evident that Critchlow was on a fishing
expedition, as it were, instead of tena-
ciously urging the adoption of his
broad views on the question
Moyles amendment was really a part
of the first clause in the original propo-
sition, reading as follows:
Resolved That the students of the
High school who are residents of Salt
Lake City or whose fathers, mothers or
guardians are taxpayers in this city,
and who are over Is years of age, be
given free tuition, provided that they
are pursuing a regular course leading
to graduation"
The vote of Moyle's amendment,
which superseded nearly everything in
the original set of recommendations,
was as follows: Ayes-Colton, Critch-
low, Nelden, Whitney, Wilson. Noes
Giauque, Moyle, Newman.
The emasculated part of the resolu-
ton was killed by vote of to 8, the
affirmative votes being announced by
Cotton, Newman and Whitney.
This disposed of the matter for the
evening until Superintendent Mills
paugh asked if the intent of the action
taken We're to exclude all who are over
is years of age taking special courses
at the High school.
President Cotton replied that it was
a permission of long standing and un-
less some affirmative action were taken
by the board none such would be ex-
cluded.
In reply to a question from Whitney
Superintendent Millspaugh said the
high school buildings accommodations
were not yet crowded.
The committee on teachers and school
work recommended the following:
That the petition of the residents Of
North Salt Lake be granted by the
rental of an additional room in con-
nection with the Bonneville school for
the accommodation of about % pupils
who are now required to attend the
Jackson and Washington schools, a
distance of about two miles.

coed Miss May Critchlow, resigned, at
the Wasatch school, and that George
Y. Robbins be employed at a salary of
s45 a month to fill the vacancy at the
Jackson school caused by Miss Ray
Riggs resignation.
That Miss May Hartwell, teacher at
the Bonneville school, be allowed So a
month, in addition to her salary, to
| help reimburse her for outlay in reach
ing her building, the same as was al

| school,
That authority be given the examin-
| ing board to hold a special session for
| the examination of such teachers as
were not examined at the regular ex-
animation of teachers and who are re-
/ quired to hold certificates.
The committees recommendations
were adopted without dissent
On recommendation of the commit
tee on teachers and school work, a
resolution was adopted permitting
principals of four-room and larger
school buildings to invite pupils Ic
contribute to a fund for maintenance
of pianos (rental and tuning) not to
exceed cents a month each, such con-
tributionS to be placed in suitable
boxes where pupils may make their

publicity, and any excess thus accruing
to be used for purchase of books foI
the school libraries.
