The regular monthly meeting of the City
Board of Education was held at the office
of the Superintendent last evening, all tbs
members present.

ing monthly report High school enroll
ment, las; Sacramento Grammar school
$50; Capital Grammar school, 426; Primary
2,02S; night school, SO. Total, 1921
J French class, 80; German, 25S. Corporal
punishments, SO.
The President of the Board and the CITY
| and County Superintendent were desig-
mated as committee TO arrange for o re-
| cepiion of the teachers OF the State Asso-
citation who hold their annual Convention
in this city in the last week of December
| 1t is estimated that from 800 to 500 teach
| ers viii be in attendance
The Committee on Buildings and Re
pairs was instructed 10 lay sidewalk in
front OF the school property at Twenty
seventh and J streets, SO that teachers and
pupils can get to the school building this
winter without having to wade knee-dee
in mud. The matter had been laid before
the Trustees q number of times, but they
refused to make the necessary improve
ments.
The agents for Yaggy's Geographical
Study, representing the firm of Van Horn
Turner, appeared before the Board to
try and have their Eiaps introduced in the
Sacramento schools. They had certificates
of recommendation from the Principals of
the schools and many of the teachers
warmly indorsing them The Board, how
ever, refused to buy ON the ground that
they had no money at this time that they
could use for that purpose. The Beard
however, all agreed that they were lust
what they needed.
The question Of supplying INDECENT chill
dren with school books was discussed at
length. C. S. Houghton presented bill of
$40 AZ for thatpurpose. The bill was accom-
panied by the vouchers. These were not
signed, except in few instances, as the law
requires, by the parent, Principal and
Superintendent, and the bill was laid over
for one month for investigation. 1t is
claimed by some of the Board that in
many instances free books have been issued
TO parents who were amply able to buy
them
Director Hopkins introduced a Iule ap.
pllcable to the matter, which was laid over
for one month. 1t provides that the order
Tor such books must be signed not only by
the parent, Principal and Superintendent,
but also by two reputable taxpayers who
are acquainted with the circumstances of
the family, and can vouch for their pov-
erty. The Board does not wish to refuse
books to any who are too poor to buy, but
they do propose to shut out all imposition.
The Superintendent reported that the
sixth grade at Thirteenth and G was very
much crowded. One teacher had 81 and
another 56 pupils. 1t was ascertained that
the same grade at Seventh and G could
take few of the pupils. and he was in
structed to equalize the classes by making
some transfers.
II WAS decided to admit no one to the
High School except graduates from the
grammar schools. To do so, the Board
claimed that it would be establishing a
bad precedent.
