Mr.. E=inonsny,irr, while visiting the
| schools, had noticed 2 great difference in
t.. temperature oi The roorns-some of
! them being too warn. others uucomfort-
! ally cold. He moved that the committee
on furniture ana apparatus be instructed

| The motirr was adopted.
| Mr.. Hartman said that tho board at its
last meeting, which he was unable to at
| tend, had authorized the purchase of school
furniture fnt two of the four rooms in tho
| New street school bLiliing. He thought
| all the ROOMS ought to be at once furnished.
There are already $50 pupils attending tho
| Lemon and James street primary schools
who are without desks. Thirty new dwell
| inyS have hceu or are being erected within
| two squares of the New street school.
Allowing Two pupils from each of these
dwellings the number will be increased to
| 1910, Or more than enough to till three Of
| the four rooms. He moved that the com
mit:ee on school furniture be directed to
furnish the other TWO rooms Of tho build
iug with furniture of tho same kind they
purchased for the two ROOMS previously
ordered to be furnished.
Mr.. WaIfel said that neither Of the sec
| onaary schools 1t the corner of Prince
and Chestnut streets were full, and he be-
lieved that all secondary pupils residing
i'll the northern part of the city could bo
supplied with seats without furnishing
another room He moved as an amend

experimenting committee be instructed
to report at next meeting the number of
unnccupied secondary seats.
Mr.. Baker understood that the pressure
for seats WAS il the primary schools and
could not see how a surplus of seats in tho
secondary schppls could furnish the relief
! needed
NJ. Warl,l thought it was proposed to
| furnish one room ill the New street build
ing rs q secondary school.
Mr.. Ebcrman said that he and MIR.
Offender had visited the primary schools
in the northern section Of the city and
found them greatly over crowded, there
being Ill pupils without desks. He
favored lifting up the four rooms as lri-
mary schools.
Ny. Warfel withdrew his amendment
and offered another, to the affect that in
fitting up the rooms tho twenty new
desks now in he basement Oi the Lemon
street school building be used as part of
the furniture.
Mr.. Hartman accepted the amendment
and the motion was then unanimously
agreed to.
Mr. Rienensyd.r again referred to the
dirty condition of some nl the school
rooms. The jauitors must do better even
ii they have to be paid larger salaries.
Mr. Hartman said that rule 33 made it
the duty of the .jauitOr to sweep the school
rooms Gt leust three times q week. Ii they
did not do 50, it WIS the teachers duty to
