 Resignations and Leaves. Tho resignation of William Keeble, teacher at the Boys High School
 was accepted but his successor was not elected. Mir. Keebles resigned the position to take a course at the Uni- versity of Chicago where he has been since the schools closed. Leave of absence for one year was granted Miss Agnes Barclay of the
 Sayre stseat School Miss Barclay is
 now in Pembroke, Ky, and is unable to return to Montgomery or account
 of i'll health.
 During the coming winter Miss Rosa Strauss, a teacher at the Cottage. Hill
 School, will study at New York, and for this purpose she was also granted
 a leave of absence covering one year. Marie Miller, negress. who has been teaching at the negro Cemetery Hill School. submitted her resignation and
 1t was accepted.
 None of the vacancies was filled. but steps ar being taken in this direction and 1t is thought that another meet ing of the board will be called soon to supply teachers for all the vacant positions.
 Provision for Overflow.
 An important step taken by the Board, and one that will prove inter esting to several hundred children and their parents, is the fact the over flow at the Sayre Street and Decatur Street Schools will be transferred to the school at Bellinger's Heights. where Tour additional teachers have been aS-i signed. The excess will probably be the largest at the Sayre Street School, where the number turned away may reael 100.
 Last year, 1t will be remembered, a two-stofy residence. corner of Mildred and Sayre Streets, was used as an an- nex to the Sayre Street School, but it was found so inconvenient and unsuit- able for school purposes that the Board decided not to rent the residence again. The pupils. therefore, who were taught at the, annex will have to be trans ferred.
 An interesting feature of the Board meeting was the presentation of sew eral remembrances by President B. J. Baldwin to the members of the Board and Superintendent c. L. Floyd Dr. Baldwin, who has headed the Board since it's organization, spent this sum mer In travels through England and Scotland and, while there, he was thoughtful in securing several hand some walking canes. one of which he gave to each member and the Super intendent. Dr. Baldwin was warmly thanked for his tokens.
 The registration books of the public schools opened last week and already large number of children have had their names entered on the books.
