 PUBLIC SCHOOLS
 To II. E. Cullum, Foreman of the Grand Jury of Pima County, 4. T.: We, the committee appointed to investigate the affairs of the public schools of this county, beg leave Co report as follows, to wit We find from the records, in the office of Judge John $. Wood, ex OfficIo County Superintendent Of Public Schools, that the schools of the county are all m a prosperous condition and doing good service in the cause of edu- cation.
 We have examined the books and rec ords of the County Superintendent, and find them kept in a thorough and busi- ness-like manner, and the Superintend- ent deserves to be compimented.
 With regard to the affairs of School District No. of this county. We have examined the records in the office of the Secretary and find them correct. From the records in the Secretary's of- fee We find that the Board has pur- chased Block No. lcl for the proposed
 
 upon the southeast corner of the Mili- tary Plaza and fronting thereon. We have examined the plans and specified tions of tine proposed new school build- ing. and believe that a building erected in accordance herewith wIll be well adapted to the use for which 1t is In- tended.
 Upon visiting the school we found # in excellent condition, the pupils being orderly, we'll diciplined and studiOus. The graded systemintroduced two years ago has been carried into effect. and IS producing good results; the principal and assistants are all earnest in their work of educating the children. The people of the city of Tucson may well be proud of their public school. As to the number of children in attendance, we find that it has somewhat diminislt since the heated term began.
 From the report of the Principal for 1882 and 1883 We gather the following statistics whole number of children enrolled from September, 1881, to Janu- ary, 1882, 2Sl; whole number enrolled from September. 1882, to January, 1SS2, 3j3-increase, 72. The whole number enrolled for the month of January, 1882, 2j3:Swhole number enrolled for the month of January, 1883, 31S-increase. IS.
 The Principal also adds The increase here noted is not altogether due to the growth of the city; our daily registers show that most ot the new pupils come from tine families of those who have re- sided for two years o- more, but have never before attended tine public school. This indicates a growing confidence in the public mIud as regards the school. II is tn be regretted, however, that our school buildings are inadequate to the wants of the school, and further in- crease in attendance impossible.
