 Chairman J. A. Mulcahy presided at the meeting of the board of education last night. The resignation of Miss Jennie N. i. Dudley, teacher at the Elm street school. to take effect at the close of the present term, was accepted. Superintendent Cros- by submitted statement showing the promotions thet will be made to the High school brilding at the beginning of the school term. Promotions will be as fol- lows from grade eight:
 Mir Fitzpatrick will promote 14. Mir De- vlne IS, Mir Madigan 10, Miss Whiton so, Miss Mccarthy 25, Miss Donahue IS, mak- ing @ total of 116. Also; Miss Niver will promote IS to grade 8. Miss Bossidy 2 to grade 8. Miss Hallas 30 to grade 2. Miss Wallace 20 to grade s, Miss Mahler 20 to grade T, Miss Smith IS 10 grade and Mrs Elwell 10 to grade 8, making total of 123 to the high school building below the high school room. Also, there will be about so in the Elm street building to be promoted to grade 6. Making allowance for those who graduate from the High school and who leave the High school this spring, there will be a net increase in the building of nearly 200.
 Mir Crosby said it would be absolutely necessary to obtain accommodations for two or three" of the grammar schools in rooms outside of the High school build ing. In accordance with an infor- nal request of the board some weeks ago Mir Crosby had been making inquirie s about rooms suitable for this purpose and mentioned the old Bronson library and the building of the Waterbury Furniture Go. Mir Platt said that the Connecticut Indemnity association expect to vscate the Bronson library building about April 1. The following resolution was passed:
 ''Voted, that the superintendent be in- structed to explain to the district commit tee the need of additional school accom- modations for the April term"
 The question as to who appointed Henry LoeCner to teach in the Clay street school was then discussed. Dr OHara, chairman of the night school committee, said: "I don't believe any of the members of the night school committee instructed Mir Loether to open a night school there and I know positively that the chairman gave him no such authority. Mir Loether told me within a week that he had commenced teaching there in the hope of the district taking favorable action on the matter"
 Chairman Mulcahy: 'tI regret that the chairman did not prevent the occupation of the rooms until the matter had been fully decided"
 Dr O'Hara: II should like to know who opened the room and lighted it. There must be some one in charge of the build. ing"
 Chairman Mulcahy: "The question is that way all right. You either ordered him to teach there or you did not. If you did not authorize him to teach there you should have done something about It as soon as you found it out, but I suppose the night school committee will be glad tC get out of that little dilemma by paying MT Loether's bill.
 Mir Wells: "It IS a good thing that th' members of the night school committed happened to be men of means" pr 0'Hsra: "A good thing for them selves"
 Mir Crosby explained that some tim, | ago the district voted that the Germans | could use the bassm snt of the Clay stree school when not needed by the center dis | trict and he supposed MT Loether opened 4 the school on the strength of that vote After considerable discussion the Hollow ing resolution was submitted by MrsWells which was passed: l.
