OLYpHANT.

At Wednesday nights meeting of the
school board it was decided to reopen
the night school on Sept. 80. Miss
Mary O'Connor was appointed substi-
tute teacher. On the recommendation
of the supply committee, the board pur-
chased four sets Of maps from the firm
of j. Hobarth Smith & Company, re-
presented by James H. Feeley, of this
town. The maps will cost $240. Prof.
Cummings made a few remarks in
which he stated that the attendance
thus far has greatly exceeded that of
former years, particularly in the Fourth
ward school. While the attendance
was large, he said, a singular feature
was that there were very few boys in
attendance who have been idle on ac-
count Of the coal strike. The question
of procuring coal for the schools was
discussed, but no action was taken. At
present fuel is being obtained from the
usual source, but in limited quantities.
