Phillip Brooks, Preaching.

James t. Wilson was a retired tea
merchant. For years he had been a
deyout listener to Phillip Brooks SER
mons. One Easter, after the services,
Mr.. Wilson sought the great preacher.
Mr.. Brooks seemed to read the thought
that was disturbing the mind of his old
friend, and said:
Mr.. Wilson, is it not about time
you came in among us? The Protestant
Episcopal church has need of such men
as you"
"Mr. Brooks replied the retired
tea merchant, would the Protestant
Episcopal church receive me on my
acceptance Of your preaching alone %
The massive, illumined countenance
frightened in deepest thought, then a
kindly, somewhat saddened, smile re-
Taxed it as he answered: "Mr. WILL
son, | am afraid the Episcopal body
would not accept you on my preach

Board Of Education Breaks Rec.
ords by Holding the Shortest
Session Of the Year
ADOPT PLANS FOR SCHOOL
Work of Repairing the Building as
Proposed by Committee Approved
by Board-May Erect a New Bu;ad-
ing on the West Side

The board Of education held the
shortest session in it's history last
night when the work Of the regular
session was omp1eted in less than
half an hour. The board got togeth~1
just after quarter past O'Clock and
IN just half an hour the lights had
6een turned out and the commission
ers had gone home.
The work of arranging for the
opening of the new school year had
been so cleaned up at the special meet
lug of week ago that there was
little for the board to do. The repo1 /
Of the committee that had been APP
| pointed to look into the repairing of
the Central school was adopted and
the committee was empowered to
do the work. It is probable that the
work will be done by day labor under
the direction of the different members
OF the committee as it is thought that
It would not be worth while to hire a
contractor for so small piece Of work.
The plans for re-ar-anging the
building will in no way inter cete with
the plans for an addition to it and it is
possible that this plan will be taken
up again next year.
The board is in hard place. The
members feel that the amount Of
money to be spent for schools is
limited and yet they are confronted
by the fact that 5000 children are
staring them IN the face and demand
ing school privileges. For this rea-
son it may be necessary to make an
added strain on the finances bf the
city. However, the board hopes if
possible to be able to get along with
$31, 1000 this year and that it will be
possible for them to withdraw the de-
mand made for SIS, 200 for new
school building.
The plan for new school on the
west side was discussed at the meet
ing last night and special committee
consisting of Commissioners Cava-
nagh and Fisher and Clerk Guardio1a
are now looking up the title to site
on the west side that has been offered
for school building. If this site can
be secured with clear title it is pos
sible that the board will decide &c be-
gin work on the building this fall. No
effort would be made to complete the
building before the opening Of school
in the fall of 1896, and this would
give the board plenty of time.
Architects are now busy on plans
for such school but the board will
not act unless it finds that more room
must be secured to take care of the
children. The building projected
would be six room structure costing
in the neighborhood of 5000.
