Exciting Games of Foot Ball.

Unless present Indications are mis-
leading, Danville will be afforded the ex-
hilaration of witnessing some good foot
ball games between local teams during
the present season.
That great game seems to have sud-
denly gained great popularity IN this
city and every day almost all the vacant
lots about town are covered with squads
of young men who are busily engaged in
booting the pig skin or practicing mass
plays or end runs.
The members of the III" base ball
team have taken up the game and are
practicing daily while the H. S. A. A..
team is rapidly rounding into shape
Several other teams are talked about
and should they be organized an inter
city series of games would make great
attraction.

A NIGHT SCHOOL
WILL Be ORGANIZED
In October So Decided at Monday Nights
Meeting of School Board.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of
the School Board was held Monday night
with Mr.. Lunger, Pres. protein, in the
chair, he acting for Mr.. Fisher who was
not in attendance, and Messrs. Orth,
Green, Berger, Barber, Werkheiser,
Curry, Black, Harpel and keefer at their
desks.
By the adoption of the following re-
port, which was submitted by the COM
mittee on Teachers and Certificates, it
was decided that night school be es-
tabIished:
Pursuant to a call from the chair
man of the Teachers Committee, a meet
ing was held on Friday evening last for
the purpose of considering the advisa-
bility of opening a night school. Your
committee upon investigating the mat
ter recommend the opening of an even
ing school as soon as practicable, and we
recommend Mr.. Fred Ream as teacher,
at salary of $50 per month.
We also recommend a vacant room in
the Third ward building as the place for
holding it and that the school be kept
up so long as 10 scholars are in attend
ance."
At the next meeting the Board will
determine on other necessary arrange
ments for the opening of the school
which it is thought will take place in
October
At former meeting it was decided,
that in accordance with the school laws
of the state, the secretary of the Board
of Health would be required to report
all cases of contagious diseases to the
superintendent so that it would be pos
sble for that official to keep from the
schools, pupils residing in infected
houses. Monday night it developed that
a number of the cases had not
been reported and the Board decided to
inform the secretary Of the Health
Board that his laxness in the affairs of
his office was known and that in the fu-
ture it would not be tolerated.
Among the supplies and furnishings
that were ordered were $lS worth of
chemicals for use in the High School,
table for Miss Gregory's room, Fourth
ward, and book case for Miss Pritch-
ards room, Second ward.
The black board in Miss Gallagher's
room, First ward, was ordered repaired
as it was reported to be in such bad
condition that children in the rear of
the room were unable to decipher the
characters written on it.
At the suggestion of Mr.. keefer, the
water faucet will be removed from the
school house at the Catawissa station
and a hydrant was ordered placed in
the yard.
The Board decided to ask for bids on
the printing of 1000 copies of the Course
in Literature.
