Ford of room No. 4, Carlisle street school, who has been seriously i'll with the grip and desired the leave of absence in order to recuperate. 1 The committee on schools recommended that Miss Anna Rodgers, late of the Os- wego Training school, who has been for the past twelve days teaching at No. 7, Hallock street school, be employed on trial.

Strong and Sheridan, who ob- jected on the ground that the plan of the committee of placing teachers in a school and afterward recommending that they be appointed was not good policy. MT.
