The board appropriated 5000
towards library for the Fairmont
school. The sum of $124.75 also was
appropriated towards the puchase of
a moving picture machine for the
Stowe school.
! It was agreed that night schools
close April II with the exception Of
three classes at the shipyards, two
classes in citizenship at the Lincoln
and one class in mechanical drawing
at Morgan Park.
Supt. Hoke was authorized to Sc
cure a speaker to deliver the COM
mencement address at the Denfeld
high school.
It was voted to secure a teacher
of salesmanship to supervise the
work Of the craftsmanship class at the
Central high school during the time
they take practical work in the
stores. Further than that, it was
decided to hire a teacher for contin-
uation classes to give instruction in
business English, business arithme-
tic, penmanship and other branches,
at the Marshall-We Hardware Co.,
that firm being the first to ask for
practice classes in it's place Of bust
ness. This work comes under the
Smith-Hughes Act, therefore half
of the salaries of these teachers will
be paid by the state.

when Harry J. Steele was employed
at salary of $4,000 year to serve
as director Of night schools.

Supt. Hoke presented about five
pages of a monthly report but there
was nothing startling about it, fur
Their than previously noted. Max A.
Alletzhaeusser was given a warm pat
on the back for the success in stag
ing an exhibition which netted a nice
sum for the fund for free glasses for
pupils needing them but unable to
secure them by private means.

service in the Duluth schools, he held
no teachers meetings at all. Tha..
