The Board of Education met in regu-
lar session at the City Hall Tuesday
evening and quite little business of
importance was transacted.
The first business to come before the
Board was the presentation of the res
ignation Of Mrs. Marie Miller, who
has been at the head of the musical de-
partment of the city schools for the
past two years. The resignation was
sent to the Board to take effect at the
close of the present school year. Mrs.
Miller gave no reason for retiring
from the work. In the loss of Mrs.
Miller the schools Of the city loses one
of its most efficient teachers. She took
hole of the Musical department of the
schools two years ago and under her
careful supervision the department has
been made one of the most successful
departments of the entire school sys-
tenn. No action was taken in regard
to the election of a successor, but the
new instructor will be chosen at the
time of the selection of the other teach
ers for the coming year.
The Buildings and Grounds commit
tee have renewed their old fight against
the plumbing in the Gi11ett school and
they reported that the work had not
been done in accordance with the
plans and asked that the pay for the
work be withheld until the contractors
had made provision for the repair of
the cold air ducts. The recommends
ton was accepted by the Board.
The committee was instructed to
purchase a bell for the Den1ing school
The sum of 500 was appropriated
for the Commencement exercises and
like sum was appropriated for the pur-
chase of library books for the High
school library.
Commissioner Hack1ey called up his
two amendments to the rules of the
Board, and the Board decided that two
new committees were to be added to
the list. One on Rules and Regu1a-
tions and one on printing. The rules
committee will consist of Superin-
tendent Mcdowell, Chairman Will
1iams and Commissioners Buchanan,
Baker and Kroncke. The committee
on printing will be Commissioners

The Board decided that in the future
an annual publication will be issued
containing the rules of the Board and
complete reports of the school for the
year. The annual will be issued just
before the opening of the September
term of the schools.
Janitor Jacob Herman was granted !
permission to take trip to the "O1d |
Country" during the coming long va
cation, onthe condition that he secure |
a substitute to attend to his work dur
ing his~absence.
The High school committee recon-
mended that piano be purchased for
the use of the Central building, and |
the matter was referred to the COM
mittee TO report al an early date.
The committee on supplies was
ordered to investigate the purchase of
a number of folding chairs for the use
of visitors in the different buildings.
After the usual routine business the
Board adjourned to meet again on May
22nd.
