School AHnirs.

The Board of School Committee met last
evening. 1t was the last session of the
Board as now constituted. The following
business was transacted:
Applications for positions as teachers were
received from Allie M. Means, Mary B. Kilby,
Jennie NJ. D. Gross and Isora S. Hatch.
The following applications for permission to
attend school but one session day on account
of ill health were received, and the Supervisors
of the schools concerned were directed to in
qure into the matter Carrie d. Lincoln,
Kittie Fitzgerald and Bertha Fl. Berry.
Dr. Smaller made a report from the Execu-
tive Committee 70 whom referred the mat
ter of further accommodations for Primary No.
1. Two methods were considered. One con-
templates an addition of two story structure
of two rooms each, with accommodations for
forty scholars cost $1,000, The second pro-
vides for the erection of a building in another
part of the district, with three rooms in each
story, to accommodate fifty scholars. Two
plans were presented one calling for an outlay
of $3.50, the other $1700. A suitable lot can
be leased for $500 or bought for $4,000.
The following is the report of the Executive
Committee on disbursements for school pur-
poses from April 2Sth, 1873, to date:
SALARIES OF TEACHERS,

The annual report of tde state of the schools
was read bysCharles Holden, and 1000 copies
ordered to be printed and distributed through
the city. 1t represents the schools in excellent
conditon-better than ever before. Several
changes are mentioned in school houses-the
most i'm DOR tant of which is the change in the
High School building, by which the Fourth
Grammar would be removed to the Centre
street house, and the whole building gwen up
to High School purposes. with changes to ac-
commodate more scholars and employ more
teachers. This project will, no doubt, involve
the serious attention of the Committee. Vari-
GUS other topics of interest are discussed, which
will deserve attention when the report.appears
in print
Votes of thanks to the Chairman and Secre
tary were then passed and the Board adjourned.
