substitution of the American revised YER
sion for the authorized version of the
Bible in scriptural sections which are en-
bodied in the ritual.
A notion to reverse the action Of the
commission and to restore the rending of
the authorized version throughout the
ritual was lost and it was determined to
settle each quotation on its own mer-
its. AS finally adopted the phrase "All
men are conceived and born in SIM is
omitted from the order for the admins
tration of baptism of infants, but the
conference refused to sanction the use of
living as a substitute for the so-called

$36. 1895 and there was an unexpend-
ed balance Of s145.1s. For the years
1867 the board asks for an appro-
priation Of $36,925. Attention is called
to the estimate Of expenses in which a
new item appears, that Of Domestic
Science calling for $1,000. Augusta is
the only city Of any size in Maine that
does not offer such course, and it is felt
that the appropriation would be a wise
one"
1t was voted that the maximum pay
for teachers be increased from 1925 to
$500 and it was voted that the sum of
$37,675 be raised for the support of the
public schools.
The next article OF the warrant pro-
vided for seeing what sum of money
the city would raise for improving and
enlarging the school accommodations
on the west side of the river. Two esti-
mates were read for repairing and re-
modelling the Smith Grammar school,
one at cost Of $4,000 and the other
at a cost of $4,000. The larger esti-
mate provided for rendering the stair
cases fireproof, and after some discus
sion it was voted to expend the $2O,-
900. The motion was also carried to eX-
pend $4,000 for a four room addition
to the Lincoln schoolhouse.
The last matter disposed Of was to
see what action the city would take
with reference to buying the land ad-
jacent to the Williams Grammar
school, or to leasing the same. 1t was
voted that the land be leased for SITS
and that the taxes be paid by the city
On the valuation tina, the city assessors

ing was then adjourned
