the educational powers of our schools,

We are opposed TO the general open

for the purpose of accommodating the
scholars that are attending rented
rooms, called annexes.
The expenses for salaries of this year,
based upon the pay roll of December,

GENTLEMEN: Your Committee on
Schools begs leave to make the follow
ing report and communications:
We recommend thatapplicants for adj
mission to the public schools of st. Paul
shall be received at any time and shall
be placed in the grades for which they
are most nearly qualified; that in the
pplication of this rule no dissemination
shall be made against children applying
for admission to the lowest grade.
With reference to the October pay
roll, which was referred to this COM
mittca un yyOnld rpnOrt tha Wp haVQ
investigated the same, and find the er-
rOrs were due to an incorrect inter-
probation of the published schedule of
salaries and the rules governing the
payment of teachers, which were form
erly not sufficiently explicit. but were
made SO by resolutions of the Board at
it's meeting November 8, 1890. We rec
ommend that in making out the checks
for the payment of teachers for Janu-
airy, 1891, the errors upon the October
pay roll be corrected as follows:
That $3.50 be deducted from the check
of Miss Cunningham, of the Baker
school.
That Sc be deducted from the check
Of Miss Stewart, of the Murray school.
That s. be deducted from the check
of Miss Asp, of the Logan school.
That s. extra be paid to Miss Forrest,
| formerly of the Scheffer school.
! That So extra, less $3,substitute's pay
for two days, be paid to Miss Krieger,
formerly of the Van Buren, school.
That 81 extra be paid to Miss Roth,
formerly of the Neill school.
That S1.25 extra be paid to Charles
Bunde, janitor of the Robert A. Smith
school.
We also recommend that s5125 be
paid to Miss Madigan, principal of the
Robert A. Smith school. to cover errors
which have been made in the payment
of her salary.
In the matter of the resolution calling
for the appointment of an executive
committee, introduced by Inspector
Heinemann at tie meeting of November
18th and referred to this committee, we
would make the following recommends
ton: Since the resolution introduced

of three, and practically including the
subject matter OF the one referred to
US, has been referred to the Legislative
Committee, we would recommend that

ferred to this same committee.
We recommend that the following

From the Superintendent of Schools
ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. s. 1891.
To the President and Members of the
Board of Education.
GENTLEMEN: l have the honor to
herewith submit my report for the
school month of December. 1890. The
total enrolment for the month was
1926, an increase over the correspond
ing month of last year of 1897. The en-
rollment for December is always one of
the smallest of the year. The total
number of admissions to date are 1896,
an increase of 313 over November and
1918 over December, 1889.
My report for this month will be very
brief. The matter most in mind is that
of economy, and as the various com-
mittees of the Board have been devOting
time and thought to this subject, any,
thing that | could say at this time
would add very little to their reports,
which will come later.
In general, | desire TO say, however,
that economy should be practi ced rather
by cutting Off eXcreScenceS and bar
nacles of the system which have attached
themselves as the result of custom or
popular pressure, and by great care in
the purchasing and issuing supplies,
than in general reduction of salaries.
The salaries paia in st. Paul, as COM
pared with other cities, are not high:
but theeXpenSe of living in st. Paul, as
compared with other cities, is very high.
The average school teacher receives
no more than proper support for her.
self.
/ think it possible that, without injury
to the schools in certain quarters, the
number of pupils per teacher can be in
creased, and that certain of the higher
grades, now thinly attended, can be cut
off. Certainly it is economical to have
higher grades in a few central schools
10 which other surrounding schools of
lower grades shall act as feeders. This
was the original policy of tine Board,
but was gradually, to certain degree,
abandoned, as the result of strong
pressure brought upon the Board by
citizens of the ditferent~-sections of the
city, and it is fair to say that these citi-
Zens who have brought such pressure
are responsible for whatever of unnec-
essary expense has been incurred in this
way.
Further than this general suggestion,
j leave the entire matter to the COM
mittees Of the Board, who are better
able to handle these questions.
Appended is table of statistics.
Respectfully submitted.
