There are comparatively few changes in
the list over last year in the old schools,
and the new teachers have been placed
mostly In the new school-houses. Many
of the old teachers asked for certain posi-
lions and all but two of them were placed
where they desired. All of the old princi-
pals, with the exception of Prof. Hollen-
beck. OF the High school, were retained.
The board wants a High school building
in the new A. A. Denny plat, just about to
be thrown on the market, but Mr.. Denny
cannot yet say whether he will have a
block or not after those he has promised
lots make their selections. There is hope
among the members of the board that
there will be enough failures to purchase of
the persons who have options on lots to
give them whole block in good location.
Four janitors for the four new school
houses now in course of construction were
elected. Their salaries are to be SIS per
month. counting twelve months in year.
The new janitors are all ex-carpenters and
will be expected to keep the broken win
dows and fences in order. There names
are: Mercer school. George w. Wells;
Pontius school, J. L. Melvin; Minor
school. p. N. Calberg; Jackson school, /.
n Eek.
Upon request of Mrs. Dr. Minor, the
name of the Minor school resently named,
was changed to the 1T. T. Minor school,"
Several bills were audited by the board.
Hanford & Beach viii receive $3.50 for in
surance on the threebig scho oil houses, and
Jones & Eldred for Gaping and enclosing
bulkhead and building stairs on Central
school grounds will receive 81 800. The sum
of IS 900 was ordered paid to each of the con-
tractors of the new jackson street and
Pontius school buildings.
Clerk Hawthorne's bond for IS. 600 was
submitted and approved.
1t is probable that the board will elect a
drawing teacher and music teacher before
the opening of the schools in September.
Two rooms are 10 be fitted up in the
third story of the Central school for recita-
ton rooms.
All the members of the board except
Director Cokett were present at last nights
meeting Mr.. Colkett's absence was on ac-
count of the fact that he is fishing on
Fidalgo island.
