Sargen TTY YY YY YY HEALTH OF THE SCHOLARS CALLS FOR EXPENDITURE oF $16,000 AT CENTRAL SCHOOL. Board of Education Will Ask Civie Finance Committee For Money to Put Two Basement Rocms in Tit Condition for the Pupils. d of Education met on ight, passed quite a large 3, and adjourned for gree Fonglon ry means no meetings during #t 'unless at the call [ the chairman. The Board took action in a most important matter, that of placing the rooms in the basement of Central school in a better condition from a sanitary standpoint, wand also to better the lavatory conditions. The matter has deen much discugsed from time to time, and the Board feels that in the interests of: the health of the children, 'which is al- ways the first matter to receive the attention of the trustees, that there is need for an expenditure of mofiey. { For this reason it was decided, motion of Trustees Macnee and glin, that the Board approve of an expenditure not exceeding 1316,000 for the necessary lavatory and sani- tary improvements in the two rooms of the basement of Central school; and that the management com- niittee be instructed to wait on the finance committee of the City iCoun- cit and ask for the amounipof money mentioned to meet the gad me In the meantime the property com- mittee will secure all the necessary information for the management committee to present to the civie finance committee. All the schools are at present filled, and it is a case of making the present accommoda- tion fill the bill, but it looks as if Kingston will very soon fhave to have another new school. On the recommendation of the property committee, tenders for the work on repairs to 'Central school building, recently damaged by fire, were accepted as follows, the total expenditure being $2,119: ICarpen- tering work, Mr. Buliness, $790; tinsmithing, Elliott (Bros., $565; painting, Savage & 'Co., $764. These recommendations of the property committee were also ad- opted:* That the resignation of 8. H. Wil- son, caretaker of Victoria school, be accepted, and that Thomas Bonner be appointed at a salary of $1,000 a year, the same as was received by his predecessor. That your com- mittee be authorized 'to purchase a supply of fuel for the coming sea- son whenever a favorable opportun- ity occurs. on Discussion Over Account. There was some discussion over an account passed on. the recom- mendation of the finance committee for the sum of $185.95 to George A. Payne. The money was paid for shingling the house of the caretak- er «af the 'Collegiate Institute Trustee Lemmon started We dis- cussion. [He said he did not wag to object to the account itself, bu regarded this as an easy way of letting out work, and thought that the Board should call for tenders for any special work of this kind. He advocated an amendment in the by-laws calling for such work to be done by tender. Trustee Godwin said that any job over '$25 should be by tender. He thought this would be the best way, as otherwise it might be taking too much money out of 'the Board. Trustee Anglin 'pointed out that Mr. Payne had been doing repair work around the schools for the Board for years, and ithe property Jcommitte in getting him to do this work had just been following out the custom pursued for many years. Trustee (Craig said Mr. Payne's work had always been most satis- factory. Trustee Mills said he agreed with what Trustee Lemmon had said. If it twas deemed necessary, he wotlid be agreeable to have tendets asked for. However, in this *case the Board could ask to see an itemized account, and if the charge was an excessive one, and further, if the matter was brought &t of Mr. Payne he fol Ee. make it all right. he felt it would be a good move for the Board to have a motion calling for work to cost over a certain amount to be done by tender. Later on Trustee Mills gave notice of motion that in future "tenders be asked for on any special work call: ing for an expenditure of more than $5 " 3 Trustee Anglin remarked that he would be opposed to any such mo- tion. He said at the least the amount should be placed at $100. He would not want to be chairman of a committee and limited to $50, tin hese dave of high prices $50 would not go very far with a com mittee on any piece of work. Money For Red Oross, The children in the schools are cer- tainly doing their "bit" in the way of helping on the work of the Red Cross Society. Every month Secretary Macdonald has a most encouraging report to make concerning the work the scholars are doing.

City Clerk Sands notified the board that J. B. Cooke bad been appointed a member of the board, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Ro- hert Meek. Health of the Children, Miss Jean McCallum, school nurse, made some" important recommenda- tions in her report. She submitted a report on the convention she recently attended in Toronto, at which the great need of nurses in the rural dis- tricts a8 well as in the cities, was pointed out. She referred to the good brought about by open air class room, and. asked that the board;| wheén it had under consideration the erection of a new school, make pro- vision for an open air class room, Miss MecCallum also pointed out that the time was not far distant when the board would be ealled upon to provide dental treatafent for ehil- ured who could not secure it. She also asked that the sanitary condi- tion of the two rooms in the base- mént of Central school be given con- siderition, The chairman referred to the mat-| ter of dental treatment for the chil-| dren, and gave it ah his opinion, that! the time had arrived for the board | to provide free dental clinics, He| thought that some arrangements) might be madé with: the Kingston | Dental Association along these lines. | He suggested that the 'management| committee look 'into the matter, and} the chairman of this committee, | Trustee Mills, stated that he vegard-| ed it as most 'important, and that his] committee would take it up. ; | Other Reports, | Inspector J.
