month Of November was 1858. The
total number enrolled during the pres
ent term has been $3.50, all increase OF
corresponding time of last year.
Notwithstanding the opening of the
Arcade street school. with an enroll
ment of more than 100 pupils, most of
them being transferred from the Cleve-
land school, the constant increase of the
enrolment in this building makes it
necessary to ask for additional school
facilities here. This matter has been
presented to the Committee on Schools
for report. The large enrolment in the
Scheffer school building makes it neces-
sary that another room be opened here.
Mr.. G.. Ii. Congd0n, Superintendent
of Music, deserves much credit for the
attention this subject is receiving UNI
der his instruction. l think the devel-
Opment of this study has been some
what marked. The ability not only to
sing, but also to read music correctly,
as shown by the pupils of the different
grades, shows the character OF the in
sJruction given. l believe that with
proper instruction continued, and the
use of the music readers now in the
hands of the pupils, and the same inter-
est manifested by the teachers as has
been shown, there can be no reason
why the schools of this city shall not
rank equally with those OF other cities

tion the work of each of the SPECIAL
teachers as being carefully prepared
and practically carried into effect.
Respectfully submitted.
