DECIDED TOMORROW NIGHT
TWO EXAMINERS APPOINTED

Are Announced.
Forces on both SIDES of a pressing ques-
tion are at work today to bring about a
decision regarding Asst. Supt. Roscoe
Conklin Bruces recommendation to sep
arate the Armstrong Manual Training
Schools business course from that insti-
tuition and place it under the jurisdiction
Of the NJ Street High School Discussion
Of this recommendation behind closed
doors for two hours previous to the reg
ular meeting Of the board Of education
yesterday afternoon resulted in what ap-
peared to be a deadlock, and a vote on
the subject probably will be taken tomor-
row night when the board assemblies at 8
o'clock at an adjourned meeting in the
Franklin School building.
Supt Davidson probably will recon-
mend that the business courses of the
Armstrong School. now in the Phelps
building, shall be given to the NJ
Street faculty. and that changes shall
be made in one or two instances in the
personnel of the business course. There
is q strong sentiment in some directions
to establish a separate colored business
high school at some future time, and this
probably will make itself felt at the meet
ing tomorrow night.
The meeting yesterday cleared up hun
dreds of recommendations for appoint
ments, transfers and other changes, but
the question of the successor to the late
Isaac Fairbrother In the eighth division
was not touched upon by the board
Two Examiners Appointed.
Harry English and Sarah f. Simons
were appointed to serve as board of eX-
aminers for the white schools, and A. II.
Glenn and Harriet E. Riggs for the col
ored schools. Henry p Blair recommend
ed that permanent policy Of burning all
germ-laden school books be adopted; and
this was carried. A change in the ad-
ministration of schools was effected, in
that the secretary's Office was given over
to the jurisdiction Of the superintendent
of schools. 1t has been directly under the
board of education heretofore. A half
holiday for the pupils of the colored
schools was granted for Tuesday, Sep
tember "a, to observe the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the emancipation proclamation.
DR.. Davidson was given authority to
make any temporary appointments or
routine changes necessary between now
and October /, to meet the situation
which will arise after school opens, and
the new tuition law begins to make itself
felt.
