Years Bunco Game. C. H. Fox, chairman of the enter- tainment committee of the associa- sent in the written request which was explanitory. firm ling in hig hc s pictures has of- ed to send 200 pictures to the as- sociation for exhibition purposes and the money made by ing an entrance fee the association will buy decorative pictures from among those exhibited. Some members of {he school board thought the whole idea wored too strongly of usin schools for comme purp since it wonld further financial ends of the picture company. E. 0. Kilbourne, connected with ftanley School Parents’ and Teach- association, explained that his aciation had been permitted to do vis and had found the entire plan ful. Dr. J. B. Kelly thought idea a bad one. since it was ex- pressly understood that the associa- tion must buy the plctures from this concern. Supcrintendent S. H. Holmes remarked that this has been per- mitted on one other occasion in the schools and Dr. Kelly asked him for his opinion on the matter. The su- verintendent explained that = the whole question ‘was whether or not this is a good way for the Parents’ and Teachers’ sociations to make nd whether or not the pic- ture concerns charged more than us- for their products when pur- chased in this way. Dr. Kelly was not at all hackward in defining his position He described the entire plan as a “bunco game” for the benefit of the picture company. Dr. J. E. Martin was not as strenuously opposed aand thought, inasmuch as the board had permitted this custom before, it could do so ¢ On motion of E. M. Pratt it was finally decided to grant the request.

The report was cepted and action ratified. New School s Named. Mr. Kilbourne, speaking for Cha man G. W. Traut of the school commodation committee, ggested that the new Burritt scho now in process of construction be called the “Elihu Burritt School” instead simply the Burritt school. Mr. Pease thought the idea an excellent one, did the other members, as it leaves no doubt as to whom it honors. Judge Gaffney remarked that Elijah Burritt, a brother of the famous peace advocate, was also a famous man of letters so it should be vy under- stood that the school named in honor of Elihu. The board voted to have the name cut into the stone arch as suggested by Mr. Traut. August Voight, owner of property adjacent to the Vocational High school had complained about pupils trespassinz on his property and also about water draining from school property onto his land. In this lat- ter connection Architect W. P. Crab- tree explained, by letter, that the achool premises are elevated over Mr, Voight's, thus the water drains off. The trouble will be partially over, he stated, when new drains are com- ing heid up because advisable to pay ac- ac- as tthe | @ the | © the | Martin, | the | stated | He | of | 336 MAIN ST.

To eliminate the trespass nui- sance the architect suggested the con- struction of a fence. He submitted estimates showing that 420 feet of iron fence would cost $1,260, wooden fence would cost $842 and a stone wall would cost $1,100. The entire matter was finally referred back to the committee for suggestions. Mr. Kilbourne, reporting for the text book committee, recommended the adoption of a new Spanish book of short stories in the High school. The recommendation was adopted. Public School Inspection. After some discussion it was cided that on next Wednesday o'clock the school board will officlally 3 and inspect the new Vocational High school and the work done there, On Friday afternoon and evening the publié is invited to inspect the build- ing and the work. The morning classes will be omitted and trans- ferred to the evening in order that all may see what is being done. An offer from the High school Parents’ and Teachers' association to a st the school board In receiving the public on this night was accepted To Consider Salary Dr. Martin asked, followinz the receipt of the teachers’ committee’ re- port, where the difference in the sal- ary of a substitute and the regular teacher goes. 1t was explained that acher who is away from her for than five days be- use of illness, or at all for any other does not receive any pay and itute Is hired. The pay of the | substitute is less than that of the | regular and whatever difference there in the salary fund at the end | the year remains in the treasury. Su- perintendent Holmes reported that there are five or six substitutes dally on an average. The petition of the school teachers in the grades asking for more pay was referred jointly to the committee on | teachers and the finance committee with instructions to report at the next meeting. The petition was signed by every teacher who could be affected by a salary incr The committee decided to accept with thanks the offer of the United Parcents’ and Teachers' association to donate to the school hoard the Pathe- scope recently purchased by the as- sociation.
