EOUCAT ION BOARD
HOLDS BUSY SESSION
Proposition to Abandon Lake
Breeze School.
PROF. GILLIAN CHOSEN
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL OF THE
HIGH SCHOOL.

The board Of education had a long
session last evening and disposed of
much routine business in the way of
ratifying committee reports. allowing
I bills and hiring teachers and janitors.
: All members were present except
Messrs. Bamberger and Critchlow, and
they wrestled in committee of the whole
TIL after 10 O'Clock and had the board
/ meeting after that hour. To avoid an
other such siege il was voted on a mo-
/ ton of Mr.. Walker to have the next
meeting in two weeks.
The most important matter that came
: before the committee was motion of
/ President Newman to abandon the
Lake Breeze school and haul the chill
dren to one CT the larger schools in the
city. It was argued that the Lake
Breeze building was a wretched affair;
/ tlte rent is s. per month, the janitor
. service IS and the teachers salary S45.
/ There are but fifteen school children
in the district. and it was demonstrated
/ that these could be brought to the city
/ each day at a much less cost than it
/ takes to maintain the Lake Breeze
| school, while at the same time the chill
| dren would have very much better ad-
vantages. No definite action was taken
! in the matter.
