BOARD or EDUCATION.
Money Deficiencies will Be Reported
 to Board of Finance.

The board Of education held its last but one meeting last evening. and as usual under the circumstances only with difficulty was quorum obtained. Commissioner Kent presided. Super intendent Tinker informed the board that Miss Margaret Ennis Of this city has graduated from the New Britain Normal school and he had placed her on the list of waiting teachers A number of applications for the ap- pointment to the new offices, school medical inspectors. were received, some from out of town. Herman W Williams applied for position as drawing teacher. All the applications were placed on file. The annual re- port will be ready in a few weeks.
 Deficiencies in the various appropris ations were announced. amounting to $2979. It was voted to transmit the list of deficiencies to the board Of fi- nance with the request that money be raised to i'll them
 It was also voted that the board shall do all in it's power to assist the board of agents Of the Bronson library to get an annual appropriation Of $1.- 300. Steps in this direction have al. ready been taken.
 Regarding the rule regulating the duty of the medical inspectors, 1t was voted that while in the main the ir- spectors shall conf1ne themselves to the city schools. whenever the district schools shall call upon them for advice 1t shall be given, provided the school superintendent approves. This. was inserted in the rule and the whole then adopted.
 Superintendent Tinker read a report as to how the pupils of the Elm street school are being accommodated in the Crosby school without interference to the regular schedule of that school. The report met with the approval of the board and Chairman Kent took 0c. casion to express the thanks Of the board to Superintendent Tinker for. solving this difficulty. The change. great as it was. was made without anyone feeling it. or being disturbed in the slightest manner. Not pupils rights has been encroached upon.
 On account of this excellent move on the part of the superintendent the city has been saved. for the time be ing at all events. $4.0O0 At the last meeting of the board it was voted to ask for an appropriation of $4,0Q0 to finish two or three or four rooIns in the Driggs school ip order to provide accommodations for pupils from other schools, whom. it was expected. would have to go to Driggs on account of the closing of the Elm street school. Last evening 1t was votedh to reecind this vote. Thus the city Is ''inv $a.000.
 The bills and pay rolls were then ap! proved, notwithstanding the depart ment of education has scarcely a pen- ny with which to pay them, and the board thereupon adjourned.

THE exchange of Easter gifts has
come to be such a source Of profit
i to merchants that one may pur-
chase almost any article desired espe-
cially adapted to Easter use. The liIy
and the butterfly are especial symbols
OF Easter, although any flowers peculiar
TO spring are also typical Of the season.
Any pretty or useful article Is suit
able FOR an Easter gift. Ornate prayer
books. handsome prayer book markers,
Easter cards, booklets and flowers have
been stock souvenirs for years past.
NOW almost any pretty article accom-
panied by an Easter card or Easter
compliments is quite suitable.
Among the ready made souvenirs the
useful penwiper is always prominent,
Penwipers cost little and may be easily
adapted to all sorts Of shapes, odd and
apt. For instance, several pieces OF
flannel. green and white alternating. are
sewed together at one side and adorned
with an empty eggshell painted to rep
resent a Humpty Dunpty; or the orna-
mental shell may have q tiny chick
seemingly Just picking it's way out of its
little house. Rabbits in a woven straw
nest are OFTEN used for the penwiper
cover. The rabbits may be DO Ight at
any toy shop and, made Of plaster, they
are often very quaint and lifelike.
Eggs filled with pink cotton, with a
Tiny doll wearing a picturesque wide
trimmed bonnet, just peeping out Of the
make quaint decorative con-
ceits. II several Of the tiny black dolls
can be obtained and disposed amonc the

EASTER SEASON.


folds CT the cotton, the effect Is even
more odd. The eggshells may be OBJ
tanned in perfect condition IL a small
hole Is made in each end of the shell
with a pin and the contents carefully
blown out.
Embroidered d%oilies, teacloths, table
centers and tray cloths are always ac-
ceptable gifts for women. This season
embroidered linen seems to have a
greater vogue than ever. The Easter
pieces are commonly adorned with some
springlike patterns, such as sprays Of
violets, ~daffodils, lilies Of the valley,
anemones, crocuses or similar flowers.
such designs may be had at any shop
where embroidery patterns are sold.
Leather and burned woodwork are so
popular that the woman who under
STANDS the art is fortunate, for, with q
rev hours application, she can produce
membranes for her friends which
would cost her many dollars IL bought
IN the open market. Charming boxes
with lids n side panels ornamented
with q lily pattern in burned wood are
fHncng the most admired specimens on
the work now shown in the shops.
Handkerchief, stationery, collar and
cuff, stamp and veil boxes may be
made on this plan. Picture frames COW
cred with burned leather are seen in
the shops and nave great apparent pop
ularity. Flower patterns, modified for
ornamental use, are the designs repre-
scented.
The pincushion, aver old, ever new,
has been an unfailine friend to the wo-
