A Committee Recommends
Establishment Of Such
a Branch.

The regular monthly session of the
board of school inspectors was held
last night, all the members of the
board being in attendance. The eX-
ecutive session that preceded the
regular meeting lasted until nearly
1890, and it is reasonable to suppose
that the board had a good deal of
quiet argument on some score, al
though none of it was allowed to
leak through the keyho1e of the ex-
ecUtive chamber.
During the afternoon the special
building committee held a meeting
and considered the plans that had
been submitted for the proposed new
mittee reported that the plans had
been looked over and were entirely
satisfactory, and that bids might
now be advertised for.
The special legislative committee
appointed to confer with the Mime
apolis committee regarding the pro-
posed legislation to inforce the COM
PofoOly ldW, reported
that the bill that had been presented
in the house had failed to pass, and
that the committee was now engaged
In preparing an amendment to the
present law. The following resolu-
ton was passed, and copy ordered
sent to each member of the Ramsey
county delegations in the house and
senate:
Resolved, That the board of school
inspectors of the city of st. Pa1I rec
ognize the necessity of so amending
the present compulsory school attend
ance law of this state that the same
may be enforced We urge upon the
representatives of this city in the
state legislature that they use their
utmost endeavor to secure the passage
of the amendments now pending in
both branches of the legislature to
this end.
The report of the committee on
schools was read and adopted. 1t is
as follows: X
FOUR TEACHERS DEAD.
Gentlemen: It is our sad duty to an
nounce that since the last meeting of
the board the schools have suffered
the loss of four teachers by death.
Mrs. Cora A. Largton, of the Madi-
son school; Miss Lucy McShane, of
the Cleveland school; Miss Ella Cum
mings, of the Lafayette school, and

school, who was granted leave of alb
sence by the board in January.
We recommend that leave of absence
without pay be granted to Miss. Helen

above to be at fourth year schedule
salary Miss Alice Ray from the
Fourth grade, Webster school, to the
Seventh grade. Lafayette, at third wear
schedule salary. Miss Harriet Carvin
from the Avon to the Jackson school,
This last transfer is recommended be-
cause of the crowded condition of the
Avon school, which makes another
teacher there absolutely imperative
and because the lack of ventilation in
the Avon building renders double ses-
slons impossible, and there is no ac-
commodation for another school in
that part of the city without double
sessions. We recommend that Miss
Garvin and all her pupils be moved to
the Jackson school, and there alternate
with another teacher.
We recommend the following appoint
ments: Miss Grace O'Brien to the
second grade, Franklin school, in place
of Miss Hight promoted; Mrs. Frances

good upon many minds, and their
places cannot be filled. Others must
take them and make their own places.
