REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT.
After introducing the matter, Mr..
Woodbridge says:
"The growth and efficiency of our
schools is matter for just congratu~
lation; but excellent as they now are,
much needs to be done to bring them
up to that standard of greater excel
lence to which we aspire. Especially
is this true in regard to school build-
ings, and school furniture and appli-
ances. In these important regards
we are but poorly equipped; and l
trust your next and greatest attention
will be given to procuring more and
better buildings, and more and better
furniture, fixtures and apparatus for
the Austin public schools"
