ANNUAL SESSION OF THE
COUNTY BOARD NOVEMBER 'O5

adopted and bills allowed as reported |
carried.
Report of special committee: To |
the honorable county board of super |
visors Of Wood County Wisconsin.
Gentlemen
Your special COM
nj ttee appointed by Honorable A. e.
Germer chairman, at the last session
in May. 1905, TO report on County
Training school for teachers and
school for agriculture and domestic
economy respectfully report as
| follows:
The two members of your committee,
John L. Voelker and A. B. Cotey
Made a visit on May 18th. 26th and
9th, to menomonie, Wis, and ex-
amined the Dunn County Training
schools at that place. Also on May
10Th made trip to WausaU and
examined the Marathon County Train
ing schools. E. P. Arpin was unable
to visit the schools at this time.
| Your committee after examining
into the subject thoroughly, and con-
sidering the results obtained by the
neighboring training schools as we'll
as the training school for teachers in
our ow n county.
Consider these schools of great
value to the entire people of our
county. We would estimate the cost
of Euilding and equipment to be S25,
900. 90, and would recommend that the
County of Wood proceed to appropri
ate $25. 100000, for the erection of
building and equipment of the schools
and that the school of agriculture and
domestic economy be added to the
present training school for teachers
now located at Grand Rapids, as soon
as building is ready for occupancy.
The present quarters for the training
school for teachers is adequate for the
present needs, but the new school
building if erected should be built
so as to be ready for occupancy by
September 1906.
Respectfully Submitted:
