ptPIs in . Secondary school and sixty in q
Urinary, are as many as can be taught and
managed TO the best advantage But had
presented 70 ysu thsse two grades Of our
sohOQls sephratsly. Il estimated that the av-
erage number registered during the present
year, would reach seUentyin the Secondary,
snd' one hundred in the Primary depart
I - nave spoken Of averages, but this is
not the worst view Of tie case. Some Of
-thess schools contain only the proper num-
! bsr Of pupils, while others greatly exceed
| the ayerege number.
Take the following cases as examples. In
\ the Hudson street district, one school has
this year registered $50 pupils. In tho
| MsyhOWer district, one school has register
I cd lS0 pupils, another 120 and another 100.
! In the Hast St. Clair district one school has
registered 1s0 PuPils, smother l4O, and an
other 100. In the Rockwell street district
one school has sEistered I3e pupils. In
the Eagle str eet district one school has reg
istered l20, and smother Il0- In Prospect
street, one school has registered ITO pupils.
In BroWnen street, one school has register
cd lis pupils. In the West ST. CLAIR dis
trict one school has registered 100 pupils
and another 100. In the Pearl street dis
trietone school has registered 40 pupils,
| and two others I30 each. In the Kentucky
| pupils; and in the Hicks street district, one
has rekistersd ITO and another l3O pupils.
Surely need spend no Tune in eOmmsnts
ing on facts such as these for IT must be
apparent, and transparent, to all who con-
sidsr them, that ths school accommodations
of ClsEelsnd sadly fail 70 meet the demand.
Had we now room for thirty additional
schools, the supply Weuld not exceed what
nscesaity requires So multitndinous have

il has been found necessary to divide the
ehiidren in esoh, allowing one division to
attend in the forenoon and the other in IL q
afternoon, and putting all upon half allow
ancs in respect TO school attendance.
There are obi eotions 70 this plan, but they
are, not as serious as the evils which il is
designed to mitigate. ,.,.t, ..-.4t
The completion Of the new BroWnell street
building will furnish the relief needed, at
present, in all the schools of the First and
Fourth Wards. 1t is my opinion that tenn
porary relief should be furnisbsd in certain
parts of the city By the immediate erection
OF two or three small buildings. They eOnld
be made ready within q few months, their
expense would not be very great, and they
would answer the most pressing demands
for 3 few years. l-..lf f5ss s.a ..t,~
Much inconvenienee has been experienced
By the superintendent and by parties hsv-
suitable office. IL became necessary TO give
up the room formerly occupied for this pur-
pose in the Central High School building,
Is it WAS needed for the exclusive use of
Prof. Ruger's classes. But at length room
has been provided, and when suitably fur
nished, it will answer It's purpose muck
better than the former one basin
