i Following last night's consideration of formal school matters. Dr. Weston C.

He expressed his personal thanks and that of- the board and the PTA Phillips said that he would be very happy to come back whenever he could help out; that his leaving was not of.

his own planning or doing, but' that is represented an opportunity provided by New York friends that he couldnt ignore; that he was sorry be couldnt finish the job he had set; and expressed, his thanks to the board.

i Phillips said that only two football practice had been held on Sunday afternoons after they had been rained out earlier, and that the high school principal had been instructed that there should be no Sunday activities without the permission of the superintendent. The board voted to endorse the spirit of a resolution made by Mrs. Irving H. Baker, executive secretary of the Rutland county chapter of the American Red Cross, for nutritional education for teachers and pupils, and to have the superintendent take such steps as are wise and practical" for implementing this proposal. The problem of professional alertness" versus college credits come up in relationship7 to the, instruction of teachers, while 'the high school already has a course in homemaking, and the Meldon school girls get training in their vocational training class though the boys dont, it was stated, Phillips also said that he thought it was a good idea for all pupils to get such instruction in nutrition, Thomas H.

White has already served as faculty manager for football, and will continue in the same capacity for baseball, track and basketball, with his pay difference between the salary set for the entire job and that which he has aieady received.
