SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
A Lively Discussion Over the Football
Matter.

The regular monthly meeting of the
school committee WAS held yesterday
afternoon.
All present, the mayor in the. chair.
DR.. Vose was placed on the committee
ON estimates in place OF Mr.. Bradley, and
Mr.. Allan in place of Mr. Hall.
DR.. Vose asked if tie Improvements at
Vaughan st. school would be completed
shortly and Superintendent Lord in
formed him that they would be.
The board went into executive session
for few moments in regard to some
private matters.
After the executive session information
was given by Mr.. Brownson that the
teachers would like to have the schools
closed Wednesday SO as to enable them to
attend the meeting of the Pedagogical
society at Auburn that day.
This request provoked some discussion.
Mr.. Talbot thought the teachers had
better stay at home.
Mr.. MCGOWAN thought that parents
should be considered as we'll as teachers,
and TINT Friday New Years Day. had
better be observed than Wednesday.
Mr.. Lord explained that when some of
the teachers made arrangements to go to
Auburn they supposed the meeting
would be held in vacation. az it always
had, and that some Of them had made
arrangements to read papers before the
society,
Tbs motion to Gloss Wednesday did not
prevail, but motion to close Friday. was
agreed to.
Later Mr.. A. E. Chase of the High
school and Miss Taylor were granted
leave of absence for "Wednesday.
Mr.. Talbot wanted to know about foot
ball.
Mr. Allan said the school authorities
had never acknowledged football, and
that no pupils were allowed to enter the
High school temporarily to allow them
to play on the team.
DR.. Vose wanted to know ii boys were
not playing on the High school team tina
did not belong there. or rather If out
siders were not calling themselves High
school team.
Mr.. Allan said team was formed by
the boys in the High school and when
some of the boys dropped OUT some out
siders took their places.
Mr.. Talbot thought the school commit
tee had a right to say that such team
shouldn't be called Portland High
school team.
Mr.. Allan said that he had had appli-
cations for boys to enter the High school
40 as to play on the team, and he had re.
fused them permission. Outside of the
school he didn't see how the committee
could interfere.
Mr.. Talbot thought if the board would
express itself fully it could cure the
whole matter.
Mr.. Allan said certain boys had played
on the High school team under assumed
names.
DIR. Vose thought that sort of thing
could be stopped. He had heard that such
action had taken place in Bangor. Here
the discussion ended but no action was
taken.
Mr.. Hall was selected to prepare the
annual school report.
Bills to the amount Of $10,259.06 were
approved.

About Summer Breezes.
The thermometer flirting with the re

gest thoughts of green woods and silyery
streams, but one has but to spend few
moments in the Office of the general pas
senger agent of the Maine Central rail-
road, and glance at the mail enquiries In
regard to Names summer attractions
nr less famous summer retreats within
the confines of the great vacation state
1t seems strange to be talking and plan
ming about "cool summer breezes" when
we are hugging the big stove, but Father
Time will travel just rs fast in '97 as he
did in '96. and almost before we realize
it the summer rush will be on again. If
the number of letters already received
compared with the past few years is any
criterion, the coming season will be a
big one
More and more as the years roll on
Maine is getting to be the Mecca Of
sportsmen, and there is now no mure
popular place to hurt the woods and tap
the streams than the Pine Tree state. Its
game Is spreading everywhere. The fol-
lowing letters received by Col. Boothby

l am All old hunter, and this year
made my annual hunting trip down in

furnished.
We are party Of still hunters, never
using dogs, and we would like to get out
on some new railroad line just built
where we could camp close to the track,
and as we have tenting outfit in full,
all we want is chance to get flrewood
and water.
Will you, then please recommend such
place to me, and if you will point IL
out on the map and give me such infor-
