older than that. Unless the Direc-
tors will agree to admit all school
children it would be foolish to close
the high schools"
We've had holidays enough" said
Mr.. Boldenweck.
Not one pupil in five would 90 to
the Fair" said Mr.. Stanford. "Chil-
dren can't go alone and the parents
of poor children cannot afford to go
with them. I'm opposed to the prop
osition." Mr.. Stanford asked that
the matter be deferred and published.
This would kill the measure, for the
board does not meet again for two
weeks and there were cries against
it. Mr.. Thornton said directors of
the Fair had said all school children
will be admitted for 10 cents. Messrs.
Boldenweck and Stanford insisted
that the matter be laid over to the
next meeting.
A motion to suspend the rules in
order to put the report on its pas
sage was lost by vote of 10 to ), it
requiring eleven votes to suspend the
rules. The report was therefore de-
ferred to the next session.
Mr.. Thornton then offered a reso-
luton to the same effect. Mr.. Stan
ford objected, claiming it was of the
same natdre as the other. Mr.. Bold
enweck tried to get it sent to COM
mittee, but the Chair would not en-
terrain the motion. Great disorder
the meeting at this
point. as it had during the entire
evening. and the Chairman pounded
the head off the gayel in trying to
order. Mr.. Thornton's
resolution was passed by the follow
ing vote:
Yeast. Brennan, J. J. Badenoch,
G. L. Warner, Mrs. J. M. Flower, P.
II. Duggan, T. Cusack, E. G. Halle,
NJ. J. Keane, c. S. Thornton, Mrs.
c. X. Sherman, Mr.. President.
Nays. Rosenthal, w. Bolden-
week W H. Beebe, G. W. Stanford.
