WANTS SWIMMING
CLASS IN SCHOOLS
Leasing of Lurline Baths for
Pupils Recommended by
R0ncovieri
Fayors Appropriation of $4,000
for Teachers Annuity Fund
and Salary Increase

In his annual report to the mayor
and the board of supervisors, Alfred
Roncovieri, superintendent of schools,
makes the recommendation that the
city lease the Lurline baths site on
Pine and Larkin streets, to use the
same for the instruction of the pupils
of the common schools in swimming.
He suggests that the revenue to main
tain the establishment be drawn from
the rent fund accruing from school
property Before the fire large bodies
of school children were instructed by
competent teachers regularly during
the summer months. Swimming clubs
were organized, and the feature was a
very popular one in school life.
The proposed amendment to be sub
mitted to the voters in November of
including evening schools among the
number of schools receiving state sup
port, takes up a great deal of the re-
port. Roncovieri points out that there
are, or were at the close of the month
of June, 7,189 pupils in evening schools.
The complete enrolment last year was
4S,045, which means that one-seventh
OF San Francisco's school children are
in evening schools. These children
are divided into eight schools at an
expense to the city of $4,000 annually.
are equally entitled with day pupils to
the support of the state.
The present school buildings are in
adequate in number and size. but on the
sale Of the proposed bonds, he points
out that II class A buildings will be
constructed in the fire limits, 19 of spe-
cial construction, three class A high
schools and a class c addition to the
Mission high school.
Roncovieri recommends building of as
sembly halls in all schools as a meeting
place for parents and children, and for
the instruction of adults; the appoint
ment of examining physicians for the
maintenance of the compulsory educa-
tion law; that the board of supervisors
appropriate out of the next budget
$4,000 for the teachers annuity fund,
and that the fund allowed for each
pupil be raised from SIS to $50 to
guarantee and safeguard the increased
raise of teachers salaries.
He states that there are 80 schools in
the department, 1895 teachers; that the
school property Is valued at S6,379 900
and that the average daily enrolment
of pupils for the year ending June 30
was 4S,045, an increase of 2,067 over
1907, and nearly 10000 below the aver
age enrolment Of 1906.

Opens Hatches Too Soon

The British steamer Braemount was
fumigated yesterday by the federal au-
thorities and today will probably
lighting the sulphur the federal smoke
brigade left the ship, after instructing
the officers not to open the matches
until five hours had expired. The Off
GERS concluded that three hours was
long enough and opened up accord
lngly- This premature release of the
fumes was detected and when applica-
tion was made for a bin OF health it
was refused and the ship ordered to
Mission bay for another sulphur bath.
The BraemOunt arrived here May 8
with a cargo of coal for the navy and
has been chartered to carry grain to
the United Kingdom from Portland.
Without a certificate showing that the
vessel had been properly fumigated at
this port the quarantine officer on the
Columbia river would not allow the
vessel alongside the wharf either at
Astoria or Portland.
