The report of committee was adopted.

Tame ID. Cary, OF Brooklyn, n. Y, for a
membership.
DR.. Walsh presented the application of Hiss
Maggie nj. Bailey, late teacher in the schools
OF keokuk, Iowa.
Mr.. Holmead, the application of Miss Annie
NJ. Bailey, Of this city, and graduate of the
Female Grammar School of the Fourth District
The above applications were referred to the
committee on examination of teachers.
The bill of Green i Williams, 1887 for
furniture furnished the schools, was ordered to
be paid.
Tr. Davis announced the resignation of Mrs.
Jensen, teacher of Secondary School No. 4:
and OF Miss Lydia f. Choate, teacher of Second
ary No 5, Third District; the designations to
cake effect on the 31st day of August.
The resignation of Mrs Jensen was accepted;
and rs it appeared that Miss Choate was now
in Government employ, DIR. Davis moved that
her resignation take effect from the date of its
presentation.
This motion led to considerable debate. The
Board of Trustees, when they employ their
teachers, hold that they have full control of
them Tor the entire year, and the teachers
salary being made up monthly, they draw paw
for the months of July and August vacation
months) the same as though they taught these
months. In this case the question arose whether
q teacher who had accepted employment else
where could also draw pay from the school
fund. A rule Of the Board requires that all
teachers shall give months notice of intention
10 resign. and for that reason the above resigna-
tons were made to take effect on August 81.
Mr. Holmead took the ground that if teacher
fulfilled his or her contract with the Board, and
taught faithfully for ten months and halt, no
one had right 10 enquire how said teacher oc-
cupied her holiday time. Because teachers
chose to engage in other employment at time
when the School Board did not require her
services. was no reason why they should be
deprived OF pay, for the vacation month, any
more than il they had gone to Saratoga, Cape
May, or other place of resort.
Messrs. Davis, Utermehle, Wilson, Morsell
and others took different view OF the case, and
held that an acceptance Of employment out
side the jurisdiction of the School Board,
placed teacher entirely beyond the control of
the Board, and such teacher should not be en-
titled TO pay by the Board tor such time.
The question was finally postponed until the
next meeting: and Mr.. MorseIl Introduced the
following resolution. which was adopted:
RsSolred, That no teacher while in the en-
ploy OF the Board of Trustees of Public Schools
ehall engage in any other lucrative pursuits on
pain of dismissal
Mr. Ellis, from the committee on supplies,
presented the following bills; which were or
dered to be paid, viz:
Bilof VIM. Ballantyne for books for pre-
lnlums, $685. 81; bill of Saml Lewis for medals,
S13oS0 bill OF Schemerhon & Co., of Philadel-
phia, for Peltons outline maps, 8 Is.
Other small bills incurred during the recent
examinations and distributions were ordered
to be paid by the treasurer upon the approval
OF the committee on supplies.
Mr.. Wilson presented the bill of Mr.. w. W.
Corcoran (now in Europel for rent of the build
ing occupied by the female grammar school of
the First District; which was referred to the
