A MATTER OF HEALTH.
A communication was read from
Hath Commissioner Hoyt which set
forth that complaint had been made to
him by parents of school children that
dangerous practice was in existence
at the &C iools-that of the children be-
ing required to leave their lead and
Slate pencils at the close of schools
with the janitors to be distributed next
day indiscriminately among the chill
dren. This practice, the commissioner
thinks, has much 10 do with spreading
Th,ar a
eases among the scholars. as all chill
dren are in the habit of placing the
pencils III their mouths. The commune
cation recommended that the board
make a rule that the chill
dren be required to take their
pencils home with them, or that if they
are left with the janitor he be required
to place the pencils over night in a
liquid dislnfectant. The communica-
ton set forth what should be used as
diSlnfectant. The communication called
attention to the further fact that there
are a great many old books in the
schools which might be filled with dis
ease germs. DIR. Hoyt requested that
these old books be gathered ana placed
where they could be disinfected 10y the
health department. The communica-
tlon was referred to the committee on
sanitation.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS
Comptroller McCardy had Def, the
meeting a communication stating that
he had not received copy of the list
of supplies proposed to be purchased.
and notifying the board that no bills
Will be allowed for matters contracted
after Sept. unless a list of the articles
proposed to be purchased, copy of the
advertisement and every information
connected with the matter are APP
pended.
A communication from the United
States Savings company was read, which
made complaint that the excavations
from the school lot adjoining the prop
erty OF the company, at 1857 Margaret
street, were thrown against the lot of
the complainant, causing filling of the
cellar. The matter was referred to the
committee on real estate.
Upon resolution of Inspector Dawson,
$500 was voted to the secretary of the
board as contingent fund TO defray the
expenses of the office.
Inspector Wilrich presented a reso-
luton to allow Principal Smith clerk
for his Office at salary of $50 month.
Prof. Smith was present and called
upon for all explanation. He said that
the work of looking after papers and
routine matter was SO arduous in his
Office that he had little time 10 visit The
ROOMS to see how the school work
is progressing. 1t was very impor-
tant that some one should be
in his office at all school hours
among many other things 10 answer
questions concerning routine matters.
Inspector Dawson was disposed at first
to doubt the propriety of creating the
new position. Inspector OBrien said
that it seemed like folly TO him to EN-
ploy the time of the principal at mat
tiers which could be as we'll done by a
! $50 month man, and thus keep him
| away from the work which he was espe-
ciaIly employed and expected to do.
| He believed that the resolution should
| prevail. The resolution went to vote,
and prevailed unanimously.
resolution, presented by Inspector
OBrien, granting leave of absence to
all the teachers who desired to go to the
worlds fair on Minnesota day, Oct. Is,
for that day only, and granting a three
days leave of absence to Miss s. G.
Brooks to visit the Cook County Normal
school, was adopted unanimously.
| MIR. U Brlen presented another reSolu-
ton, which requires the committees of
| the board on real estate and on fuel and
janitorS, TO meet and consider whether
the cost of repairs cannot be materially
| reduced, and to revise the list of en-
DlOyeS about the schools, giving the posi-
tons so far as practicable to persons
| having families to support. The reSOlu-
ton was adopted unanimously.
Inspector Vanish, who was appointed
| by the mayor since the September meet
ing to fill the vacancy made by the
resignation of Inspector Smith, was
present. The only absentee was In
| spector Dixon.
