An interesting Session in Tribute to the Memory of Miss Kate Boston Deceased.

The teachers met at the High School room last Saturday. Quite an interesting session was held. Alter the opening exercises, those present were treated to a lecture by Prof. Hsdgin on "The Ordinance of

1787."

The Professor took ground in opposition that Thomas Jefferson was the author of this ordinance which, as is known, related to the government of the Northwest territory. After an investigation ot the subject he has come to the conclusion that Jefterson was in I-rance, as minister at the ti.i.e this ordinance was drafted. He did not return until

It was followed by memorial exercises to the memory of Miss Kate Boston, late a teacher in the schools. The exercises consisted in a statement of the time and cause of her death, with resolutions of respect dralted by Miss Lizzie F. Boyer which vas unamiously passed. Miss Kate Tolbert presented a tribute to the memory ot the deceased. Miss Tolbert succeeds Miss Boston ii Mont Rose and is well calculated to speak of the place which the deceased teacher holds in the affections of her late pupils. It was an eloquent tribute, beautifully setting forth the gentleness and christian spirit

the departed.

The exercises closed with the singing of "Asleep in Jesus" by Mrs. Gould and Miss Beauchamp.

The old rule among teachers was to leave the name of a pupil on the roll fort six days of absence before taking it off. An ambituous teacher who wished his report to show nigh per cent of attendance would, on the absencc of a pup for a half day, immediately ascertain the pupil intended to remain out *5 school permanently. If so, the name was taken from the roll at once, before it could lower the averge

01"

the report to any serious extent. Careless teachers however would not do this, and, in consequense, the matter came up before the "National convention of teachers" some time ago. The decision of that body has been adopted as the rule here. It is: The name of each pupil shall remain on the roll during three days or six half days of consecutive absence. If not present on the seventh half day the name is dropped.

The rule is defective in many respects and causes reports to appear much lower than they otherwise would.

A dispitch has been received at the Republican headquarters stating that Mr. Cespedc, Republican candididate for the Legislature in Monroe county has protested against the canvass of the vote of ^he third precinct in Key West on the ground that the ballott box was taken away from the polls an counted by the managers in violation of the law.
