The report was adopted.

Supt. Gray presented his report for
the past year. The enrolment has
AVERAGED about 100 less than any OF
the previous four years, and ranged
from 1886 to 100. Average attendance
has ranged from 756 to 700. Estl-
mates for '96-7 must be based on
ls94-5 instead Of past year, he thinks.
He reported the following holding
certificates to teach in the city
schools;
First grade-W, H. Wagner J. II.
Niesley, Margaret Wilson
Second Gradc-Mary Lesher, Addie
Over, Nettie Gcauque, Jessie Thayer,
May Bruckhart, Annie Elston, Bertha
Jacobs.
Third grade-Bertha Perring, Lois
Mutt, Emma Hasshagen, Lille Jack
son, Beatrice Waring, Daisy Ballet
State certidcate-May Russell.
Regarding the training school he
says;
"Of the nine pupil-teachers who
entered the training school eight
months ago eight completed the
course and six applied for city certili-
Gates at the last examination. The
work Of the training school was much
the same as was done in the cores
ponding grades in the other schools
Of the city. The work for each Of the
grades in the city above the chart
and below the eighth was carefully
outlined by your superintendent each
week and each grade in the training
school did exactly the same work as
the corresponding grade or grades
under the regular teacher. Not only
was the range Of work in the training
school the same but in no grade OF
the training school did the character
Of the work fall below the standard OF
the regular schools. These pupil
teachers have done their work faith
fully and well and it is but proper
| that the board should show its ap-
proval Of the training that they have
received and Of the work that they
have shown themselves capable Of do
ing by filling all vacancies in the sub
ordinate positions in the city schools
from their numbers.

adelpkia Ledger says edgar Will
son Nye was not one of the worlds
great statesmen, philosophers or
soldiers; he did not teach it any
thing new or useful; but he did
what is less easy than this-he made
it laugh, and it is for this that the
word mourns his loss today and
will keep his memory green hereaf-
ter. His humor was not always of
the refined kind, but, on the other
hand, it was never indicate. 1t
was burlesque rather than high
comedy, but it was not horse play,
and still less was it offensive to NOR
ais. Such as it was. however, the
world has not so much of it that it
will soon cease to regret the death
of one of the foremost humorists Of
the day."
