Mr. Jennings' Ire Was Aroused Over
Students from No. 18 School Going
to No. 14 When They Wcio As
signed to No. 10 Controller
Phillips Exonerated No. M's Prin
cipal and Personally Assumed Re
sponsibility for All Blame Other
Matters Before Meeting.
A lively little tilt occurred between
School Controller Jennings and Phil
lips nt last night's meeting of the
board, over the matter of pupils fiom
No. 18 school, Clrummar II grade, pro
moted to Grammar A and Instructed
to report at No. Hi school, going to No.
1J school Instead.
A decided preference exists ninolig
West Seranton students for No. 11, and
there Is an antipathy for No. Hi, It was
claimed lust night, but after a very
animated discussion ot the matter, the
board passed Mr. Jennings motion that
the superintendent be requested to fol
low out the rules .set down by the
hoard for tho transfer of pupils from
one school to another. The vote stood
IS-::, Messrs. Phillip, Evans and Ky
non being the onlj ones to vote
against the motion.
Controller Kynon lit discussing the
question stated that there wete re
ports of Incompetency on the part of
Miss Fltzglbbon, the teacher In charge
at No. HI, but Mr. Jennings declared
that Superintendent Howell had ex
pressed a favorable opinion regarding
Iter ability and that statements to the
contrary only came from Idle gossip.
MHKT NKX'l MONDAY NKillT.
The board will meet again Monday
night In adjourned session. Mr. Sehrle
1'er having moved for another meeting,
shortly after last night's session was
called to order, A communication was
lead during the early part of the meet
ing ftom the county commissioner;),
notifying the board that there were
$l."0.nno of outstanding bonds? upon
which the boatd Is said to have as
Mimed the taxation. Tho contmls
slflners have ben directed by the .state
board of revenue commissioners to
positively return tho bonds for taxa
tion, and tho controllers were notified'
to appear at tho county oillee for a
hc.tiit'g.
A letter f i om Attorney needy accom
panied this. Mr. ltccdy had arranged
for a, meeting with the commissioners
at 2 o'clock this afternoon and advised
the board to authorize an appeal from
the assessment, If the finding of the
commissioners was against the con
tention of tho district. The tax will
amount to Jt.soo.
Mr. Schtiefer moved that the matter
be referred to the tlnance committee
and the attorney of the board. A let
ter was read from Superintendent
Howell, In which lie advised tho pur
chase of two hundred mental arith
metics, and was referred to the text
book committee, and several members
of a delegation of cltizenn from Lin
coln Heights and the Pound 'Woods
were then given the freedom of the
Hour. Mr. Kundlc, their llrst speaker,
declared that there are about two hun
dred school-going children In that dis
trict, and the schools of Lackawanna,
township, which they have been at
tending, are now so crowded that the
mnjorlty of young people have been
crowded out. The parents, thetefore,
petition the local school board to grant
the privilege to the children In the
higher grades of attending at No. 13
or No. V,2 schools.
TO HAVi: A C'ONFHilKNCE.
Several other members of the dele
gation spoke along similar lines, and
Mr. Parker then arose and declared
that the petitioners, as taxpayers in
Lackawanna township, were In a posi
tion to demand school facilities there,
and moved the matter be referred to
the teachers' committee. Mr. Gibbons
here took tho door, calling Sir. Lan
gan to the chair, and declared that he
had visited the Heights and In Investi
gating the matter, found that the
board would bo willing to confer with
tin- township board on tho matter. Hu
therefore moved that the children bo
admitted to the West Seranton schools,
particularly in the higher grades, pend
ing a settlement of the matters by a
i (inference. Mr. Parker withdicw his
original motion, and Mr. Gibbons' mo
tion was passed. Mr. Schtiefer then
moved that the hecretary Invite the
Lackawanna board to meet the teach
ers' committee at Thursday night's
meeting. This was also passed.
Mr. Jennings then reported for the
high nil training school committee,
lit recommended that as the board
l.as secured u stock of costly drawing
liistriiiiier.us, aid in the past many of
these have been lost or broken through
the negligence of the pupils, this year
each student entrusted with the In
struments be ifquli'i'U to make a tie
posit of ri.r.0, their full aluei which
will be leimbui.sed when he returns'
the set In good condition. The com
mittee also recommended the admis
sion as post graduate students of .Mich
ael j?lunlgun, Joseph Kafter, Lucy (111
gallon, James Neeld, Mabel Lohmann.
Myer Kubatchnlek, Orlllith Thomas,
Annie M. Poland, William K. MeKee,
Lizzie It. Callahan, Eugene Tropp and
John Tighe.
The committee also advised the
blading of one hundred school books at
30 cents each at a West Plttston bind
ery, and the appointment of .Mis
Davis. ,i Hucknell graduate, as an ad
ditional teacher on tho substitute list,
owing to tho sudden Illness of Prof.
nauniont, of the High school faculty.
The committee furthermore recom
mended that the kindergarten teach
ers be given permission to meet week
ly In the high school nd that Miss
Christine Fellows be made assistant
teacher In the training school. This
recommendation was ' largely due to
the splendid work ot '.Miss Follow
last year In the training school.
ItEPOKT ADOPTKD.
The report was adopted and Mr. Par
ker then reported for the teachers'
committee. He recommended that the
salary of tho music, teacher be llxed at
JI.'JOO a year and that the salary of
Miss Anna Muuson, of Grammar II
grade. No. H school, he raised to $on a
mouth. The committee also recom
mended that the board adopt a resolu

Following this report, Mr. Jennings
Introduced the matter of transfers
from No. IS school, and after he made
the motion stated above, Mr, Phllps
rose and moved that the question be
refcri cd to the teachers' committee.
"No. It school," said he, "has always
born regarded as the high school of
"West Seranton, and the children have
always iinxloutdy anticipated the day
when they would bo admitted to II.
On the other side, people have re
peatedly come to me and said they
would not let their children go to No.
Hi. and If they were not allowed at
No. 11 they need go nowhere. The
iilldieu wore, lu fact, on strike. Now,
gentlemen, 1 say every man has his
price, and my price consists of my
friends.
"There was room In No. It school
nnd therefore 1 granted permission, In
a number of cases, for students to be
entered, No blaino attached to the
prliulpal, ns he refused to allow them
in till tliey wcio granted permission by
me."
JENNINGS' RK.MAI5KS.
Mr. Jennings was on his feet linni
dlately after Mr. Phillips moved that
tlo matter be referred to the commit
tee and that the .students he allowed
to state their side of It at a heating.
"Well." said he, "this Is the llrst time
I have heard that 'No. IB was not as
well qualified for educational purposes
n.s No. It. It Is not the hour to talk
of friendship, but rather of enforcing
the rules of tho school board. "When
the board passes" an order to send chil
dren to one school, why should wo dis
rupt this order and send theni else-
wlrL "
Mr. Gibbons followed with some
pretty tart remarks about th" princi
pal of No. 14. who, he said, had made
himself .subject for removal by ad
mitting the pupils from No. 18, and
declared that while he was a good
man. he should be taught better ( on
dttct than to Insult the board by a
disregard of order.. Mr. Phillips
stoutly assorted, that whatever respon
sibility was to be attached In the mat
ter was assumed by himself, anil that
no fault could be found with the prin
cipal In the quc-tlon.
He admitted that he might have
transgressed' In the matter, but de
clared it was all done In the Interests
of the children and their parents.
Mr. Eynon declared that he had
heard of a feeling against the teacher
at No. 1C, and rumors of InellUiency,
and this called forth a sturdy defense
of Mlssi 1'itzglbbons by Mr. Jennings,
who said that the opinion ot the super
intendent should be considered before
the slander of gossiping tongues. Mr.
Kv.'ins spoke along the same lines as
Mr. Phillips regarding the fact that
No. 14 was a sort of Mecca to the aver
age West Seranton pupil, and then
cam the vote.
Mr. Itoche moved that the matter ot
Increasing eleven grammar school
teacheis' salaries, which he had been
petitioned to do, be referred' to th
teachers' committee, The .salaries of
the janitors at No. 13, 2. Ji and T
s-fhools were raised fl a month, and
the mutter of the saluiy of the Janitor
at No. Hi ivferied to committee. It
was decided to readvertlse for bids
for 'No. 2:' school, making the steam
heating and ventilating separate from
the main contract. Mr. Schrlefer, for
the building committee also recom
mended lu his report the purchase of
a lot adjoining No. 1." .school for $1,000.
and another in Little England for the
Mime juice, and this about concluded
the nls'ht'H business.
POOL TOURNEY OPENED.
Bicycle Club nnd Green Kidge Wheel
men Experts Met Last Night.
The pool tournament between the
Seranton lllcycle dub and Green 111 Ige
Wheelmen, which was arranged u
short time ago, was opened last night,
when two tennis of players from each
club opened the contest.
J. W. Puseiihury and J. J. ntiflleld,
of the Hlcyiie club, went to Green
Kldge and played on tho tables there,
nnd the AVheeltnen sent to the central
city Messrs. J. O. Keese and Wede
mau, to play R George Mitchell and
Iv K. Pryor. Tho matches will be
continued until every man has played
against each of the contestants on n
opposing side.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Trolley Car Nearly Ran Over a Steep
Embankment.
The passengers on tiollcy car No. 21
had a narrow escape from death, or
at least serious injuiy, last Saturday
afternoon. Tho utr was out-bound on
the Moosle lino nnd ran off the track
where it runs around a curve from
Plttston to Cedar avenue.
There is an embankment at this
point, but the car was slopped at Its
very edge by a vigorous application of
the brakes on the nut of tho motor
man. The popular Punch cigar Is still tho
leader of the 10c cigars.
