BOARD OF EDUCATION. THE EIGHT OT THE CITT BUPZBIXT1NDEST TO WiUTVt THE EVEXIWG HIGH SCHOOL?THE EVILS or OYEBCBOWDIXa?BECOlQfEJfDA-" TIOH or THE COMMITTEE OX BYLAWS. The regelar meeting of the Board of Education wm held yesterday, President Wood in the chair. There was a large attendance or Commissioners, and aa tt waa generally anticipated that aome important qaeationa were coming up for diaooaaion the proceedinga were awaited with conaiderable interest. The minutoa of tho previous meeting having been approved the usual preliminary routine business was disposed oL The report of the Superintendent of Truancy from March X to 14, Inclusive, set forth that the total number of cases investigated by the agents was 978. Of this number 756 were not classed as truants, leaving 223 truants and non attendants, of which number 218 have been placed In und returned to school and five committed to tho cars ot the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents. A communication from the City Superintendent was read, setting forth that the principal of tho Evening High School had refused to allow him to make an examination as required by law. The Superintendent of the Evening High School also sent in a paper staling his reasons for doing so, to the effect that for the past ten years there had been only one examination and that was by special resolution of the Board. Commissioner Halstead moved a resolution that tho two communications and tho question as 10 mo amy of the City Superintendent to make an examination be referred to the Committee on Evening Schools. Commissioner Welmore moved a substitute that the City Superintendent be directed to inspect tho Eveniug Bigb School and report to the Board. Commissioner Ooulding submitted in forcible term* that there was no necessity for tho resolution or the substitute, as the law made it the duty of tho City SupcrlnteDdenUto malco an examination. He needed no instruction from the Board, as his duty was clearly set forth. Commissioner Hazelton considered that it would be a want ol courtesy to tho Evening School Committee to pass such a resolution as was proposed by the substitute. Commissioner Klamath said he was in favor of the substitute, but ho submittod that no discourtesy was intended, as the question at issue was upon the interpretation ot the law hearing on the subject. The substitute was conciliatory In tone, and would settle the question for all time to come. Commissioner Beardsloy submittod that tho City Superintendent bad no right to examine tho Eveniug High School; if he had a right to do so then ho was justified In examining tho Normal College. Commissioner Fuller brought what promised to be a Ions debate to a satisfactory close. He thoucht that ?b things were going on they would have to coll an advisory council. He offered an amendment, that the resolution ana substitute be referrca to a Joint committee, consisting of the Committee on Bylaws and the Committee on Evening Schools, which was adopted, Commissioners Ooulding, Wetmore and Klamath voting In the negative. OVERCROWDING THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The clork read the following report from the Committee on Bylaws, to whom was referred tho report of the Committee on Buildings in regard to the capacity 01 the various schcol buildings and class rooms, pre dcumju iu fin/ mfiv, uuu wuu wcro lustruutuu iu report to the Board of Education what additional regulations were needed in order to protect the health of the pupils of the schools from the evils of overcrowding:? After a careful consideration of the report referrod to them, and of the whole subject to which it pertains, they are satisfied that many of the class rooms, particularly in the primary departments and schools, are much too crowded. Various causes have combined to bring about this state ot things. first?The vast and rapid increase in the population of the city?particularly in certain wards?has rendered It quite impossible lor the Board, with the arncunt of funds placed at us disposal, to supply additional accommodations as fast us they have been required. Second?l'artly for the same reason, In the construction and internal arrangements of the school buildin.s, the class rooms have been made too small and have been furnished with more seats than correct sanitary principles and a proper regard lor the heullh or the pupils would have dictated. Third?The local school officers, naturally desirous that the schools undor their care should bo large and flourishing. have in many instances tailed to exercise the authority legally conferred upon them In the management of the schools, in order, by salutary regulations, to check this great evil ad overcrowding. fourth?The principals of schools, zealous In their desire Tor a large number ot pupils and In their competition in this respect with neighboring schools, often, also, urged and harassed by thp constant importunity of parents, hare in many instances crowded their class rooms by admitting more pupils into them than their capacity would permit. This, ot course, has been done by an exercise oLtheir own authority, unlimited as it has been by any regulation, eilber.of the Board of ?ducatlon or ot the ward trustees. Independently of the matter ot the orercrowdlng of the class rooms there is no doubt, that a more elllctcnt system ot ventilation Is netded In our school buildings to make their sanitary condition in all respects satisfactory. Bulthoexcessive nutnberol pupils placed in rooms, with but little regard to their sue, and no application of aDy guiding sanitary principle is a fact independent of this, since no system of ventilation can be adequato unless a proper amount of space per pupil is supplied. Hence your committee, in tbeir attention to this point, have endeavored to obtain all accessible inlortuatlon as to tbe proper amount ol lloor space and cubical air space, which, In tbe furnishing urd occupation ol tbe class rooms, should be allowed to each pupil, and In arriving at a conclusion on this point they have ava'led themselves of tbe assistance ol tbe City Superintendent, who baa corresponded with exports on the subject, and made an Investigation of it in other respects. The opinions of experts dlflor greatly in regard to tbe proper amount of air surface that should be allowed per pupil; but all agree that tbis ahouhl bo very much more than Is at present allowed in most of our primary departments and schools. And here ihe committee have telt much embarrassment, lrom the fact that any great and sweeping reform in this particular would be tbe means of excluding lrom tbe schools a very large namber of pupils. They leel, however, thai some reform should be made and that there should be some general regulation ol tbe Board to serve as a guide to trustees and principals In tbe admission ol pupils, and also as a check, to some extent at least, u|>on tbe excessive crowding of the classrooms, which Is now so great an evil, aud against which so many complaints are made. While, therefore, they do not leel warrantod In recommending tbe large allowance ol air spaco per pupil wbicb many sanitarians of high reputation deem requisite, thoy herewith submit a minimum allowance in tbis respect which, when compared with tbe condition ol things now existing, will be seen to be a great and beneficial change, while the other regulations herewith submitted are calculated to reduce in a short lime tbe attendance ol some of the schools now excessively crowded, and prevent the evil in the future by prohibiting principals from admitting more tupilslnto their schools than can be prt|>erly accommodated. The effect oi mis rule would also i>e 10 equalize in mint re spccts the attendance in different schools ami wards. This Is much needed, since olten certain schools are crowded to overflowing, while others in their Immediate vicinity are but partly fllled. Of course a full remedy (or the evils complained of can only be applied by increasing greatly in certain localities the amount of school accommodation, and for thla a considerable expenditure of money will be noedod. Hence a completo reform can only be gradual, and it Is to be hoped that the community, understanding the difficulties surrounding any action of the Hoard In this respect, will patiently await the lull realization of the plans and policy of which the regulations herewith submitted constitute the Initiatory step. Your committee, therefore, submit for the consideration of the Hoard tbo following as amendments to the bylaws:? Amend section 33, page 99 of the Manual by adding lucreiu me luuuniu^ av iu? iw? v> juju aw.? Hkctiok A3.?It .hull be the duty of every principal to reject all appncatioue for the admioion ol pupil* Into any, school or ctaaa whenever the room occupied by the eatno ft filled to the extent of it* lilting capacity. f In fixing the aittlng capacity of roome the following ehall be a minimum allowaoce of floor nurtaee and air apace per pupilIn the three lower grade* of primary echoole and departmenti. 5 euuare feet and 71) cable feet; in the three higher gradee, ?l equare feet and HO cubic feet; In the four lower gredri of grammar echoole, 7 equare Wet and HO cubic feet; In the lour higher gradee, B equare Jeel and 100 cubic leew In the adraieeinn of peplle thoee reeidlng neareet to any *7??' *r 'B '! caeee hare the preference.

The clerk rend the report of the Committee ott Bylawe with regard to the act fcr providing the children of New York with elementary education. Tba duty at pregent of notifying thoee who violate the law la veeted In the icbool trnateee, who, not being salaried O1IIC6FS. COUld not Alland in lh?l dutv ThA nmnnai. lion now made was to amend the act, ao that ihta dutv of notifying delinquents would be vetted Ln auch officers aa might be appointed by the Board. The report of the Committee on Bylnwa in reference to the appointment or a clerk to the Board oi Truatcea of tho Ksrat ward waa neat read. It appeared that at a meeting or that Board on January 31 Mr. Thomas S. O'Brien waa appointed to the position by a large majority. At a subsequent meeting or tbe Board, where, it would aeem, tbe attendance 01 members waa not ao large, Mr. Thomas E. Cody waa chosen aa clerk. The Committee on Bylawa now reported that tbe election or Mr. O'Brien waa valid, and tbe report waa unanimously adopted. After the transaction of tome routine business the Board adjourned. TBS EVENING SCHOOLS. The report of the evening schools for the term Just closed was completed yeeterdsy. They were open for shout eighteen weeks?from the flret Monday In October to the middle of February. These schools have long been a raaular institution, sad they may be eon new ro aklered aa the pet or the Board of Education, Inaa- ' much aa they coma directly under ita supervision, especlally in the aelection of teachers. The coarse of study pursued was confined to such branches aa were fundamental and almost strictly practical, and <5omprtaed reading, writing, arithmetic in all classes, with the addition in the higher clauses 01 noossoeping ami elemeuts of geography and English grammar. There were In all thtrty-flve schools, twenty for males, thirteen for females and two tor colored puDlls, and in them there were enrolled "20,619 scholars, nineteen twentieths or wttom were between twelve and twenty-one years of age. Of this number there were only 1,133 unable to read and 1,4(18 unable to write. The average attendance this season fell below that of last, being only 8.278, or about forty per cent of tho whole number of persons registered. About 7,500 scholars alieuded during the wholo season and 4,500 received certificates for regular and punctual attendance and correct conduct Toward the close ot the term the schools wore carefully examined under the direction of the Cltv Superintendent, Mr. Henry Kiddle, and of 279 classes, 207 were reported as in creditable condition. showing abetter result thau has ever before been attained in this field. MUNICIPAL NOTES. The City Ball wu almost entirely deserted yesterday by the local statesmen who generally congregate there to discuss the political situation. Several of the Aldermen went up on the eight o'clock morning train to Albany^ Mr. John Kelly was also among the passengers. They went to attend tho gathering of the State Democratic Committee. Several members ot the Tammany Hall General Committee have been furnished with blanks, on which they are expected to inscribe the names of the subscribers they procure to tho new organ of their party?tho Evening Express, The paintings and fhrniture In the Governor's room at the City Hall have been leviod upon by the ShorlflT, under authority of several executions issued for judgment obtained by clerks in tho Permit Bureau of the Mayor's onico, wtio Dave not bocn paid tneir salaries for several months. Comptroller Green claims that tbls branch of tho city government has not been legally constituted . Each of the Aldermen has been served with a petition for the pas*ago of the ordinance regulating the hack business. This ordiuanee was vetoed by tho Mayor, and It will now require a two-third vote of the Aldermen before it can become a law. The matter will probably be brought beiorc the Hoard at to-day's meeting. The Judges of the Marine Court, at a recent meeting, refused to assign Mr. James P. Smith for duty, as they claim his appointment by Governor Tildeu without confirmation by the Senate is Illegal. This will causo renewed contention among politicians. At tho meeting of tho Board of Aldermen this afternoon a resolution will be Introduced meant to compel Corporation Attorney Boyd to bring all suits commenced by him in the Courts of districts wherein the defendants reside. Mayor Wickhnm and the Aldermen will review tho St. Patrick's Day procession from the stops of tho City Hall to-morrow nfloruoon. Alderman Bryan Itoiily, who was dangerously 111 for several days at his residence, in Monroe street, has entirely recovered, and was at tho City Ball yesterday. REAL ESTATE.
