SOME TEACHERS TO
WORK In NEW SCHOOL

The Board of Education last night
decided the question of how the chill
dren living in the proximity of the
new Evan G. Shortlidge School. at
Boulevard and Concord avenue. will
be apportioned among the schools.
The matter was brought up by Frank
r. Zebley, Of the Sixth ward. who
said there seemed to be a misunder-
standing concerning where the chill
dren are TO go.
DR.. T. o. Cooper, chairman Of the
teachers committee, informed the
board that Dr. Twitmyer had. made
out a list of children from Schools No.
2, II and %, who will be transferred
to the new school They will report
at the schools they have been attend
ing when the names will be read out.
and they will then proceed TO the new
school.
Mr.. Zebley. who is chairman of the
new building committee, thought the
new school should be open for public
inspection. II was decided to leave
the matter in the hands of his com
mittee. Following the meeting the
committee decided to open the school
for public inspection on Saturday and
Sunday next, including Saturday night,
when the school will be lighted
Throughout.
On motion of Thomas F. O'Donnen
the board decided TO turn over to
the Rev. William Temple pastor Of
the St. Elizabeth Church discarded
school desks but following the pas
sage of the motion Mr. Zebley OFFER
ed objections contending that the
desks should not be given away until
II was certain they could no longer
be used by the board. He added that
/ he believed the new building commit
/ tee had jurisdiction in the matter in
any event and not the repair commit
/ tee 10 which Mr. O'Donnell who is
chairman of the repair committee,
objected, stating that the new build
/ ing committee had nothing what
ever 10 do with IT,
President Baynard settled the diff
ficulty by suggesting that the matter
could best be arranged by both COM
mittees, Mr.. O'Donnell agreed to this
proposition.
The following report was read from
the teachers committee and adopted /:
