The recommendation was that the
above number be employed Tor the com
ing year, and 10 was adopted. The
Committee also recommended that a
SUPERINTENDENT OF Music be appointed.
Adopted. A recommendation that pu-
pills having contagious diseases DO not

eScenCe, was adopted.
The Committee reported that time
cards had not been used as required,
and asked leave 90 make supplement-
AIRY report on this matter. Granted.
II was also reported that In many
rooms tn seats were too large Tor the
pupils, and recommended that grester
care be exercised IN the future In the
selection OF seats. Adopted.
MThe Committee further recommended
that in the future pupils not living In
the city be- prohibited from attending
Clay school Mr.. jefferson opposed a
motion 10 concur 10 this recommends
ton, saying be had yet 10 hear Of any
city pupil being Inconvenience by the
presence OF few nonresident scholars.
The pupils complained OF were largely
the sons and daughters Of prominent
business men OF Wheeling, living out
side the city limits. Their presence 10
the school had been source Of pride TO
the school, aud their presence
did no harm. Why Clay school
should be singled out, in the
resolution, be could not see. II 1t was
a general abuse, why not make the
pending resolution general and 10 apply
TO all the districts, and not single out
,f,va0 Tho raaorn IN nd n
tion in its present shape was remarka-
BILE, and be could see no reason for it.
Mr.. Maxwell did not believe In max
ing any especial rules for one district
and discriminating against Others.
Col. Miller didn't expect TO hear such
a stump speech as be had listened TO-
The gentleman from Clay had spoken
like representative from Elm Grove
or Pleasant Valley. He said the Com
mlttee had performed a labOriouS
and distasteful duty In visiting the
various schools. AT Clay school, among
other things, they had found 81 or 81
nonresident pupils, and it was ascer-
tained that a number of them had not
paid the tuition fee Of s., prescribed
by law for nonresident pupils. The
committee had been shown a handful
of unpaid bills. AS for Mr.. Jefierson'S
statement that no one in Clay had been
disconnected, Mr.. Miller thought ex-
actly the reverse was true, for In re-
cent wears an annex had been built at
the east end Of Fourteenth street, and
two streets cut of the district, one on
the north and one on the south, to make
the building accommodate the pupils
OF the district. In addition TO all
that, the district had asked for
another room around the hill, aud there
was talk OF an entirely new building
for Clay Before these matters came
before the Board, the Committee thought
IL would get relief by removing the out
Of-tOwn pupils. There were thirty-twO
OF them, or about q rOOmful The other
districts were not included In the reSO-
luton. because the Committee had
found but one nonresident pupil In the
Fifth ward, two in the Eighth and two
on the Island. TIE Committee did not
think that amounted TO an abuse, but in
Clay il certainly did, and believing so,
the Committee thought il would recon-
mend what il did for the relief Of the
district of Clay.
Mr.. jefferson did not desire to dis
parage the work OF the Committee, but
be did not see that Mr.. Miller's re-
marks had thrown any light on it. He
was entirely " Ang In his remarks about
the need of room, for the pressure for
room did not come from the higher
rooms, where these nonresident pupils
were, but In the lower rooms. IL all
the nonresident pupils were dismissed,
the school could not do with a single
teacher less. There was also mistake
about unpaid bills, for he had taken the
trouble to look up the facts, and most
Of the pupils were paid up to April
1898. he was not speaking for e
Grove or Pleasant Valley, nor did
desire to make q stump speech; be only
desired 90 do justice.
