DE-. Shortlidge gave notice Of an
amendment to the bylaws, and a
khange in the Rules, which will be
discussed at the next meeting. The
amendment proposed strikes out the
after clause of Section "a, law u, in
reference to Visiting Committees and
bubble organizations. viz F.:
They shall make a report of the ex-
animation of each school through the
chairman of the Committee to the
Gommttee on Teachers, on or before
fhe Thursday preceding the third Mon,
lay of July"
The proposed change in the erue strikes
but the last clause of Rule /, which
reads: "The Board shall also hold a
stated meeting Oh the third Monday in
July, annually, at s o'clock" This is
the annual meeting, and the gentleman
did not see the necessity Of holding said
meeting.
In the amendment to the Bylaws, Dr.
Shortlidge said that it was all a farce,
as the respective COMMITTEES paid no at.
|tention to it, and the reports were hard
lily ever made out, and when they were
lie did not think the committees capa-
bile of Judging of the merits of said ex-
|aminatiOns. He further sta ed that if
the law had been carried out, the cases
| of Misses Dennison and Lowber would
have been reported to the Teachers
COMMITTEE instead of to the Board. AS
it was not carried out, he thought it
should be strichen out.
Mr.. Vernon offered the following
Resolved, That hereafter all repairs
costing over $25 be advertised for in
|one or more papers, at the option of the
committee.
DR.. Shortlidge moved that the matter
| be laid over, which was adopted. A
motion was then made by DIR. Short
Ililge that committee of three be ap-
pointed o consider the propriety of Sc
Icuring the services of a carpenter by the
wear, which would. no doubt, be great
saving to the Board. The motion was
|adopted, and Messrs. Hanson, Brooks,
and Pusey appointed as the committee.
Mr.. Belts offered the following, which
was adopted
Resolved, That the Book Committee
b. requested to report to this Board, at
its next meeting, the expediency OF re-
establishing Latin in No. school, and
| if expedient, the cost of the same.
On motion, the Printing Committee
was instructed to have the usual num-
her of manuals printed, for the use OF
the members,
Mr.. Reeve called the various Wishing
Conn lttees attention to the fact that
the shutters on the second story Of a
number of schools were left open and
that number Of window lights were
broken out by the boys, in consequence
of the shutters not being closed.
Mr.. Belts, Of the Fuel Committee, re
ported that he had asked for proposals
tor furnishing the schools with wood
and coal during the next school year.
