M. T, SCUDDER CONFIRMED
WILL SUCCEED TO PRINCIPALSHIP OF HILLHOUSE HIGH SCHOOL,
Board of Education Adopts Committees Recommendation-The Salary Will be S3,OOO-An Increase of $500 Over the Salary Received by Principal Thomas Other Business Transacted


 s3,oOO--An Increase of $500 Over tho Salary Received by Principal Thomas Other Business Transacted.
 At the special meeting of the board of education held last evening the recom- mendation of the special instruction committee that Myron T. Scudder be appointed principal of Hillhouse high school at salary of s3,OOO per year was unanimously adopted.
 In making the recommendation John T. Manson, chairman of the committee, said: "The committee has spent con- siderable time in seeking out man who would creditably fill the position of principal. We believe that in MT. Scudder we have secured a man who will carry on successfully the work of the high school. It was found to be impossible to get a first-class man at salary less than $3,0O0 per year. It was found that many cities with population less than that of New Ha- ven pay the principals of their high schools $S,000 per year. Holyoke, Mass, has just secured a principal at that salary"
 The salary received by MT. Thomas as principal of Hillhouse high school was $2,700 per year, and it will be seen that the increase in salary for the po- stion is only $500 instead of $500 as has been reported
 The committee on special instruction further recommended that the salary of Elzur B. Thompson of Boardman school be increased from $7OO per year to $750; the appointment of Carolyn Parrish of Chicago as teacher in the Boardman Manual Training school at a salary of $950 per annum; that the salary of Lucretia H. Dayton, teacher in Boardman, be increased from $500 to $400 per year; the appointment of Anna l.. Adams as teacher in Hillhouse high school at salary of $950 per year. These recommendations were adopted. The committee reported the resigna- tions of George A. Booth, Miss Mary Sloan and Miss Leah Hutchinson, the two former from the positions of teach CTS in Hillhouse and the latter from the position of teacher in the kinder garten of Strong school The resigna- tions were accepted.
 It was recommended that Miss Vesta Hardy be appointed to the position made vacant by the resignation of Miss Hutchinson at salary of $500 pear year and the recommendation was adopted. The committee recommended that $503 be appropriated for the physical labor atory, $2O6 for the chemical laboratory, $2O6 for the biological laboratory of Hillhouse high school and $500 for the laboratory in Boardman. The recom- mendations were adopted. The appro- priations recommended are about $500 less than the appropriations made last year
 It was recommended that all pupils who tried and failed to pass the ex- aminations held early this summer for admission to the high schools and fail- ed to pass be given another opportuni- ty in September, 75 per cent to be re- quired for a pass mark. The recom- mendation was adopted.
 On recommendation by the commit tee it was voted to appropriate S40O for the equipment of the carpenter shop in Strong school No teacher for this work has yet been engaged
 MT. Connor of the building commit tee reported that all the city school buildings would be ready in time for the opening of the schools in Septem- Der except Eaton school, where the heating apparatus has not yet been ar ranged.
 MT. Connor reported that the com nlittee was not ready to recommend the appointment of janitors as it had been found advisable to transfer cer- tain tanitors to the new buildings, and as the salary there will be less than in their former positions, in some in- stances, the appointees had refused to accept.
 The committee on schools made the following recommendations: that Miss; Adelaide Wallace be transferred from the position of teacher fin room 10 Loy- ell school to room Roger Sherman school, as principal of the building, at 6 salary of S700 per year; the transfer. at her own request, Of Miss Mary Coak- ley from room Ii of Lowell school to room 10 of the same school, the salary to be fixed at ss75 per year; that Miss Sarah F.
