The following report was presented
and on motion adopted after being
amended giving the board power to

adviseable:
EDGERToN, WIS. July 6, 1903.
To the Honorable Chairman, Members
of the Board Of Education, and the Pa
irons of Joint School District Number
Eight:
We, the undersigned members of the
committee appointed at the last school
meeting, to look up and devise means for
additional school room, to overcome the
spectfully submit for your kind consid-
Grafton as follows:
First. After making thorough can
vass Of the city, we find that our city is
not sufficient in size to warrant it in
maintaining separate or ward schools, as
the number OF pupils in the different
maintaining such schools, as there would
not be sufficient pupils to employ teach
ers, and maintain a school building for
each ward, as it would greatly increase
the expense OF maintaining our schools
and would not materially relieve the
present congested condition OF the pres
ent building.
Second. Your committee has made a
very thorough canvass of the city, trying
to locate suitable sites to submit to you,
for the purpose of erecting four-room
primary school building, which we have
been unable to find; several places hav-
ing been suggested, but none of them
have had sufficient capacity or proper
surroundings to appeal to us as what we
ought to have.
Third. The theory of building sep
arate high school building has also been
very thoroughly looked into, and your
committee found there was no limit to
the objections raised by citizens on that
point, so we saw that it was useless to do
more along that line.
Fourth. It has also been suggested
that outside rooms be rented and fitted
up for temporary school purposes, but in
our opinion this is not feasible for the
following reasons: 1st. No such rooms
have been suggested that were not un-
sanitary and totally unfit for school pur-
poses End. Even if such rooms could
be obtained, the cost OF maintaining
them would exceed the interest on a

proved:
To the annual school meeting of Joint
District No. 8, 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. So gratifying were the results
that your board voted to re-elect the en-
tire corps of teachers, but owing to vari-
Gus reasons on the part of the teachers,
five out Of the fourteen in number de-
clined to return. These vacancies have
been filed by those coming to US with
exceptionally strong recommendations.
We are pleased to report steady

attested by the enrolment In the high
room rs, gain of IA; in the grades $50,
a gain of 81. The enrolment in the six
lower grades shows total of 379, or an
average of So. OF that number, Grade

"a; Grade &c, IS.
In accordance with advice from the
state department at the beginning Of the
winter term. 3rd assistant was secured
so that the principal might devote the
required portion OF his time to the grade
supervision, and also lessen the strain on
his two assistants, which at that time
was very noticeable.
The property of the district has been
kept in good condition. New seats were
bought for one room to take the place of
those badly broken and unfit for use.
Several new library cases had to be fur
nished for library books which the law
requires US to buy each year, there being
no more available room in the halls and
being without library room. The
eavestrough to the old building had
rusted out and had to be replaced with
new.
