the longest that was held for some
time past, being caused by long and
seemingly useless discussion on en-
ploying sprincipal for No. 4 school.

Committee on Insurance, stated that
the New Castle County Insurance
Company would pay the expenses In.
cnrred in repairing tho damages done
by fire In No.34 school, although the
committee had not acted according to
the rules Of the company. He would
ask authority to have q review Of the
building made, as the Board would
not get any Insurance IL the building

become vltIated. HIS request was
granted.
The Committee on Transfers re-
ported that there were one hundred
more spplicants for admission to the
Grammar schools than there we're va
cancies, and there were at least six
hundred seeking seats in the primary
schools than would be admitted. They
would recommend that q room be
opened In No. Q for Grammar scholars,
and that vacancies be filed as possi-
BILE In Nos. l, 4 and Q, and also that Q
room for-pTipary scholars be opened
in the old No. IL and q teacher be
employed for said room.

DIR. Grimshaw then said that it
would be better to take the money
that 1t would cost TO open room In
No. 13 and build school over Eleventh
street bridge. The building was to-
tally uafit for the purpose. The gem
tleman fr ON the Ninth Ward knows
that school is-needed over there.

, the report as signed.
