It is further understood and resolved that no school term in the county of New Hanover shall be less than: six months, (instead of three to four months as has been the custom for years past) which can be done without the levy of any extra tax for school purposes. 4. It is the desire of this Board of Edu cation to appoint such men only as the , school committees of the country districts as will see that fuel is furnished to the schools without charge, by the committees of the district, instead of charging exhor bitant prices for same, and thus forcing a short term of school. That all school committeemen for every district in New .
