DISTRUSTFUL OF PUPILS.
The request Of number of boys and
girls of the graduating class of the
Grant school. who have organized
literary and debating club, for the use
of a room in the school building, where
they could hold the clubs meetings one
evening a week. came nearly being
turned down. The discussion developed
an opposition to tile plan of letting the
school buildings for such a purpose as
mentioned in the communication of
Miss Emma Sutherland, who made the
request for the club. Some of the board
members contended that where no ade-
Quate provisions were made for lighting
up the school buildings in the evenings,
the fire risk would be unduly increased,
while the other members expressed the
belief that TO grant such license with
out knowing whether the pupil men,
bers of the club were to be properly
chaperoned at their after dark meet
ings, would be setting a bad precedent.
Mr.. Wilson'S motion to grant the re-.
quest was voted down Overwhelmingly,
but on mis- suggestion the matter was
referred to Superintendent Millspaugh
with power to act, after the latter had
expressed himself favorably to the
scheme. if it could be arranged with
due regard for all proprieties.
STILL NEGOTIATING FOR SUP
PLIES.
The difficulty over the awarding of
the contract for furnishing paper and
other school supplies was, for the time
being, adjusted by the adoption of
resolution recommended by the COM
mittee on teachers and school work.
which has had the matter under con-
sideration. The resolution authorized
the notification by wire Of the Moser-
Burgess Paper company that the board
expected the Chicago company to COM
ply with its bid for paper. declination
or failure to so comply by the 18th
inst. at night to be deemed sufficient
authority for the committee to let the
contract to the next lowest bidder, and
charge the derelict company for the
excess of price.
Another resolution offered by the
same committee was adopted, author
izing the acceptance of A II. Andrews
& Co.'S hid for furnishing four dozen
quart bottles of Sanford's best library
paste for the sum of $3.50.
The Central School Supply company,
having declined to ill the order placed
with it at $74, the price bid for furnish
ing 500 gross OF eiameled crayons, the
bid of Payot. Upham &, Co. for the
crayons at $50 was accepted.
