MINUTES IN THE DARK.
Miss Hannah e. Wilson moved that the
minutes of the meeting held November
% be taken up and read. The minutes of
this meeting were unique and Secretary
Earle is responsible for them. According
to the minutes, one-half the meeting was
conducted in the dark. The election of
Mr.. Wyckof TO the presidency, according
to the minutes, was in the dark. The
minutes stated that motion to adjourn
was seconded and never put by the arbi-

After the minutes had been read, Miss
Hannah K. Wilson moved to strike out
all of Secretary Earle's labors. The
question was put and 1t was decided to
strike out the Objectionable portion of
the minutes by vote of Is to H.

previous meeting it developed that the

After the meeting Mr.. Earle stated that
he never intended to prefer charges
against Mr.. Wyckoff, bnt that the other

the assertions might be.
Principal Wyckoff does not intend to
tion the Board of Education for permis-
sion to remove his children from Prin-
cipal Earle's school, and will also call the
which he has been subjected to.
