Trustee McLennan enquired if Miss Stone- house had received due notice concerning leaving the staff He had not the slightest intention of being harsh, but as the Board had a rule to go by in employing only second class professional teachers, and had enforced it in the case of some teachers, he thought it but right to treat all alike. Trustees Goodall and Reedvthought that though two teachers had been engaged as a result of some misunderstanding as to qualication, they should not be dismissed at this inop portune time so long as they are successful with their classes. Necessary changes in conformity with the rules of the Board might then be made at end of the term The discussion brought out certain hearsays. othcial and otherwise. in connection with the schools, whereupon the Chairman pertin ently remarked there would be better re~ sults if the townspeople would let the School Board run the schools, and not listen to all the clap-trap they hear on the streets. The matter was ended for the time being by a motion authorizing the Management Com- mittee to make a full report at next meeting concerning all teachers whose qualications have been called, in question. Chairman Smith, of the Management Com- mittee, reported aguinst increasing Mr. Ben~ tley s salary at present ; eiso that an account should be kept of the number of days every teacher loses through illness ; and also that the Property and Supply Committee consider the advisabi-lity of having the caretaker of South Ward School remain on the premises during the noon hour. -Adopted. Chairman Montgomery, of the Propertv and Supply Committee, reported that ten old desks and seats had been sold at $1 each; and also recommended that the part of the Central School yard to the rear of the Con- gregational church be enclosed as a perman- ent wood yard. On Mr. Reedy being assur- ed that the cost of this fence enclosure will not exceed $20, the report was adopted. Major Ward, of Finance Committee, pre- sented a report recommending payment of accounts amounting to $317 9l.-Adopted. His second report recommended the appoint- ment of Alfred Wilkes as Secretary-Trea surer at $100 per year. An amendment by Trustees Ward and Smith proposed to sub- stitute-tehe name of Joseph Rogers for A.

Monday night s meeting of the Public School Board and previous 1898 meetings have disclosed elements of discord and dis- agreement, which must be held in check by Chairman Perkins, or by the end of the year every parliamentary procedure will have been violated many times over. Dis- cussion, even it is at times very animated. is better than indifference, but has to be gov- erned and rules of parliamentary debate strictly adhered to, or all the good results will be lost. The discussion started on Monday night over the minutes of the last meeting. Major Ward contended they were not com- plete. in that they did not contain a refer- ence to all stages of the meeting On this point there is. of course. a medium ground. The tendency of clerks and secretaries of modern times is to curtail minutes. and per- haps none are to blame for this more than municipal bodies themselves, some of whose members generally settle down to a some-' what inattentive and restful position while the minutes of the last meeting are being read. Turning this important item of busi- ness into unmeaningless formality is a great mistake. which is amply proven bv the fact that at almost every meeting minutes of previous meetings are referred to. Very important then it is that members ot pub- lic bodies should be on the alert to see that minutes are both complete and accurate. They should contain an exact copv of all motions, amendments and reports, whether defeated or adopted, and any other matter that affects seriously any subject of delibera- tion by the Board.

S. Board paid "to us $167, the same being a part of the Allandale levy of 1896, hence the claim, as shown by Finance Report, No. 10, of 1897, i$s stated to be $1350, instead of as originally 1517. All of which is respectfully submitted. L JAMES WARD, Chairman. ' The Finance Report sent to the Council in ' July reads as follows : - I""l-.:n an-mama`!-Ont: lent` nnnn`nIv nnnn:('nmn:` Your Committee begs to report that since I the last regular meeting they have examined the report of the Finance Committee of last year containing their estimates, and have also examined the copy of said report sent to the Town Council and found the language i-sed in the report and copy sent to the Town Council does not clearly express the inten- tion of the Board as to the monies compos- ing the Allandale levy of l896-and as the Town Council did forward to the Board a checqne for $402 93 claiming it to be the balance of levy for l897-we would there fore recommend that the balance in dispute be left in abeyance, and that the Board ac- cede to the request of the Special Committee of the Town Council to confer with them as -to the disputed balance and other matters relating to school nances with a view ot arranging a more satisfactory way of keep- ing the school nances so as to prevent future misunderstandings. nu `II-IIY IUQKLU W5 IUILUVVS This committee had carefully considered the estimates for the year, and regret that on account of the heavy expenditure for the year 1896, which left a large decit to be paid this year, the amount reu uirezl for use of the schools, which includes Allandale, will be $14,405 ; from this must be deducted $1,000, the amount of receipts payable to the Board by the government and from other sources, which leaves $13,405, and from this should be deducted $1,517 due in the Allan- dale levy of 1896, leaving $11,888 to be levied. This includes $653 for Barrie school debenture debt, and $271 75 for Allandale school debenture debt If the town does not credit the Board with the Allandale balance of 1896, amounting to $1,517, the amount to be levied will be $13,405. Your commit- tee recommend that the Secretary be in- structed to send the Clerk of the town of Barrie a copy of this clause of the report and to levy accordingly. 'li`.......

From this it appears that 313405 was asked by the School Board from the town, said amount including $1517 due on Allan- dale levy of l896,`and $924.75 debenture debt on Barrie and Allandale schools. The Council struck anine mill rate, which amounted to $13002 07 on Barrie s Assess- ment. This left a balance of $402 93, which was paid over last week by cheque direct from the Town Treasurer to the School Board. In addition to this it may be stated that the School Board received 3167 from Allandale School Board out of the $1517, besides $69.64 a balance from last year; therefore the exact nancial condition of the School Board at present evidently is that they have received 3236. 64 more than their 1897 levy.

The discussion on the report was intro- duced by Trustee Montgomery, who backed by Major Smith, expressed their surprise at the wording of the July report of the Fin- ance Committee.
