The BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING

HE BUARD OF EDUCATION MEETING
RooM.-The Board of Education. at
the last meeting, decided to fix up a
meeting room in School No. /, by
making one room out of the Superin-
tendent's Office and the adjoining class
room Upon examination, however, it
was found that the plan was impracti-
cable, as to remove the partition be-
tween the two rooms would impair the
strength Of the I'd floor girders. The
room committee, last night, petitioned
Council to lease to the Board, the Sec
ond story room Of old school No. 8,
on E. Sixth street. If this petition is
granted the Board will repair the room
designated, raise the ceiling: make
other necessary improvements, and lit
it up as a permanent place of meeting.
