Aoy School.

The total enrolment of this building
is APT, being che most crowded of all.
In two of the rooms it was necessary
to hold two separate sessions daily.
with a different set of pupils for each.
In one room there are 104 pupils, in an
other 80. The plan of dividing the
children into separate sections is
working as we'll as we might expect,
but of course, they will not make the
same progress as pupils who attend
| the whole day. l have found the dis
| cipline and general work of the AOy
quite satisfactory. The rooms are
quite, pupils are busy at their work;
and respond quickly to the instruction
given them. l am sorry to state that
Mr.. Kemp was absent for the first
three weeks on account of illness, and
| under he direction of his physician
| was forced to leave the city, but he has
returned now and is at his post of
duty. During his absence, his place
was filled by Miss Higgins, the regu-
lar substitute.
The kindergarten
The total enrolment of this depart
ment to date is 70. The ae0 require
ment. six years, as fixed Dy the board,
has been rigidly enforced. A few par
ents regardless of the regulation, have
tried to get their little ones in, and
have signed entrance blanks declaring
their children six years old when
they were not. Such children, when
we have found out that their ages
were positively mistated, were
sent home promptly. Following is
copy of the entrance blanks which
parents are required to fill out.
The afternoon kindergarten can &C
commodate few more little ones.

The discipline and instruction at this
building are superior l am well pleas
ed with general appearance and man
agement of the Douglas. We expect to
have an excellent terms work down
there.
The Scholastic Census.
l am in receipt of a pamphlet from
department of education giving the Of
fetal prorata assignment of the state
school fund to the cities of the state.
and l find that Ell Paso is allowed p
312 children and $10.9S2. This illimi-
mates 335 children from our returns
and deprives us of 81. 591.zo, or a little
more than Is per cent of the total
emount we should have received. L
desire to submit to the board AL of the
correspondence with the department in
my possession relative to this matter
and to recommend, IL you feel tnaC 1t
wise to do so, that you ask the city
attorney together with the county
Judge to look over the whole situation
and if they feel that they would be
justified in doing so, to take the mat
ter up with the state superintendent
and with him go before the state board
of education and put the whole mat
ter before that body and ask for a re-
insertion of the names that have been
eliminated from Our ratnrnS
Absence of Teachers.

conduct and in making MY rounds
through the rooms, there seems to be
general spirit of kindness AMI ope-
dience prevailing among teachers and
pupils. So far as 1 have seen, in all
the buildings, there is an atmosphere
of order and quiet study th1t is very
gratifying. AS yet, there nave been
no cases of corporal puniShme nt and
no suspensions.

1 am pleased to report that the work
in all of the rooms of the first floor
is progressing nicely. The High school
on the second floor is now divided into
distinct departments with teachers es-
pecially adapted to each, and the work
taken as a whole, is decidedly the
strongest and most satisfactory that
we have ever had. The departments
comprise the -ollowing: History, Latin,
English, mathematics. science. music,
and drawing. The earnest. studious,
respectful spirit that pervades this
school as particularly noticeable and
gratifying.
Franklin.
This building has a total enrolment

4 - and 5tn grades, the third being
transferred to the Alamo. The build
ing is in first class condition and the
general work of the school is excellent.
The per cent of attendance for the
month is 80. Pupils are thoroughly in
terested in their work and are making
fine progress.
Alamo.
In this building are $50 pupils. All
the rooms are occupied. There are
two sixth grades. one fifth. two fourths
one second and one first. The work
at the Alamo is thoroughly organized
in all the rooms, and is progressing
admirably. In visiting the rooms of
this building | am impressed with the
care with which the pupils prepare
their work, and the very close atten-
ton given to them by the teachers. l
am sorry to report that the illness
and death of Miss Harvey's mother
compelled her absence for several days.
She accompanied the remains to their
old home in Missouri. She will re-
turn soon and resume her work.
Mesa
In this building are seven rooms and
six grades. from the first to the sixth
inclusive. All the rooms are filled
and number on the waiting list. In
the third grade there are eight or ten
without desks. They are using tables
and chairs, and 1 find some occupying
the platform for seats. With the eX-
ception of ,he overcrowded condition
of some of the rooms the work at this
building was never better. Teachers
report that children at the beginning
of the term settled down to their stud
les unusually quickly. and from what
] have seen in making my visits to the
rooms. l am impressed with the eff
cheney of the work there.

[ them at home OF course we have
greatly regretted that all children
| could not attend the buildings nearest
| them, but with our present school ia
| cilities and locations of buildings, no
such arrangement could be made, for
there were a greater number of child
rem in some of the districts than the
| buildings would accommodate.
| AS suggested by the board, we Secur-
| ed all the desks to be found in the
city, and placed them in rooms where
| there was space for them. Now, ev-
cry seat in all the buildings, except a
few in the first grade and possibly one
in the sixth grade at the Alamo is oc-
cupied. In several of the other grades
| of the schools there are a number on
the waiting lists.
Children not Living in the City Limits.
1t has come to that some parents
| whose children were transferred to
other districts, or put on the waiting
list. have complained that we were
giving places to children living out
side of the city and depriving resident
children of places that justly belong to
them. Permit me to say that l am
very sorry that such an impression
has gotten out. In accordance with
a resolution of the board some time
ago, We have received, from year to
year. few pupils from without the
city limits, and have collected a small
tuition from mem, which was applied
to the library fund, but so far as l
know not a child has been received
which has deprived a resident pupil
of a place. Whenever they have been
taken. it has been in grades not so
badly crowded but that they could be
given places without interfering with
resident children. The following cir
cular will explain instructions given
to principals on this point
City Hall. Sept. 2S, 1900.
To PrincipalS:-Hereto il has
been the policy of the board to allow
children not living in the city limits
to attend the public schools by paying
a nominal tuition fee. provided that
no child who resides within the city
was deprived of seat by so doing.
This rule will continue until changed
by the board, but desire to emphasize
the fact that all seats in the building
belong first to the children of bona
fde residents, and it is not the inten-
ton of the board to keep any child who
lives in the city limits out of a place
because of the presence of child who
does not live in the city. The board
would be glad to accommodate all who
desire to patronize the public schools,
but when the schools are crowded as
at the present time. we must give pref
erence to our home children. Should
any resident child apply for admis-
sion to your building and you can
give him a place only by giving him
the seat occupied by a nonresident
pupil, you will send the latter to me
and give the seat to the resident
child. If there is no nonresident
child in your room, and you are I'M
able to give the applying pupil place
at all. you will take the name of the
child and residence and send for it
as soon as there is a vacancy always
in the order of their APPLICATIONS.
Very respectfully,
G. p. Putnam.

Assignment of Pupils to Different
Buildings.
One of the most difficult problems to
confront the management of the
schools at the beginning of the term
was satisfactory assignment of pupils
to the different buildings. In COM
pliance with the resolution of the
board at its last meeting, the propos-
ed assignment which was submitted
for your approval was made, and has
doubtless proved to be the best ar
rangement that could have been sug-
gested though it has met with con-
siderable objections. Strong protests
have been made by a number of par
ents against sending their children SO
far. and some have absolutely refused
to do so, preferrng to send their little
ones to private schools, or keeping

But There Is Urgent Necessity For
More Room. And Every Effort
WILL Be Made To Carry the
Bond Issue.-The State School
AppOrilonmen

The school board held a long and
important meeting in the Office of
superintendent Putnam last night.
Before the meeting was called to Or
der by President Morehead the mem
bers entered into a warm discussion
of the bond issue for school improve
ments and for a half hour reviewd the
interviews on the subject published in
The Herald last week. President
Morehead thought the interviews were
timely and would put the people to
thinking of and discussing the matter
which would ultimately result in a vic
tory for the schools.
Superintendent Putnam explained
to the board that those who objected
in their published interviews to the
JuareZ people attending the public
schools on this side We're laboring
under a mistaken idea; that there
We're less than twenty children from
Juarez in the schools this year and
that in every case they were taken
in the grades that were not crowded
He said that all nonresident children
had been refused admittance in every
case where the seats were needed for
residents.
Dy this hour a quorum was present
and the board was called to order and
the minutes Superintendent Putnam
read and submitted his report for the
past month as follows:

OF the extra hours spent this week on the cur

Congress to the inclusion OF Hawaii in that in
