put the schools forward into hot
weather in June. Supt. Patten pointed
session for three days the latter part
Of the term owing to the hot weather.
He believed that it would be better 70
finish the school year as quickly as
possible. and although the building has
been promised for the first Of Febru-
airy. it was thought better to follow
this suggestion.
The schools, therefore, will open
Monday Sept. IL. which is election day.
Schools will open on this date in all Of
the buildings hat are In use as polling
places. In these latter places which
includes Myrtle street, the North
Grammar, Brooks street, Western ave-
nue. and Grove street, the schools will
begin Tuesday. the following day. The
fal! term will close December Is with
a vacation over Christmas. the winter
term beginning January / will end one
week before Easter, aud there will be
ter Sunday. School will begin the
Monday following Easter and will end
on June 8. The following janitors were
elected: High school, John Campbell;

Tunnel; Brooks street. King CULVER;
North Grammar, Augustus Vigue Jr.:
Western avenue and Redington street
com bined. Hugh Travers; Grove street,
Joseph Perry; South Grammar, E. j.
Lambert. The only change is in COM
bining the work of the Western avenue
and Redington street schools, which
are not far apart.
There was some talk at the meeting
of the board OF reducing the salaries
Of the janitors. but after elaboration
it was found that percentage reduc-
ton would reduce the salary of the
lower paid jan'tors to such a figure
that 1t would not be a living wage.
Consequently the janitors will be paid
the same amount as last year. varying
from $50 a week for the high school
building to SIS week for the smaller
buildings.
Miss Bernadette Raymond was re-
elected clerk 20 the superintendent of
schools. One Of the matters discussed
was the employment Of a physical d.
rector in the schools. 1t was found
that the State contributes half of the
salary of such cn instructor under GER
tair prescribed conditions. but owing
to the fact that there exists no place
in this years budget for an additional
instructor Of this kind no action was
taken. One of the matters which will
come up later ter consideration will be
the services of the various church YES
tries which will be used as school
buildings during the erection Of the
new junior high school, AS this is a
matter for thu future, no action was
taken in this Gunnection.
