School Commissioners Consider Plan
to Introduce a Commercial Course
in the City Schools.
MANY SCHOOL PLANS PRESENTED
Twelve Architects Vie for the Privilege Of
Furnishing Plans for the New School
Buildirg-Coal Contracts Made.

The Board of Education met in reg
u1ar session last evening at the City
Hall and the meeting proved to be
very inter esting one. During the
meeting the question of introducing
commercial course into the city schools
came up and was received with favor
by the members of the board. In or
der that the board may act on this
matter a special committee was APP
pointed to look into the matter and re-
port to the board at a special meeting
to be held on next Tuesday evening.
The plans for the new course as laid
out provide for a complete course i'll
commerce in the schools. The course
will be given absolutely free and will
probably be a two years course.
Special teachers will be employed to
teach business methods, typewriting
and bookkeeping, while penmanship
will not be neglected. The new course
will undoubtedly prove to be popular
| one if the board decide to add it to the
curriculum. At the special meeting
of the board to be held on next Tues
day evening the matter will be decided
and it is thought that the course in
business will be offered with the open
ing of the High School in September.
The announcement that the board
had decided to erect new school build
ing in the Sixth ward had the proper
effect and at the meeting last night an
even dozen architects from all parts
of the northwest appeared with plans
and specifications for the proposed
building. Nearly all the plans were
we'll suited for the purpose, and 1t is
probable that one of them will be Sc
!iected at the next meeting of the
board.
TIE estimates of the contractors and
architects for the new building are
from two to six thousand dollars in
excess of the figures named by the
building committee but the board ex-
poets that the cost of the building
completed will be in the neighborhood
of twenty thousand dollars. The
plans which were the most favorablY
considered were presented by Archi
tects Dickhaut and Gastra, of Keno
sha, VanRyn and DeGe11eke, of Mil
waukee, and Max Dunning, of Chicago.
The matter Of selecting a plan was
left over until the special meeting of
the board on next Tuesday. 1t is
hardly thought possible that the work
on the new building will be started be-
fore the first of next year.
| The teachers committee was not
ready to make any report on the teach
ers selected to fill vacancie, caused by
the designations of two teachers and
this will be taken up at the next meet
ing of the board. The board let the
contracts for the supply of coal for the
year. The contract for 100 tons of
hard coal was let to John O'Donnell,
of this city, the contract price being
So sc a ton. The contract for the soft
coal was let to Chicago firm at the
rate of $50 a ton.

The body went to a vault in Greenwood
cemetery. The ex-governor did not
have enough money to pay for grave.
