THE PuRLIc SCHOOLS:

The schools seem to be in a fourishing
condition.
The number of days taught was 1,62l, of
which 1854 were by regular teachers and
thirty-seven by substitutes.
The number of cases of hardness during
the month was 1903, Of which 292 were
pupils and one was a teacher.
The superintendent made 240 visits dur
ing the month to the schools, the super
visor of music pol, the supervisor of draw
ing l79, the supervisor of penmanship 1863,
friends and parents $40.
Secretary Irwin, of the board of ednca-
ton, has made out his monthly report for
November and it is very creditable to his
taste and ability for it shows, in a compre-
hensive way, the condition of the schools
According to the report there are now 4.011
pupils enrolled, an increase over last
month of 146. OF these 1894 are boys and
2,0S3 girls. The average number of pu-
pills belonging is 1897, an increase of
1O2 over last month: The average daily
attendance $3.50 an increase of 80 over last
month. The average daily absence is 229,
an increase of 10 over last month. Thus it
can be seen that the increase in attendance
is largely in excess of the increase of
absence.
