Number of Changes Made In the
Teaching Staff.

The board of education at its meeting
yesterday decided to vacate the present
quarters in the high school building and
rent suite of rooms in one of the down.
town office buildings to make more room
for the high school work. The Central
high school has been unduly crowded for
over year. and the rooms used for many
years as superintendent's and secretary's
office will be converted into two large
class rooms.
Last year there were not sufficient sit
tings in any of the rooms, and the faculty
of the school experienced considerable
inconvenience for the lack of adequate
recitation rooms.
The matter was left with Inspector
Corning, who announced that he had sew
eral places in view, among them five
rooms in the Germania Life building that
were well suited to the needs or the
board.
Supt A. ]. Smith submitted his month
ly report, which indicated that the total

The board went on record yesterday as
being opposed to allowing entertainments
foreign to the public schools to take
place in assembly hall of the Central
high school. In the past there have been
many applications for the use of the hail.
r. which have seriously interfered with the
school work. President Zimmerman
spoke in no. uncertain terms upon the
subject He thought it unwise to run in
competition with the opera houses, as
entertainments not given in connection
with the school work had no place in the
hall It was decided to refer all future
applications to the committee on en-
gineers and janitors. One application was
received and took that course.
The Woman's Civic league asked per-
mission to maintain an industrial sewing
room in one Of the rooms Of the Lafay-
cite school. The league has fixed up
play grounds opposite the school,, and
asked permission to store the recreation
devices in the school building. Both re-
quests were granted.
The Webster school union presented a
resolution asking for an assembly hall
for the school, in which the union could
hold its meetings and serve also the pur-
poses of the school. The resolution stated
that there was an unfinished room in the
school which could be fixed up and util-
lied for that purpose. The matter was
referred to the real estate committee.
The board voted to give the teachers
the regular schedule increase of S., with
the exception of those receiving $3.50.
The latter will receive an advance to
$50 per month
airy fund was made up by transfer of
funds from the fuel account.
