Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee of the Board of Education: To Which Was Referred a Communication From the Trustees of the Fourth Ward, in Relation to the Sectarian Character of Certain Books in Use in the Schools of That Ward

Your committee therefore recommend the passage of the re solutions appended to this report.
