Everything marked in plain The crowd will Roof. Meeting ef the Schoel Bonrd and the Business Transacted—Did a " Net Vote. Mrs, M. R. Terrell, the only lady member of the board of school trustees present at last evening’s meeting of that body, created yg “Asa woman I protest against Dr. Shada and Mr. Cornish being excused from voting on the important proposition before us, and I think there ought to be some way te compel men to vote when they have re- Cornish asking to be excused, ‘Easter Needs-- eae ae ee —AT-- ae PERRY’S. A-body could tell that it was Easter time by dropping into this store. Here, there and everywhere are the tell-tale evidences—in a thousand choice novelties, like the buds fairly bursting into the full-grown fashions. Fresh shades that rid light—new designs that charm—new values that impress upon you the satisfaction that covers these counters. And the hurryin; ne bustling people—each—all intent upon the errands that will complete the Easter wardrobe — are quickly and profitably supplying the wants from this store-house of the world’s best. It is a Mecca, at which all tastes are satished. for Dr. Shadd, who has already told us that he has given the subject much con- sideration.” ‘The question referred to by Mrs. Terrell ‘wason the adoption of a minority revort from the committee on normal and high schools, submitted by Mr. George H. Har- vies, as follows: “Resolved, That from and@ after the be- ginning of the next school year the Normal School be located only in the Henry School building; and the committee on normal and high schools and the local committee of the second division are charged with the duty of making the changes made necessary by this resolution.” i The Majority Report. Previous to Mr. Harries’ submitting the above, Trustee Wilson laid before the board @ report from the majority of the same committee favoring the creation of an ad- ditional normal school, to be kcated at such point as might be hereafter desig- nated by the superintendent of schools. At the request of Chairman pro tem. Barnard, Superintendent Poweli gave his views at some length on the subject, and strongly urged the adoption of the ma- jority report. Major Harries, after Mr. Powell had fin- ished his remarks, introduced the minor- ity report. In the course of his remarks Major Harries said he thought the affairs of the public schools ought to be conduct- ed on business principles; that this was an era of consolidation, and by this means great enterprises were conducted with much more success than when there were several separate institutions iocated in as many difterent places. He thought the board owed it to those whom the normal schools are intended, to benefit to afford them every facility possibie. Major Har- ries referred at some length to the ad- vantages which he believed would ac- crue to the students if there should be but one rormal schcoi, and that located in the Henry building, as suggested in the minority repcrt. Chairman Barnard calied upon Mr. Wil- son to preside temporarily and made some remarks in opposition te what had been said by Major Harries. Mr. Wilson said that although he had as chairman of the committee submitted a report favoring three normal schools, he believed Major Harries’ plan the better one, and ke would vete for it. Mrs. Terrell also favered Major Harries’ resolution. Short speeches were inade by Mrs. Terrell, Messrs. Bruce, Shadd, Cor- nish and others. As Secretary Falck was about to call the roll upon the adoption of Major Harries’ resolution, Dr. Shadd and Mr. Cornish | asked to be excused from voting on the ‘), ()\|| ground that they wanted more time to bd : consider the subject.

G®ADING THE TORIEs. The British Liberal Leader Again Criticises the Government. At a banquet given by the Eighty Club in Londen last night Sir Wiliam Vernon Harcourt, the liberal leader, charged the government with shrinking from a definite vote on the employment of the British forces in Crete. He said that the govern- ment had introduced the absolutely new constitutional doctrine that it beloaged to the government to draw up the opposition’s resolutions. This was an intoleraole piece of tyranny. The government did not went a definite resolution, but an Indefiaite one, a vote of confidence. Referring “to the European concert, he said that the opposition desired Great Rrit- ain to be the friend of all states, but the instrument of none. Personally, he did not believe in being drawn into what Lord Salisbury called the federal legislawre. If the European concert had had com- mon sense at all the Cretan question would have been settled long ago, upon the only Proper basis, namély, the annexation of Crete to Greece. Arrest of a Pittsburg Banker on a Grave Charge. A colossal attempt at insurance swind- ling was unearthed at Pittsburg yesterday when C. Linwood Woods of C. L. Woods & Co., bankers, was arrested in his office in the Park building. The information was made by C. F. Harper, chief of the revision department of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York, charging Woods with procuring policies with intent to defraud. When Woods was confronted by the arresting officer he fell in a faint. On recovery he acknowledged that he was “treed,” and was. committed to jail in i Safe menor ge $5,000 bail.
