The total enrolment for the month
in the German schools was 525, with
number OF classes ~, with $50 pupils OF
German parentage and 26G not of Ger
man parentage. In connection with the
regular school report Superintendent
Anderson appended recommendations
of which the following is a substantive
extract:
Article Is of the act under which our
schools were established give the Board
of Education power TO establish hgh
school, and provides that until such high
school shall be established the higher
branches shall be taught in the grammar
schools of the districts
have given this subject much thought,
and have examined the school system OF
many of the cities in almost every State OF
| the Union, and am convinced that with
high school the higher branches will be-
taught more successfully and economically,
and that the grammar and primary schools
would have better supervision, and De pet
ter also. / ask careful consideration OF II.
Some time ago ! recommended TO the
Board the purchase of some good chemical
and philosophical apparatus, TO be kept IN
central place for the use Of all the schools.
| believe this will be of great value, and
now recommend the same again.
In view of the fact that we had one week
of Institute in September and that our
teachers have access TO the very best OF
educational literature in our public library,
besides the periodicals on the subject OF
education and the methods of mparting 10,
| think the grade meetings might be dis
continued after the end Of the present
month.
1t was moved that the recommends
tionS be received and filed, the recon-
mcndatiOns referring to dispensing with
the grade meetings adopted, and that
the other recommendation be referred
to the appropriate committees.
The Librarians report showed that
the circulation for the month was 4.771,
room interchange of 1896. The sum Of
Sl5 was received in fines.
President Jcpson then called atten-
ton TO the matter of admitting non
resident pupils to the public schools.
Mr.. JepSon said he had ease that
came under his personal attention re-
Gently about which seemed to be a dis
pute. Uudcr article four Of the gen
eral rules it appears that nonresident
members may be admitted on the pre-
sensation OF certificate from the
proper authorities. the regular amount
| Of - for the current term. or -
| for ANYTHING less than term To be paid,
or they may be admitted upon the pre- |
sentatiou Of a card showing that the |
parents or guardians pay the amount OF /
SO or more in taxes. The case that /
came to the attention Of President Jep- |
son was where the parent paid tax In /
corporation amounting to over SO, |
and yet reference to the Sheriit's books |
will NOT find the man individually cred
tied with that amount. The question
was whether a tax paid that way in
corporation would be recognized.
DIR. Park was OF the opinion that the
individual in this case did not pay the
tax, that it was the corporation, and
that if everybody that had stock in cor
poraton amounting to SO aud over was
recognized the schools might be- Hooded
with outside children.
On motion Of Mr.. Miller the question
was referred to the Committee on
Rules.

Clerk Hall then suggested that If the
Board was going to have the Legisla-
ulre take the school census and emu
meration. now was the time To act upon
il. as many OF the scholars are out OF /
town in July, and the full share OF the
