SCHOOL COMMITTIEES' ASSOCIATION.

If all accounts are true, there was quite a flutter at the School Committees' Association meeting the other evening. It is now suggested that the committee can make no headway with the question of a "motion," so adopted something more interesting and effe-ctive, namely a "commotion." First one moved a resolution and then someone was agin it with the stubborness of Paddy when he landed in New York. Li a very short time everything was moved except the office furniture (that was next). The chairman had now slightly lost his equilibrium. There was butterfields in the eups and buttcrcups in the fields. Batons to the right and batons to the left. The chairman moved his magic wand (ink pencil) across the face of the various resolutions hoping that there would be light, and there was "light," which ultimately enabled the meeting to proceed with the next business.
