 By considerable juggling of janitors they had saved $1O0 in salaries. The resignation of James Henry, the japi- tor of the Shelton avenue school. was accepted. John H.

Fred Talmadge was appoint ed at Orchard school at the regular salary, $4OO. John F. Dillon was ap- pointed to janitorship of the Grand avenue school. made vacant by the death of William s. Green on November Is. The salary is s7O0.
 The recommendation for the school in George street brought an interestine discussion. Architect Robinson had been called before the board to explain preliminary plans and estimates for this school.
 The board has been authorized by vote of the district to prepare for ana erect a school here and one in Fair Haven. The committee favor the erection of two eighteen-room schools one on George street, the other on Grand avenue. The board authorized the committee to prepare plans and re. ceive bids. The preliminary plans sub. mitted by MT. Robinson arrange for building of eighteen rooms, with necessary school adjuncts six rooms on a floor. The school is to be located on George street and will be a great relief to the schools about there. During the discussion the are,,noen, took sudden and peculiar turn. Some comparison was made to the Boardmau school.
 The recent fair of the Boardmar school Athletic association seemed to the board to indicate that the social side of the school would become of more importance than the educational side. There is rivalry between the schools, Hillhouse and Boardman, The promenade question, which caused so much agitation, was also discussed and in speaking of the matter the board seemed to be of the opinion that if the teachers and principals in Boardman school opposed this, the thing could be stopped before it assumed too great proportions. The fact that Boardman was falling into this way was a source Of annoyance to the friends of the school, who looked for freedom from such matters.
 A. Maxcy Hitler, president of the board of library directors, appeared and stated that the board which he represented had been for a few years back in the habit of allowing copies of standard literary works to be used in the class work of the schools. The di- rectors of the library have done this at a cost of $275, which last night they requested the board of education to pay. MT. Moran stated that even if the board of education did not have so much need for money there would be a drawback. He did not think that the board had the power to use money for the books in this way.
 : At the last meeting of the board in January next plans will be submitted. Of the $500, ,00O recently appropriated for schools only $125,oOO is left. One hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars, at least, will be necessary for the two schools. A district meeting will be called in February and an appropria- ton of about $30,OO0 or t$4O,OOO will be asked for.
