Of school No. Z; Alinda johnson.
~ second assistant in school No. H."
The committee also reported the fact
that fifty scholars had been transferred
from No. 10 and distributed in Nos. IL
and II, the former being now full.
while room was made for many schol.
ars who were not able to gain admission
to the schools at the beginning of the
school term.
They also suggested the advisability
OF appointing an additional teacher In
No. IL to teach q grammar room re-
Gently started there. They also urged
the appointment of an additional
teacher at No. 10, at a salary of $500. A
motion was made that the two teachers
be appointed, when Mr.. Kyne opposed
the motion on the ground that he did
not see the necessity Of an extra teacher
at No. is. He thought that as long as
the school had got along thus far with
out an extra teacher 1t could still do Sd.
I He was in favor or appointing a new
teacher at No 13.
Mr.. Moore, Of the Committee ON No.
10, thought the school was really suf-
fering for the want of an assistant
teacher, for the reason that the pripci.
pal could not give her rooms the atten.
tion they demanded and attend to her
other duties at the same time. Mr.,
Stilley spoke Dfthe immediste necessity
Of placing new teacher at No. Is. Mr..
Heisler opposed the appointment of q
monitor teacher merely to sit on the
platform as figure head. If, however,
they could be profitably employed, he
would not oppose the motion. DR.,
Keables, of the Committee on Teachers,
replied to Mr.. Kyne's objections and
urged the necessity of the appointments
recommended.
| DIR. West suggested that Superinten-
dent Harlan be heard on the subject,
The latter being granted permission to
speak, stated that he knew an addition
al teacher in each of the schools men.
toned could be employed every hour
during the day In doing work that
should be done. BY having these ex-
ira teachers more attention could be
paid to instr,lcting the children in read
ing, writing and arithmetic. After
some further discussion of the question
by Messrs. Kyne, Keables, and Super.
intendent Harlan, the question was
divided and the recommendation of the
com mittee, IN regard to No. 13 was
adopted and the committee instructed
TO employ grammar teacher, at q
salary of S460. In reference to an ad
ditional teacher in No. 10, Mr.. Kyne
moved to postpone the matter for two
weeks, which was lost and the motion
to employ the teacher at No. 10 at a
salary of $500 was then adopted,
The same Commit 90 also recommend
ed that old No. 13 school, at Second and
Washington streets, be taken possess
sion of and used rs o colored school, az
there were about 100 children in that
locality}who desired school facilities.
DR. Keables moved that the tenants be
notified to vaCAte at months notice.
Mr.. Kyne opposed the opening of q
school for olored children and thought
If opened at all it should be for white
children, as there were fully 100 white
children in that neighborhood who
could not get in school, and further that
the colored schools already established
were not filed. He also stated that
there were not n half dozen colored
families in the ward. He did not think
the building fit for either white or color
ed children unless considerable repairs
were made to the same.
Mr.. Palmer thought that If opened 1t
should be for white children in order to
| relieve the pressure on No. 3.Dr. Short
On the question either way. He was
ready and willing to educate all, but
was not willing to put colored chill
dren in that school at the present time,
as they had already been well provided
for. Mr.. Palmer thought 1t unjust to
turn those children out upon the street
who were now attending the private
school. After some further discussion
the motion to notify the present tenants
to vacate was adopted.
