The following report from Superin- l tendent Tinker was received and ac- cepted:
 Waterbury. Conn, May 4, 1903. To the Board of Education: l Gentlemen:-I have canvassed the l situation on Washington Hill as care- l fully as possible and find that in Sep tember 1t will be necessary to open on I ly three (3) rooms at the Mulcaihy
 school, the addition to St Mary's school l having, to some extent, relieved the congestion in this section. ! It is possible that this number may be increased to four (4, but this does ] not seem probable at present. Irias- much as this is the case, I would re- commend that the assignment of three
 teachers to the Mulcahy school be au- ! tllorized. On account of the small I number of rooms, I would ask the I board to consider the advisability Of
 not authorizing the appointment of 8
 principal until a larger number of
 rooms should be occupied in this build
 ing. Respectfully,
 B. W. TINKER. I Dr s. B. Mum, president of the 1 Connecticut Anti-v vaccination league, and Secretary Anderson were present ] at the meeting and requested the board that some children who had not
 been yaccinaaed be allowed to return to school. Dr Goodenough said that the board had no option in the matter. the whole power was vested in the board of health which had adopted the l rule in question. Dr Mum said a few I things about vaccination. about Linds- ley & Go of New Haven and he was
 helped out by Secretary Anderson. But it was of no avail as the board
 had no power in the matter.
