SCHOOL BOARD’S ANNUAL MEETING IMPORTANT MATTERS CONSIDERED Loose Tea Loses~ Flavour It not only loses flavour, but worse than this, loose tea takes on new odors, such as coal oil, molasses, onions, cofiee, soap, etc.,-â€"-to say nothing of its exposure to the sun, dust, dirt and air. Therefore for your protection The annual meeting of the Board of Education took place last night at eight o’clock in the council chamber for the purpose of electing the mem- bers of the difierent committees and for other routine business. Those preâ€" sent were trustees Flavelle, Jackson, Staples, Carew, Anderson Knowlson, Edwards. Adams, Drs. Blanchard and White. RIB-ELECTED CHAIRMAN. On motion of Messrs. Flavelle and Staples.

SUPPLIES REQUIRED The managing committee were alsoi instructed to get tenders for the neâ€"l; cdssary supplies of staticnery for correspondence and typewriting dur- ing the coming year. WELL RECOMMENDED A letter of recommendation from Principal Scott, of the Toronto Nor- mal school, strongly recommending Miss Carrie Ferguson, to take charge of the senior third class in the pub- lic schools. Miss Ferguson attended model school in Port Perry and has had three and a half years’ experâ€" ience, and will likely obtain . 2nd class honors at the Normal school at The usual grants of $50 to the i 1 ‘l board in giving laborers their pay by an order on the secretary, it be- ing against the rule of the board to permit the chairman of the man- aging committee to pay accounts. He had found it necessary to do so, as workmen would not take a job where they had to wait a couple of weeks for their pay. The board decided that under the circumstances, and""as the cheque passed through two or three hands to be signed trustee Anderson did the right thing to pay at once. ATTENDANCE REPORT Principal Kirkconnel’s collegiate re- I port, showing a total roll of 256, with an average attendance of 96 96 per cent or 247 was next read. INSPECTOR COMING. It mentioned that Inspector Weth- erall would visit the collegiate about { the fifteenth of February it would be‘ necessary for the board to have the furnishings of the gymnasium in place and the seats in the new addition arranged by the date if the board wished to get the annual grant on i this equipment. I In dealing with this clause the , board left it in the hands of the man i aging committee to report at next meeting. Very little of the equipment ' oi the old gymnasium can be used. There are already enough seats for all but one of the new rooms. The grant will be in the neighborhood of $150. PRINCIPAL FALCONER In his second clause Principal Kirâ€" kconnefl suggested that since Presid- ent Falconer was to give an address on the first of March, it might be} advisable to have the opening of the new section of the Collegiate Insti- tute at the same time. If possible this will be done. COAL BIN NEEDED . No provision seems to have been made for a coal bin in the new building, and the supply has been dumped in the cold air room! Where the dust goes up through the regis- ters to all parts of the building. The board decided to leave the matter in the hands of the manag- ying committee with power to. act. ‘ DECORATION GRANT. In' order to have first-class grading good decorations, pictures,~ castes and vases must be placed in the rooms, so the board gave a grant of $50 towards the object in view. The government also gives a grant of $25 on the report of the Inspector. Easter. It was a very strong letter, 0 a so the board decided to accept the The Plfiln‘lff application, provided Miss Ferguson obtained her honors at Easter. m... SCH...
