ness was the election of a teacher of Latin

succeed Mr.. G. S. Ellis. Mr.. George r.
Marsh was unanimously elected to fill
the vacancy.
Mr.. Marsh was one OF many applicants
for the position and was selected for the

years. and as principal of the Sheldon
vile, Mass, High school. Mr.. Marsh has
had excellent success and furnishes the
best of recommendations, He is about
thirty years old and has engaged in
teaching since his graduation from
college. The committee on the High
school voted that the salary for the
teacher of Latin and mathematics be
fixed at $1,000 per year.
The next bust mess was the oonstdera-
ton of the cases of the boys whose actions
and characterization had caused the
resignation of Mr.. Ellis. The case of
Doyle. who was brought before the board
at the last meeting for disorder in the
High school, was discussed. Mr.. Chase,
the principal, was present, and was in
clined to favor the readmission of the
boy. The board voted to allow Doyle to
return conditionally, and to reprimand
him.
The other Two boys Sullivan, captain
the football team, and Bowdoin, also
of the team, were before the board for re-
peated acts OF insolenoe to the teachers.
The board heard the statements of the
two boys and questioned them fully, and
voted five to one-Vose absent, and Mo
Gowan voting no-to expell both boys
from the High school. The board then
adjourned.
