| having been for two weeks Instead of month

the starting of new second grade school ON
| Front street, the division of the school at North
! yillc-changes rendered necessary by the over
plus Of scholars in the secondary grade schools
and Of some changes among the teachers which
have taken place since the last meeting Of the
| board.
The report broughtto the attention ofthe board
| for action the following matters: The PROPOSE
ton Of Post 10, G. A. r., to reduce rates of adj
mission TO Colonel Bachelder's painting of the
Battle of Gettysburg, for the benefit of the school
| children; circular from the Massachusetts, to-
tai abstinence society, asking leave for its agent
to address the schools of Worcester, and the fact
that application has been made for an evening
school at South Worcester.
In regard to the Gettysburg picture il was
unanimously voted to allow each teacher to dis
miss the scholars for one hour in the afternoon
OF such day as shall be assigned, for the pur-
pose of allowing such children as may desire to
attend the exhibition and listen to the accom-
| panyng lecture; and the teachers are requested
| by the vote to accompany the schools to the eX-
hibition.
The matter of allowing the agent of the Mas
sachusens total abstinence society to deliver
temperance address to the scholars at the vari-
Gus school houses and induce the children to
sign pledge of total abstinence, was referred to
a committee consisting of his honor the mayor,
as prCsi lent of the school board Superintend-
cnt Marble, and S. V. Stone, secretary of the
board, with power to act.
The matter of establishing an evening school
at South Worcester was referred to the superin-
tendent, with power TO act
Mr. Geo. w. Gale, of the special committee
appointed to consider the question of opening
an evening drawing school, presented a report,
recommending the ward room in the basement
of the Belmont street school house as the most
convenient and suitable place for the classes
| A.,
fixtures, tables, chairs and models in fitting it
up for the purpose The report also set forth
the advantages of the teaching of this branch
as demonstrated last year, and explained the
| steps which have already been taken towards
the establishment OF drawing classes this season.
The report was accepted and its recommended
lions adopted. An order making the necessary
appropriation for the fitting up of the room pay
Of teachers, &c. also passed.
Mr. Aldrich, of the special committee APP
pointed to investigate the matter of annoyance
TO the Thomas street schools by the noise from
a neighboring boilermaker's shop, reported,
showing the noise to be a serious annoyance,
which if continued is sufficient to break up the
school, The committee, he said, had an inter
view with the boiler manufacturers, of pleas
ant nature, and although there is no
doubt but that action might be sus-
tanned against them for maintaining common
nuisance, still he did not deem such action adj
visable ut present; for he thought the owners of
the works were willing to remove as soon as
desirable place can be found. The matter was
referred to the superintendent, with instructions
to await reasonable time for the removal of
the annoyance, and then if it is not taken out
of the way begin a suit against the parties for
maintaining nuisance.
A report from the committee on school-houses
called attention to the recent action of the city
council looking to the removal of the old school
house from the common, and explained that il
could not reasonably be effected until additional
school accommodations were furnished else
where. The report also urged upon the city
council the necessity of taking immediate steps
for the carrying out Of the plan for building a
school-house on the Mechanic street burial
