The resolution offered by Or. Nor
tdi TT u ttltbllllR regulating
the keeping OF children in at noon
came up fer action. The resolution
forbade the keeping OF primary school
children in at all at noon and re-
stticted grammar school children
TO fifteen minutes.

prepared to vote upon that resolution
and wanted to hear Superintendent
Hurlans opinion on the question.
AaaF. siKNf 4
some cases 1t WAS necessary, in his
opinion. to keep scholars in after
school, for some of them are not
studious and idle away their time.
This was said in regard to grammar
schools. In primary schools ho did
not much believe in punishment. and
the teacher who cannot govern small
children except by punishment is not
much OF teacher. In some cases
teachers may have been indiscreet.
Mr.. Ross moved to amend the reso-
luton by making it fifteen minutes in
all cases.
Mr.. Trump thought the committees
could remedy the difficulty and tnero
was no occasion for action.
President Baird remarked that the
present rule forbade the keeping in at

that tho committees could remedy the
matter.
DIR. Shortlidge did not object to the
present rules, but 60 the abuse of the
:. rules. Children are sometimes kept
- " for an hour.
ADst Aeraan said that little children
were kept in after school to make up
NE time they consume in going out.
Some teachers would rather keep chill
uren in at noon than evening, for they
hasten to get away from school in the
evening.
Mr.. Trump thought such cases were
very rlre.
Mr.. Baynald thought the Board was
getting too lenient, teachers should
nave authority to compel children To
obey the rules.
