A WRANGLING SCHOOL BOARD.

Bayonne's Trustees Do Little Business
with Lot of Fuss.
School Trustee Allen was not present
last evening at the meeting of the Bay
onne Board of Education, but Trustee
Seymour called up his measure to super
sede the City Inspector Of Schools and
the Boards secretary with city suDerin
tendent Trustee Flugel offered an
amendment to strike out the provision to
have the superintendent act as the
Boards secretary. In the debate that
followed Trustees Hennessey, Doyle,
Flugel and Seymour took part, while
vocating Trustee Aliens proposition
Trustee Flugeps amendment was lost by
a vote of two in favor to eleven opposed.
President TrRsk not voting.
Trustee Aliens measure was also lost,
the vote being seven in favor to seven
opposed. Trustee Hennessey moved to
elect a secretary, and the motion pre-
vailed. Trustee Hennessey renominated
George w. Shredder There were no other
nominees and Mr.. Shredder was re-
elected. Trustee Hennessey moved that
the secretary's salary be fixed at $3.50 per
year. Trustee Seymour amended to
make the amount $500. He said that he
understood Mr.. Shredder was willing to
take lower salary rather than lose his
position. Secretary Shredder denied the
veracity of the statement. The amend
ment was lost. and the salary set at $3.50.
A motion by Trustee Doyle to elect an
inspector. prevailed. Trustee Doyle re-
nominated the Rev. Henry w. f. Jones.
Trustee Seymour forcibly expressed him
self in opposition to the reelection of Mr..
Jones, whom he characterized as q fail
ure as an inspector of schools. One bal
lot was taken. the vote standing seven in
his favor to seven blanks. A motion by
Trustee Flugel to postpone the election
was carried. Trustee Seymour
then called up his own amend
ment to the Boards manual
to increase from $500 to $1,000
the salary of the head assistant in the
Academic Department. The measure
was lost by vote of three to ten. Trustee
Seymour gave notice that at the next
meeting he would move to amend the
manual by alterations in the boundaries
of school districts. He also urged that
some recognition be given to graduates.
1t had been decided to establish seventy
per cent. in each study as the
average for graduates of the Gram
mar Departments for admission
to the Academic Department. The
former Figure was sixty-five per cent.
At the recent examination for admission
into the Academic Department there were
thirty-fve applicants. Two failed to
reach the average, fourteen failed in some
one study, and nineteen passed with fly
ing colors. AT the conclusion of the
meeting Trustees Griswold and Johnston
expressed themselves as disgusted at the
wrangling, and intimated that they prob
ably would resign.
