COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD
HOLD SPECIAL CONFERENCE
The city council and the school
board met at the council chambers
last night for the purpose of con
ferring on matters pertaining to
the school. The members of the
school board were in attendance by
invitation, as was also Superinten
dent A. B. Phillips.
The purpose of the meeting was
explained by Mayor Sout&worth.
the attention of those present being
called to the fact that the council
did not assume to encoach upon the
rights of the school board, but de
sired the opportunity to discuss cer
tain matters which had been
brought to the attention of the
school board and the council. The
mayor also informed the members
of the school board that the tax roli
of the city is now being prepared
and requested that the board sub
mit a budget covering school re
quirements for the coming year in
order that the council may take
the school expence into account in
fixing the annual tax levy within
the next few weeks.
One of the matters discussed was
the regulation in force at the school
prohibiting the wearing of mocasins
in the school rooms, and there were
a number of parents present to re
gister their objection to the regu
lation. Superintendent Phillips ex
plained why the rule had been made
chiefly on account of the odor com
ing from many pairs of mocasins in
a warm room. He stated that moc
casins could be worn to school and
exchanged for slippers or shoes.
Those objecting to the rule com
plained that some of the children
are too young to make the changes
in footwear without assistance and
are apt to leave the school unduly
exposed to the elements. After
some further discussion, the meet
ing was adjourned without having
taken any action.
It is understood that the school
board will endeavor to arrange for
the installation of a new heating
plant at the school, the present
winter having demonstrated that the
plant now in use is unsafe and not
sufficiently large to permit neces
sary ventilation.
