stitute, containing q proposition to lease

The Committee would furthermore re-
commend that in the selection Of teachers

chosen from among the Principals al

Schools, thus reducing the number Of

Principals may be made without in any
manner impairing the efficiency Of the
District and Ward Schools, since the I'D.

which, under existing regulations, com
niand the greater part Of the time Of the
Principals, would be removed to the
High School. Two Of the smaller Ward
School might in this. manner be placed
under the supervision Of one principal,
who would then be enabled to devote
more time to each Of the several depart
ments, or divisions Of the schools Of two
wards; than he can under existing regula-
tons to those Of one. And your Commit
tee estimate that the total expense Of OPP
Grating the High School for the ensuing

males and two females, could be met By

Of a mil on he dollar valuation Of the
taxable uroperty Of the district And the
