Thomp son, Whittle, Brainerd, Cpok, Baltz, Talada and Maddock an- swered to the roll call. The busi- ness transacted was of a routine nature, including the paying of the teachers’ and janitor’s salaries, and also the salaries of the secretary and treasurer of the board. In the matter of Miss May Wat- kins, who is entered on the rolls as a non-resident, was brought to the attention of the board by her brother, who was present at the meeting. It appears that a bill for tuition had been rendered to Miss Watkins, but it developed that she was living in Sayre with a relative, and although her parents resided without the state, the board decid- ed that she was entitled to attend school the same as a resident. The truant officet presented a bill amounting to $5 So, but as the superintendent stated that there had been an error in the number of hours charged by the officer, the amount was cut to £4 40, which was ordered paid. The insurance amounting to $50 on the high school building fix- tures and text books, was also or- dered paid, and the tax collector’s report was received and placed on file. ; A new desk was purchased for the superintendent’s- room. The piece of furniture was much needed and makes an excellent addition to the room. Superintendent Stetler reported that seats were badly needed in the new Fourth Ward School building. The matter was referred and action will be taken later. A sum not exceeding $10 was appropriated to purchase a treatise on birds. The teachers have suc- ceeded in interesting the pupils in the Audubon Bird society and re- quested that a work be purchased which would stimulate this inter- est, A resolution was presented and adopted authorizing the committee on the central building to provide cases for the collection of minerals and specimens received from the museum at Philadelphia. The monthly salary of Miss Ful- ford, one of the teachers, was fixed at $40. The Christmas vacation was fixed from December 23cd to Jan- uary 2nd, inclusive, whereupon the board adjourned. THE KING OF TRANPS A powerful melo-drama, abound- ing with startling sensations, beau~ tiful sceriery and a strong acting company, constitute the main characters of "The King of Tramps.” The author has made the central figure that of a tramp, an escaped convict, innocent but unjustly sentenced for another man's crime, that of murder. He finally es- capes from prison and to hide his iJendtity becomes a tramp, It is a powerful, sensational play, full of mirth and pathos, but pure in thought, action and language: Every lover of good melo-drama should avail himself of the oppor tunity to sce this great play and production at the Loomis, Dec. 7.
