DEATH OF MISS vANDERwARKER
ed at the School Board Meet
ing Yesterday.

That some means of controlling the
tendency Of a certain class Of children
OF school age to truancy is needed was
the consensus Of opinion at the meeting
Of the school board yesterday, and in
accordance with that belief 1t was d.
rected that a committee consisting OF
Messrs. Corning, Yoerg and 2. G. Zim-
norman confer with the local associated
charities relative to the appointment Of
u. L. Wellington as truant officer under
the state law. There is some question
as to the efficacy Of this law, but the
majority Of the board were confident
that 1t could be enforced with benef-
icent result.
Supt. Curtis reported the total en-
rollment in the schools, 20,9S7; average
daily attendance for December. 1861;
whole number for year. 1880.
Inspector Yoerg inquired how the
board was going to get the $425, 900
which it had calculated to expend for
the fiscal year 1898 when the maximum
limit Of taxation as applied to the most
recent valuation and liberal allow
ance from the state apportionment
would only give $401, 900. But the sug-
gestion was not answered or acted
upon. 1t came UP in a discussion Of
where the money was to come from to
kalsomine the Central high, Rice, Max
field and other schools, and was not
formally topic for official discussion.
The disposition seemed to be, however,
to trust in Providence and McCardy,
granted that both were to continue in
nr5a 1za1
somined.
The Pennsylvania and Ohio Coal COM
pany had a bill in for coal which
stirred up something Of a rumpus. Pres
ident Zimmerman declared he would
not audit the bill as he had looked over
some Of the coal recently furnished,
and it was worse than screenings. Mr..
Yoerg moved that the bill be paid, and
then everybody voted no, so as to hold
up the hands Of the president, al
though it was pleaded in extenuation
of the companys offense that it had
taken the contract at a losing price in
view Of the recent advance in coal
prices, and the price this year was prac-
tically one-fourth less per ton than last
year. Mr.. Yoerg, however, insisted that
the coal bills would be higher this year
than last in spite of the mild weather
so far, as in some of the schools it had
been found impracticable to heat the
schools properly with this coal in the
ordinary battery of boilers.
The new Century club was given per-
mission to hold a meeting in assembly
hall at the Central high school Feb. 9.
Supt Smith, of the high school, re-
quested the presence of the board at
the memorial service to be held tomor-
row noon, in respect to the death of
Miss Lydia Vanderwarker, and the
board adopted the following resolution:
- 40
