BOARD VOTE ON
ABANDONMENT OF
TEACHERS CLASS
Girls Desiring Training May
Be Given Special Course
of One Year

Action on the recommendation OF
DR.. +. L. Downes, city school super
intendent, to abandon the teachers
training school after this year, will
be taken probably at the next meet
ing of the board of directors.
1t is understood that the directors
will give their approval to discontin-
ing the school, provided plan is ar
ranged and carried out to give n
similar course as POSTGRADUATE work
at the Central High school. This was
suggested when it was found that
the board members were not unani-
nous in their opinion about closing
the training school.
According to the plan suggested
girls who complete their course in
the Central High school and desire
to take a training course of at least
one year, would be given an oppor-
tunity to continue their studies for
that purpose. The present training
school. conducted in the Steele
building, has only fifteen students
enrolled, DR.. Downes reported, and
unless a much larger number would
decide to take the course this fall
he said the expense of conducting
the classes seems too great in COM
parison with the number of teach
ers which are eventually secured by
the city.

Magnelli and Schmehl denied they
had been riding around on the two
horses. that they made any demand
of money from Meyer. and that they
made any statements to Banks and
Schelhas about using horses. Both
admitted accepting the money, but
said they refused 1t a number of
times, and finally took 1t to buy
cigars and coffee as Meyer suggested.
They admitted that they said 1t

He said that If they had accepted
the money and used it to have

no offense as the city would not nav
the expense for this work, and the
officers could not be expected to
do so.
Magnelli had testified that he re-

money and nothing was done about
1t. Mr.. Sucker also called this to
