The board of education at it's regular

transfer of teachers, considered and
passed upon questions of vital interest
to those who are the patrons OF the
different schools.
The committee on schools made the
following recommendations:

pointed teacher in room No. 5 grade 3b

mended that Miss Doyle's salary be

who resigned some time back.
y substitute was recommended to
take the place of Sister Catherine

Francis orphan asylum. The salary
was fixed at 5000, dating from February,
IS, 1896.
Henry w. Loomis, principal of the
Washington school was absent from
his duties three and one half days be-
cause of an accident and the commit
tee asked that he be paid his full salary.
The committee reported on the resig-
nation of Miss Ella c. Stein, who was
on the substitute list.
Miss Anna Brennan was given leave
of absence for the remainder of the
current school year.
The recommendation of the committee
to change the boundaries of the Wool
sey and Strong districts was adopted
The readjusted boundary is as follows:
That on the south side of the Quinni-
piac river the boundary remain as at
present, beginning at the Meadow street
bridge over the Quinnipiac river, and the
boundary be on the north front of the
Quinnipiac river to Poplar street, thence
along a line running just east Of Pop
lar street to Clay street, where the
boundary unites with the old boundary
at the corner of Clay and Poplar streets;
Poplar street, south of Clay street, to
remain in the Woolsey district.
All pupils living east of Poplar street
shall go to the Strong school, and fur
ther all pupils living south of Quinni-
piac river, except those who can be ac-
commodated at the Woodward school
shall attend the Strong school Those
pupils who are in room Il at the Wool
sey school living south of the Quinnipiac
river and east Of Poplar street are to
remain in the Woolsey school for the
remainder of the present school year
These changes are made to relieve the
crowded condition of Woolsey district
and especially of Lloyd street school.
Miss May Ferris was transferred from
the substitute list to assistant teacher
in room ] at the Lloyd street annex.
Beginning with the spring term 1896
the Boardman Manual Training High
school will be placed upon the one ses-
sion plan, the beginning at $50 a. m.
and closing at / p. M, as is now In
operation in the Hillhouse High school.
This change was made for the good of
the school, it being thought that
more work can be accomplished by the
children than by the two session plan
now in operation. Superintendent Ken
dali favored the change as well as Prin-
cipal Mather.
There has been a sentiment among
I,,, t,,,.r ,1r,- e
High school to have the board of edu-
cation reconsider the vote which chang
ed the hours of holding the exercises
to the afternoon and not in the evening,
as they have been heretofore.
The committee on special education
last evening recommend no departure
from the vote and the exercises will be
held in the afternoon as adopted.
The chairman of the committee on
finance in report said with reference
to a recent statement in respect to the
admission to the high school of non
resident pupils without payment of tut
ton, the committee wishes to report to
the board that it had already inquired
into the matter and that from the best
information which it could obtain found
that there are no pupils in the high
school not paying tuition who are not
there by reason of residing in the dis
trict.
In the superintendent's report a sug-
gestion was made that the board take
advantage of the kindness of the Free
Public library directors in proffering
the use of fifty books to use of the
pupils of schools selected by the board
provided the transportation of the books
be paid superintendent Kendall rec
commended Day and Woolsey schools to
become the beneficiaries, which was
adopted by the board.
A vote of thanks was given the di-
reetors of the library and the secretary
was instructed to notify the president
of the library directors Of the action of
the board.
The term of the clerk of the board
having expired an election was taken,
which resulted in the unanimous choice
of George T. Hewlett for the ensuing
year.
The board decided to open the Zunder
and the Strong schools to the public
for several days before the formal open
ing for school purposes. It is now
thought that these will be completed
in May.
