PRESIDENT WEIGHS REPORT.

In presenting to the district the accompa- nying report of accounts by the treasurer, the secretary, and the comprehensive report of the superintendent as to the present condi- tion and future prospects of our schools, the Board of Education calls the attention of taxpayers and parents to the considerable in crease of school accommodations made neces- sary by the rapid growth of the city and the increasing popularity of the public schools.
 In the report made by the Board last year it was stated that the Winchester school building had been increased by the finishing of four rooms, thus gaining seating capaci- ty for two hundred pupils and making this school in all respects equal to the other gram mar schools of the district.
 The raising of the Edwards street school building which was completed about the be ginning of the fall term, gave four addition al rooms, making very creditabIe eight room school
 The increase of scholars in that vicinity is such that all the rooms in that building will be occupied this year.
 The imposing school building on the cor ner of Congress avenue and Vernon street was begun before the close of last year and was completed and occupied in the early spring of this year.
 | This building with the lot and all it's ap- performances and adaptation for the wants of training school has called for a large out lay of money, but it is hoped and believed that when in full operation it will commend itself to the judgment of the district
 A full statement of the objects and use to be made of this school will be found in the report of the superintendent. In order to finish and equip this building for use in all respects it may be stated that the entire cost including lot Is $60,000.
 While some of the school buildings may be crowded, the erection of new buildings dur ing the coming year has not received the ac- tion of the Board. With the present running expenses of the schools tax of at least three mills on the dollar will become necessary and the Board recommends this tax to be laid at the next annual school meeeing.
 With close economy it may be possible to reduce the debt of the district some fifteen or twenty thousand dollars before the close ] of the year.
 The terms of office of Joseph D. Plunkett, Francis E. Harrison and Arthur w. Parme- lee expire the present year.

There is one Englishman vhD has amused
Americans great deal. and instructed us to
some extent, but whom we are permitting to
go unre warded The man l mean is Martin
Farquhar Upper. the -Proverbal Philoso
ply" poet Journalists are accustomed to
make fun of his rhymed platitudes, and
literary men in general rate him among
those writers who are unintentionally CON-
ical; but at his worst he Is harmless. and
at his best he is a repeater OF urd;sputed
moral truths. l bring him up now he
cause he is reported by mutual
frieud II me as impoverished to tie
extent Of actual starvation, ard also tecause
I can doubtless surprise you by The .s-...on
that n million of his books ha We been sold in
this country without the return q him Of

of the very wide circulation of books when
get little or no approval from cultured rsat..
ers. tut the authors have usually secured tie
dollars. though failing to achieve the kind Of
fame which they would especially prize.
That is true of half a dozen novelists But
Upper has made no effort to circumvent
those American pub fishers who have pirated
his works. l asked a man in the book trade
how much the poet ought by right to have
received as royalty in this country.
Ten cents re. volume on al the books
sold, a: the very least YVES the reply. That
is the royalty tumiErli aid 10 authors
whose works have only IL lerate sale and
who are protected by c,a, right from rob

ceiyed sloo,ote during tie past twenty five
years Being a foreign n. CT course, he
couldn't get any copyri h. here, and was a;
the mercy of the publisher. Had he been
novelist, he might have sold the advance
sheets of his books, and thereby gained
slight reward; but his 'Proverbial Philos-
opily' has a permanent. steady sale, and
therefore is not susceptible to even that
