 The board adopted the recom- mendation of the rules committee permitting Evelyn Goldberg of Eldridge street to attend Columbia school and Angeline Tutalo of Rus sell street to attend B. W. Tinker school because of their physical condition. It refused permission for the children of Mrs Tchakirides of Boley Manor. to be transferred from Henderieken to Chase school. Transfers were made resulting in the closing of one room at Columbia and making q saving of $1.6S5. This was brought about by the transfer of Jane o'Hara. Grade of Columbia and Alice Nelson who has resigned. csc were announced at the former meeting Transfers yesterday included Gertrude A.. Doran from Columbia to Slocum. Margaret Rehan and Ruth Gerard of that school had been transferred from teachers of Grades 4 and 8, respectively to Grade 6, departmental and Grade 4, respec- lively. Mary Tuomey of Webster was transferred from Grade to Grades 2 and 3; Rita Doughcrty of Webster was transferred from Grades 3 and to Grade 4.
 IHe BuDtFlHtcndtHI SuDbiltttd the following communication of school attendance:
 'The total number of pupils in the high schools was 4,357 as compared with 4.272 last year, showing a net gain of s5. Crosby and Leavenworth show gains of 64 and 41 respectively, while Wilby actually has loss of 20. The small increase in the high schools, in my opinion, Is due very largely to improved business condi- tons. The heaviest loss in any one of the four high school years is in the junior class. All three high schools show very material loss over the sophomore enrolment of last year. This also, in my opin- ion. Is due largely to the fact that children of the junior year have just attained the age of 16, and have secured employment. The :; number of post-graduates this year Is only 70 as compared with 156 for the same period in 1892, show ing an actual loss of approximate ly 50 per cent. It Is apparent, therefore, that the improved eco- homie conditions are taking care of tho postgraduate problem.
 "Enrollment for all grades this year totaled 12,357 as compared with 13.0S4 last year, showing a loss of 727. Much of this is due to the higher age level required for entrance into kindergarten and first grade. However, it Is inter- esting to note that this fall there Is actually a decrease in all grades, except the seventh. as compared with the corresponding figures for 1882. Twenty-six ot the elementary schools show a decreased enroll ment, in some leases this decrease being as high as 79, 73, and n. Only eight schools show an actual increase, the largest being in Rus- sell school, and may be accounted for by the recent change in school | lines.
 "The total enrolment for all public schools is 16.714 as com pared with 17,356 in 1892, showing an actual decrease for the open ing week of 642 children. Of course, these figures will be mate- rially increased by October 1. There seems to be no doubt in my mind that the enrolment in the public schools this year will be far less than it was in 1882.
 On recommendation of the com mittee on rules the following amendments to the present regula- tion were adopted:

 school property of the city, shall pay to the school principal the
