From the Committee on German
ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 3, 1892.
TO the Board of School Inspectors. st. Paul,
MINI.
GENTLEMEN: Your Committee on German,
to whom was referred the matter of longer
hours of instruction in German in the gram
mar grades. beg leave to report as follows:
We find that without increasing the ex-
pense it will be possible to lengthen the
time of Rotations to forty minutes day for
each class, which time we believe to be as
long as child Of the age of children in the
Seventh and Eighth grades can, with profit,
give to the continuous study of one subject.
We therefore recommend that MIR. Eisfeldt
be taken from the Quincy school and as
signed to work in German, and that the
Superintendent be instructed to see that
forty minutes is allowed for each German
recitation throughout the city.
Respectfully submitted.
G. STANM, Chairman.
On motion Of Inspector Smith the report
was amended by the introduction of clause
provide where possible for two Rotations in
German per day, of twenty minutes each. in
stead Of one recitation Of forty minutes; ana,
as so amended, was adopted and confirmed
by
Yeas-Inspectors Bridgman, Smith, Stamm
and Mr.. President-4.

To the Board of School Inspectors, st. Paul,
Mum.
GENTLEMEN: In obedience with the order
of the Board passed at the meeting Aug. 29,
1892. we beg leave to present the following
report of schedule of salaries for janitors:
According to this schedule the total cost of
the care of the buildings for the current year
would be S32 070. which is a saving of s., $50
more than the $1,000 required; this is done
without reducing the salary OF any janitor
below reasonable figure, in some cases Civ
ing them more than they formerly received,
and making each janitor. with the exception
of the one in the High school, responsible
for the entire building, and paying him
enough to allow him to employ such assist
ants as he needs. III several instances we
have given him more in the winter than in
the summer because of the increased work.
We recommend that for services in night
schools, janitors and engineers be paid the
same salary as heretofore; engineers 81 per
night, Janitors IS cents for one room and -
cents a room for more than one room, pro-
Tided. however, that no janltor receive more
Than 81 per night
We recommend that the Supervisor of Re-
pairs be constituted Supervisor Of JanitorS,
that il be made part of his duties, as he
visits The different schools. to see that the
work CT the janitors is properly performed,
ana, when necessary, to instruct janitors in
their duties, and to report to the Committee
