NEW CASTLE, Del, April 2s.-Ine
storm last evening prevented several
members from attending the meeting OF
the Board of Education. II was nearly
Q o'clock when the meeting convened
Considerable business was transacted at
the session, the most important being
the question as to whether the board J
should contribute money towards the
Hirh School Athletic Association, which
had been organized without the knowl |
edo, OF Professor c. II. Dye, supern- /
feilont of the schools. The matter
came up when Edward Naylor, president
of the association, accompanied by al
delegation from the school, stated that
the school desired TO be represented at
the coming meet OH Frazier Field. Della

represented it was explained that suits
for the relay team would have to he,
purchased and the boys said they had
raised Sl6 for the purpose at bake on
last Saturday. They asked the board
Tor contribution TO enable them To-
take part in the meet.
MIR. MaulOVe suggested that action bel
deferred until full membership OF the
hoard could consider the matter Other
members said Professor Dye should have
been consulted before the athletir asso-
ciation was formed. Professor Dye said
the boys appeared TO think tAat such an
organization was distinct trcm the
school, and he had not been approached
on the matter Mayor Rodney explained
that when he attended Delaware College
the athletic associations were distinct IN
that the faculty had nothing to do with
the organization, and he did not think
it was right for the faculty to pass on
the personnel of the club except in bar
ring those who failed in their studies
from participating. Mayor Rodney then
made a motion to donate 50 TO the asso-
citation, and 4. y. Goudiss seconded the
motion The motion prevailed. The
question of purchasing coal for the three
schools on contract was discussed, and It
was decided to have the school proper
ties committee ask for bids for supply
ing 20 tons of coal.
The monthly payroll of teachers was
ordered paid and the board directed the
secretary to notify City Council that
$4,000 would be needed. The money IN
hand. according to the finance commit
tee, amounted to S2,sS7.35.
