desire to suggest that the large rscl-
tation room in the Madison school be fur
nlshed with seats so as to relieve the
crowded condition of the lower floor of

if not two rooms of this school building.
The number of pupils enrolled in the
| Hendricks school who desire to study Ger
man seems to demand teacher OF German
for that building and | would suggest that
Mrs. IL. Dorm, teaching in that building,
be appointed as such teacher at a small
advance to her present salary. This recon-
mendatlon is from the Superintendent of
German.
desire to mention in the conclusion of
this report the feeling of most hearty CO.
operation with me in the school work which
find exists on the part of the teachers in
our schools. This feeling still more de-

success. Respectfully submitted,
S. S. TAYLOR,
