DR.. Davis, DR.. Lilienthal, and Mr.. Wood
ward objected to the report, on the groun
that this training only once In TWO week
would be insufficient II any thing was
be done at all in this Department, th
teachers and scholars should have more FIRE
quent instruction.
Mr.. Stratton said that the Committee ha
only the time of one teacher, and they ha
divided it among the several Districts. III
instructions Of this teacher would,
thought soon qualify the teachers then
selves to carry the instruction farther. I'll
only thing that could be attained now woul
be an introduction of the exercises into Il
f schools.

i been employed at a salary of $1,000 yea
!. and it was not in the power of this Board
rescind that action. The report Of the Cor

T, left to their Judgment to introduce any diffe
