The treasurer was authorized to pay Off
$500 school bond held by c. j. Quinn.
Mr.. O'Hearn moved that the school term
be fixed at 10 months. Mr.. Davenport amend.
ed to strike out the figures 40" and insert
80"
Mr.. Gallagher opposed the amendment and
said the board should not take a backward
step.
Mr.. Beddall said he didn't regard thu ex
pense of a ten month term as much as he did
the little work done during the tenth month.
He thought it would be an advantage to have
the children out of school during June.
Mr.. Hanna said that there isn't much in.
struction in the last month of any term as
that period is taken up by examinations.
lie thought that a reduction of the term
would create great dissatisfaction among the
taxpayers.
Mr.. Davenport answered he believed the
bu.k Of the taxpayers were not satisfied with
the increase of the school term and increase
of salaries made last year, as the increased
assessments had run up taxation to the
highest point the people can bear it. He
did not think the children advance any
more in ten months term than in one of
uine months.
Mr.. Hanna said the greatest good should be
done to the, greatest number. There are
number of people in the town who will not
be able to give their children the benefit of
education in the advanced grades, as they
will be obliged to send them to work, and for
that reason their children should be given
the advantages Of long terms while they can
go to school.
The amendment was finally defeated and
the school term fixed at ten months
The committee on heating and fuel was
authorized to secure new boiler and heating
apparatus for the Lloyd street building.
Superintendent Whitaker made statement |
on the arrangement of dates for the opening |
and closing of the next school term and the |
Board decided that the schools shall open ON
Monday, September 4, 1893, and the term
shall end ON June 26, 1894. This will not
allow for the usual Christmas holiday season,
but it will allow for the institute period.
