motion they were ordered paid.
Clerk Coyner moved that the SUI
perintendent be instructed to pur-
chase test cards, for the purpose OF
testing the sight of each student in
the various schools throughout the city
and that one card be secured for each
building and that the superintendent
also be allowed to secure postal cards
by which the parents can be notified
of the defect of the pupils vision. The
motion carried.
This was only one Of the various
matters discussed relative to an exam
ination of every student in the schools
If the idea of the board Is carried out,
each student will undergo thorough
physical examination, made by ply
sician. This has been adopted by
many schools in the larger cities and
is strongly favored in Mt. Vernon.
On motion, 1t was decided that all
teachers of the public schools of the
city, who attended the meeting of
the Central Ohio Teachers Associa-
tion at Dayton, several days ago, re-
ceive their regular salary for the time
they were absent from the city,
but that the teachers who did not go,
receive no compensation for the time
which was missed during the conyen.
ton. This was topic of great deal
of consideration, but the above plan
was finally decided upon.
After a number of minor important
matters had been transacted, the meet.
ing was adjourned.

The Board OF Education So
Decides At A Meeting
The Price Of Gas For School
Buildings Increased
Other Important Matters
Transacted By The Board

The board of education of Mt. Ver-
non met in regular session Tuesday
evening at the office of Clerk Coyner.
The meeting was called to order with
President G. N. Lorey in the chair. The
minutes of the last regular meeting
were read and approved as read.
DR.. G.. d. Arndt of the supply COM
mittee reported that orders had been
issued for all supplies needed during
the past month and that all of the
work required of that committee had
been disposed of to date.
A communication was read from Mr..
Upham of the Upham Gas Co. stating
that the price of gas would be raised
to fifteen cents per thousand in the
near future. This caused discus
cussion on the question of fuel The
matter of gas or coal was not settled,
but as the condition of things now
stands, something will probably be
done in short time.
A petition from the First Ward
Mothers Club, asking the board for
piano so that music might be fur
nished at the meeting of that club dur
ing the early part of December, was
read by Clerk Coyner. On motion, the
request of the club was granted.
A petition signed by the entire Sen
ior class of the Mt. Vernon High
school, excepting one, was read to
the board. In this petition, the mem
bers asked that they might not be re-
quired to write an essay or deliver an
Grafton at the close of the school year,
for reasons which were specified in
the petition, and that they might be
permitted to give class play instead
of the essays or orations, which the
board had decided upon at previous
meeting.
In regard to this petition, DR.. Arndt
moved that the students be allowed to
prepare their essays or orations and
deliver them some time during the
present school year; but deliver them
before the student body of the High
School at the chapel exercises, which
are some times held in the morning
before the regular school work begins,
but that the students be relieved of
the essay or Grafton work providing
that they take part in the annual de-
bates, either preliminary or final. DR..
Arndt, in his motion, also provided
that the superintendent and the facul-
ty determine the length of the var
ious essays and orations and that they
be given in the place of the many
themes and other English work which
is done during the year. The motion
prevailed.
The motion further asked that the
Senior class be permitted to give the
Senior play instead of the orations
and essays but as they must be given
In some form some time, the board
did not give the play proposition very
serious thought, but decided to leave
the matter open and if the class chose
to give the play, no restriction would
be made by the board.
At this point, the bills were exam
