S. - Franklin presided. : There were present at the meeting besides ths mayor Kessra. Balrdi Blair. Kistler. TWT. Smith, D. B. Smith, LittleOeid, Hiatt, Davis, Hlrshlnger NeaL Sexton nd Dooley. The only fight which could naturally come, about was aroused on, the rec ommendation of the teachers' com mittee and hardly. anything else was taken up in the. course of the pro ceedings. These, however, were In teresting as well as important. AS TO BELMONT SCHOOL.. The flrst recommendation of the committee was that all grades over ths sixth In the Belmont school be abolished and that Professor Hellig be made to teach this grade in addi tion to his regular duties as princi pal. Mr. Llalr, chairman of the com mittee, explained that for lack or room In this school building, Jt was peceseary to do away with either some o( the higher or the lower grades. His urorjoiltion waa to let the seventh and eighth grade puulls come to the North graded school a nor add another primary grade. He thought that it was better to take care of the smaller children than the older ones who could without much difficulty walk the distance to the other school. MaJ. J. G. Balrd fa vored this plan in the interest of economy. "Itdjs absurd , to pay a teacher $1,000 to teach aeven chil dren," said he, "the number -which belongs to those two higher grades. It cost this city $120 for every pu pil promoted In that school last year." MR. Ii. B. SMITH'8 PROPOSITION'. Mr. D. B. Smith strongly protested any such step as was recommended He favored the advancement of every school In .the city Instead of taking action that would mean retrogres sion. He finally acknowledged that, ne nad no interest tn the matter ex cept the gocM of the schools,-but de clared that the representative of the Belmont ward. Dr. Hiatt. should flrst be consulted In the matter. Dr. Hiatt said h was opposed to the measure, and Mr. Smith continued speaking. Capt. T. T. Smith favored the rec ommendation for the sake of giving additional opportunities to the pri mary puplla of that district, who would be crowded out unless the two higher grades were abolished After a lengthy discussion, this rec ommendation carried. THE SUCCESSFUL NEW TEACH ER8. Out of the 16 applicants for ad mission to the teaching forco of the city by (examination, the following named passed and were elected in the order of the grades they made:'Mlses Allda Oliver. Eunice Hoover, Marie i eager, Margaret Springs, Alice Moore and M. itudisill. It was nec essary to attain a grade of 85 in the examination. Before the meeting ad Journed, Mr. Ij. a Davis moved that another examination be held for teachers and this was ordered for Au gust 24th and 25th. It is thought wise to nave a larger force of super numeranea tnan is at present held in reserve for emergencies. A mo tion was promulgated by Mr. D. B smith to add the name of Miss L,. Seattle to ths list of successful teach ers, sne having attained a grade, of 14 5-9 In the examination. This mo tion was fiercely resisted by Messrs. unvis and Blair, who held that the board had passed a resolution that an applicant must make the 85 mark. it was lost by a vote of 7 to 6. Total number promoted, l.iTO. TotaL number dropped, LSI t. ADDITION . TO THE ' SCHOOLS. . These figures, in addition - to those already printed in The Observer and The News, and the extract from Superintendent-Joyner's report, recently printed In our morning and evening dailies, .'will furnish .alt the -statistics needed ' for the Information of this noarav xoa are to be congratulated On the successful assimilation Of 2.000 children and II teachers added to the school system by the extension of the euy umiw, without Jriction or com plaint, during the past year. The frequent- , teachers meetings, held every week, on Saturday, from I to IX o'clock, and the hearty co-operation, of teachers and DrlnclDala. with superintendent, in aiding in every way possiDie, the new teachers, made the smoothness of this transition stage possible. it is-not necessary to call your attention to the fact that every year since 1898 the Bulldinr of school houses and a central high achool has oeen recommended to you, and through you to the board of aldsr- men by the superintendent in each annual report. In response to these recommendations a aolendld building ior wnite and eight school rooms for colored pupils, were, provided In wards 1 and 2. as early as 1900. Tbe crowded condition of these very school nouses in wards 1 and 2 now makes the building or school houses in those wards wnere there are none a prime necessity. The 18 school rooms. In tne first ward school are full. , Ths enrollment of sixteen hundred colored children in a building consisting of Ixteen rooms, averaging 100 a room In Ward 2. would, it seems to me, indi cate they were crowded. There are no school houses in Wards 8. 4, 6 and 9, Tor either race. The school pop ulation in Wards 4. 6 and 8 is large! and consist largely of whites. In 1907, buildings in two of these wards were applied for and' 110,000 was votid by the aldermen for a school house In Ward 5 for whites, and In Ward 3 for colored pupils. This appropriation was, it seems,, rescind ed after plajs and specifications and sites were selected for both. A few months since 12.500 waa voted for re pairs and was promptly appropriated by the building committee to the re pair of the .building, on the corner of Ninth and. Graham streets. This will furnish 6 rooms and seats for S00 primary children. In grades 1, 2 and 8 who live in Ward 4. This addi tional room will enable us to deplete 6 rooms in the building in Ward 1 and thus make room for an' equal number, say 300, of children who live in Wards 4 and 1, and are now enrolled in the 4outh school. There are 2 vacant rooms on the fourth floor of. the South school and this depletion will give ( vacant rooms on the third floor of the South school. making H vacant rooms in all. NKKl) MORE BUILDINGS. l he addition of these 8 rooms en able about 600 .hlldren in Wards 4 and 1 to go to wchool in the vlcln Ity of their homes. This will, I trust, HfT'ird a concrete illustration of the need of a lare ls-room building, In Ward 4, 'a smaller oie in" Ward 5 for whites, and a large building in ward i to relieve the crowded con dltlon of the colored school in Ward 2. The building In Ward 4. does not relieve the situation as to wards t and fi a particle, and gives only par tial relief to WardH 4 and 1.

NEED TO ADD A YEAR. The addition of another year Is recommended, for your consideration, to be added to our high school cur-r riculum. I am delighted that musld, is appreciated by this board. Some one. Shakespeare I think, hua said He that hath no music in his soul and Is not moved by the concord of sweet sounds. Is fit for treason, strategems and spoils let no such man be trusted." Some one, not Shakespeare, has also said: "If you win le me write the wonr of a na tion I care not who makes the laws." The study of music csn not be too highly appreciated. The music in every rhurch and Sunday school In Charlotte has bjen improved by our school music. Its discontinuance would fall as a calamity on the palace f the rich and the hovel of the poor. Can any one ever forget the 1,800 children, seated on an Inclined platform, and representing the flag of the Union, when, on our last May 20th celebra tion, they sang "Dixie" for the Con federate Veterans; "The Old North State," for Governor Glenn and staff; "The Star Spangled' Banner." for tno united States marines and sol diers, and In splendid rag time "Every Body works Hut Father" for our lire laddies, as all marched In parade to the music of the great Marine Band from Washington, I).
