Mr. Wilson, from the committee on school
houses. reported that, in compliance with their
duty, towards the close of the last school y ear
they had visited every room in the city occu-
pied by public school. The committee say
that the question Of the trustees Is, where can
any room be found! and not whether it is suit
able: Hence, they found the school. rooms To-.
Gated In the damp and dark Easements OF
obscure churches; in buildings originally de-
signed for stables and carpenter shops; in
1ll-arranged halls over blacksmiths' shops,
market and engine houses; and, in short, in
such buildings or rooms as could not be adyau-
tageously used for any other purpose.
There ID not q solitary school room In the
third district ht for the purpose for which il Is
used. In the hrst, second and fourth districts
there are q few rooms that are very well
adapted to the wants OF q school, but the large
msjority are altogether unsuitable. To describe
IN detail their IA ults would be an endless and
useless task, SIS tho only remedy consists in the
erection of suitable buildings, 70 be owned
