Ladies' Summer Wash Suits

dressing well, prefer our Ready-to-Wear Summer
Suits to the creations of their dress makers, because
they have a style and finish which the average modiste
could not impart to them. Besides this, our plan ena
bles well-to-do buyers to get two or three summer
gowns for less money than they formerly paid for one,
thus affording them an uulimited number of changes,
during the season. But there are those who cannot
afford an unlimited number of changes, even though
the prices are low, and to such
Our Perfect Summer Suits

Ised Mr. Davis to vote for him if Con
troller Kynon recommended him, and
while he was not disposed to vote to
oust an old teacher, ho had given his
word and must abide by It.
Mr. Jayne stated that while he would
like to support tho controller of a ward
in making nn appointment In his wnrd,
ho did not like to do It at the expense
of an old teacher,
Mr. Jennings also thought It light
and proper that a controller' advice
In appointments should prevail under
ordinary circumstances, but in this
case the circumstances were not 01 dl
nary. Mr, Kynon's choice was a young
man just out of a normal school, who
never graduated from the High school,
who had no experience as a teacher,
and who consequently should be seek
ing a subordinate position, rather than
one that ought to go to some old and
experienced teacher.
Mr. Kvans said he wanted to support
Mr. Davis, but he could not bring him
self to vote against Mr. Phillips. "I
wub going to vote for Mr. Davis, but
they have got this thing befuddled so
that I can't vote for him," declared
Mr. Kvans.
Mr. Darker, chairman nf the teach
ers' committee, declared that the com
mittee was willing to give Mr. Davis
a subordinate position, but Mr. Kynon
Insisted on having hint appointed a
principal or nothing. The committee,
Mr. Darker explained, felt that It could
not ptcfer Mr. Davis to so many old
and experienced teachers who are wait
ing for promotions,
Mr. Laugalt had promised his sup
port to Mr. Davis, but when it had
come to a pass where he would have
to vote agalnsbMr. Phillips to vote for
Mr. Davis, he would have to refuse, tor
he had previously assured Mr. Phil
lips that when he was ready to resume
teaching a placo would be made for
him.
Pictddent Gibbons took tho floor to
have a say on the subject. Ills argu
ment was that Mr. Davis had spent
only a year and four months at a nor
mal school, after prepailng at n gram
mar school, and to appoint hint to a $90
a month position would not be fair to
the experienced teachers who have been
serving tho district for years.
Mr. Kynon again took the floor, and
said that ho was not Insisting that Mr.
Davis be made principal of No. I'.i. He
was Insisting, though, that ho had the
right to an appointment In his ward,
and that the appointment should go to
some 0110 of his constituents. He was
willing to make a trade with Mr. Neuls,
transferring Prof. Thomas from No. S
to No. If, and permitting Mr. Davis to
take Prof. Thomas' place at the lct-s
Impoitaiu school.
Hy the scheme of transfers proposed
by the committee, the Fourth ward
would bo deprived of an appointment
and two appointments given to the
Twenty-first ward, where Prof. Kvans
canio front to succeed Prof. Morgan,
who succeeded Prof. Phillips. If Mr.
Davis is not given tho appointment,
Mr. Kynon declared with sonio warmth,
there Is no use In any young man fioni
any ward looking for anything.
Mr. Kynon wanted a rule adopted
that heieafter no young mnn he ap
pointed a principal who has not nerved
In n subordinate position as a teacher.
Tho suggestion met with no himnnrt.

pointed principal of No. 17, but tho
filling of this vacancy was put over till
the next meeting, at the request o
Controller Leonard.
On the recommendation of the high
and training school committee, mado
through Chairman Jennings, the board
lenewed the steam mipply contract
with the Kennomy Light, Heat and
Power company, nt an advance nf ten
j'.cr cent, over last year's contrsvt
price, $1,9."iL conditioned that th
company furnish a pressure of not
less than twenty-flvo pounds at all
times.
It was also directed by the board, at
the high and training school commit
tee's suggestion, that the faculty nt
the High school meet once a month
with tho high and training school
committee.
A bill nf $10.60, for car fare, con
tracted by Sirs. Parnes, director of!
music, was ordered paid.
Margaret Hoyd was appointed Janl
tress nt No. 1M, to fill a vacancy. Tho
recommendation was made by Mr.
O'Malley, In the absence of the con
troller of the wnrd, Mr. Francois.
A resolution presented by Mr. Itoeho
was adopted, making It a rule ot tho
board that hereafter, upon the re
ceipt of sealed proposals, no bidders
name shall be announced until tho
secretary first states that all the re
quirements of the bids, such as tho
rnelosure of a forfeit, aro complied
with. Mr. Itocho explained that It not
infrequently happens that bidders ne
glect to enclose u forfeit, or In snmo
other way fall to comply with tho
full requirements, and then expect
some members nf the board to havo
them excused from tho consequences
of their dereliction. If the bidder's
name Is not announced, the 'friend on
the board" can not be expected to
guess who It Is, nnd thus will be saved
the unpleas-ant task of trying to In
duce the board to overlook the ne
glect. The report of Secretary Fellows, of
the disbursmonis of the year, showed
that tho total expenditures wera
