REPORT.
To the annual school meeting Of Joint
District No. of the City of Edgerton
and Town of Fulton:
Your school board would respectfully
report to you as follows:
School has been in successful opera
ton for the entire school year Of nine
months
The thirteen teachers employed have
done most excellent and satisfactory
work, so much so that ten of the num-
Der have signed contracts to remain with
us another year. The three vacancies
have also been filled by those coming to
US with high recommendations
The property Of the district has been
greatly improved by cement walks on
two sides, extending to the sidewalks.
The sanitary conditions of the old closet
system compelled the board to remove
the same and put IN the flushing system.
Also the drinking fountains, only two in
number, were found inadequate for the
use of $50 pupils and three additional
ones were put into the building.
In compliance with instructions given
the clerk at last annual school meeting,
to report the actual number Of vista
tlons of each member of the board in
the school rooms during the year, he
would report that he is unable to do so,
as the only source of information is
through the registers Some Of them
show no record whatever of visitations
from anyone, and then, too, other teach
ers have made omissions to the clerks
personal knowledge, and he can only
speak for himself by stating that he has
visited all OF the grades at different
times. This, without doubt, is the case
with the balance of the board
Your board feels the necessity that the
voters of the district be informed of
condition which should have immediate
attention, which is the pressing need Of
more room for the grades below the high
room. The enrolment by grades for the
past year is as follows: Sth grade, 33; 7th
grade, 81: 9th grade, 80; 5th grade 50;
4th grade, 80; 3D. grade, so; End grade,
46; LIST grade. A, so; LIST grade B, Y: LIST
grade @, IS: total, 494.
AS is shown by the above figures, the
size OF the grades makes the combina-
ton of any two of them impossible In
order to provide separate rooms for all
4 these grades it has been necessary to de-
% i've the high school, first OF it's library
an. | Office room. and finally OF its recita
lion rooms.
grh s recitation room is too small to be
lsad 5 grade room except as tempo
-arv ex 1edient, A
t0n RI, sother hand the high school is
.omnaIIs, to work under the tremendous
Asedranfa ge of having no library room
md hnt ors recitation room. Consider
no that +, the high school there are
wentv 5a;I, recitations to be held in
ipbt nar;ods he necessity of two reci-
alton Froon,s ~ high school use only is
ery evidant lso the necessity Of
