school BOARD MEETING
Board of Education SO Decides
at Meeting.
TEACHERS EXAMINED IN JULY
School Buildings To Be Examined
This Week--Hitch With New
Fire Escape.

The board Of education met in
regular session Monday evening in the
second ward building President
chas. A. Young, presiding. The mem
bers were an present.
Current bills we're paid amounting
to about 500.
The board consumed good deal OF
time in discussing the matter OF the
school bond issue.
1t will be remembered that the
board was unable to sell the $4,000
worth Of school bonds, Voted for at
the last general election, owing to an
alleged defect in the DILL passed at the
last session Of the legislature. This
involved the submitting of the bond
question again to the qualified voters
of the Mar insburg school district,
which the board some time ago hac
partly decided to do at a special cleo
ton to be held this. spring or early
summer.
Inasmueh as the new state law, in
effect June 3, 1908, requires that vot-
tiers must be registered before every
election, regular or special, and that
such special egistration would entail
cost Of at least 5000 to the taxpay-
ers, the board decided to defer the
question of the school bond issue to
the general election next November.
when it will again be submitted to the
people for their action.
The board discussed at some length
the question of teachers examina-
tons Heretofore it has been the rule
to examine the teachers after their ap-
pointment for the succeeding school
term The board decided however,
that this year the teachers shall be
examined before their appointment,
which would seem to be the proper
method. The examinations will likely
take place on July and 3 Il the sec
ond wald school building. The exam
lining board consists of Prof. Geo. w.
Brindle, superintendent of schools;
Prof. W. A. Dreamer, principal II the
high school, and Mr.. w. A. Pitzer, sec
rotary of the board of education.
The board decided to make the an
nual inspection of the school build
ings on Thursday afternoon of this
week, beginning at the fifth ward
building.
A matter that took up good deal
of time for consideration was the fire
escape at the east side of the second
ward school house, recently put up by
T. E. Matthews & Bro this city. One
of the firm was present at the meet
ing and it was pointed out to him
that the escpe had been placed near
the top of the window instead of at
the bottom of 1t, so as to allow easy
exit in case of fire, the intention being
to lower the window to the floor level.
Mr.. Matthews was ordered to make
the change in accordance with the
specifications.
AS told before herein, the Messrs.
Matthews have the contract to rect
metal fire escapes at the various
school houses. So far they have put
up two each at the fourth and fifth
ward buildings and one at the second.
The contract will be filled wnen an
other escape is placed at the latter
building and two at the high school.
The board adjourned at $3.50 p. m,
after session of two and a half
hours duration.

Woman in Church, Playing Organ,

The other day. while sitting in a

deavoring TO keep up the spirits, or
something, of the delegates.
It was a woman's convention. and all
about the church We're little knots o.
delegates, chatting. evidently about
matters which were to come up before
the meeting. Nobody apparently was
paying any attention TO the organist
and probably 1 should not have done

ed only one pedal the whole time she
was playing Evidently II was the only
one her foot could reach conveniently
and II probably didn't occur TO her that
while the tone it sounded might do all
right when she was playing in the key
to which it belonged, she manifestly did
not take into consideration the dis
cord she created by continually press
ing down that same pedal when she
changed chords on the organ.
