public schools We're elected at the adj
journed meeting of the board Saturday
night. All of the seventy positions were
filed, with the exception of five. Three
of these are in the grades; one is in the
high school. and the other the substi-
tute teacher. The board is we'll pleased
with the selection of teachers, and 1t Is
the opinion that the schools will pros
per next year to a greater degree than
fact that so many of the teachers now
employed are retained for the coming
year. and. having had one year under
Superintendent Crane, will be better
able to carry out his advanced ideas
along educational lines because of the
experience gained.
superintendent Crane submitted his
report to committee on teachers and
salaries, after which the formality Of
electing those recommended took place
The superintendent report is as fol-
lows:
Marshalltown, Iowa, May 16, 1902
To the Committee on Teachers and
Salaries, Mr.. A. G.. Click chairman
Gentlemen: l hereby submit to you q
report upon the corps Of teachers and
salaries for the coming year. l would
call your attention to the fact that we
have now filled all the places except
one place in Latin in the high school,
n In, ba ND
one vacancy in the regular substitute
to be provided for next year. For all
those places, except that of the regular
substitute, we are in correspondence
with likely applicants. and shall be
ready TO report to you within a few
days in regard to these persons.
Upon computation / find that the
amount of salaries thus far provided
for, including that of superintendent.
will be s36,012.5O. The four places to be
filled will probably aggregate $4,000,
making the schedule of salaries, includ-
ing that of superintendent, for 1903
1904 about $3S.51250. or about the
amount of increase which was esti-
mated.
Il would say in conclusion the thing
which have said SO many times before,
that the successful school depends al
most absolutely upon the successful
character of its teachers. If the teach
ers be successful the school succeeds
without reference TO anything else.
Without successful teachers, the school
fails no matter whatever else there may
be. We have exercised the EXTREMIST
care in the choice OF new teachers, and
tto hea M ry-
each one of them is teacher of the
highest class. We therefore expect to
have next year one of the most success
full years in the history of the Mar
shalltown schools, as the corps of
teachers who remain are very enthu-
siastic, and those who have been added
are equally so. several having come to
us at a sacrifice of higher wages ana
higher rank in order to get into our
work here.
'In conclusion / express my pro-
foundest thanks to the board for its
splendid and loyal support of me ac-
cording to the promise made when it
rendered ME this position. l promise
you on the part of the teachers and
myself, the most self-sacrificing, pa
tient and earnest effort to make the
schools of Marshalltown such that the
board and citizens will have cause to
point to their schools with pride.
Sincerely yours,
"WILLIAM l. CRANE"
