proSemhnts In the line OF repairs OF the
public school buildings which had be-
come greatly dilapidated. The exte-
rior Of the buildings have been treated
to good coating Of brown or drab
colored paint. The roofs have al.o
been protected with fire-proof paint.
An examination OF the roof of the pri-
mary department building. Disclosed
the fact chat the side walls had spread
apart to such IN extern, that the roof
was liable to tall ON tie children. The
walls were drawn back to their place
by mean. Of iron rods passing through
the building. The roof was also re-
shingled. The walls Of the several
school rooms were repaired aud white
va he'd. The wood work Of the lutte
rior and furniture was freshly painted.
The blsckooards In all the depart
ments we're reiaced with a coat Of Stat
ing. prepared specially for that pur-
pose. For u loug time the school has
lacked any suitable place for storing
wood, so THAT IL had to be bought In
small quantities and at high prices.
Du Ing the vacation the Trustees
caused a wood-hou>e to be built In rear
OF the buildings, large enough to hold
two carloads at q time. The teach
era aud pupils, on the opening
OF the schools were agreesbly surpris.
ell 10 tind that the various rooms had
been made so comfortable, neat and
attractive. The ante-rooMs have been
provided with large sized water coolers,
made of galvanized iron. having char
coal filling. The painting. which was
entrusted 10 our nelghbor, Mr.. Jswett,
was done In II very worknsulike man
ner, rs was also tile carpenter work by
Mr. I.%xriviarre. The contract has been
lie; for building a bulkhead Of stone
about six feet high, In front Of the
school yard. When this 10 completed
the yard will be graded oil.
A SURPLUS OF TEAcnERs.-We are
In receipt Of numerous letters from
teachers residing IN all parts Of the
United States. who, tempted by the
apparently high wages paid to teachers
here, are anxious to emlgrate to Ne
vada. These people do not seem to
understand that the cost OF living In
Nevada Is about twice or thrice a
great rs In any other State In the
Union. Teachers don't get rich any
faster In Nevada than elsewhere. La
dy teachers In the primary schools re-
ceive about $50 per month. Now
let us look at the itemSo OF expense :
Board, Including lunch, $35; room
rent, $40 washing, 10; incidentals,
SO; leaving n balance Of five dollars
per month with which to purchase
clothing. etc. 1t must also be borne In
mind that q magnanimous Legislature
last Wiutei passed an Act stopping
the pay o; teachers during vacation.
10 those Of u readers living outside
of the State We say, abandon the idsa
of coming to Nevada 10 teach school.
In this State the business Is already
overione. There are u score OF appli-
cants tor every vacant position.
