William Mofatt and Buster Green lett
Yesterday for Minneapolis, Minn- to take
positions in a new glass works in that city
AT the last meeting Of the BOardof Ed
ucation several important steps were taken
looking to the improvement Ofthe schools
The teaching of music, which has hereto
fore been more or less of a farce and
has resulted in any little good TO the
scholars in general, was the first matter
taken up. BY a resolution, it was requlr-
ed that in every grade where music Is
taught, the teacher in charge shall remain
in the room and direct
the most perfect order. while
the lesson is still in progress. The
teacher shall also instruct the school daily
in the theory of music, so that when the
teacher gives his regular seml-week-
" lesson, the scholars may be more ready
TO comprehend his instructions. 1t Will
also be rec tired of each scholar to stand q
regular monthly examination in the theory
of musicth the same as other branches taught,
and proficiency in music will be necessary
to make promotion possible. This ar
rapgement will prove bene-
fetal, and any scholar passing through
the school will perforce, have at least a
knowledge of the principles and theory o i
music. A resolution was also offered
which will keep the ~janitors about the
buildings at all times when school Is IN
session, so that he may attend to any. m
pronIptu want of the school. Hewill also
be required to be on the play grounds du-
ring recess, and out IN the
capacity of policeman and
keep order on the grounds with au-
thority to report disorderly urchiRs to their
principal for correction. The arrangement
will greatly assist in preserving school
property, and check a great deal OF the an
caused by disorderly scholars to
their companions and persons living in the
immediate vicinity OF the school building.
