 Rcsignat.on Accepted.
 The resignation of Miss Nellie keena, principal of the elementary grades at the Kensington school, was accepted with regrets. Miss Keena is the penmansEip teacher whose work has been praised by the Palmer method of writing.
 Win Transfer Pupils.
 A resolution was passed calling for the transferring of the upper grade pupils from the South school to the Worthington school the beginning of the fall sessions.
 This is in line with the former policy of the school Fommittee for good many years. The supper grade children formerly attended the Worth ington school until the number of pupils at the South school became so small that the children were sent back again.
 At present there are two teachers at the school with only 3S pupils en- rOlle0. u IS CldlH1eu that the W OTtT- ington school can care tor the upper grade children of the South school with the same number of teachers now employed and in this way it is possible to reduce the number of teachers by one.
 Saving to Town.
 This is a saving to the town as il eliminates the salary of one teacher for year as well as the extra eX- pense which is incurred in the main tenance of an extra room at the South school.
