elected him. He asked cooperation of
each member Of the Board. New Castle
will have better schools and the city will
be proud Of them. He reviewed the work
OF tho year and suggested more time for
the principal to visit the schools. BY do
ing so the work Of all the schools was ur-
dor the eye of the principal. He also ia
yored going in for Il deeper study of latin.
He is in favor of mental arithmetic.
II is one Of the finest studies that can DO
taken up, History should commence at
least In the sixth grade. Physiology and
= &ygiene should DO taught more. He felt
that for the high School department with
the preaent corps Of teachers there should
be more hours. Tho teacher of eighth
grade ought to be known rs second as.
sistant. There is no reason why the

rs seconded the nomination. They had
good words to say OF Miss Lunt and if
there is no prospect of promo,i ion before
our teachers for their good work. there is
very poor inducement held out to them.
The principal announced his willingness
TO take charge of the Latin ella ;scs, If the
