 Additional School Accommodations Needed.
 The part of the city in which the number of school children seems to be
 most rapidly incnreasing is the section occupied by the Webster, Welch and Day districts. In these districts the number of children in the schools has
 steadily increased for several years. Recently the increase has been rapid Tn the Webster district the increase in the number of children in school the past year has been 89. If to this is add ed the 21 children who were transferred in September to the Orange street school the increase becomes 110; the i'm crease of the previous year was 50. In .he Welch district the increase of the past year was 1S5; the year before it was 12o. In the Day district for the past two years it has been 7S and S9 re- spectively.
 Space is given in the report to the of ficial medical inspection of the schools, and to the coming education exhibits at the St. Louis exposition. In the latter mention it is noted: The exhibit from the New Haven schools. while not in- tended to be especially elaborate or showy. will, l think, be creditable representation of the actual work of the schools, and will represent nearly every department of school work kindergar- ten work, reading, language, arithmetic, geography, nature study, writing, sew ing, elementary manual work, drawing, and high school work will each have one or more units of space. Sewing and elementary manual work will together occupy a single space. The high school will have four spaces. The hiigh school work exhibited will be taken mainly from the commercial department and from the Boardman school. The exhibit
 srom the latter will consist chiefly of
 iron work. wood work, pottery. sewing ana urdWIng.
 An interesting feature of the New Haven exhibit will be the display of about 100 photographs of school build ings, school grounds school rooms,
 classes of children, and children engag-
 ed in their regular school room work
 It is hoped that after the exposition lis over the New Haven exhibit may be returned to this city and placed where lit can be inspected by those interested in the work of the schools.
 It is difficult to keep the schools SUD-
 piled with efficient teachers Owing to
 resignations and to new positions
 which are opened every year, from
 thirty to thirty-fve new teachers are
 appointed anually Last September, at
 the opening of the fall term, fifty-one
 teachers in the corps had never taught
 in our schools before. Of these, fifteen
 were in the high school and thirty-six
 in the grades and kindergartens. A
 few have been added since I have
 never known it to be so difficult to ob-
 tain good teachers, as I have found it
 the past year. Several positions have
 been filled, for extended periods, with substitutes and temporary teachers sim
 ply because it has been impossible to secure satisfactory permanent teachers.
