 were present. Superintendent Tink- CT reported that 1t was necessary to open another room in the Mulcahy school and the principal, Miss Jennie .lONeill, Is entitled to. an increase of salary of S25.

 There was good deal Of discus sion about increasing the salary Of Janitor Kelly of the Crosby high school. It was stated that he receives $l night on account of some even ing school classes being held in the Crosby, but 1t was also stated that two additional rooms have of late been opened there. His present sal ary is $930 a year and he is allowed the services of an assistant. This, in itself, was considered good deal. Chairman Mcdonald stated 1t as his opinion that the janitor of the high school is an institution in himself, and that the high school was never considered on the plane of the other schools when the salary schedule was adopted. The matter was deferred. Superintendent Tinker made the following report relative to the even- ing schools:
 l would report that the attendance at the evening school numbers at present S31 pupils. Principal Con- don of the Duggan scaool reports tha. his attendance is steadily increas- ing and 1t is hoped that the young women may be more largely repre- sented in that school.
 The attendance in the higher classes in the Croft and high school is very much large: than thEt of tre- vious years, while the lower grade classes are smaller than usual, prob- ably on account of the small emigra- tion into the city during the present year It Is especially gratifying to note that the class in sewing, which \ was opened last year, numbers AS E and is increasing nightly.
