THE SCHOOL
BOARDS WORK
Proceedings at the Regular Meet
ing Last Night.
THE VACCINATION RULE |!
Pupils Must Present Certificates by
October 15th-MOnthly EXamina-
tiOn Abolished.

A regular monthly meeting Of the
School Board was held in the directors
room on South West street last evening
with Directors Conry, Hanna, Trezise,
Lynch Burke, Manley, Ogden, Dewitt
Baugh, Morgan, Stanton, Lee, Hooks and
Muldoon in attendance. A lively debate
was looked for over a recommendation
by Superintendent Whitaker that
another second grade grammar school
be put in the new South West street build
ing, so as to relieve the crowded condition
of some of the schools and at the same
time have the three second grade gram
mar schools in the same building. It was
also claimed that the change would be
an economical one for the Board. To ac-
complish this end Superintendent Whita-
ker proposed to have Miss Morrison's class
transferred to the p NJ. church building
and transfer Miss Burns class to the room
to be vacated by Miss Morrison. The
recommendation was voted down by vote
of s to 6. Several members were opposed
to it because they did not deem it wise to
have the three classes in one building.
Superintendent Whitaker stated in his
monthly report that all the pupils entered
the schools promptly on the opening of
the term and although the second week
of the term is only at hand the enrolment
enrolment of former years.
In regard to the vaccination rule, Mr..
Whitaker stated that he had received
letters from several physicians stating
that the weather was too warm to warrant
vaccinations and suggesting that the en-
forcement of the ruld be postponed until
later in the season. After consultation
with Dr. Spalding, President of the Board
of Health, the Superintendent decided to
allow all children to enter the schools
until such time as the School Board
might designate for the presentation of
| certificates of vaccination. The Board
decided that all pupils who do not present
| certificates of vaccination on or before
October 18th, next, must be excluded
| from the schools.
| The Superintendent also recommended
1 that monthly examinations in the schools
| be abolished and that they be held every
| two months. The recommendation was
| adopted.
The committee on text books and sup.
plies reported that 81 ,S19l2 had been eX-
