Mr. Davenport claimed that tho matter
had been deterred too long and criticlsod the
suporintendont for remaining away so
long. As tho schools are to opsn on Mon

Tho debate was a lively ono and was
b-rderlng on a personal charactor when

remark, but Messrs. O'llaron and Muldoon
rofusod to evon smile. Mr. B.ird asked

ing, "I'm going home."
Tho debate continued for tt few minutes
and finally tho motion was carried. The
excitement then subsided.
Mr. BaJdall called attention to tho list of

cided th t the finance committee, in con

tendent, act as a committeo lo ascertain
