To the annual school meeting of Joint
| School District No. s of the City of Ed
gerton and Town OF Fulton:
Your school board respectfully report
to you as follows:
| The schools have been taught during
| the past year without any interruption,
with the exception of about ten days at
| the close of the school year, occasioned
| by contagious diseases, thus depriving
| the pupils of examination work and also
the usual anticipated closing exercises
Aside from this unfortunate condition,
| the years work has been very satisfac-
| tory.
Your board made provisions for the
congested conditions in the 3rd grade by
securing another teacher. Again the
same condition exists in the 4th grade.
This will call for still another teacher.
The question arose, where is room to be
found for their accommodation?
Prof. Roethe solved the problem as
best be could by utilizing the teachers
| or rest room, it being far from a suitable
place in which to do efficient work, as it's
size will only seat one-half of pupils en-
| tering that grade, the other half will be
given seats in the adjoining grade rooms
and be under the supervision of their
| teachers.
The free texts have been replenished,
old and badly soiled books were replaced
| by new, clean texts. Where cortagion
existed in families, precautionary meas
ures we're adopted by burning the texts
| used by the children of these families.
A teacher of music was secured from the
School of Music at Madison. During
the last twelve weeks weekly visits were
| made by this teacher, who conducted
the classes for that day and also out
| lined the work for the week. Prof. Owen
of the State University himself had
| charge of the work and visited the
schools on various occasions.
! A new heating and ventilating plant
| has been installed at cost of $3,496.89.
Although not completed properly till
after the coolest weather had passed,
your board are satisfied that it will be
| great improvement over the old system
and give good satisfaction.
! The loan from the state trust fund
was not made as voted at last meeting.
The board have paid from our school
fund 81 1869 towards said heating
plant. The balance, $4,000, was loaned
from the Tobacco Exchange bank.
