SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
Finds 1t Has No Legal Right to Pay
 Salary to Secretary.

A special meeting of the town school committee was held Friday evening l.. B. Lincoln presided and the fol- lowing members were present: George 5. Elliott, c. c. Page. P. J. Kelley, Curtis Deane, Dr. W. s. P. Keating and Mrs. K. J. Spaulding
 The committee voted not to grant Miss Florence Hunts request for a release from her contract as a teacher in the South Windham school Such action would be contrary, the com mittee thought, to the previous vote not to release teachers except by req other vocation. Miss Hunt had a more lucrative offer to teach in another school.
 The matter of the secretary's sal ary was again discussed. Attorney Kelley gave the opinion concurring with Attorney General Lights view of the law that the secretary as secretary could not receive compensation. By virtue of the office of secretary that member of the school committee is an acting school visitor and in that capacity can charge $2 per day for actual services rendered. The mat ter of paying a member of the school committee for doing the work of secretary could only be taken up at the annual town meeting, if at all
 This makes it impossible for the present secretary of the school com mittee to receive compensation for her work until the annual town meet ing next October if the town should then vote to pay her for her services in that capacity.
 The request of Mrs. McCaIlum of Mansfield Depot to have her son trans ferred from the school there to the Model school in Willimantic was granted if the transfer could be made without expense to the town and c. c. Case was authorized to make the nec- essary arrangements with Principal Burr of the Normal school if the transfer could be made.
