A special meeting of the board of ed
ueati0n was held last evening at the
high school. 1t was called at the re-
. quest Of the real estate committee,
which desired the approval of the
board as to certain expenses in new
buildings. Vice President George F..
KuhleS occupied the chair. in the alb
sence of President G. l.. Haas, and In
spectors Croonquist, Heinemann, Rod
ger, POstlethwaite, Foley, Merrill and
Superintendent Gilbert were present.
The committee on high schools rec
commended that class for instruction
in mathematics and mechanical draw
ing be established in connection with
the Academy of Science, for the benefit
of many young men and school teachers
employed in the city. 1t was recon-
mended that night high school be es-
tablished for the purpose. the fees of
tuition being the same as those of the
night schools. Thirty-four persons had
signed their names to the recon-
mendatiOn, desiring the instruction
asked for. The matter was viewed ia
vorably by the board. and the report of
the committee adopted. Leave of alb
sence for one year without pay was
granted to Miss Kate Putnam, principal
of the Hancock school, and B. G. Eaton
was appointed to fill the vacancy, both
leave of absence and appointment 10
date from Sept. 90. The committee OH
schools. recommended that in all pri-
mary schools where the principals did
not have separate rooms for their use
the accommodation be furnished.
Supt. Gilbert, in answer to the preSi-
dent, said that the work of the schools
would be facilitated if the principals
had rooms of their own in which they
could transact their work, which at
school rooms where the regular classes
are held. The ROOMS are being pro-
vided in the Sibley and Lafayette
schools, but the question of expense in
other schools was matter which the
board carefully considered. The neceS-
sary additions in the Monroe school
would cost S2,700.
Inspector Henemann suggested that
rooms be provided for instruction in
German i'll certain schools, where at
present the language was being taught
in the hall, a system incOnvenient and
dangerous to the health of the pupils in
WlHtCI ttLl6.
The president informed the board that
In many of the schools the rooms could
only be provided in the basement.
Inspector Heinemann said he was
strongly opposed to having any base
ment rooms used for tuition, as it would
be highly dangerous to health.
Inspector CroOnquiSt was not in favor
of changing the plans of any of the
schools, which would be very expensive.
The real estate committee had been
authorized to provide the rooms asked
for. but found that in some schools the
expense would be heavy, and they asked
the further consent of the board as to
whether they should continue the work.
A general discussion followed as to
| the adviSiabllity of using basement
| rooms, which some of the members OF
members of the board considered un-
| healthy.
Inspector Postlethwaite said that I'M
| less the basement rooms were used, it
would be impossible to provide the nee
cessary accommodation. He did not con-
slider basement rooms unhealthy.
| Inspector Heinemann replied that he
would rather abandon his suggestion
| that German elOcution rooms be pro-
| vided, than have children taught in
| Easements.
The president informed the board
| that Easements were only being used in
| Rice, Washington and Monroe schools,
| and that the rooms were not unhealthy.
The board finally decided to instruct
| the real estate committee to go ahead
with the work authorized at the last
meeting of the board. The decision of
| the board will authorize easements to
be used for tuition.
