of Pierce County:
Your Committee on Education respect
fully report that we have examined the
books. records and vouchers of the Coun-

that they are kept in a systematic and
business-like manner. We. also IND that
he has Systematically arranged all pa

properly labeled, thereby saving great
deal Of time in his~office work.
That we also find that the approprla-

for clerk hire, janitor during the summer
series of teachers examinations, class
ification blanks, and expenses connected
with the diploma examinations and the
school board convention.
