the proceedings of the last monthly in
stitute. held Saturday. ana the names
of the teachers not IN attendance.
|, There were eight oc these latter and
| among them Il teacher whose father
died the day Of the institute.
Mr. Roche wanted to have her name
| omitted from the list to De docked.
This brought forth protests from the
teachers committee against establish
ing bad precedents, and upsetting
rules. II was told that one Of the 9TH
er seven absentees was in the hospital:
another broke her arm ON the way to
the institute; another was sick, and
had been for weeks. Ii excuses were
accepted. the board would have no end
Of trouble, it was claimed. The only
way to do was to pay Il bonus OF one
days pay to such teachers as attend
the institute. ana make no exceptions
for any reason in III" case of absentees.
The board agreed to this by Il vote Of
II to G.
A communication was received from
District Solicitor David ]. Reedy,
transmitting decisions on raft Of
questions propounded to him regarding
tax generations. He decided among
other things that the old Home for the
Friendless property on Adams avenue,
could not be exempted from taxes since
1t,I 40 Jif ~ hi
purposes. On motion of Mr. Shres the
board decided TO refuse to grant exon
erations in conformity with Solicitor

james ". Fuller. of the High school,
who has secured Il more desirable posi-
tion in New York. and Miss Teresa
Smith. of Intermediate A grade in No.

ferred to committee. Miss Doyle, who

O'Malley. Mr.. Schwass and Mr.. Barker,
was appointed to cooperate with the
bureau OF health and the I.ackawanna
County Medical society in attending to
the matter of vaccinations.
Henry O'Malley called attention to
the fact that the papers had reported
Rev. f. S. Ballentine as having said he
had been refused the use of the High

ture, while Rev. James Hughes. d. d.,
late of kimbe rly. South Africa, had
been granted its use for II Dro-3 British
lecture.
Mr.. Jennings explained that the inn
preston given out by Mr.. Ballentine
was all wrong. Prof. Joslin could not
grant the use of the hall No one could
do that except the board. and neither

board for its use
