 MT. Plunkett said the Committee on
 Schools would like some instruction in re-
 gard to the advisability of opening night
 school for girls. He said there was consider
 able agitation the subject at the present
 time.
 MT. Zunder said the idea was not a new one for New Haven. At the urgent request of MT. Parish, 8 former superintendent a night school was established. This was about eight years ago, in the High school building. He said it was not success. The girls told their parents they were going to night school and went elsewhere Again, there were girls and the plan was abandoned.
 MT. Plunkett said that night schools for girls were successfully maintained in New York city and he never heard of any com plaints about the fellows hanging about the buildings. If they could be carried on srio- cessfully in that large city he did not see why such could not be the case in New Haven.
 The matter was referred to the Committee on Schools to inquire and report at 8 future meeting.

The memb Of the Board looked them over carefully and without sug- gesting any material changes directed the architect to draw plans and specifications, and directed the Committee on Schools to advertise for bids soon as the plans were completed.

It will be built of brick with brown stone trimmings, finished inside with white pine similar in style to the Welch training school The building will be two stories high, with basement and four rooms on each floor above the basement The building will be so constructed that four rooms can be added by an addition in the rear when needed.
