New CASTLE. July 3i, 1895.
At the meeting OF the Board of Educa-
tion held last evening, the following
members were present Messrs. Ferris.
Stewart. EliasOn, Deakyne aud Frazer.
The committee on Teachers presented
its report on having gone over the exatnl
nation papers OF schools Nos. . and 8.
The committee spent several evenings In
scrutlniznR the papers In ordor to find
out II Principal Knapp had been fair to-
wards the boys aud markell them In the
same way as the girls.
At tue time that the committee took up
the work the rumor was prevalent that
MIR. Knapp was unjust In his examination
because the teRohers in certain rooms had
had some difference with tho principal.
Tho COMMITTEES found that the papers for
the boys and girls were alike and that the
same rates OF merit were given to both.
The committee recon mended that Mag
gle CarrIck, Wray Bacon. JOHN Fleming
and Willie Hamilton will be promoted.
So the rumors OF unfair marking and
unfair questions have been mashed to
pieces and the averages OF the girls re-
main at S62s while the boys in the same
grade come up with smile ut To2s. The
figures speak for themselves and bear out
the professor that the boys are not us
good as the girls. (They never were and
never will he since Eve got the best OF
Adam.) The following bills were ordered
paid:
j. T. and L. E. Eliason. s56 81; James B.
Brady, alO.5T; Edward Handy, t3. 95; Miss
Mary Janvior, $500; Water Works Com
pany. $500; Ferris Il Son. Sl.95.
The Board unanimously ordered this
president and secretary to forward to
Professor Knapp certificate OF recon.
mendatlon as a first class teacher who did
good work In the schools.
