ing members and the men who were to
take their places with ringing letter
from the President 0 the Board giving
thanks for cooperation the Board of
Education which had served during
the year 191s-1919 yielded to new
board on Monday evening.
The closing session Of the board was
one of excellent feeling and the swan
songs which were sung were devoid of
anything that savored Of rancor. Retir-
ing Committeeman Whitbeck, who had
served for four years as President Of
the Board Commissioners Jacobsen and
Joerndt both of notable service told
the Few members that their real duty
was to work for the children Of Keno
sha and expressed their pleasure in
the work they had been permitted to do.
Commissioner F. D. Obey paid tribute
to the retiring members of the board
and urged the new members to follow
them In showing the necessary interest
in their work to make the work of the
board great benefit for the city and
its children who would be the future
citizens.
There was not a great deal of work
to come before the old board. Coal
bids for the supply for the coming
year were received from dozen COM
panies in Kenosha and Chicago and
they were referred to the special coal
committee to be reported on at the
special meeting to be held next Tues
day evening. The prevailing price APP
peared to be $4.56 ton for the mine
run and $4.86 for the lump coal on
cars in Kenosha with the war tax paid
with dollar for deliveries to the
schools.
The board directed that apparatus
be bought for the play ground work,
appropriated $500 to the fund for milk
lunches. It was shown that this work
is doing much to aid the children to-
ward health and toward being fitted
to better accept the educational adj
vantages.
Outdoor school to take care Of a part
of the children in Lincoln school district

children out at Bond s Woods park on
such days as il is possible to give them
half day work and play in the schools.
