 was the first regular meeting that the
 new board has held since the beginning
 of the present school year. It was the
 intention of the board to formally or
 ganize and elect officers last night, but owing to the absence of Messrs. Whit ney and Hooker these ceremonies were deferred until the return of the mem- bers to the city. There was no dis- l cussion of the double session plan of Hillhouse, the meeting being taken up
 mostly by the hearing of reports. The following invitation as having been ex- tended to the board of education was read last night. "The president and fellows of Yale university request the honor of the presence of the commis- sioners of the department of education at the inauguration of Arthur Twining -""NiSJ, ILL., oo PiCoiASit OA til0 university, on Wednesday, the eigh- teenth of October eighteen hundred and ninety-nine.'
 The board voted to attend the inaug- uration in a body. It was voted to extend to the New Haven Gaslight company a vote of thanks for the ele- gant new gas range and complete out fit given to the Boardman school by the company. The range was put in last week and will prove valuable acquisi- tion to the school. A petition signed by about fifty citizens of the vicinity of Gamer and Livingston streets was re- ceived by the secretary of the board and read as follows; To the Honorable Board of Education
 of New Haven:
 Gentlemen: We the undersigned res- idents and property holders, hereby ur- gently request that a school house which shall include kindergarten de- partment be built and on the land al- ready purchased, at the corner of Liv- ingston and Gamer streets, as soon as possible There is already a great need for this and we hope that favorable ac- tion can be taken very soon."
 MT. Asher said he had met a great many citizens of the vicinity who were very urgent in their demands and that he was convinced that the school would be a splendid thing.
