The following amendments to rules
governing the high school were offered:
Any nonresident pupil may be ad-
mltted to the high school at the discre-
ton OF the superintendent, principal and
teachers and schools committee, upon
payment to the school collector of 50 tui-
ton per month. But no such pupil shall
be received into any class until the COL
lector's receipt for tuition for the cur
rent term has been presented. Provld-
ed, however. that nonresident pupils
| shall In no case be admitted TO the eXciu>
sion or material inconvenience OF pupils
residing in the city. The principal shall.
as soon as practicable, deliver to the
clerk Of the board Of education such
tickets of admission and collectors re-
| ceipt. and the clerk shall charge the col
lector with the amounts shown by said
receipts.
Colonel Miller objected to a reduction
in the price of tuition for out-of-town
pupils for the reason that the Maxwell
building will probably not accommo-
date more than the Wheeling pupils, Dr.
Jepsen vas not In favor OF reducing tui-
ton fees and bidding for country pat
| rOnagc which Is really not wanted.
Mr.. Miiiigan spoke of Colonel MIXERS
attitude toward the high school In a
tone Of levity that didn't please the lat
ter gentleman, who responded rather
sharply.
Dr. Jcpson moved that the section pro-
| vldlng for the reduced tuition be struck
out, leaving the section beginning 'All
| resident pupils" Mr. Stanton wanted
the reduced price OF tuition to apply to
citizens Of Ohio county The discussion
was extended aud finally resulted Ia q
motion to lay the whole matter on the
table, which was defeated. The Stan
ton substitute was then voted upon. and
passed to the tune Of II to O. Dr. Jep-
son voted under Misunderstanding
and wanted to change, but II WINS too
late. His vote had made the passage Of
the substitute possible, eleven votes, a
| majority Of the entire board, being me-
cessary.
Mr.. Stanton introduced resolution
providing that when text books are to
be selected the clerk shall notify Lead
| Ing publishers that they must IN no
case, send amy agents or lobbyists or
write any personal letters to members
| az the board. aud Ia the event of any In
fraction. the offending publisher be de-
barred from competing for the adoption
