Mr. Dandy moved that the board
draw upon the city treasurer for the
monthly appropriation, and it was
adopted.
Ten dollars was ordered to be paid to
the ianitor of No. school.
The committee on No. % school re-
ported that the bill of J. S. Clark for
work done on that school could not be
paid by the board, because Mr.. Clark
was sub-contractor, and therefor the
board had no jurisdiction. 1t was
adopted.
The pay roll of officers and janitors,
amounting to $915.3S, and miscellaneous
bills, amounting to $1,9O5.O6, were Or
dered paid.
DIR. Morgan, of the committee on re-
pairs, moved that the cost of repairing
No. 8 school be $50 for the roof, and it
was adopted. He said new chimneys
are also needed. The tin work around
the roof was rusted, and the cost of its
repair was included in a 500 appropria-
ton.
The committee on teachers reported
as follows:
Your committee would respectfully re-
port that they have transferred Miss Sallie
Evans from No. 25 school to the position
vacant in No. school by the resignation
of Miss Sallie NJ. Jones, and Miss Kate
Thatcher from No. II to the principalship
Of No: 25 that they have promoted MISS
Lizzie Wolaston to the charge at No. i, at
a salary of $3.50 per year; that they have
appointed Miss Martha j. Williams to tn
lowest position in No. %, and Miss Mar
Grandell to the lowest position in No. 3.
Also, that your committee have appointed
Miss Joanna Mclaughlin as teacher OF
sewing in high and grammar schools.
An order for S452 was drawn in favor
of George L. Speer for slate work at the
schools.
DR.. Morgan reported that George I.
Speer had offered to put in slate black
boards for 20, 2S or 30 cents per foot,
according to width. No action, how
ever, was taken.
Mr.. Trump moved that the Howard
school committee be allowed to have
room fitted up in the basement at cost
of 1926 for cooking purposes.
Mr.. Coyle said his impression was
that there was to be no expense attached
in this direction.
Mr.. O'Donnell held that the board had
no right to incur such expenses.
Mr.. Alexander said the girls should
have the same rights as the boys as re-
CARDS manual training.
Mr.. O'Donnell again arose and said
the board had no right to turn tao
schools into workshops.
Mr.. Trump said the committee had
been authorized to eXpend the money
without asking the board, but the COM
mittee wanted to learn the feeling of
the board in the matter.
President Baird informed the members
that they must not expect the intro
duction Of cooking to cost nothing.
DIR. Morgan, chairman of No. 16
school, as member of the committee
to consider the introduction of wood
working into the Howard school, said
| lllG CtSb lpl I-Nllit1 W VAlS AO'iAtApA SNprh-
ing and wood working would be 5000.
1t is the only chance, said Mr.. Morgan,
for colored youths to learn a practical
trade. Instructor Whitehead, of car
pentering, at the high school, would
leach the colored boys for one hour each
afternoon, for an additional $500 salary.
Mr. O'Donnell and Mr.. S. II. Smith
then became engaged in controversy
over the advisability of manual training
in conjunction with the regular ourri-
culum, which was ended by President
Baird saying the subject had been
thoroughly ventilated.
The expenditure of $125 in fitting up
the room was ordered
DR.. Morgan moved that the commit
tee be allowed $500 for putting manual
training into effect at the Howard
school, but Mr.. S. r. Smith thought the
$500 additional salary was exorbitant.
DR.. Morgan then said he would reduce
his total amount to $400-$200 to tho
instructor. Mr.. S. r. Smith wanted the
matter postponed for two weeks.
Mr.. Ross wanted the instructors adj
ditional salary fixed at 500.
The matter was postponed for two
weeks.
Dr. Shortlidge moved that manual
training be added to the school commit
tee on the introduction of cooking into
the Howard school. Adopted.
