\ Lively meeting OF she board OF I'D
ucaslon-schools TO be Inspected
and Kvery one Must ne vaoclnated
-Anosher school Bxhlbltion.
A long and lively meeting was held by the
Board of Education last night. Several
questions of much importance were discussed
till the members grew weary of the subject
and then referred to the school committee to
investigate and report. This committee will
undoubtedly have enough to keep them busy
till the next meeting. But little Roadway
was made in revised rnles.
Mr.. Howarth raised . notable question in
the matter Of assistant teachers In Room 10
of the grammar schools. He said there were
no rules regulating their salaries and asked
what governed the school committee in FIX
ing their salaries.
Mr.. Plunkett thought these assistants were
entirely wrong and ought to be abolished.
A long discussion followed. Superintendent
Dutton explained that the assistants arose
from custom of the old training school of
placing one teacher in each school to gain
experience. The board seemed to think that
the second class, which is In charge of the
assistant, could not receive the attention
which the frat class did as the matter was
referred to the school committee.
Mr.. Adler then put several sharp ques-
tions about the limit of the salaries of sub
stitute teachers. Another long talk followed
and this was also referred to the school COM
mittae.
Mr.. Howarth had been looking over the
school catalogue and began to ask questions
about the rule for regulating the salaries in
Welch School, He found there was nene
ho lid lilo aud ofhara mi
him. Then followed a discussion whether
everything could be regulated by rule. Mr..
Plunkett thought II impossible but Messrs.
Howard and Adler thought cast iron rules
were the only thing to prevent favoritism.
Finally this matter was also referred to the
same committee.
Vaccination was another thing that
troubled the board. They wrestled with it
till about II O'Clock. Mr.. Adler read state
law requiring all pupils to be vaccinated.
Mr.. Avis was in favor of q sweeping rule
compelling pupils, teachers and all employees
of the board to give satisfactory evidence of
vaccination.
Captain O'Brien strenuously objected.
Chow are you going to do it," he asked.
"Make every one pull mp their sleeves and
show It," replied Mr.. Adler.
1.-THE young ladies are not vaccinated on
the arm," argued Mr.. Leigh.
Ex-senator Plunkett put on his overcoat
and glossy tile and departed.
After O long discussion resolution was
passed to employ physician who should go
through all of the schools and examine every
pupil, teacher, janitor and the like and have
them vaccinated.
The rules were then altered so that no
pupil or employe of the district can enter the
schools until satisfactory evidence of vaccin-
alton is given.
Superintendent Dutton in his report
strongly recommended giving another large
school exhibition In the High School build
ing. He said the last one was attended by
50, 900 persons, and that it gave an excellent
presentation of the work of the schools.
Mr.. Howarth did not see what good such
an exhibition would do to the schools.
President Graves thought there was GER
tain amount of educational inspiration in it.
"What class of people does that reach
further than the children reach?" asked Mr..
HowArth.
sIt strikes me 1t is good" said Mr.. Avis.
"Its Just like seeing picture"
''But why isn't 1t better to see the origi-
nalq'' pertly queried Mr.. Howarth.
Major Strong and ex-senator Piunkett
favored the idea.
Mr.. Howarth thought it more of dress
parade unless the every day work alone was
exhibited.
Mr.. Adler thought any such exhibit was
The matter was referred to the committee
on achools.
The matter of High school graduating ex-
ercises was also referred to the committee ON
schools to inquire and report.
