City huperintendents Report.
Tho city superintendent monthly re-
port was read as follows
LANCASTER, Pa, Sep. z, 1882.
To the Board Of School Directors,
GENTLEMEN: Your city superintendent
reports that tho schools have all been
opened and are in good working order.
The whole number of pupils enrolled is
3,251.
Tho schools on West James street, and
those on East Lemon street are very large
and should be relieved at once.
The number Of pupils in the lower division
Of tho Manor street schools being large,
aEl the rooms were occupied, and Mrs.
Hinnio Raub was temporarily placed in
charge.
Prof. Matz's German and English
school having grown to l37, is too large to
be successfully taught by the professor and
two assistants, from the fact that one
hour daily is devoted by him to giving in
StructiOn in music and German in tho
high school, and his school includes pupils
Of the primary and secondary grades, thus
cOmplicating the management OF the
school very much.
would, therefore, recommend that the
pupils OF tho primary grade be transferred
from his school to Miss Zuercher's, and
that such Of her pupils as do not wish to
study German be admitted into the schools
on Manor street or to Miss JOhustOn's. In
this way relief could be given TO Prof.
Matz. without additional expense to the
district.
Some difficulty having arisen with re-
gard to the teaching of some of the
branches in the new curriculum of the
high school, the city superintendent, at
the request Of the experimenting com
mittec, agreed t. take charge Of some Of
the classes, until other suitable arrange
ments can be made.
Respectfully submitted.
II. X. BUEHRLE.
Tho board proceeded to elect one teacher
for the fourth room in the Manor street
school building and ono for the new schC 81
to be opened in the northern section of the
city. On the first ballot Miss Minnie Raub
was elected to the Manor street school and
on the second ballot Miss Mary Roger
was elected teacher of the new school.
On motion of Mr.. McCOmsey tho prop
erty committee was directed to have seats

around the Prince street schools.
The inattcr of selling tho North Mul-
berry street school property to the city.
