ElSCIOFS OIL the local school us
trict in meeting Monday night took
action as stated in the foregoing fol-
lowing consideration, but not heated
discussion.
Conservative elements predominated
and stand for economy in school
affairs was distinctly notable. How
ever, this was tempered by a passage
of the budget of school expense which
practically covers the program of the
board.
The matter of payment of the
schools share of bandmaster came
up and the meeting voted to leave the
appropriation at $500, the same as
last year, instead of $1,500 as pro-
posed by the board. 1t is generally
assumed that the city would appro-
pirate like sum to retain the pres
ent bandmaster at a salary of $4,000.
This rather upsets the band PROPOSE
ton.
Manual Training Impractical.
Manual Training voted out on the
grounds of not being practical and
not achieving results hoped for after
years of trial However, most con-
servatives favor such a course if it
can be practicalized under a compe-
tent instructor. The board has admit
ted it's inability to do this so far but
had hopes of being able to do so next
year. The action ends manual train
ing for year at least, but it is expect
ed that the board will put agriculture
in its place.
Physical Training Mandatory.
A move to eliminate proposed
kindergarten and a physical direction
course was forestalled when it became
known that such departments are
practically mandatory. The board has
already taken steps to provide both
departments. Heretofore neither has
been part of the school curriculum.
Iodine treatment for younger pupils
was recommended, it being optional
with the parents of the children. This
will cost about $4,000.
FL. E. Schreiner was reelected
treasurer, an office he has filled with
credit for several terms.
A. J. Wiedenbeck, another capable
member, was reelected.
Mrs. Charles Thier stepped in to
take the place of F. B. Bidwell, who
declined to serve further.
The board was authorized to take
steps to dispose of the old South pri-
mary school site
