The request of the boys that they have A gymnasium In tht new High school building will be granted. This was decided upon nt a special meeting of tho Hoard of Educntlon yesterday afternoon. It will bo In tho hall designed for n drill room, tho celling of which In only ten feet high. To overcome tho difficulty of tho low celling as far as possible, the beams at tho end of tho hall under tho stage In tho audi torium will be cut away and the celling cut out. An additional height of three feot will thus bo obtained at this end of tho hall and will allow for the placing of parallel burs, ladders and rings. Tho space under the stupe will be fmxl3 feet. The matter nas brought before tho board by Mr. Sargent, who said that a number of the parents of tho High school boys had coino to him with requests thai ar rangements bo mado for a gymnasium In the new building. He referred to tho fact that if the board had acted on his sug gestion at tho tlmo It was suggested that tho celling of tho. drill hall was entirely too low and had raised It thrco feet by In creasing the height of the walls of tho building that much, the hall would have made a far better gymnasium. While tho matter was under discussion Architect Schoeutgen suggested the feasl hllty of cutting out tho celling from under tho stage In tho auditorium. Tho expense, ho wold, would not bo large, and It was tho only plan whereby thu hall could be utilized nt all for thu purpose of a gym nasium. Tho matter was disposed of by referring It to Chairman Sargent of tho committee on buildings nnd grounds and Superintend ent Clifford, with power to net. This means that tho hoys will have a gymnasium. Tho architects wero Instructed to pre pare plans for tho approaches to tho school and the retaining walls around tho grounds. In tho matter of blackboards for new building, It was decided to have tho tho same as In use in tho graded schools. Miss Ollvo Thompson, teaj-her in the Bloomer school, resigned on account of HI health. Miss Creto Hooker was ap pointed In her place at $33 n month. Miss Mnmlo Otl was nppolnted a substitute teacher.
