1.-THE extra teacher added to the
force of the Central school, Miss Nellie
Hines, in charge of the third and fifth
grades, has been great relief to the
overcrowded condition of those grades.
The addition of Miss Lizzie Evans TO
the corps Of the West Broadway school
at the beginning of the present week
not only made a necessary reduction
in the numbers in the fourth and NTH
grades in that building, but made
room for the transfer of or 10 pupils
from the crowded fourth grade in the
Central school and similar number,
the fifth grade of the Colorado school.
to the West Broadway school. The
dismissal of 40 or so little people from
crowded receiving classes who were
found by reference to the census list
TO be under the legal age has been
great ADVANTAGE. There are stu
teachers laboring with at least a third
more pupils than they can do justice
to- The following have each 90 or
more: Miss Mary Ryan. third grade,
South Butte: Eliza Howells, first
grade, Meaderviile: Annie Stuart, re-
ceiving class. Colorado school; Lillian
Stevenson, second grade. and Grace
Robb, receiving class. West Broad
way; Mrs. Boyd, receiving class, Cen
tennial school. Some OF the above
named have from 90 10 70 pupils, max
ing discipline difficult. individual In
struction insufficient and good santa
tion impossible.

the close of the zenith week or first
quarter, reports will be sent to parents
showing the attendance and scholar
ship in an branches pursued. After
next week the trustees or patrons may
see in my office samples OF the wriuten
work of all grades in each school A
number Of vacancies now exist in the
substitute corps. and 1 would like to
suggest that no more appointments for
this year be made other than well quail
fled and experienced teachers. We
have as many young teachers on the
force al present as IL is safe to carry.
IL is right TO work in certain number
each year of the most worthy of the
high school graduates. but II always
gives a vast amount of extra work 90
the principals and superintendent, and
causes more or less friction with pupils
and parents. and 1t Is apt to prejudice
the best interest Of the school as a
whole. think Il would be a great adj
vantage and a matter Of economy II we
had one strong substitute teacher en-
ployed. capable Of taking the work OF
any PRINCIPAL. and kept employed all
the time. When not doing substitute
work, the principals could be relieved,
so as TO give an opportunity for more
