The committee also recommends
that in the case of corner houses
resting on the boundaries of two
different districts children shall be
allowed to attend either of the
two schools, according to the wish
es Of the parents or guardian.
The committee also recommends
that in the future all fifth grade
pupils from the Bishop district
with the exception Of North Main
street from 451 to 651 inclusive
be promoted to the briggs school,
as they finish fifth grade at Bishop
school; that all fifth grade pupils
from 451 to 651 North Main street
inclusive be promoted to Webster
school as they finish at Bishop
school.
On recommendation of the COM
mittee on teachers, the resignation
of Selma Weinberg was accepted
and the following transfers made:
Anna c. Martin. Croft, Grade s
departmental, to Duggan, Grade 8.
Kathleen Donahue, Sprague
Grade 4, to Croft, Grade 5, depart
mental.
Margaret NJ. Doyle. Sprague,
Grade 8, to Grade 4.
Marie A. Casey, Sprague, Grade
2 to Grade 8.
Mary E. MCGOWAN, Sprague,
Grade / to Grades / and 2.
The resignation of Miss Selma
Weinberg and the transfers listed
above have made possible the clos
ing Of one grade room and the
elimination of the double session
condition now existing at Sprague
school as well as effecting an ad-
ditional saving of $3.50, in sala-
ries.
A new rule was passed which 1t
Is believed will do away with the
confusion caused about blowing
the whistles on stormy days. It
is as follows:
session for all grades.
1880 a. ma blows, one ses-
sion for Grades 4, 5, 6, z, and s,
which will close at 100 p. M. Kin
dergarten, Grades /, 2 and to be
dismissed at regular time.
12:40 p. ma blows, no after
noon session for all grades.
This means that in the future
the high schools will hold regular
session rain or shine. Hereafter
pupils from the outside districts,
attending the second district
schools will pay amount equal to
the per capita cost Of local pupils
as appears of record for the pre-
vious year, this will be less than
the SIS for grades and $3.50 charge
at the present time.
Commissioner Beardsley brought
up the matter of changing the til
tie of the clerk to that of secre-
tary. A vote to this effect was pass
ed.
On suggestion Of Superintendent
Condor it was voted that rules for
night school teaching be changed so
that the waiting list would be
eligible to teach the sixth, seventh
and eighth grades in the night
schools, this to continue during the
period. It was also vot-
ed to recommend to the board of
finance that a transfer of $4,000
from salaries to repairs be made.
The bills for the month, amount
ing to $2,49S.99 were approved for
payment.
There was long discussion as
to the system of informing the full
board of what takes place at COM
mittee meetings. Commissioner
believed that all this in
formation should be in possession
Of the full board as we'll as the
committees. Commissioner Scully
said he agreed with this, but that
he objected to passing it out to
the public before it comes to the
board. He did not like the idea of
being called in to pass upon some
thing that the public has already
been informed has been passed and
done.
The board adjourned, subject to
the call Of the chair.
