Oyster to Accept Service.
Another lawsuit made its appearance at
the board meeting yesterday, and Presi-
dent James F. Oyster was delegated to
accept service in the case of Alfred A.
Doolittle against the entire school sys-
tenn. Prof. Doolittle, a teacher in the
high schools. is bringing suit because he
believes himself entitled to promotion
under the school law. Prof. Doolittes
contention is that he passed an exanlina
salaries ranging from $1,000 to 5000 but
was excluded from that class in the
Chancellor regime. He claims that when
he consulted A. T. Stuart, who followed
Supt. Chancellor. there was no vacancy
i'm that group. He now claims that a va
cancy occurred recently, but that he was
informed he must pass another examina-
ton to be eligible. Prof. Doolittle's claim

Seek to Stop Thefts.
Another attempt to protect schools from
marauding pupils will be made by the
board, following a letter received from
Principal Evans of the Armstrong Man
ual Training School
He said that instruments had been
missed form the school and had been
found in the hands of secondhand store
keepers, and asked that the Commission
ers be requested to take some action.
At the police detective bureau it was
said today that several sets of instru
ments had been recovered from second
hand dealers and returned to the schools,
but that the Police Court had refused to
uphold the Commissioners regulation
that all secondhand stuff of that sort be
held in the stores ten days after it's pur-
chase by the dealer.
The Commissioners will be asked to
ameliorate conditions at Garfield School,
where two wells are reported to be in
poor condition.
