board was held in the central school
building. all the members being pres
ent Several bills were placed before
the board and ordered paid.
Among them was one from William
Passmore for s57.75 for repairs done on
the different buildings. As Mr. Pass
more was indebted for some of his
children for last year; this was ordered
deducted and the rest paid. There are
several other people who owe bills. ana
IL was thought advisable that bills be
sent them.
Alderman Jones had a bill for Sc.
the costs incurred in the arrest ana
punishment of several boys who an
noyed the teachers of the Farview
school. This was ordered paid after
some discussion. Mr.. Reynolds had

mission to use the school to hold
meeting of the Alumni association to
consider the organization of foot ball
team The request was granted.
Superintendent Forbes made his re-
port of the condition of the schools.
The schools We're In excellent condi-
ton, he said, and never had the opening
been more favorable. The attendance
had been somewhat increased, and
there were at the time 1883 pupils I'm
the schools of the city. The furniture
I'm No. 3 school was not best adapted to
its purpose. The seats are too high for
most of the pupils. and recommended
that a committee be appointed to rem
edy the matter.
Mr.. Forbes also recommended the
purchase of an atlas for use In the high
school Many complaints We're made
about the number of books lost, ana
the committee were instructed to get
an officer who should secure the books
and have the cost charged to those
holding the books.
The janitor of No. sent in a bill for
$50 for cleaning the school, but as the
school now belonged to the city he eN-
pected them to pay 1t. The board
thought differently. No more business
of importance was transacted, and the
meeting adjourned.

USE OF HOUSE FORBIDDEN.
No Religious Meetings Allowed in the
school Houses,

The members of the Berean Baptist
church have been conducting very sue
cessfully for some months regular
prayer and song service in the school
house in the recently annexed district.
This was allowed while it was under
the control of the township authori-
ties, but since it came in the hands of
the city they have been forbidden.
There Is a resolution in the school law
which says that the public schools of
the city are not to be used except for
school purposes.
The board are clearly justified in
this step. but it is greatly to be re-
GREETED that such a thing was unavoid-
able. 1t is quite long distance to the
churches, and it was for this purpose
that the meetings were held there. In
the winter, especially it becomes hard,
and for the children 1t is impossible to
go to church.
=, is to be hoped that another place
where the meetings can be continued
will b. found.
