A Question Which Again Agitates the School Board. A CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY BETWEEN A TRUSTEE AND A JANITOR—THE COMMISSIONERS ASKED TO SEND CERTAIN INFORMATION TO THE BOARD—A COLORED INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL PROPOSED. ‘When the school board met last night, Trustee Fish, of the fourth or South Washington division, introduced to the board Dr. Thompson, of South Washington, representing the Jefferson Literary and Debating society. Dr. Thompson stated that Tred LIS soctety, composed of graduates of the gram- mar school, had for fourteen years been meeting in the Jefferson building, but now the Janitor, Mr. Strobel, had locked them out and refused to heat the school-room, where they met once a week, un- less they paid him $5 a month. The society, he said, maintained a good brary, to {which the Veachers and older pupils had access. Mr, Fish said that institution was practi- cally a night school. He had, so his author- ity went, ziven Instructions to the janitor to open the room, bi seemed to be disregarded. “I think,” he remarked, “that tf a janitor 1s to himself stich a course as that, 1tisabout to find out what powers we have.” no right," remarked Mr. Darlington, “to hhis own emolument. fancy,” observed “Mr. Fish, as he took ‘that he is treading on my preroga' mson movod that the mutter be referred ‘al trustee, Mr. Fish, with power to act. Mr. Curtis referred to the fact that an institu. tion In West Vee which had occupied rooms in the Curtis building had defrayed the ex- pense of gas and heating. Mr. Fish thought the janitor was required. to keep the building m order, and it not his, business to say for what purpose the building ‘should be used. “He might object,” observed Mr. Fish, “ course of study or to teachers keeping the dren there after four o'clock.” “Or, to follow out the logic,” said Mr. Ross, “he might discharge the trustee. r. Johnson sald that he did not think that the janitor, 1 in his division, would remain there long. Mr. Johnson's motion to refer the matter to Mr. Fish, with power to act, was carried. THE COLORED NORMAL, SCHOOL. Dr. Francis, from the committee on high and normal schools, offered a resolution directing the committee on normal and high schools to confer with the Commissioners with respect to the es- tablishment of a colored normal school. Mr. Johnson said that, provision had already been made in the estimates for such a school, to take the place of the school they would lose by the withdrawal of the Miner school trustees from the arrangement, Which had been in existence for several years. He remarked that it wonld be ap- propriaie, at any rate, that the trustees of the seventh and eighth divisions ould first have the privliege of consulting over a matter relating to a. school in thetr divisions, Certainly the other mem- bers of the bourd would not like it if the trustees. of the seventh or eighth division undertook to con- trol the Washington high schvol. Dr. Francis resented what he considered an in- sinuation that he destred to control the school, Mr, Johnson said that under the laws as they exist the colored pupils of the sixth diviston, or county, represented Dr. Francis, When they Were rady to go toa igi oF normal school should goto the high or normel school for the first six divisions, They were, however, received in the colored schools by sufferance, Dr. Francis’ resolution was carried with an amendment by Mr. Jonson adding the trustees of the seventh and eighth divisions to the committee for the purpose of the conference with the Com- missioners. THE TRUSTEES AND THE COMMISSIONERS. ‘Mr. Johnson then called up the report he made at the last meeting from the committee on ways and means, setting out that under existing ar- rangements the committee and the board had no means of knowing what expenditures were made for the schools, and proposing that requisitions should be sed through the board. Mr. Johison said there was no destre on the part of the com- mnttee to reach out for any power or authority. Mr. Ross offered as a substitute for Mr. John- son's report the following resolutions: 1, That the Commisstoners of the District be re- spectfully requested to furnish to the board of trustees at the close of every quarter of the fiscal year a statement of disbursements made for school Purposes other than teachers’ salaries, 2. That the Commissioners be juested to con- sider the feasibility and propriety of having orders upon the contingent fund submitted to the presi- dent Of the board for approval. 3. That the Commissioners be requested to de- vise a plan by which repairs upon school buildings, may be speedily made and completed and sup- plies furnished upon the request of any local comanittee. Mr. Ross thought the information needed could be obtained better by having pertodical statements from the Commissioners. He doubted whether any committee would act with the promptness re- quired when demand Was made upon the contin- gent fund, Mr. Johnson asked how they could ascertain the quantities of supplies purchased, and at his sug- gestion Mr. Ross amended his tirst resolution by inserting the word “detatled” before “statement.” Mr. Ross said his duties as trustee were already sufficient to occupy his attention, and he did not ‘Want the burden of furnishing supplies; he would rather not have tt. Mr. Johnson said he wanted to have some clear understanding as to the superintendence or super- vision of buildings. He wanted to know waether the janitor or the inspector of bulidings or the trustee or who was Ue sees He reterred to the case in Mr. Fish’s division, where the janitor had assumed authority over the building. Mr. Fish said he apprehended that the Commis sioners wouid be deijzhted to ve relieved of the re ‘sponsibility on matters relating lo care and super- vision of buildings, Mr. Ross, at the instance of Mr. Johnson, added a fourth resolution as follows: 4. “That the Commissioners be requested to require all matters with regard to tie management of the Schools brought to their attention to be reduced to writing and forwarded to tue president of the board tor such reierence and action as he may deem proper.” With this addition the resolutions were adopted. A COLORED INDUSTRIAL ScHOOL. A resolution offered by Mr. Curt: from the committee on industrial education, author- iuing the trustees of the seventh and eighth divisions to open a manual training school for the pupils in the colored High Was adopted. A motion to authorize Bruce Evans, a teacher in the sixth division, and a thorough mechanic, to devote Wednesday and Friday after- noons to a course Of instruction in the mec! cal arts, was referred Uo Lhe committee on teacl ‘The eXainination of applicants for teachers’ eer: Ulteates Was postponed trom December 18 to Jane 14, and, on motion of Dr. Franels, it was de cided Ulat where a substitute teacher 1s employed by any teacher the substitute shall receive the ‘Sume pay as a reguial ppointed teacher Mr, Johnson remarking thatit had been some Lime since the course ot study had had an over- hauling, offered a resolution instructing the eoun= mnittee Gn text books aud course of study to report it any changes were necessary in the course of study.

Is he coming to board with us? I wonder if he likes onions in his stewed tomatoes.” “Not so fast mother. didn’t accept him.” “Why, daughter, I cannot understand you. I thought ‘you loved Hurry dearly.” . 3 “So Ido, ma. But now, ma, reme.uber this is a secret. Promise not to say a word to any one, and I'll tell you something.” “Good gracious! Does Harry drink?” “No, ma; not that. You ‘see, ma, I have set my heart on having a sealskin sacque this winter. Well, if Harry can take broad hints he understands that. ‘When he Proposed last night I kept back the impulse to full into his arms, and, assuming an indifference which I did not feel, I told him I would give him my answer on Christ- mas Day. Now, ma, I think Harry loves me, aud if he does, that sacque will be along bright and early on Christmas morning. It will arrive before he does, and. ie'll send it to prove how much he prizes me.” “But why did you put him off until Christmas Day?" “0, you see, ma, if I had accepted him last evening by Christinas time he would have assumed the patronizing airs of an old engaved lover, and, as engaged lovers generally do, he would have talked economy to get rid of making me an expensive present.” “But perhaps he cannot afford it.” “Caunot afford it!
