if those who were refused admittance
to the teachers training school on ac-
count of lack of room could not be
accommodated if a larger building
was provided. ct is not good policy"
said the superintendent, ''tO educate
teachers faster than we can place them.
The school at it's present standard is
doing excellent work
Mrs. George N. Weaver appeared be-
fore the board and asked that her
daughter be admitted to the school, as
she had only been rejected because Of
defect in her attendance record. Mrs.
Weaver is a widow and with tears
asked that her daughter might be given
a chance to prepare herself to earn a
livelihood. The board, while taking no
formal action in the matter, left the
matter with the superintendent, with
the understanding that if Miss Weaver
qualified she be given admission to the
school.
The report of D. T. Wellington, tru-
ancy officer, was submitted, and dealt

terminating. The board did not, how

by desire to make a strong case of
the application.
