Notwithstanding the increasing number of Normal school graduates and college graduates, the supply of skilled teach CTS is not equal to the demand. Owing to the location and the State Normal school in this city, New Haven has bet ter opportunities for securing good teachers than many other cities-op- portunities which it has not failed to take advantage of. Nearly one-third of our entire corps of teachers are gradu- ates of the school, from fifteen to twen- ty being appointed anually.
 One hundred and fifty-eight teachers are. this year, taking work at Yale, either in the graduate department or in the Yale courses for teachers. Additional Recommendations.
 1. That a second story be added to the passageway between the new high school building and the Boardman building. So many pupils of each school have work in both buildings that such an addition is necessary. ?. That instruction in coking be pro- vided for all girls in the seventh grade of the schools. Section S5 of the rules and regulations of the board states that instruction shall be given in cooking or domestic economy to the girls in the seventh grade.''
 At present one lesson week is pro- vided for 300 girls, this being the limit of the capacity of the classes.
 The selection is made by lot, by schol- arship, and in various other ways, all of which are irrational and unsatisfac- tory. I recommend the employment of an additional teacher of cooking so that every girl in the designated grade who wishes to take this work shall have an Opportunity to do SO.
 1 8. That, to assist in the administration work of the school, there be appointed for each class in the high school a senior teacher or class officer, who in addition to his work as regular in structor in the school, shall have charge of the ordinary administrative and dis ciplinary matters of the class to which he is assigned.
