TO REVISE
THE BY-LA WIS,
Board OF Education Will
Consider the Subject
Monday Evening.

Important changes in the bylaws,
rules OF order and rules for the govern
ment Of the schools of this city will be
considered by the Board Of Education at
its meeting on next Monday evening.
The committee appointed to revise the
bylaws and rules made arepurt some
time ago and were directed to have the
proposed changes printed.
This has been done and copies will be
sent to each member prior to Monday
meeting. One of the important changes
is the making OF the term OF snperln-
tendent, assistant superintendent and
clerk one year instead OF two. The
change, if made, will 90 into effect in
1901. The salary of the secretary and
treasurer when filled by one person, as
at present, is made $500 per year.
The number of members Of the finance
committee is changed from three t" five.
An additional committee is suggested
to be known as the committee on lnsti-
tute Free Library.
The president OF the Board who is now
an ex.oiiicio member Of the Teachers
Comm ttee is made an ex.olicio member
of the whole sixteen standing commit
tees with vote only in case Of a tie.
The school year is to commence the
first Tuesday IN September OF each year
instead OF the first Monday, thus giving
| the children no sChool on Labor Day.
! The school term is to close the Wednes.
day next preceding the Fourth of July
| instead of Friday as now.
In regard to contracts it il proposed
| that for all work and material required
| for the board, when the cost in any par
| ticular case will probably excred $500,
| bids shall be asked Tor by advertisement
in not more than three newspapers in
| viting sealed proposals for furnishing the
same; when exceeding 5000, bids shall be
asked for by advertisements in all the
daily rapers.
During stormy weather children are to
be allowed to remain in the school room
during intermisson or be dismissed Is
minutes earlier.
The order OF business may be altered
or suspended at any meeting by two
thirds vote instead of a vote of members
present. No business can be transacted
at a special meeting other than that for
which it was called except on agreement
OF ee-fourths OF the members present
instead of two-thirds of those present. A
twothrds vote Of the members present
is required to adopt alterations in the
bylaws and rules.
Pupils who are negligent, disorderly
or refractory and are dismissed must be
reported at once to the visiting COM
mittee.
There will likely be considerable op-
position to some OF the proposed changes.
Some of the changes may be corrections
in grammar, and some are already in
effect but are not in the printed by-la We
and rules.

An interesting and affecting incident
connecting recent events in this State
with the days and incidents OF the War
Of the Rebellion, occurred at the autumn
reunion OF St. Paul's NJ. f. Sunday
School, the character Of which is aptly
illustrated in the verse here quoted; an
incident which proves that the people
can still BIZ stirred by the memories Of
those exciting days-an incident recall.

mented ]. Taylor Cause, Joseph Pyle
and Isaac L. Crouch, all Of whom were
prominent and loyal workers for the
Church, and for the Nation in the days
of its trial and danger.
Some days before the meeting OF the
Sunday school at the opening OF the au.
tumn session, the Rev. W. L. y. Murray,
D. D., pastor Of St. Paul's NJ. L. Church,
received letter from William Eastman
Cotter, who it will be remembered is
one Of the men convicted Of completely
in the conspiracy to defrand the First
National Bank of Dover. The letter in.
formed DR.. Murray that the writer had
at one time been scholar In st. Paul's
Sunday school, and after reciting some
incidents in his life, asked for kindly
remembrance at the reunion OF the OIL
ticers, teachers and scholars, when it
should occur.
DR.. Murray was deeply touched by
this unexpected request coming from one
whom he did not KNOW personally. En-
closed in the letter was worn and
frayed envelope, and within it a letter
bearing date Of July, 1864. signed by J.
Tay lor Cause, Joseph Pyle and Isaac L.
Crouch, which had been written on be-
half Of ST. Paul's Sunday school to Ser
geant W. 4. Cotter, of the First Delaware
Battery, at Suffolk, Va.
This letter with its enclosures was
handed to the superintendent of the sam
day school, and was read at the reunion
OF the school. Tie letters produced a
profound impression, and elected ex-
pressions of sympathy for the writer. 1t
was resolved that the officers OF the
school answer the letter, assuring Ser
geant Cotter Of their interest aud assure
him that the "Christian sympathy that
