der end Richardson.

tanning wall which is being placed be-
tween the property of Mrs. Hill and
the Marion street school building.
SUPBRINTENDENT'S REPORT.
The Superintendent reDorted the
purchase of 27 new school seats at
$500 apiece.
Superintendent Williams gave some
interesting figures in regard to the
number of books in the Public School
Library and the additions which have
been made during the past two years.
On September l of the present year
there were catalogued 1,177 books.
Since that time 80 new books have
been purchased and an order has been
given for 10 additional books, thus
making the total number of books reg
istered in the library 1897. Just exact
ly two years ago yesterday the High

public school children. AT that time
About 500 books comprised the entire
literary equipment. Heretofore the Ii
brary has only been accessible to pup
lis of the seventh and eighth grades
and to the High School students. But
after Jan. the Superintendent has de-
termined to allow pupils of the sixth
grade this privilege. Since Sept. IL
1885 issues of books have been made,
or an average of 80 per month. On
some days the applications for books
run up to so per day.
These figures speak for themselves
and clearly demonstrate the great ben
eft the library is to the school child
rem of the city. Of the available sum
of $3.50 which is devoted to the library
fund only $14O has been spent this
term.

support from contributions made by
the teachers. during the existence of
the library 622 issues of books have
been made to the teachers alone.
The Superintendent presented the
draft of several new rules which he
necessary to the manage
ment of the school system. They will
be inserted in the printed form of the
Rules and Regulations for the govern
ment of schools, a cony of which will
be furnished to each teacher. Upon
motion of Eyssen the rules were ad-
opted and ordered made a part of the
regular school rules.
