In room No. II, of the new school
building there are slxty-seven pupils
and only seats for sIxty-two In No. 8
there are seventy-elght pupils and
only seats for nfty-four In the latter
room eight or ten of the pupils have to
sit on an old bench with no desk, and no
place except the floor fortheir books.
Certainly this Is not right, ana shoulu
be remedicd in some way. Ihere Is
an average Of fifty-ive pupils for every
room inthis building. No teacher can
do good work with so many. Prot. VIII
llams says he cannot get good results
under existing circumstances. put II lie
had another teacher, for which he mas
asked the board. he could arrange
everything satisfactory. The parents OF
the pupils in the rooms more crowded
are not satisfied, and desire that some
steps be taken to give their children
equal chances with other children.

treated, and how abundantY all are
provided for under the new admlnistra-
