The report was accepted and adopted
Next in order was the election of two
trustees in place of Messrs. j. W. Free
and II. w. Broughton, whose terms had
expired. The meeting seemed to be in
accord with the suggestion of the
NORTHERNER of last week, rs both these
gentlemen were reelected by a unani-
nous vote.
For several years DR.. Maynard has
cherished the hope that the school
board would be authorized to construct
fire escapes from the third and second
floors of the school building, and now
that the district was out of debt he earn
estly urged that action be taken on this
matter, to the end that the lives of the
pupils on these floors might be con-
sidered safe. X. w. Noyes made mo-
ton embodying the views of the direc-
tor and authorizing the board to in
form themselves as to the expense of
the construction of suitable fire escapes,
and that if it could be done at a reason
able figure to haye them put upon the
building at once. The motion was
carried without dissenting vote.
A communication was sent in to the
meeting urging the establishment of a
kindergarten department to our school,
and motion was made to that effect.
The matter was discussed to some length
and the motion lost by decisive vote.
The subject of the expenses of com
mencement was discussed to some
length, and finally motion prevailed
authorizing the board to charge an adj
mission fee of 10 cents to the commence
ment exercises, it being urged in favor
of the motion that, if it kept some out
siders away, it would give the patrons
of the school more room and better
chance to witness and enjoy the eXer-
cises.
Several matters of minor importance
were discussed in general way, in
quiries made, etc, which evidenced the
interest felt by the taxpayers in the
school, and everything passed off
tremendously.
