The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-15


 negro schools, now held in churches rent | ed for school use. I further recommend | that proper steps be taken to secure title to the East Birmingham lot ant | building now vacated.
 It must be remembered that the board l has under it's charge at present 55 sep arate school buildings. Thirty-seven oi these are for white children and IS fol negro children. Eliminating the five ne gro churches and leased buildings used for negro schools, the total number of school buildings owned by the city is 90. To keep these 50 school buildings in proper state of repair-to see that they are properly heated and ventilated and adequately furnished, is not the simple task it may seem to be- All these build ings@ should be inspected by the board at the earliest possible date, and such repairs as may be deemed necessary should be ordered at once
 Reduction of Expenses
 The board has carefully considered the necessity of reducing the expense of maintenance without impairing too seri- ously the efficiency of the system as now administered. In order to accom- plish this end the provisions planned by the board for the education of defective children must be postponed. The board has further decided to suspend the ele- mentary vocational school, heretofore conducted in the Paul Hayne school, and to dispense for the present with the two trained nurses connected with the medi- cal department A reduction will also he made in the number of teachers em- ployed in the departments Of manual training and domestic science. The board has further decided to eliminate the in- stitute week and the week of the holiday recess from the term to be covered by the teachers salaries, thus reducing the sala ries of the teachers by one-half Of a month. It was wisely decided, however, that in view of this reduction, the regu- lar schedule increase should be continued so far as it applies to elementary teach- CTS. No4provision has been suggested TOT | increased attendance during next year except that suggested for the Hlgh school It is not improbable that tne increase in certain sections of the city nav require a revision of our estimates and a readjustment of plans. Respect fully submitted, J. H. PHILLIPS,
 Superintendent of Schools.
