The committee Oh German reported
that without increasing the expense ii
will be possible to lepgthen the time of
recitatiOnS to forty minutes day for
each class, which time we believe to be :
as long as a child OF theag of children,
in the seventh and eighth grades can
with profit give TO the continuous study
of one subject, and therefore recon-
mended that Mr.. EiSfeldt be taken from
the Quincy school and assigned to work
in German, and that the superintendent
be instructed to see that forty minutes
is allowed for each German recitation
throughout the city.
The report was amended and adopted,
the amendment being thatif practicable
the time be divided so that German
shall be taught twenty minutes in the
forenoon and twenty minutes in the
afternoon.
The committee on high and manual
training schools reported in favor of
opening the night high school the first
week in October, and that fee of 50 be
charged for a term of three months,
eight evenings month. to be paid i'll
advance: this for adults. Also that
Mrs. J. ID. Sewell be appointed to teach
English and mathematics during the
absence of Miss Harriet B. Newson.
The report was adopted. Last Monday
evening the registration for the
night high school began. and now.
with the authorization of the reso-
luton just mentioned. the school
will open this evening. The night high
school will be held at the manual train
ing building during the present year.
Glasses have been formed in mechani-
cal drawing. algebra, geometry, general
history, English literature, arithmetic.
English composition, Latin and chemiS-
try. OF these classes chemistry will be
taught Monday and Wednesday even
ings, and all other classes Tuesday and
Thursday evenings.
The committee on fuel and janitors
made the following report, which was
adopted:
In obedience to the order of the board
passed at the meeting, Aug. %, 1892, we
beg leave to present the following re-
port of schedule of salaries for janitors:
According to this schedule the total cost
of the care of the buildings for the cur
rent year would be $32, ITO, which is
saving of 50, $50 more than the $1,000 re-
auired; this is done without reducing
the salary of any janitor below reason
able figure, in some cases giving them
more than they formerly received, and
making. each janitor. with the exception
of the one i'll the high school, respon-.
sible for the entire building, and paying
him enough to allow him to employ such
assistance as ihe needs. In several in
stances we have given him more in the
winter than in the summer, because of
the increased work.
We recommend that for services in
the night schools, janitors and EN-
gineers be paid the same salary
as heretofore; engineers 81 per night,
janitors 80 cents for one room and 25
cents a room for more than one room,
provided, however, that no janitor re-
ceive more than 81 per night. sn.
We recommend that the supervisor of
repairs be constituted supervisor of jan
itors; that 1t be made a part of his duties
as he visits the different schools to see
that the work of the janitors is properly
performed, and when necessary, to in
struct janitors in their duties aud to re-
port 10 the committee on janitors in
stances of misconduct or failure to per-
form their duties on the part of janitors.
1t turned out that the schedule was
not quite completed by Secretary White,
and it was not given out for publication.
The committee on schools will holds
special meeting Friday evening to con-
slider the case of school teacher who
was not re-emplOyed.
