To the Honorable

10 the Honorable
Board of School Commissioner:
The undersigned Trustees of the Elkton
Public School, are very reluctantly COM
PEELED to ask the attention of your Board
to the condition of the building in Elkton
known as the Public School House.
The Trustees for the past two years have
at various times laid the condition of the
building before you, but being fully aware
of the immense pressure brought to bear
upon your Board in favor of similar de
mands from every sc ction of the county,
have waited patiently fer a more suspicious
day.
But now it seems certain, that the house
cannot be used another season without
extensive repairs involving considerable
cost; that the condition of the building
has affected the health of some of the
pupils to such an extent as to induce their
parents to keep them at home on that
account in inclement weather; the roof is
thoroughly rotten, allowing the house to
be saturated with water every heavy rain;
the windows, doors and floor are worn out,
and if the building is not repaired during
the Summer it will be impossible to teach
public school in the present house after
this term. p. G. STRICKLAND,
GEO r. HOWARD,
DANIEL BRATToN.
