was discovered.

amount of $500 on his stock and build

n@um and the Boys at the Public

At a meeting of the Board OF Educa-
ton Saturday night, il was decided to
separate the sexes, and hereafter all the
girls will be taught at the Atheneum
and the boys at the Public School build
ing, except the boys of the high school
department, who will be taught Ut the
Athepaum. This change went into
effect Monday morning.
Several days since the Board had
blank ballots distributed among the
parents of the school children, with a
view to ascertain their opinions on the
proposed change; 239 of these ballots
were returned filed out, 1865 being in
favor of the change and "a against.
There are now 5SS pupils enrolled in
the public school. The attendance was
much too large for the capacity of the
Public school building, and for this
reason it was found necessary to rent
the Athen@um and divide the pupils.
The question then arose as to whether
the ST. xes or the grades should be
divided, and the Board and patrons of
the school thought the separation of the
sexes would be better.
Prof. Bostick has assigned the teach.

Lipscomb; 9th and 9th grade girls, Miss

1t is the intention of the Board to
make these changes permanent if the
proper arrangements can be made. Ii
