CHANGES WERE MADE NECESSARY The School Divisions to Be Entirely Renumbered. OTHER AOTION TAKEN An adjourned meeting of the board of trustees of public schools was held at thi Franklin building yesterday afternoon, at which considerable important business was transacted. There were present Messrs. Whelpley (in the chair), Darlington, Har- ries, Bruce, Shadd, Cornish and Hazen, Mrs. Stowell and Mrs. Terrell. Changes in the Schools. The following changes in the schools were announced by the trustees of the various divisions and received the approval of the board: Second division A—Promote—H. A. Duffy from sixth to seventh grade; O. A. Ebert frem fifth to sixth; Susie Purcell from fourth to fifth; W. E. Barton from third to fuurth; M. E. Wcod from second to third; Margaret Will'amson from first to second. Appoint— Alice Hanley, normal graduate, to teacher, first grade; H. G. Paddon, janitor, Peirce annex. Leave of absence—L, G. Nash. Fifth division—Leave of-absence has been granted to M. C. O. Lazenby and E. L. Du- vall, teachers. Sixth division A—Appoint—Thomas F. Tucker, janitor Brightwood School, vice Peter Bransom, resigned; Edward L. Saut- myer, janitor, for Johnson School, vice Wm. Smith, resigned; Henson Wiliams, janitor at Ivy City. Eighth division A—Leaves of absence granted M. E. Benjamin, teacher, for three months from December 1, and 8. C. Lewis, teacher, for three months from January 1. Free Library Indorsed. Mr. Harries offered the following resolu- tion: “Whereas the public educational system of the District of Columbia would be ma- terially strengthened by the establishment of a free public library and room, therefore be it “Resolved, That the board of trustees of public schools of the District of Columbia heartily indorses Senate bill 1247 and House bill 3129, which have for their object the establishment and maintenance of such a free public library and reading room as has been proposed and urged by the Washing- ton board of trade.” Mr. Harries pointed out briefly the mani- fold benefits to be derived from the estab- lishment of the proposed free public library and reading house and referred especially to its advantage as an aid to the public school system in the general cause of edu- cation and progress. Mr. Bruce gave a hearty second to the motion for the adoption of the resolution. “Among the pressing duties which devolve upon the board from time to time,” he said, “there has been no measure of greater im- portance before us than the free library bill, nor one in which the people of the Dis- trict take so deep an interest. It is, in fact, the people’s measure. For the. last few montbs I have been spoken to by representa- tives of all classes of the people of this Dis- trict advocating favorable action in this di- rection. I therefore express the hope that the resolution will receive the unanimous indorsement of the board.” The resolution was then put to the meet- ing and was adopted by acclamation. The Revised Rules. The report of the special committee ap- pointed to revise the rules and by-laws of the public schools was then taken up. It was submitted by Mr. Harries, and was the subject of a full and free discussion, in which all the trustees participated, Mrs. Stowell and Mrs, Terrell in particular showing a deep interest and a comprehen- sive knowledge of the details of the school system. The rules by which the schools were governed were adopted in January, 1889, and were found to be unsuitable for the present system, which has undergone many radical changes and important im- provements since the date named. A re- vision of the rules, so as to make them ccnform to the present order of things, was determined upon several months ago, and the important work of bringing them up to date was intrusted to a committee of which Mr. Harries was the chairman. Many of the old rules were obsolete and irapplicable to the present situation, many others required important changes, and in several :nstances it was found necessary to make entirely new rules to cover subjects that have come within the province of the pond since the rules of 1889 were put into ‘orce. The revised rules were considered sepa- rately and were passed by, unless objection was raised. The first rule provides for separate schools for white children and for colcred children, in accordance with exist- ing laws. The second rule came in for some discussion. It provides that the number of teachers appointed for each di- vision shall not be less than one for each nfty pupils of the average enrollment. It developed that Mrs. Stowell, Superintendent Powell and others considered the average number of pupils for each teacher as ex- cessive, but that no change could be made without the special authority of Congress. Mrs. Stowell thought the average enroll- ment should be thirty-five pupils. In re- spense to an inquiry, the superintendent said that the actual average enroliment at present is forty-five. Finally, on motion of Mr. Darlington, the rule was amended so as to provide that, so far as practicable, the enrollment shall be limited to forty pupils for each school. High School Director. An important change was made in the rules pertaining to the High Schools, by which the principal of the Central High School is made “director of the first six divisions, under the control of the superin- tendent, and shall aid the superintendent in advising High School teachers as to the best methods of instruction and govern- ment.” This rule was made for the pur- pose of insuring uniformity of instruction in all the High Schools, and the principal of the Central High School was designated as “director” because of his peculiar fit- ness for the place, and also because the Central is the largest of the four High Schools affected. Mrs. Stowell was inclined to believe that his selection might be con- strued as a discrimination against the other High Schools. She favored a rule placing the selection of the High School director at the discretion of the board, but she failed in her effort to have the rule so amended. Renumbering the School Divisions. A long series of by-laws was then pre- sented for consideration, the feature of which of chief general interest was the re- numbering of the school divisions of the District, according to the following article, “The District of Columbia shall be divided into ten divisions. The first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth, comprising the public schools for white children of the city of Washington; the seventh, the public schools of the county, and the eighth, ninth and tenth, the public schools for colored children of the city of Washington; the assignment of schools to these divisions shali be made from time to time by the board.” This plan simplifies the nomenclature of the divisions, and does away entirely with the present system of alphabetical sub- divisions. The principal effect of the change is the elimination entirely of second division B, and rechristening it the sixth division. Mrs. Stowell, as the trustee of that division, made a vigorous protest against the change, and made an eloquent appeal in favor of the retention of the present title, but she stood alone in her position, and was heavily out- veted. The new nomenclature of the school divisions will not take effect until the Ist of July next, in order to give the school au- thorities time in which to arrange books, papers, etc., to conform to the new order of things. The board was in continuous session from 4:30 to 7:30 B’clock. Gifts and Entertainments. One of the new rules provides that “No teacher or other person shall be allowed to present in the public schools any premium or gift to any pupil, except such as are permitted by crder of the board; nor shall any teacher receive any gift purchased by the contribution of pupils.” Another rule provides as follows: “The Scott’s Emulsion taste. —than they have been during the sea- son—naturally.
