San Francisco May 8, 32 days from this

erly gale, the wind shifting all around
the compass. The foretopmast head
carried away. as well as the maintop-

easterly airs and Gains for twenty days

The present course of study needs
some revision, to which L will call your

these meetings we expect to compare
our course of study with those of the

TEXT BOOKS USED.

YOUR public schools have been in use
nearly twenty years. Since these books
we're adopted. better books, more thor

Prof. Putnam said the water work:
were locked and the KEYS were in the
hands of the janitor and he was the on
ly one who had control of them.
Brown said he could not explain the
trouble at all. "It's new one on me, u
said he.
The professor said he was convinced
that the board was not paying enough
to their janitors. 1t was impossible to
get good men at the wages paid. He
thought $50 month at least should be
paid for the Mesa and Second ward
schools.
On motion of E. G. Pew the salaries
were raised accordingly, beginning
March 1st.'
The board instructed the secretary
to ask A. K. Albers 81 Company for a
rebate on barrel of ink furnished by
them which Prof. Putnam said was not
good.
Prof. Putnam wanted to know what
the board would do about his recon-
mendation for a school exhibit. He
vas in favor of getting the cham Der of

manent exhibit. The board approved
the exhibit and authorized the super
iutendent to go ahead.

Your honorable body is doubtless

of the State Teachers Association is
to he held in Ell Paso. The iudica-
lions are this meeting will be well at
tended. A goodly number of the
strongest men and women in Texas and
New Mexico, and probably Old Mex
| leo, will be here. | am very much
gratifed. indeed, that this association
| Is coming, for [ believe it will be
q stimulus to our people and to our
schools.
A SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
1t has occurred to me that it would
be good advertisement to the town,
| to our schools and to our people gen.
orally to have q general school eXhi-
bit showing the work of our schools
from the Kindergarten through the
high school and put in a conspicuous
place that all who felt inclined to do go
| could see the character of work our
| schools are doing. Our, teachers are
| quite willing to prepare the exhibit,
and doing it without the permission
and sanction of the board. The
exhibit would be prepared and put
on exhibition at the end of the
term and parents would be especially
invited to inspect it. It would remain
for the teachers of The state to see dur
ing their visit to Ell Psso in June. I
believe that good school exhibit put
in a conspicuous place in the city and
allowed to remain there through the
winter, that the hundreds of people
who come here might see and know
what we are doing in school line,
would be one of the best means possible
OF attracting the most desirable classes
of people to make their homes in Ell
Paso. Good schools aud churches are
two of the most potent factors for draw
ing to city the best citizenship.
NEW SCHOOL HOUSE SITES
By referring to the tabulated report
for this month you will observe that
the total net enrolment of YOUR schools
is now about 1850. II the present
growth of the city continues, 1 fear
that you will not have sufficient room
next year to accommodate those who
apply for places. 1t seems to me that
the board should begin to make

school late. Though am happy to say
that we have about fifty cases fewer
this month than we had last month
all told, 1877 cases of January, while for
December there were lob. There
Sc ems to me to be two general plans
to pursue to reduce this evil to a
minimum. One is by different
selves invent to arouse among
the pupils a spirit against it, and
the other is the enforcement of re-
gulation made by the board again st
it. l note with pleasure that in all
the buildings there seems to be very
great regret among the pupils when
one of their number is tardy. Some of
the teachers have introduced q happy
device which 1 like very much, of
keeping little elk flag floating in the
room go long as there are no tardies,
but, upon days when any pupils are
tardy the flag is taken down and not
allowed to be seen for the day.
Pupils coming tardy three times
within one month are dropped and
sent to the Office for restoration. When
these cases are referred to me, either
go to the parent or ask the parent to
come to me, aud the whole situation is
discussed fully. AS a rule l find par
ents fair and reasonable when the
question is put before them plainly,
and L don't remember having had the
same child whose parents 1 have seen
to be referred to me the second time.
But pupils are not sent to me until
they are tardy three times within one
month; hence 1 do not get to see all
parents whose children come late.
DI SCIPLINE.
The discipline or general conduct of
the pupils of your schools seems to me
to be improving. There have been
fewer cases of rebellion, and causes for
severe punishment the present year
than usual. The spirit in most of the
rooms is more like that of well or
eanized family. Teachers are kind,
firm, sympathetic and earnest. Pupils,
respectful, obedtent, polite and studi-
Gus. There have been, however,
number Of cases which we have
whipped and a few suspended. But
when we consider the mum Der of chill
dren with which teachers come in con-
tact, the per cent is very small indeed.

Schools Needed.
The school board met in regular ses-
sion last night for the first time in two
months. There were present DIR. Z. L.
Race, G, r, Morehead, E. G. Pew and
A. G.. Foster. The absentees were E.

o. After the reading and approval OF
the minutes of the last meeting Super
intendent Putnam presented his re-
port for December and January. The
total enrolment up to date is 1S45,
average daily attendance, 14OO; for
December, total enrolment, Jap; at
tendance, 400.
DAILY ATTENDANCE.
Prof. Putnam then said:
The average daily attendance for the
first term of the present school year
was the best, l think. that we have
ever had. All rooms provided with
seats were soon filed when the schools
opened in the fall and remained prac-
ticslly so throughout the whole term.
A few pupils have been on the waiting
list during each month of the term in
the grades below the high school. 1t
has been generally understood among
pupils and their parents that seats would
not be allowed to remain vacant; that Ii
those to whom seats were assigned ex-
pected TO keep them they must come to
school aud occupy them. Another fact
which has done much toward keeping
up good attendance in the schools is
that they have been unusually free
from contae ious and infectious dis
eases. There have been fewer cases OF
smallpox. diphtheria, scarlet fever.
etc, than we have had for years. am
sorry to say, however. that during the
latter part OF the psst month the at
tendance has not been so good on &C
count of the prevalence of measles. In,
some of the rooms quite a number OF
the little ones have had it. just how
far the schools are going to be affected
by the malady is difficult to say, but we
hope the worst of it is about run.
PUNCTUALITY.
One of the greatest annoyances with
which teachers have to contend in the
school room is the lack of punctualfty
among pupils-tardiDess. In spite OF
all the devices which we have been
able to invent, pupils still come to
