'the grounds, which were in a rough and dangerotis state, are now in a more de- | sirable condition, Prof. Macgillivray asked: why the ( frosting had not been removed from the collegiate institute windows as well as those of Victoria school. Mr. Craig replied that Prittcipal Ellis reported that the collegiate windows were satisfactory. Mr. Thompson drew attention to the sum of $23.95 in the Finance committee's report for fumigating. He claimed that to an article in Queen's: Medical Quarterly, which instances a local case of an unsuccessful attempt to fumigate five rooms. The Finance committee's report in-. cluded an account of $70.25 for Dr. A. R. B. Williamson for vaccinating public school children, and an account of $41.05 from A. P. Chown for vaccine and shields. Worthy Of An Increase. Mr. Renton brought up the question of increase of salary for Mr. Fraser, of the collegiate staff, whosessalary, he said, should be put on a footing with the sal- aries of other teacherd in the institute. Fraser, he said, was a first elass man, and classed A 1. He moved that Mr. Fraser's. salary be increased $150 to date from Jan. 15th last. Prof. Mar- shall seconded 'the resolution. Prof. Macgillivray spoke in favor of the in- crease, as Mr. Fraser had done excellent and effective work, he said. The chairman said he was in sympathy with the motion, but unfortunately it was out of. order. Before it could be put, the previous action of the board on the matter would have to be re- considered. Mr. Renton then made his motion a notice, so that the new Board of Educa- tion can deal with the matter. The chairman though it would be well for the board to communicate with the government with reference to the-model school which it contemplated establish- ing here. Mr. Walkem stated that he and Mr. Lambert had been appointed earlier in the year to take up the model school question. The board decided to leave the mat- ter in the hands of this committee to open up negotiations, Reports On The Schools. Principal . Ellis reported that the col- legiate registered attendance during No- vember was 408; average attendance 353. Last year the figures were 413 and Inspector Kidd's report on the public schools showed the following :--Pupils registered, 2,145; average 1,415. The average was the lowest in twenty years, but was caused by th recent epidemic and vaccinated armd the kindergarten enrolment was 102. Six new pupils. were admitted during the month. Of these, two came from India, one from Toronto and one from Gananoque. There were six cases of truancy. « rrincipal Ellis reported "that there are five pupils of the coHegiate institute who had 'certificates stating that they were medically unfit to be vaccinated and who were excluded. When would they Le allowed to return, the principal asked? - The chairman read the instruc- tion of the Board.of Health; that none be allowed in the schools except those successfully vaccinated. Until the board's resolution regarding vaccination rescinded, all who have not been done would have to remain out of 'school. On motion of Mr. Walkem, seconded Mr. Lambert, it was decided to close the schools for the Christmas holidays on Friday, the 18th, and re-open them on Jan, sth. by Thanks To The Chairman. The chairman was asked to vacate the chair while the following resolution was moved by Mr. Lambert and seconded by Mr. Bennett: --"That this board 'desires to place on record its appreciation of the service of Prof. Martin as chairman during the year." Mr. Lambert stated that' Prof. Martin had made an able chairman, and has been courteous to all the members, who hoped that. he would continue his con nection with' the board. Mr. Bennett stated that he had never had more pleasant relations with a chairman .than this year while sitting under Prof. Martin, who had made an ideal presiding officer. Mr. Walkem, who was in the chair, endorsed the resolution, and said that | the board had been particularly fortun ate in having such an able chairman Years ago he had associated the Board of iducation with a lot of educated men who didn't know anything, and who spent their time in quarrelling. He was agreeably inipressed, however, to recently find that the board was composed of such a lot of intelligent men. He hoped {the board next year would secure capable a chairthan as Prof. Martin had been Dr. Richardson also spoke: 'of the retiring chairman, who, t was enthusiastic in 'his work shown himself fair-minded and far- sighted. In responding, Prof. Martin said it was a great pleasure to receive an pression of appreciation over an yo conferred upon one. His decisions hac ! been received unanimously by the board, and that: was most satisfactory. He was leaving the board with the full con- fidence that others would come in and stir up educational matters. The original object he had of coming on the board was to do. what he could to im- prove the social and financial position of the teachers, who should rank higher I than they do. He. hoped that next year's board would see its way clear 16 further. improve the position of the teachers who deserved more than they received. To recognize them would be to encourage them and the: result would be the improving of the educational system. . In taking leave of the board Prof. Martin thanked the members for the co-operation they had given him dur- ing the year.
