SuDt. KaIer Submits the Annual
Report.
Other Important Mat
ters Considered.
Social and Personal Items OF
General Interest.

The last regular monthly meeting OF
Hhs present school board was held last
evening and was presided over by Mayor
Reynolds. Messrs. Weeks and Lombard
absent. A large number OF current
bills were read and approved and the
special committee appointed to draw
up the annual report submitted the
same through the superintendent, j.
Otis Kale.r The report dealt In very
exhaustive and comprehensive way with
the details of school management and re-
ferred TO the grading of the schools and
its importance, to the interest In the
monthly meeting OF the teachers and to
the svil of truancy and the necessity
of parents using their utmost endeay-
ors TO check the same. The total mum
bes of pupils enrolled is 1855 and the
number OF days lost was 1852, an
avearge of 10 $40 for each pupil de-
crease OF about one half from the figures
of last year. The report says; 10 allow
the child to remain away from single
session save in the most urgent cases is
doing him positive injury" An elabo-
rate statmeDt OF school expenses is in
oorporatsd into the report from which
1t appears that the cost per capita Of
High school ia $3.50, and common
school Sl2.25 asE against SIS 10 the preced-
ing year The aggregate cost OF main
tsining the schools is increased, but this
arises from the increased number OF pu-
pills enrolled. Adequate heating appara-
tus is recommended for the High school
building and needed repairs In certain
schools in the Pleasantdals district. The
report was accepted as the report of
the full board.

OTHER MATTERS.
Superintendent Kaler s.atsd that a bill
amounting to SCOT 40 for tuition of Cape
Elizabeth pupils in South Portland
schools. had been presented and been
paid by the town authorities.
A retltlon was received from the nu-
pills in the grammar grades at knight.
Vile asking that their school be known
as the Rogers school. A like request was
made that the school on East High
street he called the Kaler school. Dr.
Brown suggested that it would be better
to name the schools OF the city so as to
commemorate some event of local his
tory, and Superintendent Kaler was
quite eloquent In his reference to the
