In calling the roll OF schools Mr..

been opened In No IS, nov ard School,
and one would be opened next Monday
evening in No 0, Eighth and Wallas.
ton. Mr.. Wiley asked for and was
given authority TO advertise notice of
the opening in three daily papers. He
was also given authority TO have the
edges Of the doors OF the High School
planed off to n AXE them shut easier, ut
an expense not exceedirg "a.
When No. IL fchoo was reached, MI.
Megaw stated that Lne heaters did not
give satisfaction, and needed repairing
Mt an expense not exceeding $25.
Considerable discussion ensued on
the request OF MT. Megaw, as Mr..
Schoen of the Schoen Heater Company
had only repaired the heaters few
days ago. Mr.. Megaw said he had
nothing 70 do with the repairs, and pre-
sumed IL was done at the order of Mr.
Belts, but he took exceptions to such n
mode Of doing business, as he bad al
ways supposed 1t was his province TO
order work done in his own school.
Mr.. Belts said he had not ordered the
work done, but had simply said TO Mr..
Schoen that he had been ordered TO do
the work; and it was time that it was
done, and this Mr. Schoen construed
into an order to do the work. 1t Was
stated that Mr. Schoen had re
paired the heaters twice before
and they still needed repai 8. After
considerable more discussion over the
matter the committee of the school Of
which Mr.. Megaw is chairman was in
structed to have the necessary repairs
made.

No. is, reported that an additional room
had been leased on Twelfth street, be
tween Orange and Market, for $40 q
month, and that already 60 oolorcd pu-
pills were In attendance. In referenc
TO the communication of E. G. Ander-
son, Eighth and Union streets, request
ing the Board of Education to take the
colored school at that place under its
charge, provided he WAS retained
Mr.. Fuekel reported the proposition
imprAcsioable Nobody, he said, had
petitioned for 1t but Anderson. 1t was
at q place In the newly. acquired por-
tion OF the city, where very little taxes
are paid, while there were still 100 ap
plicAnts ut No 16 for whom there were
had money ~ spend In this direction II
should be spent where 1t will do tht
most good.
Mr.. Smith took exceptions TO the yer
bal report of Mr.. Fuekel. He though
there should be Q school in that vicinity
and the fact that the people were pool
and paid no taxes was but stronger
argument in favor Of . school. The re
port Of Mr.. Futkel was adopted.
