Board of Education Meets.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
Board Of Education last night the senior
class Of the High school presented a petit
ton asking that 1t be given permission to
engage a speaker for the graduating exer-
cises next June. The reason the request
was made at this early date was explained
that in the event of it being refused the
members Of the class would require time to
prepare their graduating orations. The
class offered to bear all the expense OF the
speaker and as evidence of good faith en-
closed a certificate Of deposit for s66 with
the petition. After considerable discussion,
during which several members Of the board
expressed themselves as very much pre-
ferring the old system OF o~rations by the
graduates to any speaker that could be
brought from abroad, 1t was decided to lay
the petition over until the next meeting.
The report Of Superintendent Hayden,
covering the third month Of school ending
December 2 showed the entire enrolment
to be: Boys, 2,275; girls, 2,343; total, 1918;
monthly enrolment, boys, 2,152; girls, 2,195;
total, 4,347; average daily attendance, 3,720;
number Of cases Of hardness, 532; number
either absent or tardy, 1878. Mr.. Hayden
explained that the unfavorable weather and
an increasing amount of sickness had been
the chief causes Of the irregularity of at
tendance. He also made a special report of
the successful art exhibition held in the
Washington avenue school building on Fri
day night last by the art department Of
the Woman's club, the net proceeds of which
amounted to $77.85, which will be applied
to the purchase Of pictures for the corridors
Of the building. This sum, he estimated,
would purchase about twenty-five pictures.
Realizing that the art movement in the
schools has become so popular and such a
success. the board decided to rescind its
action Of the last meeting and voted to pur-
chase 5000 feet Of picture molding for the
various school rooms.
Miss Florence Reed was elected substi-
tute teacher and the salary Of Mrs. Belle
Barclay. appointed in the place OF Miss
Teresa Coyne, was fixed at $50.
A motion to pay the teachers three weeks
salary before Christmas was passed.

township appeared before the board and
