and suggested that no change be made

Mr.. Lawrence was called upon next. He
He was not quite clear whether the board
lad taken final action on the matter. The
chair explained that Harveys grammar
had been adopted, and the present ques-
ton was if the action should be deferred
until next year. The superintendent
asked to say few words. He said
that If the present amendment
prevailed there would be several different
grammars in use in the schools, and that
by using the present book until next year
the schools would be half way through it
when it would be necessary to change. He
thought such an arrangement was not ex-
pedient from financial or a scholastic
standpoint. He thought it prudent to set
tie the matter at once, even if he did catch
1t worse than anybody else.

ing IN tie negative.

grammar was left as before, being the

pealed from the decision of the chair Mr.
