 The board of education held special meeting last evening for the purpose of act' ing upon the proposed new rules upon which special committee has long been at work. Every member of the board was present ex- cept Major Strong.
 Captain O'Brien, from the committee on schools. recommended that the evening schools be opened Monday next to run through the winter months; that they be open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings from 2 to 0 with the exception of the Russian school which will be open We'd nesdsy instead of Friday evening. The board voted to open the schools as recom- msndsd and the following teachers at the stated pay per night were appointed:
 High school, Philip Pond $200, W. A. McQuaid $2.00; Washington, Benjamin J. seeley $2.50, A. L. May $1.50; Dixwell ave- nue, 8. P. Goodhart $200; Winchester, Vert ner Keimerson $2.00, 0. O. Ramsdell $1.5e; Hamilton, Frank 0. Donnelly $2.00, A. G. Mailer $1.50; Woolsey, Chester M. Clark @. co, James P. Bree $1.50; Girls school, zunder $20O, E. T. Liefeld $a.OO, Leo H. Herz $1.50 Italian, Paul Russo $2.OO, Eugene s. Delgreeo $2.00; Russian, Samuel Weyber $200, Noses Husinsky $1.50, Alex ander Roinsky $1.50; Swedish, Albert H. Moulton $2.00, Benj. E. Elmsteadt $1.50; Norwegian and Danish, Claus Dahl $2.00.
 The board adopted the adanant plaster for the ceilings of the new Lawrence street school and the ordinary plaster for the walls. The contract was awarded to Bates and Townsend for $2,265. Mir. Avis suggested that the board advocate the construction of the Num- son street sewer that the Shelton, avenue school might be connected herewith. The board adopted the suggestion after Mir. OBrien had moved that the matter be re- ferred to the board of Public Works.
 The board took up the new rules and struck serious difficulties at the outset. It was almost ten o'clock when the boundaries of the several districts were satisfactorily described. After that things proceeded more rapidly. The new rules prescribe that, when any question concerning an employe arises, the board shall go into executive ses- sion at the request of one member.
 When the board reached the rule relating to standing committees Mir. Adler suggested that committee on supplies should be es- tablished. The work incident to the sup plying of free text books should be perform- cd by . special committee. In this manner books and other supplies might be obtained at considerable saving to the district. MT. Plunkett expressed the belief that the matter could best be left to the committee on schools. President Graves thought that such committee might be needed in time, but he would not create such committee at present. It was finally agreed to proceed with the rules as proposed, leaving the es- tablishment of committee on supplies to a later time.
 When the rule relating to the duties of the finance committee came up for considera- ton the new members were shown the meth- ods of approving and keeping records of all bills paid by the district. It was nearly Il o'clock when this discussion ended, and the board adjourned. There are some twenty nine sections in the proposed new rules, but the board had reached only the eighth, when 1t adjourned.
 The finance committee will endesvor to straighten ous difficulty accustomed by the failure of the company which printed the school bonds to attach coupons enough. Something like $177 are involved.
