make change in the by laws. He now
moved that section 80, be changed so
as to read, "the public examination of the
schools shall be held the last two weeks
of the school year" 1t previously read,
"the last week" The motion to amend
was adopted.
Also that sec. 36, be changed so as to
read "the girls department on Wednes-
day and the boys on Friday" Agreed
upon.
Mr.. Baird, from the Committee on No.
School, said that in anticipation OF the
change that had heen made, the Commit
tee had decided to hold the examination
of the Boys Department on Friday
evening, the 2lst INST, and the Girls De-
partment on the following Wednesday.
The scholars had asked that the change
be made, as it was too much labor to have
/ both examinations in one week.
The Committee had also decided to
| adopt the plan of last year in regard to
| tickets, that Is to give a certain number
of tickets to the scholars and their
| friends, which tickets could be eXchang-
ed for reserved seats ON paying ten
cents.
Mr.. Woolley gave notice that the ex-
animation at No. ., would take place on
Monday, the 9th, and that of No. 2, on
the following day The examinations
would continue all day.
| Mr.. Ferris thought that it would be a
good idea for the Committees of the
different schools to give notice through
| the newspapers when the examinations
| would take place.
On the question of giving out tickets
for the Commencement exercises, Mr..
| Woolley said while he was in favor of
the graduates receiving all the tickets
that the Committee could consistently
l ni u tl9Tp h.a not favor nf them
receiving 60 or 20 seats each, thereby
taking all the best seats before anyone
else could get them. He moved that the
| Committee have printed on the tickets
that no one person could reserve more
than 10 seats.
A rambling discussion ensued on the
motion, and it was suggested that no one
person be allowed to reserve more than
two seats
Mr.. Speakman said that if you give
only two tickets, why you will have 1 900
people on the street at / o'clock in the
morning, and there would be riot il
the town.
/ The motion of Mr.. Woolley was lost
| Mr.. Woolley stated that he was credit
ably informed that a man had been paiC
to 20 to the book store early on tn,
morning when the tickets would be
ready, and get 800 or 600 seats. He
would say now on his feet that he woulC
not attend the Commencement
| Mr. Davidson moved that if the MAJ
was found out, that no tickets be givel
him.
Mr.. Baird-You can't help it.
| The motion was not put.
| Mr.. Lally moved that the committees
of the different schools be requested tC
inform the Board of the amount of Goa
that they have on hand.
Mr. Earria did not Spp the I1ga of th,
motion, us the Chairman of the Commit
tee was obliged to inform the Board thu
amount needed at each school.
Mr. Speakman thought the motion wa
a good one.

would take place on Thursday, June p
