that all teachers elected to positions in
the high and manual training. schools
are alike subject to assignments by the
principal to such duties as the pest in
terests of the school re quire. without
regard to positions named in the forego-
ing list.
The committee on schools further

assistant, Schetfe- school. The names

The special committee, consisting of
Supt. Gilbert and Prof. A. j. Smith. to
consider the advisability of transferring
the pupils from the manual training
school to the central high school build
ing, recommended that so far as possible
all students be enabled to take all the
studies. required by their respective
courses in one building. The report
further states that: 'In reporting Oh
the number OF pupils likely to be in
attendance at the=several classes of both
schools for the coming year, exclusive

report is based upon the judgment of.the
committee that in administrative geonle-

other classes 30"
The question of employing Knute
Okerberg as teacher of modelling and
Wood carving i'll the manual training
school was taken up, having already
been discussed by the committee, who
had not been able to arrive at any de.
cision in the matter. After the matter
had been thoroughly discussed in gen
eral way, some of the members object
ing to the appointment of Mr.. Okerberg
OH the ground that he lacked expert
knowledge of the English language was
SO limited that it must necessarily af-
feet the results of bis work, When
the matter was put to vote, however.
Mr.. Okerberg received majority of
the votes cast, Inspectors Abbott, Nc
Nair. Dickson and McGiIl voting yea,
and Inspectors Vanish and Dawson and
President WilIrich voting nay.
Inspector Dickson suggested that
something should be done about Sod
ding the high school grounds, which
are very much in need of protection.
The matter was referred to the commit
tee on real estate.
| The committee on real estate was
| authorized to ask for bids On some I'M
provements that are necessary in the

| A committee from the trades and
| labor assembly waited on the board to
| to ask for free text books in the public
| schools. The board referred the mat
| ter to the president, with instructions
| to confer with the district attorney as
7 to what power the board has in reg ard
| 10 the matter.
I Mr.. Benz an old member of the school
board, a resident of the West side, was
present on behalf of the taxpayers of
! that section to ask the board to take
some action in regard to the old Hum
boldt school building, or if the board
| cannot utilize it for educational pur-
poses, to have it sold. Mr.. Benz in
formed the board that. IN his judgment,
the building referred to had better
sewerage and was better ventilated
one than the $4,000 building on the
| other side OF the street and now used
as school. He thought that in the
Interests of the tax payers the building
should be disposed of In some way
! Inspector McGIIl reminded Mr.. Benz
| that since the passage of a recent law
| the common council controlled all the
school property and that only that body
had power to buy or Sell school prop
erty. A molten was made and Sec
onded, asking President WiiIrich to
wait upon the city council at the next
meeting, and ask that the building be
disposed of. and the money turned into
the fund for new buildings.
| The board then went into executive
session for an hour or more. The exec
utlve session is supposed to have related
to the employment of a musical director
| for the schools. Prof. Cogden is can
didate for retention, and John F. Gehan,
as rumored, Is candidate for his place.
