dan Jones. which amounted to nothing. only showing that the board was departing from the law by giving the cnlored people twO months school, when three months was prescribed.
 John tiatling, in a few well chosen words. placed the situation before the board as it never was presented De- fore. and tore Dan Jones opinion into smithers. He said all the law in the land could not cumpel district to hold srhonl. when they did not have a dol lar in the treasury. even II there was such law. He spoke of the deprecla- tion of school warrants, and asked where could they get competent prin- cipal at 800, while scrip would be worth only 60c.
 Mir. Williams objected to granting the prayer of the petition because ne wanted his children to go to schon. He wanted building. and he would give s to every sl subscribed Dy any of the petitioners towards II. MT. Bonner was opposed to the design "i the petitiOn. but wanted the measure discussed without any feeling.
 Mir. GOrman made a motion that the nrayer of the petitioners be granted, and the sun of Si000 be appropriated, for the purpose of building school house.
 The president declared the motion out of order. and said that motion m rrconsider was necessary, ana ne vould entertain that. ConsideraOIe nrVument followed. and III the ell deayor to belittle the petitioners, IL was asserted that petition could be gotten mn to hang German inside Of an hour.
 NIT. prewett said, to bring the thing before the board he would move re- consideration of the vote on suspend ino schools. which was carried, Bonner aud Williams declining to vote
 MT. Gorman again offered motion that the prayer of the petitioners be granteI. and that the sum of SiO0O be .nnropriated for building purposes out "f tbe revenue of 1893, and if necessary .t-. ,alool Ina cFSnpndpd
