Rev, Or. n. A; Hyde, and c; f. Coffin
visited the School Board last night in the
interests of the Board of Childrens Guard
ians. The children under the care of the
board, were yesterday removed from the
old home at the end Of Prospect street to
the new institution at Irvington. For sew
eral years teacher has been assigned by
the superintendent Of the schools TO teach
the children at the guardians home. Since
the removal to Irvington the board of man
ayers has understood there was some doubt
as to whether the School Board would con-
tinue this arrangement. DR.. Hyde and Mr..
Coffin visited the board to urge the inn
portance of keeping up the school. Both
plan and explained that the most of the
children under the control of the board
belong IN the city. ana are part Of the
board in the name of the children to con-
tinue the school. He said the County Com
missioners had agreed to contribute furni-
ture for a room for this purpose if the
School Board would assign a teacher to
take charge CT the school, Commissioner
OF the city could not be sent to this school.
Mr.. Coffin thought such an arrangement
could be made. The board referred the mat
ter to the proper committee.
The board adopted the following resolu-
ton in connection with the retirement of
Miss Fideia Anderson:
Whereas, Miss Eidelia Anderson, who
has for over a generation taught all the
different grades in our schools, has con-
Guided to sever her connection with our
system and take well-needed rest,
Resolved, That the Board of School
Commissioners accept the resignation with
regret. Her efficient work, unsefish exam
pie and consistent character have ever
been an inspiration to her pupils.
Resolved, That Miss Anderson carries
with her our best wishes and earnest desire
that the evening of her life may be as calm
and tranquil as her influence in our schools
has been efficient.
