 BE FILEED.

Board of Education Win Allow Unsuccess- ] full Scholars to Compete for These-Small Building Bids--Promotions and Increases
 at the Meeting Last Evening.
 But five members of the board of edu- cation were present at the meeting last
 evening. The faithful were Messrs. Avis, Hooker, Moran. Munson and Asher.
 The most remarkable thing of the meeting was the refusal of Miss Skin ner, the supervisor of drawing, to ac- cept the terms of the board. The refus- al of Miss Skinner to accept was couch ed in words polite but decisive, never theless. The matter will go over for another meeting, at which, according to the tenor of the remaks she will probably be offered large increase of salary. The time for her to accept was extended,

 The matter of the many failures in attempting to pass the examinations to the high school this week was brought up for discussion by MT. l Moran. It appears that on account of l the failure of so many to pass there | will be sevral vacant seats in the | school. There are at present 800 schol- i ars in the school and 164 have passed | the examinations. There is seating | in the school for 720, thus leaving 56 vacant seats. After a little l the following vote was formulated:
 Voted, That all those candidates for | admission to the high school who have failed to reach the standard of 75 per cent, but who have attained an aver age of at least 60 per cent, may be per mitted to take an examination in the fall upon the subjects in which they failed, and if said candidates then at- tain an average of 75 per cent may then, too be admitted to said schools In the order of their rank up to the available seating capacity of said said examination to be of the same character and standard as the regular examination just held.
 This Is not conceding in any way to hose who failed. The examination is merely to fill the vacant seats at Hill house and to satisfy the parents of many children who have just missed the mark.
