 It Is desired by the Committee on History that parents. children and teachers will bear in mind that ths proposed work on City History wiu be divided into three (3) periods of time. The work for this yearyending with the school year next summer-wil, be- gin with the beginnings of things as stated in the outline and embrace the years to 1860.
 The second years work will deal with "the Civil War period" from 1860 to 1875, for the "reconstruction period" will necessarily be included. It will be seen that none of this is in the outline herewith published. While the third years work will begin with 1878 and come down to date. This ex- planation is. deemed necessary in order that energ N>may not be wasted.

WILL BUILD TOWER
Training School For Flrenen in
 the Brooklyn District.

The board of safety met yesterday afternoon and decided to build a drill tower on the lot in the rear of the Brooklyn engine house, at an esti- mated expense of e1,OO0. This sum is left over from last year and in the opinion of the board 1t could not be used to better advantage. According to Chief Snagg's description the tower will be eighty feet high, of skeleton construction, with inside stairways. being in height the same as five story building. Inside there would be vertical ladder running up sheer seventy-two feet. with a forty-two foot ladder on the outside. There will be substantial landings at regular intervals on the stairway the same as in a regular building. The base of. the tower will be about thir- teen feet square, securely fastened to a cement foundation and corner stones. The corner timbers will be 1Ox10 at the bottom, tapering to Sx8 at the top. The tower will be what might be termed training school for firemen. Commissioners Minor and Andrews were appointed as com mittee to carry out the order of the board.
 It was voted to instruct the chief to see that the telephones in the sew eral houses are used for no purpose other than that which per- tains to the business of the depart ment. It has been customary for people to use the phones for urgent calls in cases of accident when physician was needed, and probably this never would have been objected to if a young woman had not got hold

The commissioners would not object to the use of the wire for an urgent call, so they said but 1t appears they didn't think the making of a date between a young woman and her fellow could be classed as anything of an urgent na- ture.
