An extended leave of absence was
granted Superintendent of Schools 5.
z. Shull at the meeting of the Board
of Education last night in order that
he may recover from an illness that
has necessitated delicate operation
being performed in order that he
may regain his health. The pera-
tion will be performed by Dr..
O'Crowley in the Newark Memorial
Hospital at which institution Mr..
Shuu is now undergoing treatment
prior to the operation.
Nutrition work in the school was
again taken up and resulted in a
lengthy discussion. Mrs. Elizabeth
Oliver, reported that Miss Packard
of the Anti Tuberculosis League was
going to take a class of twenty of the
worst cases discovered, these schol-
ars being from twenty to twenty-five
per cent, under weight. Mrs. Oliver
pointed out that the work cannot
be carried on properly without en-
ploying a nurse which Miss Packard,
informed Mrs. Oliver would cost
500 per month. Miss Ruth peterson,
Mrs. Oliver stated has been suggest
ed by Miss Packard as the nurse to
employ for this work.
Mrs. Oliver said that one child
who was in bad condition, when
asked what she had to eat, tod
those in charge of the work that for
breakfast she had tea and bread for
luncheon tea and bread and for din
ner, tea, bread and soup.
The question then came up as to
what the nurse would do and whose
direction she would be under. 1t
was thought best before employing
such a nurse to more thoroughly
investigate the matter and COM
mittee of three, consisting OF Mrs.
oliver, Christian Anderson and John
K, Sheehy was appointed to look
into the matter and report at the
next meeting.
President A. Clayton Clark was
authorized to obtain a speaker for
commencement exercises.
Before taking any further action
in granting the use of school
rooms to various societies 1t WAS
moved that the clerk get in touch
will the New Brunswick schools
and see what action they take in
allowing societies the use of the
school rooms.
