Superintendent f. E. Downes, in
speaking to the directors, said he
neither asked them to continue the
language nor eliminate it from the
course, but told the members the
pupils were deciding the question
by not selecting German. OF a class
of sixty boys only one decided to
take the subject, he said. 1t was not
decided whether students who began
a German course this year would be
to complete it. Officials of
ish would probably be substituted
as an elective language study.
Directors Keen, Whitman, Baer,
Boyer and Enders voted in favor of
German; and Directors
Bretz, Stamm and Werner in favor
of continuing it and letting the stu
dents decide for themselves.
Directors Keen, Baer, Werner,
Boyer and Whitman were appointed
as a committee to arrange for the
dedication of the new open air school
which is nearing completion. 1t is
likely state and city health officials
and members of local medical So
cieties will be invited to be present
and participate in the exercises.
The board will hold another spe-
for meeting the S3S,000 deficit which
has existed for, years. A bond issue
will be decided upon, or one-half
mill added to the increase in the
tax rate to meet the debt.
President Enders stated that cur
rent expenses next year will make
the city school tax rate eleven and
one-half mills, instead of ten. and
to meet the $4,000 debt. twelve
mills will be fixed as the rate.
4 number of questions about
building work at the open air school
and the new Junior High school will
be considered also on Friday, c.
Howard Lloyd appearing before the
board yesterday to present them.
