TEACHERS WERE
REAPP0INTED
Board of Education Unani-
nous on Selection Of In
structors and Janitors
WAS MEETING IN THE DARK
sneclal to The Evenlng Journal.

Education was ueldyeu some tine last
night on account of the want of gas
There was not enough light to see what
business wds on hand, and oil lamps
had to be procured before the session
was opened.
Many members Of the board were In
hurry to get home, so that there was
considerable. dissatisfaction experienced
respecting the shortcomings Of the gas
supply.
After lights had been secured the
minutes OF the last meeting were read
and approved.
The committee on teachers had no
report to make
The committee on text books reported
some bills and also that all the meas
ures had not been received so that the
bill for these appliances was held over.
The committee on school property re-
ported that A. M. Hizer submitted
bid to renew the old chimney in NO.
School for s95 and remove all rub
bish. Mr.. Mahoney thought the esti-
mate a very fair one. other members
of the board thought the work should
be done at an early date. 1t was the
consensus of opinion that a single nue
was sufficient. 1t was suggested that
]
to supply additional heat.
After considerable discussion on Mr..
Hizer's bid the board referred the ques-
ton back to the committee for an adj
dltional bid on the work of straighten-
ing the wall.
1t was the desire Of the board that
all painting bids be in by July so that
the work be done during that month.
This painting is of the building and
not the fixtures.
Mr.. Maloney reported that the fire
plug was connected for flushing the
sewer but had not been tested yet.
The matter of repairs to No. 3
School was referred to the cowmittee
on school property
Visiting committee reported progress.
The schools will close on June "a.
Professor Holloway suggested plan
for one session for the remainder Of
the term.
Mr.. Phillips and Mr.. Clewell thought
it would be well to let the present hours
continue. while Mr.. Mahoney suggest
ed a change for two weeks. Mr.. Ella
son thought that the children did just
as good work during one session as
during the whole day.
Professor Holloway said the proposed
change would not cut off any time, but
apply it to a little better advantage if
the weather were hot, thus avoiding
part of the hot hours in the afternoon.
1t was suggested that s o'clock was
somewhat too early for many Of the
children to get ready.
Mr.. Maloney thought s o'clock was
too early for the children to be out
Mr.. Clewell said let them go to bed
early and not run the streets until 1C
o'clock at night.
Mr. Carrick said he had been button
holed and almost blackguarded on the
street because there had been one ses-
sion.
Mr.. Clewell wanted to know who was
/ to be pleased. He thought the best
way TO do was to change the hours
every day for the next three weeks
mo matter what is done il will not
b meet with the approval of all patrons
. of the school," he said.
1.-The weather ought to be hot now
II It is not the board is not to blame.
Mr.. Eliason favored from to y fol
all grades and a session of one houi
and a half In the afternoon.
He also suggested that the board fi'
, the hours and thus relieve all censur'
which might otherwise fall on the prin
, cipal.
Mr. Frazer moved that the plan sug
gested by Mr.. Eliason be adopted. Th'
motion carried.
The primary departments will get re
cess at 10 and one at II. The othe
grades will get recess at 1890.
