He Will Hold His Place at
the High School.
\ SENSATIONAL WIND-UP.
Two Members of the Board of Educa-
tion Come Near Settling
Difference With Fists.


Education. were out in force last evening.
and long before the members took their
seats the gallery was fully occupied by
rows of determined little feminine figures.
They had heard before they came that
Mr.. GolGstein was to be reinstated, tenn
porarily at all events, but that was by no
means sufficient for them. They wanted
that "Odious" resolution abolishing the
teaching of drawing in their school recon
sdered altogether.
The matter was brought before the board
by the reading of the following recon-
mendatlon by President Hyde:
Genilemen AT the last meeting of this board
instruction IN drawing In the Boys and Girls
High School OF this city was ordered dscon-
tnued. This action has met with opposition
from MANY OF lie pupils aud teachers in ihe
Girls High School, and others intere Ted therein
who claim that drawing Is an important aud
necessary part of The instruction. IL is further
urged that teacher should not be dismissed
without timely notice, and that an opportunity
should be allowed Tor tile presentation OF all OBJ
1ecll0ns before resolution OF tbls importance
goes into effect.
Giving due weight to these obi ctions. beg
10 recommend that the matter be reeUnsidered
ana that the teaching OF drawing IN the GrlS
High School he temporarily resumed md that
the same be discontinued afIer he close OF The
term, and that The position OF teacher OF draw
ting in said school be declared vacant from and
after The close OF tile present fiscal year. This
tentiOn OF the board, and Will affoid 0pDOT-
tunlty for tile presentation of objections and the
fullest consid ration thereof.
Director Clinton said there Is not high
school in the world where drawing is not in
the curriculum. He noted with pleasure
the presidents change OF heart, and trusted
in future such snap Judgment would not be
taken on faithful teacher.
Superintendent SWEET moved postpone
ment of consideration of the matter for two
weeks. As he understood it Mr.. Goldstein
was still liable to be discharged at the end
of the term.
Carew moved as a substitute that the ac-
ti0n of the board at its last meeting be dis
approved, and that Franz Goldstein be reins
stated as teacher of drawing.
The chair ruled the motion out of order,
whereupon Clinton took an appeal from the
ruling.
Ames was posed to committing the
. board to any course Of action as to the re-
tentlon of drawing or of any particular
teacher.
This drew forth an indignant protest from
Superintendent SWEET who was loudly ap-
plauded by the girls in the gallery. He
challenged the motives aud the manliness
OF those who had antagoniZed faithful and
compete Mt teacher in this indirect way.
Ames replied warmly that the subject of
dividing up or cOnsolid ting the classes in
drawing would bear careful consideration.
The 6oard In adopting the presidents
recommendations would be exhibiting a
proper regard for the welfare OF the tax
payers.
Rosenwaid said, that as a teacher himself,
he approved of the teaching of drawing in
the schools, Sut he thought by adopting the
presidents resolution, ample time would be
given for reconstructing the classes and get
thug assistance.i if necessary.
After some fGrther remarks by Directors
Clinton and French, the ruling of the chair
against Carew's substitute motion was sus-
tained, and the original recommendation of
the president was put and carried.
This virtually terminated the matter. and
number OF petitions, etc, in favor of re-
taln!ug the drawing classes, with Mr.. Gold
stein as teacher, were simply referred 10
comm tees.
The board approved the report OF the
Committee on Classification, which, among
other things, opens new class in the Fair
mount School, with Miss L. K Piper In
charge. E. c. Fitzpatrick was elected to the
position of principal of the Horace Mann
Evening School. The restrictions on the
study of arithmetic, especially as TO the
number OF hours and home study of this
subject were approved.
The following probationary teachers we're
elected regular teachers: Miss NJ. Irwin,
Garfield Primary School; Miss NJ a. Nc
Lean, Hawthorne Primary School; Miss l..
A. Johnson. South-eHd Primary. School;
Miss May V. Arnold, Chinese Primary

The boa-d approved otthe report of tile
Commi tee on Salaries fixing the compensa-
ton of the chief marshal and his deputies at
Sc, and the other census marshals at S5 q

Director Clinton Indignantly protested
against smart practice and snap judgment
He denounced in the strongest terms the
action OF the president in reinstatine a
teacher on his own authority.
President Hyde raped his gavel angrily,
but this only exasperated Clinton still fur
ther.
Director French arose to defend the
presidents course and Clinton retortsng
