The School Board Holds Long
Drawn out Session During Which
Discussion Occupies the Greater
Part of the Time.

1t took the board of education
three hours to transact business which
should have required thirty minutes.
The session began at s:45 Wednesday
evening and continued until 11:4O, the
greater part of the time being devoted
to an almost aimless discussion of the
legality of the certificates issued to
A. N. Carmine and r. Il. Bolander by
the board of city school examiners.
upon the grades they secured in the
county examination. Toward the close
of the session, Prof. II. A. Hartman
was called upon and he very clearly
defined his position upon the differ
ences which exist among the men,
bers of the school board. He made
II very clear that he did not propose
to mix in their fights and he urged
the school board members to lay
aside personal chickering's and do
something for the schools of the city
and for the welfare of the children
In the schools.
In the end, Mr.. Hartman made his
recommendation of teachers and all
of his recommendation were con-
frmed by the board. w. T. Morgan, of
Athens, Ohio, q graduate of the State
university in Athens and a post-grad-
uate of Harvard, and f.. G. Gegen-
heimer. of Vermilion, Ohio, a gradu-
ate of thes Ohio Wesleyan university
and a teacher in the schools of Ne

High school.
Miss Elizabeth ReXroth. Miss Reba

the grades. The whole board voted
for Miss ReSroth. Miss Anderson, Mrs.
Durr and Mr.. Selanders, but on the
confirmation of Mr.. Carmine and Mr..
Bolander, CUTLERY and Dickerson

The board was very tardy In getting
together and for a time 1t looked as
though there would be no meeting.
Finally when the hands on the town

were cut and the boat was off.
The reading of the communication
from the board of examiners was the
first thing on the program. This

works started. There was q discus
sion for a few minutes and then the
board adopted a resolution endorsing
Upper Sandusky as the. proper loca-
tion for the state normal school for
the northwest district of Ohio.
Prof. II. A. Hartman was selected
to represent the board of education
on the executive committee for the
county teachers institute.
Then il was determined that one
township In Wyandot county might
send pupils to the High school, the
township to pay the tuition of $3.50
per month and the pupils to pay the

Having taken a little breathing
SPELL the board resumed the discus
sion of the report of the board of ex-
aminers- Mr.. Dickerson stated that he
did not believe the certificates issued
to Mr.. Carmine and Mr.. Bolander
were legal; that 1t looked to him like
an attempt to railroad them into the
city schools; that they should have
| waited one week and taken the ex-
animation which will, be held next
Wednesday and Thursday and that
| II the board of examiners'was willing
to grant them a one-year certificate,
1t should be willing to grant a three
year certificate, because they hold a
! three-year certificate on the grades
they secured In the county eXamina-
| ton.
Mr.. Jacoby replied that he con-
siders the certificates legal; that while
| the procedure is out of the ordinary,
there does not exist a parallel condi-
| ton in the whole state and that in
stead of an attempt upon the part
of the school board to railroad them
into the schools, 1t looks like an at
tempt UPON the part of one exam
iner to railroad them out of the
| schools.
| Mr., CUTLERY stated that It was a
bad precedent to establish In the
schools and In the board of exam
iners.
Mr.. Jacoby referred to the errors
which had been made by Mr.. Long
bon In grading the manuscripts of all
