The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-07-01

The board OF control met in special
session last night, but the report of
the high and training school commit
tee containing the makeup, or rather
shake-up of the High school faculty
was not forthcoming.
The report was framed and ready for
presentation last Monday night, but
owing to the failure Of a favoring ma
jority to materialize the meeting was
broken up. Yesterday afternoon the
high and training school committee
held a session in Superintendent
Howell's office and summoned before
1t all the teachers of the high school.
They were questioned concerning the
condition of affairs at the school with
special regard to the conduct of Prin-
cipal Phillips. The principal himself
was among those summoned and it is
understood there was a very warm
time during his examination. When he
got through, the examiners so 1t is
avered tossed up a penny to see
whether they or DIR. Phillips had been
on the rack.
When the report of the high and
training school committee was called
for last evening Chairman Jayne an
nounced that it would not be presented
until the next meeting which is one
week from Monday next He told Of
the afternoon session and stated that
owing to the fact that IT lasted until
$40 p. m. the committee had not had
time to prepare a report. The evidence
was all taken in short hand and would
he printed, Mr.. Jayne said. for distribu-
tion among the members. He added
that he was prompted to make this
explanation by the reports that had
been presented FOR the committee by
the newspapers.
TESTIMONY FOR MEMBERS.
Mr. Jennings, who was one Of the
several controllers, not members of the
committee, who attended the hearing,
moved that the proceedings Of the in
vestigation be transcribed and n copy
furnished each member; also that the
committee be directed to report at the
next meeting Mr.. Jayne wanted Su-
perintendent HOwell's report distribut-
cd with the transcript Of the proceed
ings. This and Mr. Jennings motion
were agreed TO without debate
The large crowd of citizens who at
tended the meeting to see excitement
were not wholly disappointed. The re-
port Of the teachers committee on the

nished a very liberal share.
