ment in communication with every
district of the Territory.
Selecting these supervising princi-
pals from our teaching force has cost
the Territory but very little more
than would otherwise be paid out
and, at the same time, has given us
competent supervisors who are quite
familiar with the work of the districts
placed within their charge. The
pamphlet of instructions to the super
vising principals was prepared by the
department and given very careful
consideration at meeting of super
visors held at the Office of the super
! intendent early in the school year.
This meeting of the supervising prin-
cipals proved to be a great success,
and it seemed to be the expression of
all of them that they were well sat
isfied and repaid for the time spent in
attending this meeting, where much

Examining Committee.
The examining committee that was
appointed during the summer, accord

been doing considerable work This
committee consists of the inspector
of schools as chairman and four SUI
pervising principals, Mr. J. G. Davis,
Mrs. N. L. D. Fraser, Mr.. William Nc
Cluskey and Mr.. Charles Baldwin.
This examining committee had charge
of the preparation of questions and
examinations held at the close of the
summer school for teachers. They
have also examined the credentials
and certificates of teachers in the
employ of the department as well as
those of new teachers who have been
employed, and granted them such GER
tificates as they are entitled to, &C
cording to our rules and regulations
in reference to certificates.
Buildings.
In reference to the new school build.
ings, the department has kept in com.
munication with the Loan Fund Com.
mission of each Island, as well as
the architects who are preparing the
plans and specifications for the build
ings. Most of the latter have been
able to present blue prints of plans
which are here for your approval and
will be taken up individually for con
sideration. Information in reference
to school needs in the way of build
ings was collected last year befor the
meeting of the legislature and this
data was presented to the proper au
