AT meeting of the board of education
held yesterday at the Central high school,
the rules In regard to plays and enter
tainments were amended so that the prin-
cipals have direct charge of the matter. /.
This subject has been under discussion
for some time and the result is salts
factory both to the students and teachers.
The new rules provide that no concerts,
plays or entertainments shall be given
except on the permission of the board of
education, and that they then shall be
under the control of the principals of the
school in which they occur
Such auxiliary Organizations as the
principals shall deem proper and helpful
may be allowed, under the control and
jurisdiction of the principal to whom an
accounting of the funds shall be made.
Moreover, the students engaged In such
exhibitions must have an average in their
studies which will insure their passing
the examinations.
This action taken by the board yester-
day was in line with the recent effort to
bring students and teachers together In
the matter Of athletics. Students in the
various schools now recognize the fact
that their interests in sport, acting and
anything else are not different from those
of the instructors, and harmony now pre-
walls.
