Architect L. w Robinson appeared last
evening before the board of education to
submit plans for the proposed new Quin-
nipiac school on North Quinnipiac street.
The plans were designed for four-room
building, two stories in height, and SIM
liar to those used for the Lloyd and Orch
ard street schools. The heating will be by
the Smead system, and the building,
when completed, will be rather devoid Of
ornamental effects, though not without
some beauty. The arrangements within
for light will be excellent. The total cost
will not be over $14, 900, probably. The
matter was referred to the committee on
buildings to advertise for bids. ..z.--.e -
Mr.. Day was unanimously Reelected sec
rotary for the ensuing year, at the same
salary; but on suggestion Of Mr.. Adler the
salary part of the vote was reconsidered
and motion made to increase it to 81 800,
as merited compensation for the addi-
tional work that has been put upon him.
This was 80 voted. When Mr.. Day was
informed of this he acknowledged it with
evident appreciation. On account of i'll
health the board voted to grant him va
cation Of three weeks. He has been in
miserable health for some time and will
soon leave for Florida.
Those rules for which the school princi-
pals were called in last Monday night to
give their views and experience came up
for further consideration. Mr.. Adler
moved that the school year be changed to
September. Though the principals were
nearly all in favor of the present system
yet some of the members Of the board
were strong in favoring the. change.
When put to vote the motion was lost.
That matter of salaries was referred back
to the committee according to the request
of the principals but the system of grad
ing recommended by the COMMITTEES was
voted.
Captain O'Brien spoke Of complaints
made to him of truant scholars running
about the streets. He said that he himself
