THE PEABODY INSTITUTE TO BIZ HELD IN
SEPTEMBER,
Superintendent Anderson reported fur.
ther, as follows; "For several years past
we have mad q Peabody Institute held
here for the benefit Of our teachers,
With but one exception this has been
held during the week Of Thanksgiving,
the sessions being held on the day pre-
ceding and the day following Thanks
giving,
State Superintendent B. s, Morgan
informs me that the expenses OF secur-
ing instructors for those two days is
about the same as for an entire week, l
would, therefore, respectfully recon-
mend that instead of having our schools
commence on the first Monday In Sep.
TENDER, a~cCoTdlngto the rule, we devote
the first week to Institute work instead
Of school, for the following reasons:
First, The teachers will have the bene-
III OF what they learn during the Insti-
tute at the beginning OF their years
work, Second, Our school year begins
early, and the weather Is usually hot.
Third, A whole week at the first will in
terrupt less than two or three DAYS after
school is well under way. Fourth,
About Thanksgiving time our teachers
have not the right spirit in institute
work, as most oil them make and receive
visits"
The Board authorized the superin.
tendent to have Peabody Institute held
here In September as he recommended,
Librarian Wilson reported that during
the month OF June 4,443 books had been
taken out Of the Library for home use,
an average OF us volumes per day, and
that the circulation in the reading room
had been ST. volumes, The amount re-
ceiyed from fines, ETC., was $40. This re-
port was also ordered filed,
CONFIRMING THE TEACHERS.
The Committee on German Language
reported that in compliance with the
rules and regulations governing the
Board, the committee had visited the
schools Of tho district and noted with
great pleasure the progress made by the
pupils Of the German Department, under
the skillful and efficient instruction OF
the teachers. The committee reported
having appointed the following teachers
In this department for the ensuing year,
and recommended their confirmation,
which was done: Louise Mann, Lena
Riegel, +. A. BertsChy and Anna Laser,
regulars; T~husnelda X. Krauter and
Minnie X. Neuhart, first and second
substitutes.
Following this the nominations by the
Commissioners OF the several districts OF
the teachers for their schools for tho
coming year were made. No changes
were made In the corps employed last
year, and the Conhrmations proceeded
without an interruption till Richie, the
last school on the list, was reached.
q DR.. Pipes and Mr.. Eschstruth had q
list OF nominations tho names OF which
were the same that have been on the
Boards pay roll the past year, with the
exception that the name OF D. 7. Will
liams was presented for the office OF
principal, in place Of T. II. Crago's. DR..
Mccoy had a minority list OF nomina-
tons in which the name OF Miss
Howard, who has been a substitute, was
substituted for that OF Miss ELLA ].
Stephens. In all other respects the
nominations were the same.
Mr.. Davis moved that the minority
nominations be confirmed, and then the
fun started. pr. Pipes said that he was
not actuated by personal motives In op.
posing Professor Crago, but that the
good Of the school demanded bis re-
moval. He recited a list OF dereliCtions
OF duty which he alleged Professor
Crago had been guilty OF. Or. Mccoy
defended Professor Crago warmly. He
said he did not think IL necessary to ex-
plain fully the cause Of the attack made
on him. With reference TO the fact
that Miss Stephens nname was not on
his list, he also did not think 1t neces-
sary to make any explanations. The
minority report (Dr. MCCoy's nomina.
tious) were finally confirmed by 4 vote
oil II TO I. Those who voted against It
were Ebellng, Ellingham, EsChstruth,
Harrell, Pipes, White and President
Miller. The latter explained his vote,
by stating that he did not desire to vote
against Miss Stephens.
DR.. DiCkey moved to reconsider this
vote in order that Miss Stephens name
might receive special consideration.
After some ~wrangling the vote was re-
considered and on motion Of DR.. Pipes
the majority nominations were substi.
tuted for the minority nominations,
with the name OF Professor Williams
scratched opt and that Of Professor
Crago inserted. This made the list OF
teachers nominated Che same as those
employed last year, and in that shape
the nominations were confirmed, An
effort was made to have Miss Stepllens'
name brought up separately, so that m
out-and.out vote could be had on her
case, but It failed.
