HOW THE CASE STOOD.
The text book committee at the last
special meeting as a compromise reported
In favor Of CHM & Co.'S system, but its
Recommendation failed OF adoption, lack
ing one of the necessary two thirds vote OF
the whole board of trustees. When the
question of the adoption OF text book
was first discussed at the meeting in August
the Merrill system was favored BY Messrs
uarries, Whelpley, Wilson, Wilmer, Drs.
Shadd and Cornish. A joint meeting Of
the text book and penman nship committees
was then held and they, as compromise,
recommended the CHM x Co. system, which
at the last meeting of the board, failed to
receive the necessary two thirds vote, only
seven favoring it, while Mr.. Harries still
favored the Merrill system.
After the meeting Major Harries de-
clared that he would vote for the Merrill
system as long as he had an opportunity.
He believed it was the best system, as did
other mem bers of the board, and so could
not recommend what they felt was an in
ferior system.
A commit nication was received from Mrs.
Belle s. Luckett, superintendent of the ed
ucational department OF the District ". C.
T. L., asking for the appointment OF proper
persons to watch and guard the female
children of the public schools during school
hours and prevent any Objectionable init

asked for an opinion on the subject by
President Wbeipley. said he did not think
1T was necessary, Is one OF the teachers
had special charge OF the care Of the
female children at the various school
buildings and on the grounds during
school hours. AS n matter OF fact, it was
not practicable at this time for lack OF
funds. DR.. HaZen thought that the moni-
tors at the different schools answered all
purposes.
Secretary Faick was, however, instructed
to inform the W. c. T U. of the position
taFeu in the matter by the board.
Mr.. Wilson reported that he was In
formed by Commissioner Powell that the
Commissioners would like to have more in
formation, in detail, in reference to the
appropriations asked for the erection of
new school buildings. Mr.. Wilson ex-
plaiued that the Commissioners under
stood the situation, but wanted the ad-
ditioHal data to accompany their request
to Congress for the appropriations
Commissioner Powell also, he said, had
something to say about the compulsory
school law and would like to hear the
opinion OF the board as to the present
law, as to whether or not it can be en-
forced to advantage. ""'''t''''i-
