Huch an advantage, tl la the Com-pany'a

often and whenever the volume of
business and financial conditions will
warrant, and this reduction Is made
despite the facl that all materials en-tering
Into iii" manufacture and dis-tribution
of gas have constantly In-on
sed during the pasl flfti n
mid it is therefore only made possible
by the dlscoi of the ■ i I

Mr. Cavanagh took his seat In the
new Hoard while Mr. Miller t/&3 un-able
to be present and lake his scat
owing to business engagements. Wil-liam
Murray a member of the old
i loard vv host term expii ed lasl night,
was electi d a tiieailiei of (lie new-
Hoard to fill the unexpired term of
i -onis K Jones deceased,
The old Board mel at 8 o'clock. In
the absence of PresWenl Tegtmeler,
.Mr. Cleaver was chosen president pro
tent. Upon the suggestion of super-intendent
Weaver, the Hoard decided
to close the schools for Ihe Christ-mas
holidays on December 24, holding
n short session in the afternoon, in
order to receive credit for a full day
thereby not disarranging the sched-ule
for the ending oi tin- school term.
Superintendent Weaver gave a brief
outline of what the BChools will have
to do under the CM! I Labor Law, in
providing continuation schools, lie
attended the School Masters' Club
meeting at Reading, Saturday where
the subject of continuation schools
was discussed by educators who had
made a study of tbe law. He said the
law provides that a special type of
teacher must be employed to teach
the schools. For a class A teacher,
the sttite pays $200 per year and tor
a class B teacher $I-"0 is paid. These
teachers must hold a special state
certificate. The amount the Btate
paya is nol the salarj ol tn ti achera
but the state's appropriation of aid
to school districts employing such
teachers
There are not sufficient teachers
holding special certificates t" care
for all the continuation schools and
Superintendents have been empower-ed
to hold examination and issue such
certii i: oi
The law provides that children be-tween
the ages of u and 16 years of
age who are employed, shall attend
tlie continuation schools 8 hours
wck. There may la one school cay
Oi 8 hours, 2 (lays of I hours or I
davs of - hours or a child may attend
school continuously until be has made
the required number of hours for the
year and then go to work. Mr. Weav-
• I the plan generally favored by
employers through the state, as re-ported
at the convention, was for '2
school (lays of 1 hours each, each
week.
In speaking of the position of the
local schools, he said. Conshohocken
has 86 Children between the ages of
14 and lb' years, working under the
employment certificates and that
there are in West Conshohocken a-bout
20. T'liesi children will have to
return to school alter January I or
attend the continuation schools. An-other
feature is that the children may
attend the continuation school near-est
his or her employment. Another
feature that will add a burden to the
Conshohocken distrlst is thai In dis
trlcts where the number ol children
is less than 20, such districts may
send the children In the nearest con
tlnuatlon school without expense to
the sending district, which means thai
Wcsi Conshohocken, Plymouth and
W'liiteinarsh children must be taken
care ol h\ the Conshohocken district.
The course of study prescribed I'or
tlie continuation schools is: First,
academic: English, industrial geog
rapliy and hygiene for workers The
state to pay B0 per cent ol the coal
of equipment.
Second, vocational: free hand and
mechanical drawing hook keeping and
industrial arithmetic; also, variable
vocational work; a study of machinery
and processes of manufacture pecul-iar
to the particular district.
Mr. Weaver advised the Board to
take no action in the instituting the
new school until there is a hitler un-derstanding
or the situation as many
districts are pursuing the same pol-icy-
The old Hoard adjourned sine die.
