leg leave 10 submit the following report
First-Tbe rules governing the employ
ment and payment Of teachers shall re
main as last year with the exception

| tee recommends
That no applicant holding a norma

hereafter be considered eligible for ap
pointment as teacher who has not spent q
least two years at a normal school, pro
vided, however that those who have graG
uated at a normal school in one year sha
be rendered eligible by taking one year
course at the training school,
Fifth-Owing TO lack of proper facil
ties for lower grades, schools have bee
| continually broken up by crowding chilt
rem forward; hereafter all teachers will b
examined to coniine their efforts to wor
required for the grades herein prescribed
ALI Cases for promotion as a result OF thes
| changes will be referred to the superir
tendent.

adopted, tran.fers of teachers may b
made by the SUPERINTENDENT in conjunc
ton with the teachers committee when

school to open one week later, Sept, II.
With regard to school facilities for tn
portion Of Lacliawanna township annexe
to the Sixth ward Of the city, your com
