WILL-IMANTIC

and L. O. Lineeln was appointed a committee to investigate the matter and report at a future meeting of the board.
 Principal Burr of the state Normal school in Willimantfo requested that the model school be changed from Windham Center to South Windham to secure better transportation facili- ties. If this is done the change may involve some changes in teachers that will settle the South Windham difh- culty. c. c. Case was authorized to confer with Principal Burr with power to make the change If the state would bear the extra expense incurred Changes In textbooks for the Natchaug and high schools were voted. MT. Southwofth was hired as janitor of the Natchaug school building and current bills were ordered paid. This last routine item of business included the bill of $50 of Mrs. Kate Spaulding for visiting schools.
 In making a motion to pay these bills Attorney Kelly stated this item was not voted by him. It was called to his attention after the meeting by L. c. Lincoln, and he. Lawyer kel- ly, who is town counsel as well as a member of the school board, returned and withdrew his vote in favor of the payment of the bill. Town Counsel Kelly stated that it was contrary to the opinion that he had previously giv- en as to the legality of paying g, school visitor a salary and he said he was sustained in his view of the law by Attorney General Light. Lawyer Kel- ly sharply criticised the auditors, George Elliott and H. Dion, for approv ing bill he (Kelly) declared was il- legal and Attorney Kelly said if it was not withdrawn he should oppose its payment by the town treasurer. MT. Elliott thought Mrs. Spauldings bill was just and should be paid. but he said he (Elliott). had no intention of acting contrary to law and suggested that the town at it's annual meeting would undoubtedly vote to compen- sate Mrs. Spaulding for her services as school visitor. This was also the opinion of c. c. Case and Dr. Guild although Lawyer Kelly was non com initial as to what his attitude would be on this matter at a town meeting. Mrs. Spau1ding said she had consulted an able attorney, who said her bill was legal and could be collected un- der the present law.
 After discussing the matter Mrs. Spaulding decided to withdraw the bill until action shall be taken at the an nual town meeting in order not to place Town Counsel Kelly in an am- barrassing position. Members of the school board expressed their disap- proval of l.. c. Lincoln's calling Att torney Kelly's attention to the matter which delayed the payment of a legit- innate bill and one person present at the discussion thought that Town Counsel Kelly was straining at gnat and swallowing a camel

Mrs. Turner said Miss Thomas had re- fused to dismiss her child at the time school was out one afternoon a week so she could attend a dancing school, and that she kept the scholars after school for some time, except in in stances where she, Miss Thomas, had engagements.
