matters went into executive session and
assigned teachers for next year. Three va
cancies were announced in the regular
corps of teachers. One was occasioned by
the recent death of Miss Nellie Wiles. Two
other teachers are TO be married and will
not be in the schools next year. A few
minor changes were made in salaries.
Among the routine matters was the
awarding of the blackboard contract for
school No 40. The committee on buildings
and grounds recommended that the con-
tract be let to the Standard School Furni-
ture Company, Of Chicago, for $780, Attor-
ney William t. Brown was allowed the sum
of $415 for his services in the annexation of
the Brightwood, West indianapolis, Haugh-
vile and Mt. Jackson schools. A commu-
nication was received from the First Ma
tional Bank confirming the agreement for
the extension of the building and equipment
note of $26,153.63, due July l. 1897 to July /,
1901.
A sharp skirmish occurred between Pres
ident Scott and Commissioner Roth over
the report of the Gregg bequest COM
mittee. This committee, composed of Will
lam Scott, D. X. Goss Miss N. Cropsey
and Mary Nicholson. recommended that
Cora Christy Anna Keay. Alice Forsyth,
Mary Atland Anna Reddington, Linda
Schulz and Jessie Duzan attend the Cook
County Normal School for the summer
term and that each of these teachers be
allowed the sum of $50. The COM
mittee also recommended that Catherine
Courtney and Alice O'Hair be elected to
attend the summer school at Harvard Uni
Versity and that each be allowed the sum
of $3.50; also that Mary Wilson, Nellie Ash
brook, Eleanor Williams, Josephine Bauer,
Prudence Cook Anna Stratford, Jean Ora
ham, Martha Pich. Wealtha Wilson, Rachel
Segar, Mary Buckley and Anna Burton be
appointed to attend the summer school of
Chicago University with an allowance of
800.
1t was while these recommendations were
taking the regular course that President
Scott and Commissioner Roth met in
sharp contest of words. The manner in
which the commissioner addressed the
chair called forth a singing rebulxe and an
order to take his seat. The commissioner
declined, and the president pounded the
gaVel. The commissioner declared the
president had no right to address him in
that sort of manner. The president de-
clared the commissioner was unciVil. Peace
soon reigned, however, brought about by an
apology on the part of both. Commissioner
Roth thought the teachers sent away to
training schools by the Gregg fund should
be required to give the Indianapolis schools
the benefit of that training. Superintend-
ent Goss said the fund was in the nature
or glft and no eXactionS were to be
placed on the beneiciaries. 1t was under
stood, however, that those who took adVan-
tage of this training would return to In
dianapolis and continue in the schools for
year, at least. The report of the COM
mittee was adopted. iUi
