Stabler, Sweeney and the Saperinten-
dent. Mr.. Thompson presided.

surely approved by the finance commit
tee, was accepted
Mr.. Harrison from the committee on
school houses and furniture reported
that the repairs in the interior of Pea
body building had been commenced, but
that as the money had been appropriated
so late, about two weeks more time
would elapse before they were completed
the plans for the water closets had not
been furnished, and that the committee
would report progress in reference to the
fire escapes some repair work had also
been done at the other buildings.
The committee on studies and dis
cipline submitted the following report
which was adopted; viz
The committee on studies and dis
cipline report the following resolution as
covering the application of agents for
the adoption of Colaw and Ellwood' S
arithmetics in the Alexandria schools /;
Resolved, that as this board has in
yited the school boards of the State TO
unite in a plan to avoid frequent changes
in school books, it will make no change
in books, unless required to do so by
the State board; but in view of the
merits of Colaw and EllwoOds arithme-
tics. it asks the State board, in case 1t
shall determine to make any change in
books, to adopt those arithmetlcs on
such terms as will be least burdensome
to the pupils and their parents.
Several bills for repairs and supplies
were ordered to be paid The superin-
tendent reported that the school permits
were being issued in accordance with
the instructions of the board, but that
ne could not state the number of assign
ments till he had received the re-
ports from the several principals.
An application from three OF the
teachers, asking for an increase in their
salaries, inasmuch as they had com
pIeted the examinations for the three
years professional course, was received
and referred to the finance committee.
A petition from sundry patrons OF the
school asking the board to reconsider Its
action and have the lavatories placed in
Peabody building instead of in the yard
was referred to the committee on school
houses and furniture.
Just as the board was about to adj
iourn the matter of the lavatories at
Peabody building was informally dis
cussed and questions were asked why
the work as ordered by the board had
not been done. After an interchange OF
views it was decided that as the matter
was in the hands Of committee, no
further action was necessary.
