I believe, fss fheSe Of our young
people who ~ sd the Normal
schools. ] - have acquired
more modern and , rfect methods of
teaching; aud th~l having gone, as a
rule, demonstrates their interest in the
profession of teaching.
Our buildings are in good condition,
except the old Sixth ward and the
Durkee buildings. These are out of
date, too small and totally unfit for
school houses. They have absolutely
no ventilation and are unhea1thful. 1t
would not be economy to attempt to
add to or rebuild them. If it were only
as easy to do is to know what were
good to do, the question would be
easily solved. Two new school houses
of at least six rooms each would be
built. But with scarcely enough mon
ely on hand to pay teachers salaries
until the collection of taxes again, to
say nothing of other fixed expenses,
we cannot think of this now. How
ever, we should consider the advisable
ity of taking steps to provide for the
erection of one or both of these build
ings in the near future.
We must do something at this meet
ing to relieve the overcrowded condi-
ton of the Sixth ward building.
Gently come to the primary room in
this building, making an enrolment
of seventy-nine, when the room cannot
accommodate nor the teacher reason
ably care for more than fifty pupils.
The Gi11ett building is well filled, and
the only solution appears to be in the
opening of another room in the engine
house.
We must in all ways practice the
strictest economy this year, not that
we would be parsimonious in this best
use of the public money, but the condi-
ton of the treasury as l have indicat-
ed, demands it.
In respect to the purchase and use of
supplies, I believe that we may be able
to adopt some improved business
methods.
Gentlemen, 1 thank you for the
honor you confer upon me IN making
me your president. I shall endeavor
by fairness and impartiality to merit
the confidence of all. Now that we
are organized, hope we shall be able
to work together in harmony for the
good of the public schools.

After the list of committees had been

empowered to employ teacher for the
new room. The Board then adjourned.
