The discussion of Mayor Grants
prObaDAc intentions eS 10 the reap
pOintment of Mrs Agnew and Miss
Dodge on the School Board wakes
moro earnest every day. The amount
OF talk made by the protest of five
women teachers against the reten-
tion OF the women was very amusing.
One would suppose that FIVE was a ma
jority out OF s, 800. In point of fact the
AlumnB Association OF the Normal
! College, which includes good proper
tion of the teachers, is in favor Of
women commissioners, and the Primary
/ Teachers Association, omprising an
| other large body, has been zealOusly
/ circulating Mr.. +. K. Coudert's petition
/ for the reappointment OF the ladies.
/ There are teachers for and teachers
/ against, but there can be no reasonable
doubt that large majority of the
teachers strongly desire the representa-
tion of their own sex on the Board.
Mrs. U. 6. Grant looks much stronger
and in better health since her return
from visiting Fred Grants family in
Vienna. She will appear very little in
New York society this winter, having
planned q visit of some length to Jesse
Grants family in California. II was
supposed year ago or thereabouts that
Mrs. Grant might take a society position
and entertain quite a little in a quiet
way. But the 400 do not care for her
and she does not care for social func-
tionS.
