Police superintendent Charles r. |
BolIman a Candidate-Changes in
Teachers.
When the designations of Messrs. How
arth and Adler were read before the
board of education last evening, Mr.. Avis
raised the point that it was not proper to
Bring the matter before the board at this
time, as the meeting was really a con-
tinuance of the last meeting of the board
when Messrs. Howarth and Adler were
designations were laid on the table until
the next regular meeting, which will be
held Friday evening of next week.
Another candidate for one of the vacan-
cies on the board, caused by the resigna-
tions of Messrs. Howarth and Adler, made
his appearance in the field last evening,
when the following communication was
read:

Miss Mclaughlin, who is at present an
extra teacher at the Winchester school, was
| appointed to No. in the Edwards street
| school, to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Miss Cook at a salary of
$500. Miss Mamie A. Keefe was appointed
extra teacher in the Winchester school.
In the Dwight school the following
changes were made: Helen M. Thomas,
| from A TO 6; Harriet E: Trowbridge,
from B to A; Norah A. Sweeney, from
to B; Lena II. Nichols, from B to 4;
| Charlotte A. Clark, from 3 to B; Miss
|
| 8; Helen A. Austin as extra teacher. In
none of these cases were the salaries raised.
| The changes were necessitated in conse-
quence of the absence of Miss Isbell, who
is absent from the city. Some time since
Miss Isbell asked the board for leave of alb
sence for a year, but the request was not
| granted.
The first report of the new committee
on special instruction was made. The
committee recommended that George
Booth, a brother of Malcolm Booth of
the High school, be temporarily appointed
as instructor in the commercial depart
ment at the High school at salary of
$1,000. The appointment was made OF
condition that should Mr.. Booth not prove
satisfactory his services should be dis
posed of.
His appointment was made necessary by
the resignation of Thomas Wallace, the
present instructor in this department in
the High school. Mr.. Wallace desires to
be released in consequence of the fact that
his wife's health is seriously impaired by
the climate of this city.
Mr.. Plunkett was of the opinion thai
the resignation should not be accepted
hastily, as he thought that it was possible
that Mr.. Wallace desired to get away il
order to accept a position elsewhere, anG
that was probably his main reason for re-
signing.
Mr.. Avis did not approve of these senti
ments and said that he firmly believed
that Mr.. Wallace was sincere in the reason
| he had assigned for his desiring tt
leave the city, and it was doing Mr.. Wal
lace great injustice not to accept hi
resignation, and also that there was moth
ing to prevent his leaving the city without
waiting to have his resignation accepted.
After some further discussion of thu
matter the resignation was laid over for
week.
The resignation of Miss Fannie G. Cool
of Edward street school was accepted.
George Gregory o. Dwyer. blind mai
whose home is in New York city and WHIT
gains livelihood by selling musical com
positions to the scholars of the variou
schools throughout the country
made his appearance before tn
board and asked permission to vi 81
the schools in this city and pla.
his productions at the close of the session
or at any other time when it would not in
terfere with the literary exercise of tn
schools.
President Graves announced to the boar(
that the rules prohibited the exhibition O
anything for sale on the school properties
and that it required thirds vote O
the board to suspend the rules and gran
the desired permission. Mr.. Avis the,
moved that the rules be suspended and tn
permission granted, and the board 81
| voted.
