Upon Col. Heisler calling the attention Of

until the first meeting in September.
Mr.. Fraim, the Chairman on the Normal
School, presented his report as follows:
WILMINGTON, DEL, July 8, 1875.
To the Board Of Public Education in VII
mington:
GENTLEMEN: Owing to the fact that the
Superintendent of Public Schools was alb
sent from the city until this day, I could
not get at the data In time to call the Nor
NAL School Committee together previous to
the meeting of the Board. I, therefore, as
Chairman of the Committee on Normal
school, would report that our annual
teachers examination commenced Eve years
ago. At the same time the Normal School
was opened. Since that time twenty-five
Gates, and over fifty of our teachers have
passed over 80 per cent, and that they may
without any further examination in the ele-
nentary branches obtain permanent certif-
Gates. During the past year there were
fifty-two teachers In the Normal Schools as
pupils. The average nightly attendance for
the past year was twenty-three. ! also find
that the attendance of those teachers
studying the higher branches was much bet.
ter than those Ia the elementary branches.
also find that those teachers who we're
regular in attendance at the Normal School
passed better examination than those who
only occasionally availed themselves of its
privilege. l would also report that the
Normal School, in my opinion, based en-
tirely upon my experience of its workings,
has done much to bring our teachers up to
higher grade of scholarship. To dispense
with this school would be retrograde
movement on the part of the Board, and q
very great injury to our public schools, and
therefore most respectfully and earnestly
recommend that the Normal School be con-
tinued. Respectfully submitted,
r. G. FRAIM,
Chairman of Committee.
On motion of Col. Moore, a committee of
three to look up the missing minutes of the
former Board, and collect the same. Messrs.
Moore, Zebley and Pyle were appointed bv
the chair.
Mr.. Zebley called the attention of the
Board to the request of the Delaware Insti-
tute of Mechanic Arts, for an appropriation
of 500, to enable the Directors of the said
institution to carry on q free drawing
school.
Col. A. Fl. Grimshaw being present, made
brief statement in regard to the workings
of the school, and on motion of Mr.. Eckel,
the appropriation was allowed.
The committee on repairs reported No.
IA in dilapidated condition: and that It
could be altered, six rooms made into four,
at cost of not more than $500. The alter
alton was authorized.
