At the last meeting of the board OF ed
ucation there was lively time over
Janitor Nelson of the lowell school,
against whom complaints had been made
for incompetency Mr.. Norton said he
was opposed to having experiments in
the boiler rooms of school houses, which
were occupied by several hundred young
children, and favored the employment of
men who knew how to take care of the
boilers they were placed in charge of.
Instead of removing Nelson for incom-
potency and ignorance Of his business,
his salary was inc. eased 800 per month
az a kind of rebuke to Mr.. Norton. Mr..
Norton made speech in defense of his
attack on Nelson, saying that he believed
it his duty when he heard complaints of
the sort which had been made against
Nelson, to bring them before the board,
and while there seemed to be dyed-in-

no matter how often he was voted down.
he would continue to make his kicks at
what he considered Encouragement or
incompetence in the servants of the board.
