A GRAND SHOWING MADE
sr 1AE BOARD OF EDUCATION YES
TsRDnY
AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

President Ankeny Submits His
Report, in Which He Com
mends the Free Textbook
Systematic Financial Condi-
ton OF the Board Regular
Meeting Today.
A special meeting of the board Of ed
ucation was held yesterday afternoon,
at which the reports of President An
keny and other officials were presented.
The report of MIR. Ankeny was very
exhaustive, aud it laid special stress
upon the workings of the free text book
system.
In speaking of the financial condition
OF the board, he said:
The funds borrowed, it was believed,
could be repaid from the proceeds Of
bonds to be issued as soon as Legislative
authority could be had therefor. ii.
however, the assessed valuation shall
he reduced, as is now proposed by The
assessors department. there is danger
that the limit TOR bonds will have been
reached, and that no relief can be eX-
pected from that source. In such coll
tingency the only other remedy would
be for the board to mist upon such
legislative action as will for one or two
years allow an additional one mill tax
10 be levied for school buildings and
sites, SO as to fairly meet the absolute
demand for school accommodations. A
limit To bonds, therefore, means higher
tax levy, and it is for those having the
matter i'll charge to determine which
will be the best way out Of the present
IL
tional funds must be provided to meet
this most imperative demand.
call special attention to the fact that
out of tins $4,000 enrolment, 16,507 are
i'll the first three or PRIMARY grades, and
yet in one-third OF our schools only one
half day sessions can now be given to
such pupils. As the superintendent
justly observes, ut is a serious matter
to deprive children of one-haif of their
school privileges" and | would add,
particularly is this the case when those
children are small and by force OF cir
cum5tanceS may aflerward be deprived
of more education.
Alter general review of the school
system he concluded as follows:
In conclusion, may be permitted to
add that the board of education has not
failed 10 appreciate the important fact
that the best test of city'S standing is
to be found in the character of its pub
lie schools. 1t has therefore spared no
pains to make and keep our system a
model system. The time and attention
required To perform the varied duties is
severe drain upon the individual
member. There is not day in the
week, and oftentimeS not all hour in the
day when some matter or other does
not require his attention. Such posi-
tons are deemed honorable, but it is a
serious question whether the public
should demand or receive service Of this
character without atfordiug some, if
even slight, compensation.
The financial condition of the schools
as given in the reports of Secretary NJ
Falk Gjertsen and Treasurer A. G..
Haugan is summarized af follows:
