THE HIGH SCHOOL.

and the Scholars Must Furnish Theii
Own Text Books and Pay $50 Pei
Capita-Reports Heard and Other
Business Transacted.
At the regular meeting of the board
of education last night it was voted tc
repeal the former vote of the board
which prohibited out-of-town pupils
from entering the high school owing to
the crowded condition of the school, Sc
that now scholars from West Haven
Whitneyville, Westville and other
neighboring places may enter the high
schools on payment of $50 per capita.
The pupils coming from out of town
will be obliged to furnish their own
textbooks as in previous years.
The question of the Westville text
books that has been brought up so
many times was disposed of last night,
when on a vote of the board it was de-
cided to compel the Westville pupils to
furnish their own books Superintend-
ent Beede said last night that the SUI
perintendent of the Westville district
had come to him and asked If some
agreement could be made whereby the
Westville pupils could pay a certain
sum for the privilege of using the high
school books. This question was dis
cussed, but it was decided that the wear
and tear on the books would be greater
than the payment thereon.
There were only four members of the
board present last night-Messrs. Belts,
Moran, Jackson and Asher. Owing to
the absence of President Whitney a
