| masters, some OF whom are now abroad, have been
waiting anxiously for the action OF the board.

| from the High School committee, submitted the
list OF nominations for the teacherships in the
Hlgh school He said the nominations embraced
all the old corps OF teachers who had not resigned
| and two additional ones. Miss Breckinridge and
Mr.. Daish. DIR. Lane is nominated as principal.
| There are four vacancies yet to be filled.
! Mr.. Fish said he was ready TO make the nomina-
lions Of teachers for his division. After some dis
cussion, as Mr. Ross stated that they would be I'M
able 10 adJ ust salaries then 10 comply with
the requirements or the law, 1t was decided not 10
| submit nominations at that meeting. MI.
! Darlington thereuDOn withdrew the High School
| nominations. Trustees made statements, how
! ever, showing that all the Old teachers would be
| renomnated. There is some question yet To
| the appointment or new teachers. and the assign
