THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Tho Action of the Committee ON
Teachers Discussed.

The adjourned meeting Of the School Board,
for tho purpose Of taking action upon the re-
port OF tho Committee on Teachers, was held
last evening.
Miss Susie Merrick was appointed to succeed
Miss Hooper, resigned.
Mr.. Clark submitted the following:
ordered; That the notices OF dismissal OF
teachers recently Issued by the Committee on
Ball, Bigelow, Chadwick and Longfellow.
Consideration OF tho above was objected to,
and the chair declared 1t out OF order, as 1t was
In the nature Of an amendment to the rules.
This decision gave rise to some discussion,
and IL was developed that the report OF Mr..
Clark was intended as a substitute to tho re-
port of the Committee on Teachers. Tho point
was again made that consideration OF the SUBJ
stitute was out OF order; that its adoption
would be Illegal, and further, that It was not
proper 10 consider II without FIRST having
amended tho rules OF tho board. An
appeal was taken from the decision OF the
chair, ana It was moved to lay the appeal on
the table. A long debate followed, led by Gen.
eral Birnoy, and the entiro school system was
discussed. General Birney said that II the
board concluded to dismiss Misses Ball, Blgo.
low, Chadwick and Longieilow II would em'
bnrrass him greatly In selecting their success
ore; they would turn out tho best teachers no
had in his division. Other members, however,
stated that tho rules wero simply being en-
forced as they had been In other years, and
protested against any fayoritism. Tho appeal
from the decision OF the chair was then voted
on, and the appeal was rejected and the chair
sustained. Tho report OF the Committee on
Teachers submitted at tho last meeting was
then adopted unanimously.
1t was proposed that Miss Mary Rowe, of tho
Fifth Division, should temporarily assist Mr.
Janney, Acting Supervising Principal, Second
Division, and also that the Committee on
Teachers wait upon the District Commission
ers TO SEQ about obtaining arms for the High
School battalion, and having an ofilcer as.
signed TO drill them. Both propositions were
referred.
question raised In the case of Miss Chad
wick gave riso 10 n motion that teachers being
pronounced sick by proper medical authority,
at the time when called to be examined for
promotion, should bo considered sufficient
ground for action OF the board. Agreed TO.
Tho bonrd then adjourned.
