 nj Glass atk alsh School,

The board of education held short meeting last evening. There were present Commissioners Larkin, Chap man and Mcdonald, and Mayor Elton presided.
 Had not Q. $. Squires asked for an explanation of the conduct of Miss Finch, principal of the Walsh school, in lining certain boys for breaking glass. in the school, there would not have been anything worth mentioning, transacted. Mir Squires said that one day few weeks ago the glass in Il door was broken in the school and Miss Finch picked out number of boys and fined them nineteen cents each to pay for the damage. She be- lleved these boys were guilty of break ing the glass. Some of them paid un- der threat of expulsion and some of them refused. Meanwhile the principal discovered that the nineteen cents as- sessment would not pay the bill and she clapped on four cents more on each case. Some of them paid and some did not To some of the latter. Miss Finch gave the money, so that they thus became indebted to her.
 The parents of some of the boys re- sented this manner of punishlng them. even admitting they were guilty of breaking the glass. which they denied. however. Mir Squires was one of the Objectors and he asked if the pro- ceeding on the part of Miss Finch was proper.
 This was Jew thing for the board Of education 10 consider The mcm- bers present were perplexed and they called upon Miss Hayden. Superin- tendent Tinker's clerk, for assistance. But she could give none. Inspector Tyrrell tried to help out. He said the glass was broken, hut what the dam- age was he did not know. About four teen boys were assessed. The inspect or did not think the boys were to blame. even allowing that they broke the glass. But he considered Miss Finch was right in finlng the boys as this seemed to be the way of the prin- cipals to treat such matters.
 Mir Squires said that if it was right lie would have his boy pay. On motion of Commissioner Larkin the matter will be held in abeyance until after the return of Superintendent Tinker from Milwaukee, when he will make q report
 There was some discussion about building on to Webster school, but it appears that it will be impossible for 1t is said the committee who pur- chased the needed land bought a q,ar. ry instead of building lots.
