Teachers In the public schools will
have to trim their sails little. 1t has
come to the attention of the school In
spectors that teachers employed by the
board were also doing additional duty
in pri vate schools. The teachers in the
latter establishments object to this, and
properly SO. They appear to have reg
istered an Internal kick with Inspector
KuhleS. for at last nights meet
ing of the board of education
that gentleman proposed a reSolu-
that all teachers employed by
the board should be requested
to devote their whole time to its work.
In other words, they are to stop going
into private schools and thus keep other
teachers out of reasonable employment.
President Haas remarked it was neceS-
Sary that something of the sort should
he done. I'VE have" he said, ''teach-
ers in our employ, getting very good
salaries. who are also teaching i'll some
other school"
Inspector Wright-Not in another
public school?
President HaaS-No; private school.
1t was suggested that the committees
on schools. manual training and high
schools should first investigate the mat
ter, and that stringent resolutions be
passed regulating the employment OF
teachers. Inspector Kuhlts would have
all the teachers dismissed who continue
to teach in private schools.
A radical spirit seemed to control the
members Of the educational board last
evening. The city building inspector
complained that the smoke nuisance
from the high school building was not
abated, due, he understood, TO the
the fact that the device for the
consumption of smoke was not being
utilized in the manner TO give the best
results. Inspector POStlethwaite was
at once upon his feet. ''There is" he
said, "'among some of the engineers
disposition not to use in proper man
neT the device furnished by the board
to prevent this smoke nuisance from
the various school buildings. Now.
move that the committee on fuel and
janitors be given authority to promptly
dismiss any engineer who will not
properly handle this Sm0ke-cOnSuming
device. l think that this is only due.tO
the citizens, whose employees they are"
The board unanimously acquiesced.
Neither did the inspectors stop to
waste much time over Alexander Stern
berg, who made an offer of So, 1870 for
eleven lots the board has for sale on
Rice street. The offer had barely been
read when President Haas chimed: Il
think a motion to lay that offer on the
table would be proper. We cannot stop
TO think about selling those lots for
$780," Inspector Thompson responded
with the necessary motion, which was
promptly Endorsed.
City School Superintendent Gilbert re-
ported that the total number of students
admitted in the schools last month was
Il. 1873, against 11.149 the same month
last year. There were 1,201 students
enrolled in the night schools. Two new
schools we're opened that day-the Har-
riSOn and the Fisher AmeS schools. The
following appointments were agreed to:
Minnie COchTane, teacher at Grant
school: Jennie Mcmillan. at Harrison
school; NOrah B. Rice. at Hawthorn
school; Mary Mcbride, AT Monroe school;
A. II. Hammond, assistant engineer at
Washington school; W. Rancker, as
sistant engineer at Franklin school;
G. Z. Young, assistant engineer at JET
ferSOn school; Patrick McGrean, as
sistant engineer at Madison school. In
Spector Wright said the manual train
ing school was approaching completion,
and that, when properly equipped,
would be second to none in the country.
A site is to be purchased for $1,000 for
a school on Arlington bills, to relieve
the congested condition of the Cleye-
land and Lincoln schools. Supt. Gil
bert was instructed to hold general
teachers examination Dec. 6 and z.
Rooms have been rented to relieve the
OvercrOwding at the Munroe and Cleve-
land schools.
