IN addition to the above there We're Is
days OF paid substitute work due TO pro-
tracted illness Of teachers.
Within the month the usual inspection
visits have been made to every room in
the city Owing TO considerable sickness
of the grip sort. among pupils and
teachers. the work met with some oppo-
sition within the month. but I am able
10 report at present that the schools are
about to their usual state
The statistical report shows an average
of 46.3 pupils oeach teacher in tho
grades baslng the estimate on the num-
Der remaining to date. which is below the
average nunsber IN school Basing the
same upon the average daily attendance
the average is 42s pupils per teacher IN
the grades. When 1t is considered that
20 pupils is the maximum number per
school for the best results, the statistics
are significant
The import Of this average Is further
emphasized by the fact that the smallest

Today all schools OF the city devoted
a part OF the afternoon 70 a study Of the
life and influence Of Chief Justice John
Marshall. We are pleased to have the
opportunity to can the pupils attention
to the character Of the men whose public
services have been strong factors ia tho
national history.
The Interruptions suffered by absence OF
teachers, due 70 sickness. were well met
by the assistance OF some Of the teachers
from the supply list. 1t IS never expected
that substitute work attains the degree
OF proficiency OF the regular work as no
one can, for a short period.learn at 0ncn
all the conditions OF a room which facts
form part Of the regular teacher equip
ment However. very satisfactory results
were attained by the substitutes within
the past month.
