street school. This class had been
transferred to the jackson school.
A donation had been received, Mr..
Whittemore reported, from Judge John
Martin, of a number of books, three
book cases, an Office desk, chair and re-
volving book case, as a nucleus for a
library for the manual training hign
school. They had been placed in an
unused room in the school, Judge Mar
in made this gift as a sort Of a token
II the fact that he once lived on the
lite occupied by the manual training
nigh school building. On motion OF
Mr.. Wilson the gift was accepted and
a letter of thanks will be sent to Judge
Martin.
Mr.. Whitternore read a letter from
Nicholas Murray Butler, president Of
Columbia university in New York city,
to the effect that Alfred Moseley, the
English philanthropist, had made ar
engagements to send SOC teachers from
England, Scotland, ireland and Wales,
to this country. between the months OF
November and March, for the purpose
of giving them insight into the opera
lions of the public schools in this coun-
try.
Mr.. Moseley was responsible for the
visit two years ago of the British ed
ucational and labor commissioners 10
this country and some Of the educs-
tional commissioners visited Topeka
and were much interested in the school
system here, so it is likely that many
of the teachers, who viii come to this
country in parties of a dozen or so
will also visit this city. 1ne expenses
of their ocean voyages are to be paid by
Mr.. AIoseley but they will bear their
own expenses while in this country. Mr.
Butler suggested in his letter that a
reception committee be organized here
| in Topeka to receive such of the teach
ers as might come out this way and
provide them with lodging and board at
| nominal figures. It was the sense OF
/ the board that Mr.. Whittemore arrange
/ for the organization of such a cct anti
/ tee.
