were present, besides Professors Russell

moved that the board advertl.sf for bids for
tracts of ground 150x15O feet square for
school sites, one between Centerville and
Bette and the other between Butte aad
the Parrot snte3tdr. (
About &he sale Of the Central school
property II was decided that nothing
could be done until the fall election, as
the board was unanimous In the opinion
that O special election would cost. too
much to Justify the holding Of 6ne now.
The question Of obtaining plans for the
two proposed school houses was then dis.
cussed At length. Finally Il was decided
dfaw plans for the two school buildings
which Il is proposed TO erect, and submit
them TO the board.

Butte and many OF them AVE formerly
taught school here. Over 200 applications
were also received from persons living
outside Of the city, but 1t was the feeling
of the board that the positions should be
given TO those residing In Butte wherever
Il was possible.
Professor Russell having been appoint
ed superintendent of the city schools and
Professor Steer principal OF the high
school at the previous meeting OF the
board, there was nothing to he lone ut
to-night's meeting I'm reference to these
positions. Professor Steer was placed in
full charge of the high school and the
matter of selecting his two assistants was
left exclusively to himself.

pointed with the salaries named:

Mr.. Russell was allowed the privilege
of transferring the teachers from one
grade 10 another according to his discre.
lion. The board very sensibly enlarged
the power Of Superintendent Russell and
Principal Steer in the matter of arranging
the school work and the placing OF the
teachers i'm the different departments OF
the district. THIS will undoubtedly result,
in increasing the efficiency of Tho public
and high school work of the city.
The board then adjourned until a week
from mex Monday evening.
High school graduating exercises will
be held at Maguire's opera house on the
evening of the 18th of June, Manager Ma
