GiIbert's Report.
Supt. Gilbert's first monthly report
follows:
The superintendent urges the neces-
sity of providing more room in the
several districts which are suffering
very much from overcrowding.
l beg leave to submit to you nv first
monthly report for the school year just
begun.
We have enrolled during September
1854, as against 1872 in the month of
September, 1898, an increase of 1889.
1 call attention to this, not only as an
indication of the growth of the city and
the schools, but to emphasize once more
the need for more school buildings. Not
only are those schools that needed relief
last year in greater need now, but other
districts have become congested. This
nate and is poor economy, tor we have
| to meet now not merely the needs OF the
present but the needs of the past which
| should have been met when they oc.
| cured.
The accompanying table shows the
| crowded schools, and the way in which
| they can be relieved. At present the
! Lincoln and Franklin schools find some
relief in the Washington building. This
| will do for the Franklin, but is very un-
satisfactory for the Lincoln. The Jack.
son is partially relieved by four rooms
rented on University avenue, and the
Madison Is partially relieved by the use
| of two rooms in the manual training
school. OF the others the worst con:
gested, that is. the Cleveland, Van
Buren, and German, have halliday ses
sions in several rooms, as has the Jack
son, in addition to the rooms rented.
| The other buildings are not relieved
at all, but are in a dangerously crowded
condition.
recommend that all possible steps
be taken to again bring this need of the
city to the attention Of the proper
authorities and see If money can bt
secured for buildings. l observe tina,
one branch of the city council ha:
already passed upon tax levy for the
current year, in which no provision fol
school buildings has been made. Unles.
am mistaken, If this is finally adopted
no building would be possible for an
other year. hence, l urge immediat,
action. Respectfully submitted.
