The regular monthly meeting OF
the City School Board was held last
night. There were present: Chairman
Bradshaw and Messrs. Kirk, Erwin,
Myers, Cox, Moore, Pierce, Howard,
Monroe, Nicklin, Hammond, Thomp.
son, and Superintendent Sweeney.
1t was decided TO hold continuous
sessions of the schools on the 24th
and Both instant in order to allow
teachers and scholars opportunities
to partipate in the Memorial and De-
coration Day ceremonies.
The reports Of the various COM
mittees were submitted and adopted,
and subsequently communication
was read from fourteen residents oil
the neighborhood of Lee school build
ing protesting against the use by
the Parents-T Teachers Association OF
the grounds surrounding the building
for a public play ground. The COM
munication stated that there
were sick people in the neighborhood
to whom the noise incidental! to the
assembling of young people was es-
pecially disagreeable. Accompany
ing the communication was request
from city physician that quietness
be urged in the vicinity in the IN
terest of his patients.
The ground at Washington Schooi
building have been used as public
playground for some time, ana ias'
fall the Parents Teachers Association
petitioned the school board TO aito"
the children Of the city TO use the
grounds at Lee school building, and
their request was granted.
The. was some interchange OF
opinion as to the cxpediency CT ALLOW
ing public gatherings on The grounds
of the later school, although the ma
ioritv of the members saw no goot
reason why the permission should MOI
be perpetuatcd. 1t was suggested tha'
the new school building at Cameron
and West streets will have been con
structed by this tine next year, wher
a large area will be az disposal oil th(
scholars and in The meantime the as
ISOLATION might use the grounds at
the Washington school and not have
gatherings at Lee School. This, how
ever. did not meet with the views oi
the majority, ami the communications
was simply received, no further &C
ton being taken in the matter.
Messrs, Cox, Erwin and Myers were
appointed a committee or teachers.
AS has been the custom recently
the committee will report the name:
of those who desire TO become teach
ers in the public schools.
Several! members suggested That
everything possible should be done
towards accelerating the construction
of the new high school. The lease OF
rooms in The Peabody Building vii:
expire before the beginning Of The
next schoo! year, and should the new
structure be ready for occupation ny
the middle Of September further rent
would be saved. while the enlarged
facilities given the board Wou!c
, be great.
Messrs. Pierce Monroe, Hammond
and Thompson were appointed a
