 crease of saIarfes-ObJections by Mem-
 terest. A regular meeting of the Board of Educa- tion was held last evening. Present, Messrs. welch, (presiding), Osborne, Zunder, Swee- ney, Hemingway, Maher and Gile.
 MT. Osborne from the Committee on Schools reported on the appointment of teach CTS and salaries for the ensuing year. In the place of Miss Bliss, resigned ssas teacher in the High School, Miss Fife E. Stevens was recommended to fill the vacancy
 MT. Sweeney said that at the time the va eancies were filled in the High School by teachers from out of town, thereby super seding Miss Stowe, that lady was promised promotion when another occurred Now Miss Stevens was appointed to fill a vacancy, and in order to make a vacancy in the Eaton school for somebody else. He should there fore oppose the appointment of Miss Stevens, and would move to substitute the name of Miss Stowe.
 MT. Gile said qualifications was the first thing to be considered in the appointment of teachers If Miss Stevens was qualified to fill the position, that would be another thing; but in this case he considered that the com mittee had made mistake in their selection z MT. Osborne said the committee had satis- fed themselves that the teacher they had rec commended was competent to fill the position to which she had been selected The com mittee had no excuses to offer for their ac- tion.
 The motion of MT. Sweeney was lost, and the appointment of teachers for the High School as recommended were adopted The increase in salaries in the High School was as follows: George L. Fox, from $1,1OO to $1, POO; Mrs. Virginia A. Curtis, from $1, ,OOO to $1 200; Susan s. Sheridan, from $7O0 to $75O.
 The teachers of the Webster school were then appointed as recommended There was temporary vacancy in this school, owing to the absence of Miss Woods, who has not been teaching the present term on account of ill ness. The only increase was that in the sal ary of Miss Frances E. Jackson, from S35O to $4OO.
 When Eaton school was reached, Mir. Sweeney moved to substitute the name of James P. Piggott in place of Samuel T. Dutton, principal. He thought that the pres ent principal was inefficient so far as the government of the children was concerned He said that the children or some of them committed all sorts of depredations in the neighborhood after school hours, and if the principal was efficient this would not happen.
 Mo. Gile said that there was no reason why the children should not be orderly after they left the school.
