 The feature of pr. Parkers report is his recommendations.

Here are his recommendations:
 q submit the following recommenda- tions, as a brief outline of the material and temporal needs of the public schools of the city:
 '1. The provision of more high school facilities. The Birmingham high school is now too crowded.

Most Pressing Needs

''The foregoing is but brief and inn perfect summary of the most pressing needs of the schools, and l recommend these suggestions to the intelligence of our city. In the last census, taken in July, the city had population of 39,549 educable youth; nearly one-half of this number were negroes. In view of the fact that this mass of negro youth IS now without adequate facilities for edu- cation, and from the standpoint of health and sanitation is a menace to the well fare of the city, 1t is incumbent upon us to provide for them buildings that are at least sanitary, and to give them that kind of education which will make them effective promoters of the health and welfare of the entire city.
 "I have no idea as to what may be the expense to the city of the improve nents I have outlined, but let that be what 1t may it is sufficient that Bir- ,,oinphan needs them. I have not made these recommendations without reflec- tion. I have studied the conditions of our city as to it's scholastic needs, and feel that to fail to make these recom- mendations would be untrue to myself, and to the responsibility placed upon me by this board and by the public.'
