schools tomorrow night the school year
of l904-l90o will be brought to close.
Special exercises will be held in each
Of the high schools, but the graded
schools will close the day in the regu-
lar order and the students will go forth
for three months rest and pleasure
The success which has attended the
Of a kindergarten depart
ment in the public schools is manifest
in the assertion that 1890 little boys
and girls will be sent from the kinder
garten TO the first grade. Forty classes
for little tots are now a part of the
school system and the demand for ad-
mission has been SO great that BEFORE
the fall three new schools will be ADDED
Two of these will be for white children
and one for colored.
In consequence of the closing of the
Phoebe Hearst School for kindergarten
Teachers problem presented itself Ill
the question as to where young women
could be trained for the work This
was solved. however, in the decision 10
esta blish a course in connection with
the Normal School and Miss Grace N
Fulmer has been put in charge she
will train the teachers for kindergarten
work.
$50 Pupils Will Graduate.
The eighth grades of Washington will
send LOO students to the high schools
in the fall, while $50 pupils will this year
receive their certificates of graduation
from the high schools and will either
enter a business career, go through the
Normal School or enter colleges 10 con-
tinue their education.
Seventy-eight new teachers VIII pc
added to the roster through the gradua-
ton at the local normal schools Forty
of these are white and thirty-elght, are
colored. The majority will be provided
with classes in the fall.
Teaching Not an Alluring Vocation.
The steady decrease In the number of
male graduates from the Normal School
continues, and this year, out of the
large number of high school graduates,
none of the boys will enter the Normal
to seek other professions. When teach
ers in Washington has caused the boys
to seek other professions. When @ tech
er begins her work the salary Is $5OO,
with very remote hope of increase IN
consideration Of the cost of living in
Washington the prospect for existence
on so small salary is not allurtng, and
the young men have decided that their
efforts will be better rewarded wnen ap-
piled to other professions.
The Board of Education will hold its
last meeting for the present year on
July j. when new officers will be esected,
and the board will then adjourn until
fall
