| oA0Iodltefs 10 I'LL one OF these Vacan-
cles, Miss Mabel A. Kenney, of the
training class of 1898, was elected. The
other vacancy was filled by the election
OF Miss Susan Kimball of Deering, now
a very successful teacher in Everett,
Mass. 1t was thought desirable to Sc
cure Miss Kimhalls services. on account
OF the necessity of putting teachers OF
the best ability possible into the Training
School. 1t was also voted to raise the
| pay of the regular teachers in the Train
ing School $25 year, on account of the
added responsibility of their work over
any of the other primary school teachers
in the city.

1t was thought best to have no special
teacher this year, hence Miss Christina
M. Thompson was not reelected. The
work of the special teacher will here
after be done by the training teachers.
1t will be noticed that no teachers
were elected in the Centre Street school.
Mr.. Blake made proposition looking
toward a I arrangement of this school
and possible distribution of part of the
scholars among the neighboring schools,
advocating this simply as a matter of
economy. 1t was voted that Mr.. Nc
Donald investigate the merits of the
proposition and report at a future meet
ing.
When the Peaks Island school was
reached, it was voted to pass the election,
on account of some radical changes
which are contemplated in this school,
on the same line as those proposed for
the Centre Street school. 1t is thought
that great saving of expense can be
effected in the corps Of teachers of this
school.
A petition was presented, signed by
Sarah S. S. McCobb and other ladies.
asking the board to consider the expedi-
ency of establishing two new Kinder
garten schools, and suggesting as the
proper locations Danforth street, near
May, and Munjoy hill, in the vicinity of
the North school. A committee was APP
pointed to consider this matter, consist
ing of Messrs Blake, Brownson and
Allan.
Mr.. Lord reported that on his last visit
to Boston he had seen Mr.. Rudolph
Schuerch and investigated his qualifica-
tions as teacher of the new manual
training school to be established in this
city the coming fall. Mr.. Schuerch is
Swiss gentleman, 35 years of age, of
manners and address and, having
been in this country 30 years, he speaks
the English language, with only trace
of foreign accent. For the past
three years he has devoted him
self to the study. of manual
traing as taught in the Boston schools,
and is highly recommended by Mr..
Leavitt, superintendent of manual train
ing in the Boston schools. Last year
Mr., Schuerch went to Belfast in this
state and established manual training
school there, in which he gained the
hearty commentator of the Belfast peo-
pie. With these qualifications 1T is
thought that Mr. Schuerch ia wall f;ttad |
