Beddall, Terzlse and Davenport wero present.
Tho easy, revolving spring chairs, tho heavy
Brussels carpet, great heavy nnd handsomely
finished oak tables had a good effect upon
tho directors. "It is n pleasuro to nieot in
such a place as this," tlioy said, and sottled
down to business in such a buainoss-liko wuy
that adjournment was taken Bhortly after
nlno o'clock.

report showing that tho schools aro in ox
ccllont condition and notwithstanding a largo
number of children were prevented from

on account of tho epidemic of measles tho

attendance 2,015: avemgo perccutago of
attendance, 89; prosont every session, 012;

in monthly enrolment, 53; in avcrago dally

Tho report also showed that tho incroaso this
yoar over last yoar in tho averago nightly

Secretary Uanna, ol tho text books and
supplies conimitteo submitted a report show
ing that up to dato the committeo has expend
cd $1,121!. 3d for toxt books nnd other sup'
plies to comply with the now law and an ex
pcndlture of about $."00 moro will bo required
to meet all tbo provisions for tho term.
Mr. Ogden, of the finance committeo, made
an exhaustive report in which ho showed
that the balance in treasury is 10,100,02.
Mr. Ogden also mado an exhaustive report
as a member of the library committee. Ho
said that recently nearly 1,100 new volumes
were added to tho public libraay at a cost of
about $1,038.02. Tho library is now tho boat
public ono in Schuylkill county, both as to
the number and Vhluo of tho books. There
aro 3 000 volumes, or over, and aside from
their intrinsic valuo aro worth $1,500. Tho
committeo has been obliged to moro than
double its timo In distributing books to a;
e Hits. So groat has been tho demand, tho
mmittco has been obliged to call in addi
tional help and this has been rendered by
Mosars.Burkc, Scheuhing, Britt, Conry and
Lowis, of tho teachers corps. The committeo
recommended that peoplo residing out of
the borough be allowed to secure books from
tho library upon payment of a fixed sum an
nually In advance
Mr. Beddall arose and stated that tho re
ports submitted by Mr. Ogdon wore tho best
sinco the gentleman had been serving on tbo
committees and ho deserved great credit for
them.
President Conry also took occasion to honor
Mr. Ogden by saying tho financial report was
the best ho had ever heaid read beforo the
board and Mr. Ogden was entitled to tho
thanks of the directors. It was clear and
couciso, and not only showed tho exact con
dition of affairs at the present time, but
served as a guide for tho board In making
expenditures to the end of tho term.
On motion it was decided that people
residing out of the town be permitted to use
the library upon payment of $2 per yoar
In advance.
Upon tho suggestion of Superintendent
Whitakor it was decided that the schools
will bo closed on the day following
Christmas aud that teachers who leave town
at 0:10 a. m. will bo paid for lull attendance
at the teachers' county institute to be held in
Pottsvllle. Tho latter action Is an excuse in
advance for tho teachers who may teach the
institute a little late In tho momlugs, as tho
arrival of the train in Pottsvllle will uccod
sadly cause them to be late.
