To the Boards of School Trustees of Harris
County;
The Boards of Trustees of the several dis.
tricts of Harris county being full, the Board
of School Directors of the county have
deemed it advisable to recapftulate, for the
information of the trustees, certain duties de-
volved upon them by the free public school
law and its amendments, and by the instruc-
tions of the lion., the Superintendent of Pub-
lic Instruction, in the several circulars issued
from his department.
A list of the trustees for the scholastic
year, commencing September 1, 187-, and
terminating August 31, 187-, is published in
the Houston newspapers. Section 20 of the
school law provides that the three trustees of
each school district shall select from them-
selves a president.
The trustees are earnestly reminded that
section 22 of the school law requires as fol-
lows:

• —The factory unfortunates evoke much
sympathy, and justly too. Let us do some-
thing for them immediately.
—Forster, Ludlow & Co.’s circular, now
on our table, says the Galveston News, is in
New York studied for information relative
to the standing of Texas securities.
—Read the card of Dr. J. M. Peal, whose
Turco-Russian baths are furnished at $1 50
each. Dr. Perl’s Hygenic Institute has
"Section 22. The board of school directors
of each county shall require the trustees of
each school district, immediately and within
ten days after their election, to take the
school census of the district, making separate
lists of the white and colored children, and
make a full report thereof, under oath, to the
county superiutendent, and the county super-
intendent shall forward a copy of said report
to the Superintendent of Public Instruction,
within five days after receiving the said re-
port. Thr trustee er trustees taking the
scholastic census shall be entitled to five
cents for the name of each child reported, to
be paid by the county treasurer upon the or-
der or warrant of the county superintendent,
out of the public school fund apportioned to
the county. Said board of school directors
shall also require said trustees to provide the
necessary school and schoolhouses for the
scholastic population of the respective dis-
tricts, separating the white from the colored
children, and so arranging the schools and
schoolhouses that good order, peace and har-
mony may be maintained in the schools. Said
trustees-shall employ competent teachers for
all the schools in their respective districts,
and see that the schools are taught and pro-
perly conducted for at least four months in
the year.”
1 he board of directors beg to impress earn-
estly on the trustees the importance of tak-
ing this scholastic census without delay, and
fully. The apportionment of s chool money
to each county is made according to the num-
ber of its scholastic population. And the
Superintendent of Public Instruction at Aus-
tin has given notice that he will make the ap-
portionment on the 1st of September, and that
the census returns of last year will be taken as
the basis of apportionment for those districts
which fail to send in the required census of
the present year. This ueglect will cause con-
siderable loss of money to districts so neglect-
ing. The board of directors will meet in
Houston on the 27th of August, and the fol-
lowingday, if need be, for the completion of
business. The necessity of having the schol-
astic census completed and in Houston at as
early a time as practicable,that it may be trans-
mitted to Austin, is- again urged upon the
trustees.

—The Methodist revival at Noble’s Grove
in„the Fifth Ward, continues this week.
This grove is beautiful illuminated ut night
and amply turnished with seats. The de-
lightful moonlight nights we are having
now, together with the good roads in the
Fifth Ward, renders a ride over there from
the city an enjoyable affair, to say nothing
of the good which may result from attend-
ing these meetings. In case of rain, the
’ congregation can take refuge in the large
residence of Mr. Nobles, by a cordial invi-
tation extended by that gentleman.
—Judge Crosby, whose interview is pub-
, lished elsewhere, states that the bondhold- •
ers compromise matter is in statu quo. He
had seen some of the bondholders, who ex-
pressed a willingness to meet us half way
for a compromise, provided]we show a dis- -
position to economise orcut do wn expenses.
The bondholers cannot understand how we
have been victimised and swindled, or how
our resources have been exaggerated, or 1
how the bond issues were made. Nothing
could be done, in the opinion of Judge
„-rosby, tiil the bondholders appointed a J
W common agent to act for them. i
