Willrich. A letter from the new mem-
Der, A. Il. McGill, was read, stating
it would be impossible for him to attend
the meeting. Mr.Willrich, the other new
member, was on hand, and entered at
once into the duties imposed on him.
Inspector Smith, as vice president, took
the chair and suggested that the board
proceed to the election of president to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna
ton of Mr.. Pyle. Inspector Dawson
advised the pOStpOnement of this Selec-
ton until larger number of. the mem
bers were present. Inspector Stamm
thought it would be we'll to proceed to
an election at once, and said the board
would, in his opinion, as unit vote for
the election of Inspector Smith as
president. Inspector Willrich, while
not doubling that the board would take
this action, thought it best,as only three
members beside Inspector Smith were
present, to delay the election until a
larger representation could be secured.
Inspector Smith said there was no pro-
vision in the bylaws which would ex-
actly cover the case. The order was
that the standing committees were to be
appointed at the meeting following the
annual meeting. AS vice president, the
bylaws gave him the power to, in the
absence of the president, appoint the
committees, but he did not feel like
doing so under the circumstances.
After debate, the election of president
was postponed until an adjourned meet
ing to be held tomorrow night at 1880
O'Clock.

they have offered an examination for
the honor of permanent appointment to

ice in the schools, were duly recommend

In addition to those mentioned con-
siderable number passed the eXamina-

CURED theses. We recommend that all
these above mentioned who have passed
the required examination and presented
acceptable theses be placed upon the
list of permanent appointees of this
board, as provided for in the rules of
the board, and that those who have
passed the examination and have not
presented theses be allowed further
time.
The appointments, transfers and res
lgnatlons were approved, and the other
report referred to the committee oil

Examination Rules.
The following resolution was intro
duced, and, under the rules of the board.
Will be considered and voted on at the
next regular meeting:
L nat the committee on examination
may at their option, in place of any or
all examination required under rules
123, 124 anu 125, accept diplomas from
colleges of good standing conferrlng
the degree of A. b., B. s. or Phi. B.
mat rule 131 be amended bv sub
stituting 123 for 122 where it occurs in
the third line. The change will have
the effect or allowing those having
diplomas of the ST. Paul Teachers
Training school to secure appointments
without the regular examinations.
That Rule 1872 be amended by SUBJ
shutting III the first line the word 'sem-
plOyed' instead of appointed, and bv
substituting the following for the third
sentence OF the rule: THAT teachers
having received preliminary certificate
may be continued by special act of the
board from time to time. but no such
temporary employment shall be for
longer time than the school year. After
three years Of such temporary employ-
ment teachers may become candidates
for appointment in st. Paul schools. ,,
And that the rule shall De further
amended by the addition of the words
land shall not thereafter be subject to,
annual election"
Inspector Smith said the change in
the rdleS was very important, and he
desired all the members to give their
TO the proposed change-so as !
to be able TO decide when the matter
was voted on at the next meeting. The
question OF permanent appointment was
an important one. The committee oni,l
had discussed the matter
and had brought III the resolution. The i
right 10 require some of the teachers to !
pass an examination which was not ap- |
piled to all was thought to be unfair. |
and hence the proposed change
Gymnastics in the schools.
Inspector Stamm called the attention
Of the board TO the subject Ofintrodncing |
gymnastics in the schools. Supt. Gill |
Dert said he hal given the matter some
attention while on his vacation in the |
Eastern cities. but was not ready to re-
port just at present Inspector Stanlm
thought the plan of having gymnastics
in the schools was an excellent one. He |
lid not mean the movements of the
hands ana arms, such as now occupietla
few moments each day, but the eStab- |
