 The matter of raising the tuition for Hillhouse High school and Boardman school was taken from the table an amendment to the rules having been of fered some time ago to increase the tuition from $60 to $70 per year and tabled under the rules. MT. Moran of the schol comimttee reported that he had appeared before the board or finance in relation to the matter and that the opinion had been there eX- pressed that it would be inadvisable 10 raise the tuition as higher rate of tu- ition would have a tendency to stop non n-resident pupils from attending the city schools and make necessary an ap- propriation of at least $2, 900 more year. ly for the department of education. The proposed amendment was then indefi- nitely postponed and the tuition will therefore remain the same as it has been, $60 per year.
