At the regular monthly meeting Of
the, school board yesterday afternoon
there were present President .Willrich
and Inspectors McGill. Abbott. McNair,
Dickson and Dawson. The report of
the committee on schools, which was
adopted, was as follows:
We recommend that the following as
signments be approved and confirmed:
Miss virginia BOrup. assistant kinder-
gartner, Lincoln school: Miss Mary
Hayes. assistant kindergartner. Lafay7
cite school, at second year. schedule
salary; Miss Mary Ward, assistant
kindergartner, Sclieffer school; Miss
Sadie Farrell, assistant Kindergarten,
Monroe school: Mrs. Camden West,
second grade, Madison school. at fifth
year schedule; Mrs. Severinus Corrigan,
first grade, Franklin school. at maxi
mum schedule. All of the above to be
at minimum schedule salary except as
specified.
We recommend that leave of absence
be granted to H. w. Slack, principal of
the Rice school. for the remainder of
the school year, to visit German schools,
and that Mrs. Slack be assigned to his
duties and receive his pay. We recon-
mend that Miss Fannie NicOll be ap-
pointed teacher of the First grade, in
place of Mrs. Slack, at third-year sched-
ule salary. We recommend that Miss
Theresa K0enig aud Miss Mary Evans
be transferred from the Jackson to the
Avon school. All of the foregoing to
date, from April 80.
Regarding the question OF back pay
for teachers absent by reason Of death
or serious Illness Of immediate relatives
we recommend that such back pay be
allowed, provided that III each case the
time for such absence to be paid for
shall not exceed three days, and the pay
of substitute teacher, whether duly
paid or not, shall first be deducted.
Regarding the question OF back pay for
principals. assistant principals and SUI
pervisors absent by reason of personal
illness or death or serious illness of i'm
mediate relatives it appears that there
CAN be- no substitutes supplied Tor cas- eS
OF this kind.
A motion made by Inspector McNair
that principals, assistant principals and
supervisors be allowed their full back
pay for absence occasioned by personal
sickn ess. provided that in such cases
the term of such absence must not ex-
coed twenty days or. full school month
in cases of death. was carried by In
spectors McGill. ABBOT and McNair
voting aye and Inspector Dawson voting
nay.
Inspector Abbott reported that with
Health Inspector Hoyt he had Inspected
the sanitary conditions of the Irving
and jefferson schools, and RECON-
mended some few changes that the
committee on real estate was author
lied To attend to.
On motion of Inspector Abbott 1t was
decided to engage the Metropolitan
opera house for the evening of June II
for commencement exercises of the
high school. Offersshad been received
from the Grand opera house and the.
Peoples church. but in view of the fact
that the larger house could be had at
about the same figure. it was thought
high and manual training schools was
instructed to engage. a teacher of elOcu-
ton to drill the graduating class. as no
regular teacher for that purpose is now
employed. -
The much discussed question OF re-
cesses in the middle OF the morning
and afternoon sessions again came. UP,
and it was decided that for the balance
OF the present.term the practice of hay
ing two recesse5 a day would be tried.
according to rule l06, of the manual.
Heretofore this plan; has been in opera
ton in districts where, it seemed FEAST
bic, but the law relating thereto allows
the superintendent OF schools to order
that physical exercises shall be suhsti-
tuted when it seems best in schools
without grounds. The superintendent
has withdrawn his consent to this plan.
and for the rest of this school year the
schools will all have recess, and the
morning session will close at IL O'clock.
