Toe injurious effect of closing tne schools for five uontns 01 nas oen urged by the board In its eommunioatioas to the City Couneil. As the result of personal Inquiry fhave reason to believe that quite a large number of pupils, scattered over the city, who were la attendance In June last, have not yet returned, but are spending their time in'ldie nees upon the streets. Under the present system of voluntary attendance it is dim cult to remedy this evil, particularly when tbe absence is known to 1 the parent. Teachers hare been endeavoring, by using all means at their command, to secure the return ot their, former pupils who are not. attending any school or.

engaged In any useful calling. Departments hare been consolidated when Eracucable, particularly in the Be Philip, ive Oak, Paulding; and others. It will oe remembered that some eight or ten teachers were withdrawn from toe colored schools, at the annual election in October, last, aad their Dlaces not tilled. Binae Jan. 1 thuat.

tendance in several of the colored schools has greatly increased, requiring the an. pomtiuent of an additional, third assistant in the Marigny, Short street and McCarthy schools. A aupernumary is employed In the McCarthy, but no aid has yet been sent to the other two schools named. About fortv additional seta of charts, to be distributed through tbe schools, are needed tor primary class work. It is also recommended that each school should be supplied with a wall map of Louisiana.

It is lesnectfully recommended that the Com niittee on Supplies be authorized to furnish tne schools with tne charts and maps above indicated at an aggregate expense not ex eeeaing Teachers' meetings hare been held from time to time during the past month, and a Teachers' Association has been formed, the ultimate object of which ia the improvement of our public schools. A laudable desire for eilicient work under improred methods is shown by many of the teachers in our schools. The report was reoeired. Mr. Par ham.

of the Commmlttee on High Schools, reported that the examination of candidates lor promotion from the grammar departments to the high schools was held Irum Jan. 8 to loth lncluslre. 193 candidates were present, 69 for the Boys' School, 134 iris: tea of the latter were frem lvate schools.
