CENTRAL FALLS
SCHOOL BOARD
HOLDS MEETING

The school committee held a brief meet
office.
Mr. Washburn OF the committee on
property reported that since the last
meeting there had been some trouble
with the heating apparatus OF the West
Side grammar school on account of there
not being sufficient heat TO prevent the
freezing OF the pipes In the lavatories.
This trouble has been overcome by the
purchase of a gas radiator which will
meet the requirements, temporarily at
least.
The monthly report OF the superinten-
dent was read and ordered filed. In part
IL was as follows:
THE attendance at all the evening
schools is very good and much inerest
is manifested In the work by pupils and
teachers. The best attendance for the
past month was at the Garfield street
building, which averaged 80, with an EN-
rollment of Ill. / believe that the at
tendance and the interest shown by the
pupils warrant the usual extension of
the term to IS evenings, and ! recon-
mend that action TO that effect be taken
by you at this meeting"
The recommendation that the term of
the evening schools be extended TO 70
evenings, was adopted by the committee
In reply to a question as 10 what effect
the new law in regard TO the attendance
of children at the schools vas going TO
have in the schools Of this city, the
superintendent said that so far as has
been noticed. there is practically no
change from former conditions. He
said that there seems TO be a good deal
Of misunderstanding regarding the In
depreciation OF the new law. He had at
tended a meeting of the Rhode Island
Association OF School Superintendents
recently, and, among other matters which
came up for discussion, was that In
regard to the new law. The consensus
OF opinion as expressed by those who
were present at the meeting, was that
IL was not intended that the provisions
should affect those children who had
already been granted a work certificate,
but would rather apply TO others who
should make application in the future.
1t was also the opinion that this matter
should he dealt with more particularly
by the factory inspector, rather than by
the truant officer. He said that prac-
tically the same plans are being fol-
lowed here as those In force in the city
of Providence.
The matter OF the recommendation
which should be made to the joint stand
ing committee on finance of the city
council. as to the amount necessary to
be set aside by the city council for
the support of the public schools for the
ensuing year was brought UP for con-
sideraton.
1t was voted TO instruct the clerk 10
notify the joint standing committee on
france of the city council that the
committee recommended the appropria-
tion of $4,000 for the support of the
schools.
The monthly report of the truant offi-
Ger was read and ordered filed and
! similar disposition was made of the appli-
| cation OF Miss Annie @. Martin. for a
| position as teacher in either of the three
| lower grades.
