The meeting appointed a committee ccnistlng of Alderman W. R. Mun-ro. Prank Wilson and J. O. Wilson to arrange a schedule for class meetings, with the expectation the classes will be started about tlie middle of the month.
There was a suggestion during the meeting that in the event of difficulty being experienced in financing over the cost of instruction that a nominal fee should be imposed upon those attending the classes, but this will turn upon, the extent of co-operation met with. There was also thc suggestion that the board of school trustees might be induced to cc-operate to the extent of engaging the services of Instructor Bennett for the teaching of physical instruction in tlie city schools.
