Gradually, with strength. my

Helen, but they had been chiefly of our

SCHOOL BOARD MEET
BOARD OF EDUCATION HOLD AN
UNINTERESTING MEETING.
COURSE OF STUDY REFEREED
Contractor Beltings Bill for Deming
School is So, s4s. an Increase of $s4s
Above the Contract Price-Drawing
Models Are Purchased.

The Board of Education met in reg
ular session at the Central building
Tuesday evening, Commissioners Jack
son, Bendt, Burg and Holderness being
absent.
In the absence OF President Jackson
Commissioner Newman was chosen
chairman.
The minutes of the previous meetings
were read and adopted.
Two petitions were received, asking
the Board to purchase books for pupils
too poor to purchase them. This was
referred to the chairman of the COM
mittee on text books.
The Board then went into the dis
cussion of the course of study as pre-
pared by Principal Wiswall and the
different teachers in the school. There
are very few amendments to the pres
ent course of study, but the course is
made more specific. The matter was
finally referred to the superintendent
for the purpose of examination and he
will report at the next meeting.
Commissioner HOlderness, chairman
of the committee on supplies, was in
structed to purchase ten sets of drawing
models for the use of drawing classes in
the various buildings.
The committee on assignments have
not as yet been able to outline school
districts, but this work will probably be
completed this week. The arrange
ment of the pupils has caused the
Board no end of trouble and radical
rules will be laid out and rigidly en-
forced.
The finance committee reported that
$4,000 insurance had been taken out on
the new building in companies having
the qualifications demanded by the
rules of the Board. The Board thought
that the rating made for some of the
buildings was exceedingly high and
the policies were sent back to the
finance committee for further investi-
cation.
The usual number of bills were pre-
sented and allowed.
The bill of John Betting for building
the Deming school was received and
amounted to total of ST., 848.O5, or
$848, extras over the contract price of
the building. Mr.. Belting's bill was
referred to the finance committee to
report on at special meeting.
The committee on buildings and
grounds were instructed to secure
electric bells for the Deming school
and for one of the rooms at the Central
building.
The Board then adjourned to meet
on tie evening of Jan. "a.

the new officials we're ushered in under
suspicious circumstances.

enjoyable literary and musical program
was given in which little Mabel Kerr,
Ida Ferry, Charles Schulz and Henry
Halberstadt, Jr. took part.
After the program a delightful
luncheon was served, after which the
Woodmen and their guests INDUCED in
dance until early morning. Prof.
Stemm and his orchestra furnished the
music and guests were present from
Racine, Bristol, Salem, SOmers and
Pleasant Prairie.
