The resignation og MrB. E. Frances Bailey-Plett Of Hopeviile school, and Miss Marie Hallock of gpraglie school were tendered to the board.
 There was no expedition on the part of any of the commissioner as Q result of the proposed changes but there was considerable discug- sion about, the publishing of infor- nation Seveient Co these transfers 1n the newspapers before the mem. bers of the board had become aware of the fact. AS Q result Of this dis. cussioa it was voted to forward ad- vance copies Of certain Committees' proposals to the other members of the board. Though the reporters were given credit for the manner in which they had been able to pro- cure the information, they were not extended the privilege of receiving these advance copies. one of the board members suggested that they could continue to dig for the infor. nation.

 Following the adjournment of the meeting, the members, as Q result of a suggestion of Mrs. Florence Webster, inspected the Crosby cafe. teria.
