Mr.. Peirpoint made the following re-
port in regard to Fairmont Normal
School:
This Board is composed OF the School
Commissioners for the Fairmont School
District and the Executive Committee
appointed by the Board Of State Re
gents, in pursuance of acts Of the Legis-
lature passed in 1868 and 1869. Youths
of the Fairmont School District are adj
mitted into the Normal School building
to be taught as q model school under
the provisions of the act Of 1869. which
was procured in pursuance OF .propo.
sition from DR.. Sears, the Secretary of
the Board Of the Peabody fund, which
was, that on condition Model school
was taught, in connection with the
Normal School, in the same building
for ten months in the year, he would, OF
the Peabody funds give $1,000 for its
support, and $500 to the support oil ten
flt students who were preparing tor
teachers; he reserving for the Board Of
the Peabody fund the privilege of dis
continuing the donation at any time.
All the teachers and children of the
Model school are under the supervision
and direction of the principal OF the
Normal School. The District Board
and the Executive Committee have
heretofore acted jointly 10 the employ
ment of teachers and the disbursement
of funds, inviting the principal to their
consultations. The State approprla-
tons to this school, as you are aware,
have been all consumed in the payment
of the principals and the assistants en-
ployed by your Board. The wages
of the other teachers and incidental ex-
penses Of the schools are paid by this
Board out Of the Peabody fund and the
fund OF the school district. All OF
which expenditures will appear from
the paper herewith filed, marked A. In
addition to the Model school taught in
the Normal school building, we have
had two other schools for four months
each year in the district. The Model
school continued ten months. Wepald
teachers $S5 per month. We employed
four teachers in the Normal school
house for the Model school at cost OF
1880. For contingent expenses about
the Normal school and house we paid
S5l4.45. For teaching four months in
each of the other school houses we paid
$3.50 and for contingent expenses about
the same, S74.40, making the total en-
penses of the Board s., 22S.S5. In the
expense account there is a balance OF
$li2.72 paid Prof. Gilchrist. This was
for expense incurred about the school
house, advertising, printing, &c, under
the direction Of the Board. Prof. Gil
christ collected from students, tuition
and other fees amounting to SILT, which
was deducted from the whole amount
paid out by him under direction Of this
Board, as above stated, which left the
balance as stated in the account. A
statement Of all the items of this ac-
count of Prof Gilchrist is herewith
filed for your inspection. The levy for
this school district last year was
Sl790.69. We do not know how much
will be realized out of the same, as the
Sheriff has not vet furnished us with a
statement Of delinquents. This district
received this year $699.SS from the
State school fund. None last year.
