NEW EXAMS. IN HIGH SCHOOLS.

College Managers.
At a meeting Of the Board OF Education
yesterday a resolution was passed inaugu-
rating a new system Of examinations for
graduation from the high schools Of Greater
New York. The examinations are here
after to be conducted by the New York
state Examinations Board, instead Of by
the city superintendent.
This change 10 the result Of friction be-
tween the Normal College and City Super
intendent Maxwell, the latter having in
sisted in past years that scholars in the
9 school department Of the college
pass the same examination to graduate
from that department and enter the college
department that scholars in the city high
hoo have to pass. The trustees Of the
Norman college, on the other hand, main
tanned that IL was a State institution, and
therefore out OF the jurisdiction Of the
city superintendent, and app called to the
State Board Of Regents. The latter wrote
a letter to the Board Of Education suggest
ing uniform examinations for entrance
to all State colleges, and threatened II the
plan we're not adopted to withhold the 100000
a wear which is allotted to the city for its
schools by the State from the Horton fund.
Mr.. Abraham Stern of the Board OF Educa-
ton, who presented the resolution author
izing the new method. questioned whether
the Board OF Regents had a constitutional
right to withhold the fund, but recon-
mended their measure on the ground that
it would produce harmony.
