upon, and the meeting was proverbfaliy
short and sweet, 1t was agreed to in
augurate system of branch high
schools, as recommended by Supt. Gil

ninth grade be introduced into the
Webster, Humboldt, Van Buren,, Jeffer-

with tie same course of study as that
pursued in the same grade in the high
school building. That the teachers in
charge of the ninth grade rooms be re-
quired to furnish the same proofs of
qualification and be placed upon the
same schedule of salaries as the teachers
of similar grade in the high school.
That the instruction in English
and mathematics be given by the Ninth
grade teachers. That a suitable num-
Der of itinerant teachers be employed,
who shall give the instruction in for
eign languages. Supt. Gilbert AYERS that
the adoption of this scheme will not en-
tail much additional expense to the city.
The teachers required will be set off by
the less number necessary in the high
no 70, licGp nf al,
high schools will reduce the applica-
tions for admission to the head institu-
ton. Inspector Dobner reported the

A law passed by the late legislature
in regard to the city of st. Paul requires
judge of the district court to pass
upon the bonds of contractors for pub
lie work. Secretary Dreher reported a
number of bills recommended to be paid
were for work done upon contracts
where the bonds had not been be-
fore the district court. inspector
Dowlan thought il would be wrong to
pay these bills. The bonds of the con-
tractors might not be satisfactory. In
spector Haas explained that the money
would not be paid until the bonds were
found satisfactory. aud the bills were
accordingly allowed. Citizens of Lyle
hart street, Dayton avenue, Marshall
avenue. Selby avenue and west of st.
Adams street petitioned for new school
house at the corner of Iglehart and Vic
toria streets. The committee on schools
will consider and report. Inspector
Wright said the question of extending
manual training to girls had been con-
sidered, and it was recommended that
the matter be postponed for further con-
SideratiOn.
