| The board of education had peppery
meeting last night, during which the
solid six of the majority were as usual
pitted against the equally solid three of
, the minority. and as usual the six, after
a fierce. wordy war, beat their three col
leagues into submission.
| Til, features of the meeting were the
! designations OF Directors Fulton and ar
land from the printing and supply COM
mittce of the board Both resig ignations
had strings attached and were not in
sisted upon. DR.. Wills moved with saI
donic gleam in his eye, that both resg-
nations be accepted. Director Pitman Sec
onded the motion, and that was the last
,, head of the matter
Director Pitman, as anticipated in The
Herald yesterday. moved that the settle
ment with Professor Search made on July
| II be ratified. This was carried. Then
| the same gentleman moved that Professor
Fosbay's election as superintendent be
! confirmed. Director Garland thought it
| would be more manly way for Professor
! Foshay to be renominated and reelected.
| the same to date from July -, and he
took great pleasure in nominating Mr..
|
of the city of Los Angeles. The Garland
motion was voted down and out, the ma
jority refusing to extend to the minority
the hand of fellowship apparently thus
| extended. The two factions again locked
horns, and as result Director Pitman
raked DR.. Wills fore and aft, referring to
| his colleague at one point in the best
| address of the evening as fool, DR..
| Wills returning the compliment in kind.
| The debate waxed warmer and more
heated and acrimonious. Director Grubb
stated Professor Search had never quail
fed as superintendent but had simp Y
sent for the old board at his hotel a d
| notified them that he was ready to 10
business. The latter statement DR.. Wills
denounced as untrue. Then Director
Pitman's motion was adopted. just as
every one knew that it would be, at
least an hour before.
Director Garland brought up the SUBJ
ject of the disrn ssed teachers who had
been dropped because of inoompetency.
The appointment of DR.. Blum as teacher
| of French IN the high school brough t
from Chairman Pitman the statement
that Professor Gates had reported Miss
| Whitney as incom petent; that is why she
had been dropped. The teachers COM
mittee now again has the matter In
| hand.
Director Fulton moved that the cleo
|
I cred. Director Garland amended to leave
the subject with the teachers comm ittee
There were motions and substitutes piled
up in the most bewildering manner. The
discussion resulted in the teachers com
mittee retaining conUrol of the whole
subject. with instructions to report at
the next meeting of tie board.
The city attorney sent to the board the
following communication, which was
| read:
| Replying to your request of July 10TH
as to what will be done with any surplus
| that may remain after the purposes for
which the school bonds were voted have
been accomplished. Section of the stat
ute authorizing the issuance OF these
bonds and providing for the expenditure
of the proceeds of their sale provides
that the money received from the sale of
these bonds shall be applied exclusively
to the purposes and objects mentioned in
the ordinances. until such objects are fully
plished, after which. if any surplus
remains, such surplus shall be trans
ferred to the general funds of such mu-
nicipality. The general fund of this city
is what We designate the cash fund,
and any surplus remaining after the erec.
tion of the school houses provided for IN
the ordinance authorizing the issuance
of the bonds must be paid into this fund.
Council might, however, subsequently
transfer the money to >the school fund,
should they see tit to do so.
The finance committee reported having
approved bills aggregating in amount
$243.55, which were ordered paid: The
salaries for the school department., as
per schedul, for the current month, were
also ordered paiu.
A communication was received from
the Associated Alumni Of the high school
asking perm misson to huld the regular
monthly meetings of the association in
the high school building the second Tues-
day of each month until March. The re-
quest was granted upon the condition
that the principal of the high school be
held responsible for the proper care TO be
taken of the building during the meet
lngs.
Superintendent Foshay asked and was
granted one rlonth's leave of absence. to
take effect August 4th.
DR.. Wills objected to the pay of Profess
sor Foshay as superintendent of schools
for the full month of July, as hau been
