AT the meeting of the Board of Educa-

Director Harrison, from the Committee
on Rules and Regulations, reported that
the committee recommended that the
superintendent be allowed SIS per month
extra for the services of an assistant for
the remainder of the term. This was in
ORDER to enable the Superintendent to
visit the schools more frequently.
Dlreetor Sherburn was not in favor of
the proposition. He thought if an assist
ant was TO be hired the board ought to
name the person and pay the money di-
rectly 10 him. He understood that the
superintendent was now drawing an adj
dltional salary, as exofficio Truant Off
GER.
The city charter was referred to, and it
was ascertained that the law provided for
2 superintendent and Truant officer, the
latter to receive salary OF $50, 10 be paid
| out OF the amount allowed the Superin-
| tentient.
Mr.. Hart now draws the salary of
superintendent and also that allowed for
a 1ruant Oiucer, and the members of the
board thought that it would not be law
1ul to allow him an additional sum.
M. mart asked that the matter be
dropped, and it was so ordered.
