architect OF st. Louis, missouri, who
is preparing the plans and speciflca-
lions for the manual training, do
nestle science departments and the
chemical laboratory. and he said that
he would hurry the plans and speci-
fcations to completion in accordance
with the boards wishes, and draw
the specifications with q view to as
wide an arrangement in competition
as is possible.
There was also a communication
from Mr.. Webster, through whom
the board purchased the lockers for
the High school and he stated that
he was now in the employ of another
| concern, but would endeavor to get
to Virginia as soon as he could get
away, to investigate the situation.
The clerk also read reply to Mr..
Webster's letter in which he stated
that the board was DESTROYS of the
lockers being removed from the
building, as they were in the way.
There were several requests for
the job Of hauling the pupils to the
various schools from the outlying
districts and the question was dis
cussed quite thoroughly by the
board. It seemed to be the sense of
the board that great care be used
in employing persons to haul the
pupils from the outlying districts;
to be sure that such persons were
employed who would not use pro-
fame language, and who would be
careful in crossing the various rail-
road tracks, and who could be re-
lied upon to be sober and courteous.
After this discussion the chairman
entertained the following motion:
Moved by c. e. Hendrick, seconded
by r. J. McGhee, that Mitchell Stew
art, J. H. Fleming and Lafayette
Bliss be committee to Investigate
the matter of the transportation of
pupils with power to make such ar
rangements with those whom they
deem proper.
Carried.
The clerk also stated that the
plans and specifications for the new
Homestead school were completed
and examined and several parties
had received them and were hgur-
ing on them, the notice having been
published that bids would be opened
September 2, 1912.
Upon a motion duly made and
seconded the board adjourned at
