Meeting Called to Order Last Night Wear 0 O'clock Oimn-M-iK-aiwnt ' Night Date Moved I'p by Cue to the 18U of May. Had not Commissioner T. T. Smith opened the door of the first floor council chamber of the city hall last night c(ie to 9 o'clock and walked In, thera would hava been no record of an official school board meeting written in the books of the city clerk. Mindful of the fact that the first Tuesday In the month is the desig nated tima for the monthly meeting a number of the members at $ o'clock gathered themselves together (which does not mean that they were In fragments) and held council about the nreleaa grate. Elght-nfteen cama and no quorum. Eight-thirty and the predicament was unrelievad. It was the history of the last meeting over again. Meantime tha city charter was be ing one moment torn to shreds and the next patched together again. The election or a mayor and the "Improv ing of the streets and other things all handled in fashion fast and loose. Over In the adjoining room where a red Are blazed. Prof. Alexander Oraham held converse with a news paper man. delivering a lecture on United States history, a favorite theme of his. He had begun with George Washington and had come an down through the Presidents, Illus trating the fight for the balance of power In the United States Senate, waged by the Introduction of North ern and Southern States Into the Un ion and had reached the point where the North had 'secured a safe major ity which gave It control of both houses and announced that It would pass any tariff law It avanted. Then came war. so tne tariff ana n slavery." the educator was remark Ing sententlously, "was the real cause of the war." Just then came the stentorian tones of Mr. R. K. Blair from the opposite room and observation showed that the board, lacking one nf a quorum and minus the mayor too, was hold Ing an Informal session. Mr. Blat sat In the chair, but the Informality of the meeting was attested by al most a unanimity of hatted heads. After ii discission of one or two mutters those present were about to depart-when Mr. Smith came in and made the ninth. Organization was then effected. Professor Balrd taking the chair at the suggestion of Mr. Blalr. He presided with dignity. "Any report from the night school committee?" he asked of Chulrman Dooley. "There's nothing startling." Bald Mr. Dooley And fruitless down the line went the call. The fact being mentioned that the Auditorium had been rented to the Radcllffe festival people for the nights of May 19th and 20th. whereas the white school commencement Is to be held there on the 19th. It was voted to change this to the 18th. The colored commencement Is not changed. Mr. Graham delivered a message from Miss Roberta Lord, who has been 111 for about two months, to the effect that she will not be able to teach any more this vear and she did not wish her half-salary to continue unless the board, in possession of the facts, wished it. Tha hnard expressed appreciation of her consideration and gave her leave of absence until next year, salary not to continue. Mr. Dooley wanted to know If there wasn't some complaint about pupils wanting certificates on completion of the tenth grade. Nobody had heard of any and the superintendent thought that everybody knew now they couldn't get them. A motion to adjourn had an easy time getting through. Following is the honor roll of those who came out: Commissioners W. H. Belk, M M. Wallace, T. T Smith. J. G. Balrd. Jny Hlrshinger, R. K. Blalr. B. L. Klsslah, G. L. Dooley and D. L. KIstler.
