seventeenth.
Mr.. Brooks said that it had been suggested
to him by one of the commissioners.
! Mr.. Warner suggested that that commits
sioner had changed his mind.
| Mr.. Brooks had not been informed so by the
gentleman in question, and did not, there
fore, know of the change of opinion until
now. He thought September was n month
wherein children should have all the exercise
required.
MIR. Warner agreed with Gen. Birncy. DIR.

| teachers for the high school not elected at the
last meeting be taken up now and the candi-
dates elected, and he presented tho names OF
Mr.. Preston A. Lambert instead of Mr.

Gen. Curtis moved to substitute Miss
Georgia ii. Lane for Miss Seoley. Gen. Bir-
ney proposed Miss Woodman and Miss Rus
sell. The committee then withdrew Miss
Sceley and nominated Miss Woodman. The
question then arose on the nomination Of
Miss Lane. This was discussed by all the
board for and against Miss Lane. Her elec-
tion was defeated by to A. Miss Woodman
was then elected. Gen. Birney nominated
Miss Russell. He read letter from Presi.
dent White, of Cornell, indorsing Miss Rus
sell very highly. President White spoke
very earnestly, saying she was admitted to
the best society of Boston. She was a grand
niece of VIM. Ellery Claiming, and though
she had had no experience as a teacher
she had been bright student, and has passed
a creditable examination. President White
was wrong in one point.
Gen. Birney said Miss Russell had had ex
perience as a teacher from teaching tn,
younger members of her fathers family. ii,

and brightness.
Mr. Lovejoy said Miss Jennings was in
