chased, to be kept in one place. He did
not know, however, that there was
money to spare.
Superintendent Erlewine stated that
the board had already purchased Ap-
pleton's Encyclopedia and that it was
necessary that provision should be
made for the payments on it and the
annual editions that were made to it.
One copy of the dictionary could be
purchased for the high school, how
ever, if the board thought best.
The board decided to purchase a set
in sheep for the high school for $50.

IN MEMORIAM.
The following resolution was offered
by Director Whitbeck and unanimously
adopted:
The death of Albert Hart calls from
the Educational Department of Sacra-
mento City an expression of the estima-
tion in which he will be held, for the in
terest he ever manifested in, and the
service he rendered to popular educa-
ton.
His death removed from among the
citizens of California one whose private
and public character and virtues had
endeared to the masses.
He filled stations of important public
trust with fidelity. His conception of
the duties of an American citizen, as
exemplifed by his life record, can be
proftably patterned after by our youth.
