The regular meeting of the board of education was held last night and the absentees were President Whitnay, MT. Harmount and MT. Jackson. MT. Hook CT presided over the meeting.
 The most important business, ana that which took up most of the time ot the meeting, was the reviewing of the estimates to be submitted to the board of finance on Thursday October 10. In this list the board will make few re- quests for increases over the appropri- ations of last year. An important part of the report of the committee on schools was regarding the appropria- tions to be asked. for from the board of finance, this part of the report being as follows:
 The committee recommends that the board of education ask the board or finance to appropriate for the calendar year 1902:
 1. For evening schools s4,o0o This is the same amount that was appfo- priated for this purpose for the year 1901.
 2. For salaries of teachers of the day schools s294 ,OOO The present salary list  is (september 2O) $292.43O
 The appropriation for the calendar year 1901 was s29O 400 of this amount (s29O, 4O0) the board of finance approprl-' ated $29O, 1000 in the annual approprla- tions. Later $500 was appropriated for opening additional rooms at the Wood- ward school. The finance commtttee or the board of education appropriated s40O of this amount for the salary of an additional teacher at this school.
 The appropriation recomfnended ny the committee on schools for salaries or teachers of the day schools is an ir1- crease of s3,60O over the aprropriHtio for 1901. and an increase.o of $h570 over present salary list. The cause of this increase in the amonntaaaked for As the natural and necessary gro%th of the school system, During the last fye years. the average ~afnual increase in the number of registered pupils has been 372. This increase in the number of puplls makes anew school building nearly ev- cry year, In any case new rooms must be opened and additional teachers en,- ployed annually. It is chiefly to this fact that the increase in thessalary list is due. TNe increase asked for Is, of course, an estimate, but we believe It 1 is not in excess Of what is sneeded for the efficient and economical admins tration of our schools.
