TEgE SCHOOL BOARD.
The subject of Vaccination Dis
cusSed--Other Business.


The board of education held its monthly
meeting in the high school last evening and
transacted some routine business.
Supt. Wright submitted his report and
stated in regard to vaccination that the
rule of the board has been vigorously en-
forced. For the last eight years no pupil
has entered the school unless vaecinated.
Each pupil for the last eight years is re-
corded on register, and each one has been
Vaccinated.
There are now 1854 children enrolled in
the public schools, 1.724 more than year
ago. Of these pupils 1,46S are studying
German. This year $50 pupils have been
enrolled.
Supt Wright recommended that Rule
AZ be changed to read:
During the first week in each term and on
each Monday thereafter, pupils in all respects
qualified may enter the school by applying to
the principal at the school building. A pupil
applying for admission for the first time
must be accompanied by parent or guardian
who shall give satisfactory evidence that the
child is years old. No pupil shall be admitted
to any of the schools who shall not have been
vaccinated within seven years next preceding
the application for admission. The evidence
of each vaccination to be presented to the
principal of the school where application for
admission is made, shall be certificate
signed by the health officer or any physician
duly licensed by the state board of examiners.
Some discussion followed the reading of
this rule, and no conclusion being imme-
diately reached, the board went into execu-
tive session. After an hours discussion it
was decided to adopt all Of Supt. Wright's
report, except that part pertaining to vac
cination. and that was referred to special
committee, who will confer with the attor-
ney general.
The committee on real estate reported
that since the council has passed the resou-
ton directing building inspectors to decline
permits for its removal. the Neill school was
sold. About half of the building has been
torn down and the other half the purchaser
asks for longer time for removal. Instead
of erecting necessary outside buildings at
Irving school at an outlay of $500. build
ings were removed from Webster school
and placed i'll position at an expense of
$3.50. The report was adopted.
The committee on music made a report
that the pianos in certain schools were out
of repair, and that for others new instru-
