What resembled pink tea party
was the board of education meet
ing held last night. 1t was the
last session of the old board and

ance were as mild.mannered as a
bright June morning and as jolly
as an old tar who was returning

when the meeting broke up he was
given the hand by his co-workers,
and they all in turn expressed their
regrets that he was not to meet
with them again. Mr.. Blissenbach's
face was wreathed in smiles and he
acted like a man who was just

cellaneous remarks on the subject
in which two or three members of

very graciously withdrew his mo-
ton, and the incident was closed.
Superintendent Sperry stated that
he had conferred with Judge w. L.
