Meeting of the Board.


| forcibly impress on Prof. S. A. Farms
worth, of the Cleveland High school.
The provocation, which leaked out at
the board meeting yesterday, was the
receipt within a few days by one of the
teachers appointed to the Cleveland
that she was, TO make it short, persona
non grata to the principal, and that ne
wanted her to get transfer.
! 1t developed also that he had written
to Superintendent Curtis, asking that
a certain teacher in another school be
transferred to the Cleveland, and had
also written to still another, asking her
to apply for transfer to the position
which he wanted vacated. The teacher
last referred to protested against a
transfer and yesterday the board
wanted to know who appointed the
teachers.
Of the six members present each one
seemed to be of the opinion that the
law gave the board the power. Then
arose the question, what to do With
F'a.nsworth? Some Of the members
wanted him to dance on the carpet,
but subsequently it was decided that
it might be best to let the appoint
ment stand.
INSPECTOR Wilkes put it sententiously
when he inquired:
I'VE put her there, didn't We!'
Yes
And she's still there?"
Yes"
'Then she'll stay there
And the other members of the board
! 70 n
the teachers geographical location had
been designated with unerring accur-
acy.
The use of the Natural System OF
Music was authorized. Only three OF
the six books in the series will be USED,
and only two of those during the COM
ing year. Miss Josephine Barnaby,
fourth grade Irving, resigned, having
been offered a better position in ONO,
and Miss Frances Kuester, OF the
jackson, who asked for leave OF alb
sence for year on account Oh Ill
health, was granted it.
Miss Bee Taylor, whose true name
is believed to be Rebecca, but who
signed Bee, sent in an application for
a position-'the best you have to Of
fer" The application was referred to
the superintendent of schools.
V. Reinhart was appointed janitor al
the Hendricks school, and j. OGrady
assistant at the Webster.
1t was decided that hereafter admis-
sions to the high school from the
grades should be only at the beginning
of the year, the February admission
thus being abandoned.
The Tilden and Mattocks school were
ordered opened.
The committee appointed to investi-
n lines
for the various districts between the
Cleveland, Ericsson, Grant and Har-
rison districts, reported that the dis
trct was thickly populated and the
Ericsson and Cleveland schools especi-
ally overcrowded. The two grades
having half sessions could be we'll ac-
commodated in an annex, conveniently
near the Cleveland school, at a cost of
about $25 per month, with the teaching
force now provided The committee
recommended that rooms adjoining the
church on the corner Of Sims and
Weide streets, be rented for this pur-
pose and that the boundaries between
the districts remain as they are.

gate with reference to boundary lines
