COMMITTEES on School House Locks Horns
With City Council Committee.


The committee on school houses and
hygiene OF the school committee had n
meeting scheduled for last evening, but
called 1T off on account Of the storm.
The committee is wrestling with the
oxford street problem and has locked
horns with the city council committee
Oh education. The only real understand
existing between the committees is
that they can't come to an understand
ing in regard to school house in the
immediate vicinity Of Oxford street
where fancy prices for land are the
rule.
The city council committee has NOT
taken a formal vote in regard to the
Eaton lot at the corner of Grown and
Chatham streets, which Ia the site de-
sired by the school committee. but the
members or the city council COMMITTEES
are flrmly set against that lot A com
promise which has been talked Of is
that the Oxford street property be sold
and the proceeds used toward the MR.
chase Of the Eaton lot. This supges-
ton has been favorably received by the
city council committee on education.
The latter think house more to fine
west. where land is not so dear. win
fill the wants OF that locality as well
as near the oxford street house. The
two committees have not given that
suggestion sufficient consideration fo
reach definite conclusion one wav or
the other.

NO REASON NOW
That Y. W. C. A. Meetings Cannot be
Held Since the Young Men Have Become
Exclusive.

| hat Y. w. G. A. Meetings Cannot be
Held Since the Young Men Have Become
Exclusive.
The committee on membership, home
and gymnasium of the Young Women's
Christian Association were to have held
their final meetings yesterday after
noon. preparatory to the meeting of the
executive board, which is to be held
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, but,
owing to the severity Of the weather,
the meetings were severally adjourned.
A pleasant day was passed among the
young ladies who make the association
their home, many of the members be-
ing school teachers, to whom the occa,-
sional ringing Of the no-school signal
is a welcome sound. Only those who
are employed regularly about the city
ventured out at all, asd - merry party
enjoyed the day with games and mu-
sic.
1t is thought that with the inaugural
ton of meetings at the Y M. c. A
for men only, an effort will be made
to hold meetings on Sunday afternoon,
as was formerly the custom. For sew
eral years these meetings were held
regularly and were found to be very
beneficial, but as time went on the at
tendance decreased until it was found
advisable to discontinue them for the
time being. Thus for some time there
have been no regular religious services
on Sunday at the building One of the
causes for the non attendance was
said at the time to be the joint meet
ing at Association Hall, and 1t was
found that many Of the young ladies
were attending services there. Now
that these joint meetings have been
abandoned, it is thought that the meet
ings for ladies can be again inaugu-
rated to advantage, and there is a
movement on foot among those in
charge of the association to begin these
meetings at once.
The state number of the Association
Record. the official organ Of the asso-
citation, has just made it's appearance
