At the suggestion of Supt. Smith rule
Of the board was amended so that In
graduating honors the pupils standing
first and second should be so designated,
and the next twenty-five should enter
into a competition and prepare essays.
The essays are to be submitted to a COM
mittee of three disinterested citizens, VINO
are not to know the name of the writer
The eight highest of the twenty-five will
rank accordinly in the class. The idea, as
explained by Inspector Fry, is to protect
the pupils from the partially of teach
ers, and at the same time protect the
teachers from the imputation of partial
ity to children.
The board of public works was asked to
have a sidewalk constructed from the
Whittier school to Rice street. The ques-
ton of continuing the annexes to the
schools was discussed, and Inspector
Corning called attention to the fact that
the rental of the annexes would have to
be paid from the repair fund and this
would eat up about s., 900 of the $4,000 in
the fund. when we get to the end of
our string we will have to STOP" said Mr..
Corning.
Inspector McNair said there was but
one of two things to do, either do away
with the annexes or pay for the same out
of the repair fund, and he favored the
aforementioned proposition. No other fund
was available
Inspector E. o. Zimmerman advanced
the plan of having the city, which owned
the realty around some Of the schools
pay rent for the annexes out Of the gen.
eral fund. Inspector Corning said s4,50(
of the repair fund had been spent already
Supt Smith said the board would either
have to provide annexes or extend the
halliday sessions for higher grades. He
was not sure which was the best, as the
anneXes were poorly lighted and very ba6
from sanitary standpoint
A resolution was adopted providing fol
annexes for the Hendricks and Murray
schools and also for others that were
conducted last year and were needed thi:
year. The board adopted the recommen
