same purpose as the rest room on
Hickory street. While nothing of
this kind has been tried here be-
fore, it has been a success at other
fairs. The managers have gladly
allowed free space for the rest cot
tage, believing that it will add to
the comfort of the patrons OF the
fair. The room will be equipped
with touches, chairs, tables, reading
matter and other comforts.

The board OF education held a
special meeting last evening. All
the members were present, except w.
E. Stewart, who was out OF the vii
lage. Many minor matters in con-
Of h,u
were acted upon. Principal b.
Zieske reported the enrolment was
$40 and when number of delin-
quent children return to school the
rooms will be comfortably filled eX-
cept the primary grade, which is
overcrOWded. This condition will be
relieved after the holidays when
promotions will be made. The plan
of dismissing the beginners part Of
the day was approved by the board.
1t seems the only solution as it
does not appear necessary to en-
gage an additional teacher and room
for so short a time. 1t was voted
to compensate the primary teacher
for the additional work thrust upon
her by an increase Of her salary Of
$40 per month for the four months.
F. M. Phelps was allowed the
amount of his contract for repairs
and improvements to building. The
matter of providing the school with
village water and drinking fountains
was referred to ID. DonahOe, who is
member of the council, to secure
terms and to report on same at the
next regular meeting. The purchas-
ing of globes for the upper rooms
was referred for further information
until the next meeting of the board.
The question was raised whether or
not to consider any other exuse
for non-attendance of school other
than those mentioned in the law.
After rereading the copy of the law
and some discussion it was clear
that the board could grant no excuse
except on the condition stipulated
in the law.
