The Board OF Education met last

were drawn for the amount. Mr.. Alex
nnder stated there were more children
at No. S.than could beadmitted and he
suggested that an addition OF two
rooms be built.
MI. pyle said the finances would
have TO be carefully watched OF there
would be more building than could be
paidsfor.
The motion OF Mr.. Alexander to APP
point committee was adopted, and

Joseph Pyle, on new colored school
at Fifth aud Scott streets, said that the
committee had come to the conclusion
to use some OF the plans and specifica-
hons already presented for new school
houses.
A communication was received from
Hofiecker & Hoffecker, stating that
the title to tho lot purchased from
George W. Bush at Fifth and Scott
streets was clear.
Mr.. Pyle wanted to know II It would
be lawful to borrow $1,000 from Incl
dental appropriations, to pay on the
lot before the regular appropriation
came In August.
President Baird said 1t would not be.
Mr.. Pyle then said he guessed Mr..
Bush would allow them to proceed
with the building without tho money
until August.
DR.. Morgan asked Mr.. Pyle how
much the new school for colored chill
dren would cost. Mr.. Pyle replied
about $4,000. DR., Morgan continued,
and eaid he thought school could bs
built at Fifth and Scott streets for
4 81, 600 or $4,000 and then enough
could he saved from the appropriation
70 put the addition to No. 8.
Mr.. Pyle said the new school was 10
take the place OF two other schools and
he did not see how the board could get
along without an eight-roomed house.
DIR. Morgan still thought that some
might be saved for an addition to No.
On motion OF DR.. Morgan the Com
mittee on Manual Training was in
etrlieted to Introduce wood working
Into No. 10 school.

Memorial Day parade was accepted.
The board was about to adjourn
when President Baird called attention
10 the fact that he had been member
OF the board for twenty years and of
the men who were members at That
time many had passed away. The most
recent removal from that number was
Dr.. Grimshaw. He had his own ideas
and some OF them were exceedingly
good ones. He had his differences, but
when those differences were over he
was ready TO shake hands with those
who had differed. 1t would he we'll, he
thought, to take some recognition OF
that death
Mr. Pyle endorsed all that had beer
20 veil said by President Baird, and
moved that u co nmittee of five, OF
which the president should be chair
man, be appointed to take such ac
kion.
DIR. Morgan heartily seconded u o re
solution. He said that he remember
Cd DIR. Grimshlw In 1857, when hC
visited old No. 4 school and gave

Grimshaw visited the High School OF
French street at its opening. Again ht
temembered when with him In tht

principles.
