again. The recommendation was adopted by the meeting. y


 by the meeting.
 The matter of the Boardman Manual
 Training school equipment approprla-
 tion was then taken from the table and
 carried.
 Mir. Moran then informed the meet
 mig that the board, in pursuance of the
 vote of the districe had had plans for
 new high school prepared. but submit
 ted them to the meeting without recom-
 mendation. MT. H. c. Newton made
 some remarks concerning the necessl-
 ty of a new high school building. as
 also did President Avis. Mir. Fowler
 made the motion to adjourn. A rising
 vote was taken. and the vote was lost,
 there being 45 against to 36 for.
 Attorney J. P. Goodhart then arose
 and wanted to know why the board
 had made no recommendation concern
 ing a new high school. He thought that
 1t was their duty.
 Mir. H. O. Newton made the motion that a high school building be erected on York square at cost not exceed- ing $800, 1000.
 MT. Graves then made a speech in which he said that the consideration of this matter just now was inopportu 'e. The board had made no recommenda- ton. They could not tell just what ought to be done in the high school matter until the experiment of the man. ual training school had worked itself out. The commercial class ought to
 have been put in the training school h,,t11tnr ip kvayn tippa fhaf building might want to be enlarged. There was also the question of dividing the sexes In the high school to be con- sidered. He thought it was good thing as New Fsayen was free and un-
 hampered by an. expensive high school
 building to try a, work out the grand experiment of he manual training school.
 President Avis then said that there were H0 now in sne manual training
 school and that .3,y could be accommo- dated at the nutsis se.
 Principal Isaac Nhomas then made a few remarks. He said he was surprised
 to hear MT. Graves argue in that man. ner, but he feared that MT. Graves had this time come unarmed with facts. He then read the following figures to the meeting:
 In September '91, the number of pu- pills in the high school was 599; in Sep tember, '92, $50; in September, '93, 6S1 in September. '94, FPS.
 This, he said, shows an average in-
 crease of about 40. The board have now made the building habitable by giving good heating, ventilation and toilet Facilities, but no more room. Only eight seats are gained. The school had l never been so crowded as now. The Boardman manual training school had
 relieved them all 1t possibly could this year. If the commercial department
 had been put in the Manual Training school building 1t would have been com pleteiy filled. Nowysa the high school
 1t is matter of seats, whereas before 1t had been simply matter of hand ling the school There is, hardly a reo- itatiorl room fit to recite in, in matter of size. In some classes the pupils have to sit on the window sills It Is also a fact that the Manual Training school educationscost the district four times as much sas the high school. That school
 is bringing those who would not go far ther otherwise than the grammar
 schools. The two schools occupy en tirely different spheres. F. MT. Newton then offered a substitute motion, moving that the meeting ad- iourn to November IA at 8 D. m. at the same place. MT. Graves moved that they adjourn until the next annual meeting.
 | There was then some spirited debate pro and con on parliamentary rules in which MT. Troupe several times arose Eto a point of order. The result was that
