in SCHOOLS
COMMISSIONERS CONSIDER BIDS
FROM BOTH COMPANIES.
City Librarian Furnished q New Bond
communication from the Y. N.
c. A.-Routinc Matters.

The matter of telephone service for the
public schools and school officials came up
at the School Board meeting Hast night in
the shape of bids from the Central Union
and the New Telephone companies for fur
nishing the service set out in advertised
specifications. The board asked for rates
on twenty-five instruments in district
schools. two in the High School, one in the
public library and three in the Offices of the
board. The bid of the New Telephone Com
pany was for the period of Sept. 30. 1900. 10
June 80. 1902. while the bid of the Central
Union was for the same period at a rate
per annum. The service of the twenty-five
telephones in the public schools was offered
by the New Telephone Company at $3.50.
The rate asked by the Central Union fig
ured for the period SLOTS. The figures for
the service under the other specifications
showed about the same difference. The
board deferred final consideration OF the
matter until its next meeting.
A new bond of Miss Browning. the IL
brarian. in the sum of $500 was accepted
and approved. Her surety Is George R
Sullivan.
A resolution was adopted equalizing the
salaries of the night watchmen at the High
School and the Manual Training School.
Heretofore one has been getting $50 a
month and the other $40. The change, which
will take effect July /, makes both salaries
$40 a month.
A communication was received from the
Y. NJ. c. A. asking permission TO consult
the public school records and present plans
to backward pupils to make up studies in
which they nae failed at examination in a
summer school to be conducted by the Y.
M. c. A. The association asked that II be
allowed to distribute blotters and post bull
letins giving information IN the school
buildings. 1t was stated that the summer
schoo would be of eight weeks duration,
there being five halliday sessions each
week. A fee of So Is to be charged for the
instruction and the recreative privileges of
the association. Action on the matter was
deferred until further ormation relative
to the summer school is obtained.
After a short executive session the board
adopted a resolution increasing the pay of
the second. third and fourth grade teachers
to equal that of the fifth grade, 1915 a year.
The teachers affected formerly received $3.50
a year. The increase in the pay roll thus
made will figure annually about s., 600. The
salaries of teachers Of other grades were
not changed.
The bills allowed and recommended for
payment amounted to s.. 142.S IS. TIL monthly
report of the librarian showed that there
were 1925 books In use during the month
of May.

TAKING BEGINS
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY PEO-
PIE STARTED OUT IN THE CITY.
The First Days Work Brings Numer-
Gus Neutrality-suspicious. Of
Them Related.

Yesterday morning 10 census enumer-
ators buckled on their satchels filed with
books and blanks and bravely started out
to face the population of indianapolis in
its most frigid spots. 1t was the beginning
of the twelfth United States census, and In
all fifty thousand men and women in this
big country started on a mission similar to
that of the 10 In this city. Those who had
experience as book agents or canvassers for
some household commodity were not
abashed. but for those burdened with mod
esty and unusued to the exposure Of 'front.'
door parlance it was a terrible ordeal. To
ask a tall, slender woman, with ~tell-tale
locks lone up in paper. her age, to inquire
into the matrimonial state Of the same in
dividual Immediately after the first furry
is over, follow up the query with a request
to know If the condition is hereditary and
to what extent the family has been affected
with the indisposition, then ask the next
door neighbor If all Of her children are
enumerated after the nine digits have been
exhausted, and end with hearing a robust
man explain tina he Is not a preacher or
a barber and doesn't keep chickens are
some of the experiences undergone by the
census takers yesterday
The enumerators anticipated trouble, but
they did not fully appreciate their mission
until the first subject was through telling
all he knew about himself, his ancestors
and his personal and real property. The
day was not far gone when the telephone
bell in Supervisor Clifford's office began to
jingle and questions came in by wire that
were only more complicated by distance.
In this manner the day was worried
into the office for instructions. He had
broker the point of his pen in. figuring up
the total amount of garden truck and poul-
try of a Southeastern.
Taken all together, Mr.. Clifford says. 1t
was a very good days work for the FIRST
day. He says that some took as many as
two hundred names and VIII be able to
is equal to s. a day. These, however, are
exceptions. Charles Aldredge was the first
TO make his Official report by postal card.
He reported that he had taken 155 names,
one farm schedule and one death. These
reports must be made each day
Last night several enumerators came 10
the supervisors office for instructions. One
of the perplexing questions asked was that
OF a man whose district takes In the stock
yards. He wanted to know TO whom cattle
should be credited that Is In pens in charge
OF commission men. Mr.. Clifford decided
that as the owner might be in any part
OF the United States. and as the cattle
were in the possession of the commission
man, they should be credited TO him. II
gan all the questions that could apply TO
any case had been answered, but still they
come, bright and new. and there seems to
be no abatement.
