Board of Education

Education Meeting August 9th.
The following report of the Superipten-
dent was read and on motion approved:
To the Honorable Board Of Education
GENTLEMEN: In pursuance of your re-
quest to consider whether we might in the
ensuing school year, dimish the number of
our teachers without detriment to the youth
attending our schools, and without incon-
venience to the teachers employed, I re-
port the following facts
Union School No. 2, during tie last term
had an enrolment of only 2O7 pupils, and
that this low number is rot al exceptional
one, is proved by the comparison of the sta
tistics of at least four preceding terms
Union School No. l, last Term, had an en-
rollment of 453 pupils, little less than the
average of preceding terms. Now by send
ing 80 pupils from Union School No. over
to Union School No. 2, the latter school will
receive an enrolment proportionate to the
six teachers there engaged, and Union
School No. l will be relieved of inst about
that number, which now causes some of its
| rooms to be overcrewded. In that case the
Third intermediate Grade in Union School
NO. |. whose maintenance is not essential
to our Graded Course, may be discontinued
ana the respective teacher be spared, saving
to the School Fund an annual expense of
from 300 to $50 dollars.
In taking the census l have found that
the number Of children in LIST and I'd streets
and the streets crossing them, in Wards LIST
and I'd, attending Union School No. l.,
amounts to between fifty and sixty. 1
therefore propose the following two resolu-
tions
|. Resolved, That the City be and the
same is hereby divided into 4 School Wards
as follows, to wit:
lst.. The children of the lst and I'd Wards,
except those residing on list and I'd streets
and the cross streets between said ID stree is
and the river. in said Wards and all the
children OF 9Th and 7th Wards belonging to
Grades higher than Second intermediate and
al the children of the whole city belonging
to the high school, are hereby apportio ned
to Union School No. L.
I'd. The children belonging to the Sd,
4th and 9Th Wards and all those residing in
lst and I'd streets in LIST and I'd Wards, and
excepted IN the preceding paragraph. are
appo-tioned to School No. q.
3D.. The children of the 9Th Ward belong
ing to grades below the First intermediate
70
4th. The children of the 7th Ward De-
longing to grades below the First uterine
dlate are apportloned to the 7th Ward
School.
IL. Reso1ved, That the Sd Intermedi ate
Grades in Union School No. an No. 2 are
hereby discontinued and the Third Ia
termediate Grade in Union School No 8, is
and shall hereafter be styled the Second In
termediate Grade of said school.
The following resolution was presented
by the Superintendent and on motion adopt
ed.
Resolred, The Superintendent is hereby
au thorized to assign to the teachers of the
Public schools such services in any other
grades than the one to which they have
been appointed, as he may deem them fit
successfully to perform, and all the teachers
are hereby directed to obey his arrange
ments in this respect, provided they are not
required to leave the school to which they
belong, in order to perform such service.
