intendent Landes and Directors Stevens,
Lord, Wiemeyer, Hammer and Herzog. Alb
sent-Directors Butler and Stalker The
standing committees made routine reports.
The officers of the Protestant Orphan Asy.
lum appeared and objected to scholars being
transferred from the Asylum school to TWEEN
| ty.fourth and n streets, as they had not the
proper clothing for them to go any distance
| in wet weather. They desired the number
the Board would accommodate in the Asylum
school to be named. and they would see that
no greater number should be sent. The Su-
perintendent reported that he had, by order
of the Board, transferred "a pupils from the
Asylum school to Twenty fourth and N
streets. After discussing the matter. the
Board ordered that its previous order of
transfer be rescinded and that the number Of
pupils in the Asylum school shall not ex-
coed 81.
| Miss M. E. Saunders asked for the use of
a school.room after school hours for the pur-
pose Of teaching penmanship. The Board
had nc vacant room fitted with gas jets and
could not grant the request.
| The Superintendent submitted his monthly
report, showing 9,lSS pupils in the schools
and the classification Of the scholars. He
reported the supplies Used and the supplies
needed. One teacher applied for copy of the
revised edition of the New Testament, which
occasioDed the Beard to smile audibly. He
reported that the plan OF having Principals in
each school had been found to work admir-
ably and to render the government of the
schools more easy. He reported that he had
soma two weeks ago suspended Miss McCor-
mick, supervising Principal of the primary
schools, for iusubordinate conduct Of long
continuance. The term of suspension, he
added, expired at 1850 P. NJ. yesterday, and
she would be notified accordingly, the notice
having already been written. He submitted
list of kindergarten and object lesson sup
plies needed for the school at Twenty fourth
and n streets, and was directed to purchase
the same.
The Board ordered that Miss Waldron be
| transferred from the second to the fourth
| grade in the Sacramento Grammar School,
| as in the former grade there are too few and
| in the latter too many scholars for the teach
| ers employed. After further considering the
matter the Board reconsidered its order ard
resolved to elect another teacher TO the fourth
| GCuOOI, Auu NlIe.
| Addie Fl. Irvine was elected.

A petition signed by number Of citizens
was presented, asking the Board to rescind its
new rule extending its school hours to P.
NJ. Mr.. Tracy called up his motion, Of
which he gave notice month ego to repeal
the new or o'clock rule. The Committee
on Rules thereupon reported in favor of mod
living the new rule to the extent of taking
off half hour Of the extension, so as to
clsss the schools at $3.50. Mr.. Tracy moved
TO amend, TO strike off the whole hour of ex-
tension. Ayes-Wiemeyer, Stevens, Her
zog, Hammer, Tracy. Noes-Butler, Lord,
Stalker, and it was adopted. The afternoon
recess was then ordered abolished, and the
old-time recess in the forenoon was ordered
re-established, Mr.. Lord voting no.
The matter of rearrGnging the seats in the
school-rooms at Sixteenth and n streets was
referred to the Committee on Rules and Reg
ulations, with power to act.
The matter of the suspension of Miss Me-
Cormick, Principal OF primary schools, came
of her full salary. Mr.. Landes moved that
her salary be paid in full. He did not wish
to proceed against her to the extent of pun
ishment by deprivation Of pay. The motion
prevailed unanimously. The Superintendent
began to read his reasons for suspsnding
her, and got so far as to say she was gener-
ally insubordinate, and had been for a long
time; acted as if in defiance of his authority.
and SO bemeaned herself as to lead people to
believe she aimed to act Independently Of all
authority. At that point the matter, how
ever, came to a close, as it seemed to be
conceded that the mattar should come before
the Board, if at all, in the form of distinct
charges. The Superintendent said all he
wanted to know was whether the Board
would sustain him in his act or not-decide
whether he was right in asserting the author
ity he was bound by his duty to exercise.
At 9.45 the Board adjourned
