o the President and Board of Public IL
Education: Il
GeRIeHleR-We the undersigned, APP Il
at the last regular meeting of the v
to visit the Market street schools, Il
eg leave to make the following report:
On the oOLn May we visited the schools h
u Market street, taught by Miss Phelon s
nd Mrs. Kelley, and found them in most
order. the scholars very prof.
ient in their different grades, and under
ne most perfect discipline. We exam
led several classes in spelling, reading
nd arithmetic, and must say that the
show thorough training from
heir teachers in their several branches of
Judy.
In Miss Phelon's school we found fifty
lildren present, aud the aggregate num- SC
to be fOrty-eight. In Mrs. Reily's D,
,hool We found the attendance to be OF
UGH the same. at
We wish to call the attention of the II
GARD 10 the fact that neither chairs nor ar
.ackbOards have been furnished by this M
Oard, but are the property of the teach nj
=; neither rave the desks been screwed pr
OWN TO the floor of the school-rooms. 10
70 presume, however, that the building L
,ing lately purchased by the Building W
Jmmittee, and only fitted for scholars OF
Iring the last month, sufficient time
IS not elapsed to rave the sehOol-rooms A.
1t in proper order. We would, how 10
suggest to the Building Committee 81
o propriety Of having these desks fast ~
ed to the floor before the session cEses. -,
