Mrs. Csssander McClees appeared be-
fore the meeting to inquire II the trus.
tees proposed paying for more clothing
for oolored girl, Susan Segars, an in
mate of the Pennsylvania institute for
the blind. Some discussion ensued aB to
whether or not the board should pay any
more clothing bills.
Mr.. Springer inquired what was the
propriety OF keeping the girl at the insti-
tuition, as her sight could not be re-
stored, in which case he did not see the
propriety of educating blind oolored
girl.

further money for the girls clothing, he
holding that the States appropriation
covered the expense of boarding and
clothes.
