SCHOOL BOARD MEET
JOHN BETTING is PAID FOR WORK
ON THE DEFINING SCHOOL.
MISS ERICKSON A PRINCIPAL.
Board Reduces the Work of Prof wiswaIl
and Makes Miss Erickson the Head Of
High School Departments Other I'M
portant Business Transacted.

The Board of Education met in regu
lar session at the Central school build
ing Tuesday night and transacted
considerable important business.
The report of the finance committee
brought up the old question of the bill
of John Betting, for his work in the
construction of the Deming school. A
letter was received from Van Ryn &
Geleke, the architects, stating that the
work of Mr.. Betting had been largely
satisfactory, but in several ways the
building had not been constructed
according to the contract. Mr.. Betting
also sent a communication to the Board
in which he consented to make good
any plastering which might prove
defective and allow reduction of $40,
on account of some brick used which
were not according to contract. The
Board finally decided to cut the bill of
Mr.. Betting 800 and with this reduction
the bill was allowed.
Prof. Wiswall has long been doing
too much work to give proper time to
overseeing the different buildings and
the Board decided to reduce his work
as a teacher from four hours to one
hour day, in order to give him more
time to supervise the work in the other
buildings. Just at present it is not
known how the work formerly taught
by Prof Wiswall will be arranged, but
no new teacher will be employed. In
order to further lessen the work of the
Principal Miss Erickson was elected
Principal of the High school and will
have the supervision of the work in that
department.
The old question of insurance policies
was taken up and the board passed a
resolution adopting a general form of
policy for all insurance on city school
property and ordered that all present
and future policies be made in this
form!s Some increase was also ordered
in the insurance on the furniture in the
different builnings and the following
companies were reported as companies
not having the required $4,000 sur
plus and therefore not eligible to write
insurance for the city schools.
The Pacific, Mechanics of Philadel-
phia, United States of New York,
Rockford, Reliance of Philadelphia and
the Delaware Insurance Co.
The board by unanimous vote ex-
tended a vote of thanks to Arthur
Dana Wheeler of Chicago for his
assistance in the dedication of the
Deming school and ordered that copy
of Mr.. Wheeler's address be filed in the
archives of the board of education.
