 The Board was occupied for some time over the appointment of janitor for the Hallock street school, the new school. There were many applicants-in all about 4o-and the applications were read with signatures. All came well recommended. Yale College professors, ex-Governors, ex-Congressmen, prominent clergymen and many other lead ing mems names were on the applications. There were one or two verbal applications received last evening MT. Zunder strongly recommended MT. Andrew Goodman. The committee said they recommended Capt. Michael McCartan, of the old Ninth c. V. The Board heard the signatures read MT. McCartan was appoint ed at the usual price for four room build ings.
 For the Lloyd street school the committee recommended R. N. Strickland formerly the grocer. Several members of the Board cor dially endorsed him from personal knowl- edge. MT. Parish recalled that daughter was teacher and died about two years ago. MT. Strickland was appointed. His salary would be proportionate.
 MT. Welch, of the Finance Committee, re- ported that they borrowed $2O, 900, and SC far as known had paid the bills up to date.
 Of the annual report an order for 5000 copies was made. Some talk ensued regard ing the long vacation at hand and the first meeting thereafter, which would be in time for acceptance of the annual report.
 Mir. Gile objected to the notice given of school elections as too short. People con- plained that they woke up too late to find somebody elected. Mir. Day said the law re- quired five days notice, which was always given, the notice being inserted in the papers for five days preceding the election.
 Mir. Gile facetiously added that to give it greater publicity, the call ought to have been incorporated as a part of the platforms of each of the national political parties. Oaugh. ter.)
 Mir. Sweeney said Mir. Gile ought to have been a delegate and accomplished this.
 MT. Zunder added that Mir. Gile might be that delegate four years hence. This episode concluded the session, and the Board separa- ted for the vacation.
