 The teachers have taught a total Ot 50l months in this school.
 This year has been by far the most successful of the five terms in which have been superintendent of your schools. The enrolment and attend< ance have been the greatest in the history of Yuma's public schools. and the general work done by the pnpils has been eminently satisfactory in comparison with past years work.
 The class Of twenty graduates out< numbers any former class. the next largest one being my first class, five years ago, which nun bered nineteen.
 The number of pupils enrolled ex- .ceeds the enrollment of last year, which had been the banner enrollment of the schools, by forty. The average daily attendance ex~ ceeds the record attendance of last year by fifty eight.
 There were fewer failures in the fnaf examinations than at the close of any previous year, and the several different grades are fully up with the course of study and are thus prepared for & most successful term next school year. This statement is made because Of the fact that many of our pupils in various grades went to several of the leading city schools in the United States short- ly before the close of the present terrsy and in every case the pupil received his regular promotion in the school in wi ich he entered, while in the major ity of cases of pupils entering other schools they were advanced to one grade higher than they held in this school when entering, and were again promoted at the close of the term where they had entered. This was |. especially the case where our pupils entered the city schools of Los Angeles and ot her California schools. There was one case of pupil from our schools entering a good school in California and being advanced from the fourth tO  the sixth grade within two days after presenting his card from the Yuma schools. Easing our knowledge upor these facts, you may we'll consider the Yuma schools the equal of any graded school school system in America since the pupils from here in presenting cre- dentiesls have in every case been hon. Ored and have made good in a high degree.
 The books read during the term inti~ cate thrb during the past five years the pupils have acquired good spirit for reading.
 Very respectfully subm'f ed.
