THE HOLIDAY
VACATION

The School Board held a regular
meeting Monday. The members pres
ent were President Dr. Harpel. Sec
retary Orth, Directors Pursel, Fischer,
Trumbower. Werkheiser. Burns and
Adams.
The Finance Committee reported
81, 5S4 IS in the hands of the Treasur-
er. On motion the report was accept
ed.
The matter OF moving the trolley
pole from the pavement in front of the
Third Ward school building, which
was referred to the Building and Re-
pair Committee at the last meeting
of the Board, was disposed Of.
w. f. Pascoe, General Super
intendent of the Standard Construc-
ton Company was present by request
of the Building and Repair Commit
tee. Mr.. Fischer, Chairman of the
Committee, stated the case to Mr.. Pas
coe, and informed him what they want
ed done with the pole. The Commit
tee desired that it be moved from it's
present location on the sidewaia out
flush with the curb Mr.. Pascoe said
that he had no objection to moving
the pole. or Of placing it wherever the
School Board should instruct him to
place it. But he thought that it would
be a mistake to move it out flush with
the curb. You will always regret it
if you do, but 1 will put it there if
that is where you want it," he said.
Then Mr. Psscoe suggested doing
away with the pole entirely, and the
placing of bolt in the school build
ing to which the trolley wire could be
fastened. That was objected to on the
grounds tina it might be dangerous to
attach the wire to the building. 1t
was finally decided to instruct Mr.
Pascoe to set the pole out flush with
the curb. as had been first proposed.
Mr.. Werkheiser reported that new
furnace pire had been placed in the
Third Ward building.
Superintendent Gordy was called on
TO explain matter he had under con-
sideration. This was relative to sys-
tematio outline of study in the schools.
There was no complete, uniform line
at the present time, aud il was ex-
tremely necessary that one should be
compiled, and adopted SO that it could
be placed in use at the earliest posi-
BILE moment. 1t should be a course of
study that would be of advantage to
the teachers and understood by the
people. 1t is as important for the
teacher to have a system 10 work un-
der, as it Is for a builder to lave plans
and specifications of the buIlding that
he is erecting. Mr.. Gordy il compil-
lie explained to the Board. lie has
prepared sufficient matter to make n
book of about 40 pages, and before he
is through it may reach 60 pages. he
had made inquiries as TO the cost OF
getting a CERTAIN number OF the books
printed, and asked the Board to take
some action in the matter On motion
it was referred to the Printing Com
mittee, to be reported at the next re-
gular meeting of the Board.
1t was decided to close the schools
on Friday, December % and to reopen
them on January 3, 1905.
The next meeting of the School
Board falling on Monday. December 26,
which will be observed as Christmas,
it was decided to meet Tuesday even
ing, December 27.
