 Cost of maintaining a colored school: At the present time it is be leved with the small number of colored pupils that two teachers could handle them and do as efficient work as oth- CT grade teachers who would have at most twice the number and in addi- ton to the two teachers they would have the same supervision and advant- ages in manual training. domestic sci ence, music and drawing as the pupils of the other schools of the city. Su- pervisors in music and drawing would visit this building just as they visit the other ward buildings and give the same supervision. The boys and girls of the fifth. sixth, seventh and eighth grades would go to the nearest shop and kitchen and receive the same in- struction in manual training and do- nestle science as the white children. The cost of maintaining the school | would be approximately as follows; One principal at s90 per month. sSl0; | one primary teacher at $50 per month. | s72O: one janitor at s15 per month. | sI35: supplies. s100: fuel. $40: making ! | total of Sl,S05.'
