West of Trembowla, the Aus trians had established themselves near the village of Gaivoronka, in a strongly fortified position, which wad to serve as a base for an advance on the southern front.

The Phillies were not the best club that ever won a National Leas gue flag.

O, Sliter, at the meeting of the Board of Education, on Thursday night. "Yes, it is still being taught," was Principal Sliter's reply, "The regula- tions provide for the teaching of it. Any citizen can demand that - his child be taught German." "Have you fdind any pupils tak. ing German at 'the present time ob- Jecting to it?" Mr. Sliter said that he had heard no objections, and that there had been no falling off. in the number starting in the study.of German. tion regarding the time for the clos- ing of the schools in the afternoon. He was informed by Inspector Stu- art that the regular time for closing was 4 o'clock, but that the teachers had authority to dismiss ohildren bearing good conduct at 3.30. Trustee Farrell asked that infor- mation be prepared by the Inspector as to the number of pupils relieved of their studies at the earlier hour, and for a full report on the matter. His motion was seconded by Trustee Elliott, and carried, Children's Teeth. Trustee Meek is determined that there shall be a thorough inspection of the children's teeth. He believes that it is a matter that should be at- tended to, even If it is necessary for the Board to go into the dental busi- ness itself. The chairman of the management committee reported that the work was suffering as a result of 50 many of the dentists being occup- ied with work among the overseas volunteers. In view of this Trus- tee Meek moved, seconded by Trus- tee McLean, "that the management committee be requested to report on the advisability of a dental clinic without delay." "If the dentists are too busy look- ing after the soldiers, we should] have a dentist of our own," declared Trustee Meek, The matter should not be allowed to drop. It is most important that the teeth of the chil dren be treated. Trustee Meek then quoted figures lo show how many voluateers hai been turned down, as a result of hav- ing bad teeth. Some time ago, Trustee Meek found that no dentist had made an inspection in eight months, at Fron- tenac school, and worked to have the children attended te. He believes that nothing should stand in the way of this all-impértant work. motion was passed. Trustee Hendersom reported that Steps were under way to have the school nurse qualified so as she could assist in the inspection of the children's teeth. Men's Industrial Classes. Trustee Farrell is of the opinion that every effort possible should be made to get the men out for the night Industrial classes. Owing to the faot that it was found impossible to secure men to attend, the Indus- trial Committee recommends that the classes be abolished.» Trustee Far rell believes that this would be a most serious mistake. Trustee Renton, as chairman of the Industrial Committee, stated that he had called a meeting twice of his committee; to discuss the matter, but that on both occasions he had no quorum. However the members of his committee were still of the opin ign that it would not be wise to open the classes for the men. He stat- ed that in regard to men attending from the locomotive works, the cam- mittee had been informed that the men were all busy, and that not one man from the works would be able to attend. Trustee Meek sald that it had been found impossible to get the men out for the classes, and the fact was most lamentable in a place like Kingston. ; Bo ats that the men would rather loiter around the street or go ta the 'movies' he said. It app that the tlasses for wo- men have been fairly well attended. The men have been backward in estion, stating. that every effort f ou e had been put forth to. get} the Wasses in operation, but with no || ti Trustee Farrell it} ae iran. the classes |} for men in the newspapers, He is one of the many who believes that it The management Committee will | deal wit the appeal from Lord|i Lansdowfie, for help tor She British § the school cht dren, share in | Trustee Farrell asked for informa-: i * THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG.
