 A communication was then read by President Whitney from the commit tee of the Woman's School association Requesting that the association be all lowed to carry on the work during the that they started two years ago and that proved so successful last year. The communication requested that the board of education allow the to have the use of the Zun- der school playground and kindergar- ten, and four rooms on the second floor and one on the first and third floors.
 Last year the association had the use of the playground and two rooms in the building. The committee also re- quested that they be allowed to use the Wooster school playground and two rooms in the school this summer in connection with their work in Zunder school
 The Womans School association did T 1p olr J.A summer, and intends to do as much more this year. The plan is to open the zunder and Wooster playgrounds for the children in the vicinity of those .wo schools and allow them freedom there during the hot summer days. This keeps them off the street, and as hey have a guardian over them the benefit to the little ones is very great. The rooms in the buildings that are used 1y the Woman's School association are occupied so many hours day by chill lren who are put through a regular ,ourse, thought not a difficult one in my way.
 Superintendent Kendall said that lthe dea of turning one of the Zunder rooms nto living room and having the chil- :. lren take the whole care of it was an excellent one. and he hoped the board would grant the request of the com- nittee.
 The question with regard to increas- ng the janitor's salary was discussed It length by the board and as 1t was % late to make any increase over the 15 paid last year all the available honey being contracted for.
 It was finally voted on motion of Ir Hooker that the privilege with egard to the rooms and grounds as sked for in the communication be ranted.
 It was also voted not to grant the equest regarding the payment of the anitor's fee as there are no available unds The meeting then adjourned.
