Weappend the report
10 the honorable mayor and board OF alder
men OF the city OF Dallas
We, the trustees for public schools
for the city Of Dallas, submit the fol-
lowing propositions for your consider
alton and advice;
First, That the city OF Dallas cOnsti-
tutcs one school community with "A
division in each ward.
Second, We propose the school fund
be paid out IN each ward according TO
the number of children within the
scholastic age In each ward.
Third, That the whole fund Uess
contingents, etc., be paid out To the
teachers OF such public schools In the
ward, in proportion to the number OF
children within the scholastic age in
said ward.
Fourth, We consider the fund of
fered exclusively for public free schools
TO which all have "A right to so, ana
we believe all have an equal right to
the bepetlts, and recommend all wish
ing to get the benefits of II TO go there.
Filth. The above consideration ls
based ON the fact that the public iund
for the present year is too small to
allow OF much division, and we FUR
ther suggest that To increase the pay
of public teachers, they be permitted
to charge such rates Of tuition rs they
may agree with the parents for those
children coming over AMI under
scholastic ages, and those who may
study branches higher than those
specified by law.
sixth. Ia selecting locations for the
schools, we propose to select those
places most easy Of access, and the
buildings most suitable for such teach
ing and comfortable for the children
Seventh. In applications 10y two or
more, with equal recommendations aud
qualifications, we propose To lot the
one have II who will teach at the low
est compensation.
Eighth. That we shall employ one
principal and such assistants as we
may deem necessary for each school
Ninth We propose to establish one
pubic school in the First ward for
colored children within the scholastic
ares, and as there are not sufficient
colored children in the Fourth ward
To establish "A school Ia that ward, that
children from the fourth ward attend
the public school In the First ward.
Also, to establish one cOlored school
in the Third ward, aud ~ there IL not
enough culored children within the
scholastic age Ia the second ward that
Ill o-e OF scholastic age In the second
attend the public school In third ward.
All Of which Is most respectfully
submitted.
