PROGRESS OF SCHOOLS
IN THE PAST YEAR
Superintendent CLark's First An
nuaI Report
MORE TEACHERS NECESSARY

Prof. +. H. Clark's first annual
report as superintendent of the
Florence schools is in the hands of
the board of education. 1t shows
that the enrolment for the year
ending May 27, 1898, is 902, lit
tie over 81 per cen t of the census
taken year ago. If the enroll
ment the coming year should bear
the same ratio to the recently taken
census, it will be l135.
The average enrolment per
teacher is 53, which, as the super
intendent remarks, is certainly
enough. AT the same average 81
teachers will be needed for the
next year, an increase of four,
Prof. Clark urges that necessary
steps be taken to begin work with
an adequate force. He suggests
Encouragement of the rooms of
the Central school and the renting
of quarters for the high school,
thus making place for three adj
ditional teachers.
A Encouragement of the course
of study, of the rules for the gov
ernment of the schools and selec-
ton of text books is necessary and
action by the board is requested.
The superintendent further calls
attention to former suggestions
relative to fixing a standard of
qualification for tedchers and the
issuance of certificates.
The work of the past year has
been progressive but while the
schools have improved to limited
extent, great advance is yet pos
sible and the superintendent hopes
to be able to raise the actual stand
ard much higher, with the help of
the board.
