ton. Your COMMITTEES recommend that a
new building be erected on the premises
/ as soon as the finances OF the county Will
I warrant IL. there being space for any such
\ improvements. They would recommend as
I a matter of economy and health that the
I entire building be heated by steam instead
/ of by stoves. the latter in many instances
I being unsatisfactory in'eyery respect.
Barnard Street SchooF-There exists an
| imperative necessity at this school for
more accommodations and your COM
mittee would urgently recommend. II
/ possible. the purchase OF the lot in the
/ rear of the present building and the cree
] ton of a suitable school building. The con-
/ dition f'the water closets IS Very unsatis-
| factory and your committee recommend
/ that before the beginning OF another ses-
/ sion that they be removed from their pres
| ent location and that the accommodations
be enlarged and constructed on hygienic
/ principles.
Henry Street School-This is by far the
| most satisfactory and best constructed
school building in the city. Owing to its
/ recent erection IL has been impossible 10
/ provide the necessary shade mees. Your
/ committee would, therefor, recommend
/ that before the beginning Of another ses-
/ sion that more trees be planted and that
/ until these furnish the necessary shade
suitable awnings in the yards be provided
| for the use of the children during recess.
| Massey SchOol-Recent improvements
/ have been made at this school which nave
/ to a large extent corrected its previous
/ deficiencies. Your committee learns that
/ il is the intention OF the board OF educa-
/ ton to remove the water~closets from
/ their present location TO one more remote
| from the building and your committee
| recommends that this be done before the
/ opening of the next session.
| Cathedral School-This school your COM
/ mittee finds in excellent condition with the
| nf he q hp
closets, which is very objectionable, and
| they urgently recommend that this matter
| be given attention by the board Of educa-,
! ton before the opening Of the next ses-
sion. They would also suggest that the
| board of education have an additional
| window made In one of the school rooms
to secure necessary light and ventlla-
ton.
ST. Patriclrs School-The accommoda-
/ tons of this school have been greatly in
| creased by the erection of building in
| the rear OF the old structure Your COM
mittee recommend that the board of edu-
/ cation have the water closets changed to
| conform to the usual requirements for
well ordered schools they being very de-
fcient.
East Broad Street School-This is a
| comparatively new building and with the
exception of the four basement rooms no
| exception can be taken to light and ventil-
/ alton. The water closet in the boys yard
was found to be in very bad condition, un-
avoidably so, perhaps, on account of the
/ very restricted accommodations there be-
| ing about three hundred and fifty boys in
this school, Additional facilities in this
respect should be given to this school.
and your committee strongly recommends
| it.
West Broad Street School-rhis school
building the gift Of the late G. w. J. De-
| Renne for the education of the colored
.1.ff
| and il is impossible to make a satisfactory
school building out of 1t. The light and
| ventilation in many of the rooms are very
deficient, but there is no practicable way
| of correcting them except by the tearing
| down of the entire building and the cree
ton of modern structure which the pres
ent condition of the county finances will
| not permit.
Anderson Street 6chool.-The building
| in which this school is conducted has been
rented by the board of education to meet
the demands Of the colored school popula-
! ton. Its occupancy has been of only five
months duration and this building is al
ready filed to its greatest capacity. Your
committee strongly recommend the pur-
| chase of this building and the adjacent lot
upon which a suitable building can be
erected as soon as the county can furnish
| the means.
Isle of Hope School-Your committee
examined this school building and found
it to be in a very dilapdated condition,
| being too old to repair and not having the
| ordinary conyeniences of a school build
| ing or the necessary comfort for the health
Of the children. There is sufficient popula-
| ton in that locality to warrant the cree
ton of a new building and your commit
tee recommend that the present build
| ing be torn down and new wooden struc-
ture be erected at a reasonable cost. Your
committee have been unanimously inn
| pressed with the excellent department of
the children and general good order OBJ
| served in all of the schools The super
! iority of instruction is very noticeable, re-
| hecting, as it does, much credit on the
| board of education, superintendent ana
| teachers. IN this respect IL affords your
committee great pleasure in submitting
| this report. In conclusion, your commit
tee would add that the increase in the
number of school children is very appar-
ent and larger appropriations will be re-
! CURED to provide the necessary public
| school facilities for every class Of our citi-
zens, which they naturally expect and
| will require. Your committee believes that
| there is nothing mere conducive to the
prosperity of this county than a liberal
and conservative policy on the part of the
taxpayers towards the public schools.
