appeHdageS that have been attached for
the very purpose of filling the schools
and crowding out the regular classes.
The kindergartens are so poorly
attended in winter that it is a
waste OF fuel. not to mention
other expenses connected with them,
to keep them open during this season of
the year. The congested condition of
the schools SO much depiored by the
superintendent has been brought about
by his mismanagement in districting,
elosing some building in order to over
,tfow others; and in the addition to them
of every possible fad his fancy or whims
eould suggest. The schools are not SO
badly congested as are his statistics.
l. The congestion should be relieved by a
little letting out. Suppose that a be-
ginning be made by letting the superin-
|, tendent out, and cure "congested" and
/ }',congested'' records by the same REM
lyedy.

cOmpanied by numerous tables, was re-
