 EDUCATION MEETING.


 Next Friday-Finance Committees Re-
 port-other School Matters.
 It was expected that at the meeting of the board of education last evening the matter of the alleged ballot box stutfing and other irregularities in the election of senior class officers at Hill house High school would be investigat- ed, and several members of the senior class were present to give evidence. The matter was, however, referred to the committee on special instruction. The names of those boys who were present were taken and they were requested to meet the committee at a special meet ing to be held at the board rooms at s o'clock next Monday evening. The boys present were Alexander Troup, jr |, Leopold Spier, Charles Bouton, F. Con Ian, H. Bill and A. Koechler, represent ney and J. Mcintyre, representing the Gamma Delta Psi society.
 Much amusement was created by MT
 Kearney asking if there would not be an equal number of representatives on each side, but he was appeased when
 Mir. Moran remarked that the affair was not a football game, so equal rep resentation was not exactly necessary. The boys were dismissed before the reg ular session began.
 After the board had been called to or dor communication waS rraSeptad by
 Anthony Carroll asking what were the duties of the city superintendent of schools Secretary Day, Clerk Hewlett and other officials connected with the schools and also what were the quail fications necessary for night school teacher. Mir Carroll was present in person to explain his questions, and said that he would like particularly to know if 1t were not possible to appoint
 more young men, who are residents of New Haven, as night school teachers, as he thought that at present too many non-residents were appointed to those positions, The question was referred to MT. Manson, chairman of the committee on special instruction, who informed MT. Carroll that the matter of the selec- tion of the night school teachers was left to a great extent with Superintend- ent Kendall, who examined carefully the qualifications of applicants and ap- pointed only those who seemed most ca pable, whether they were residents or not.
 MT. Betts of the same committee stat ed to MT Carroll that many of the night school teachers were employed l in schools where a knowledge of for eign languages was necessary and few have the necessary knowledge of these | languages together with the other nec- | essary qualifications. A copy of the city school book, containing the other requested information. was presented to MT. Carroll and he departed after thanking the board for attention to his questions.
