tons schools is $500. .OO, while the amount of S4,33O % will be expended at Morenci for the same purpose. It is possible that more than the amount named will be found necessary for the expenditures of this department m the Clifton schools, as the policy indi- cated at present intimates an exten- sion of the work in this department. The attendance in this department of the Clifton schools last year was about 65, while it is thought that the attendance this year will be cOnsi.l trab," increased. The attenLance for was acout 100, tn Is ill li"atinsg that Mcrenci is expendilg more time and nc e. upon this sef fIl ,. It is contemplated that reserve fund for the meeting of any increase ill at tendance of the schools Of the coun- ty will be justified, md accordingly a fund totaling one-tenth of the amount estimated for the conduct of the grammar schols has been tenta- cy This fund, one-tenth Of the geIr eral fund, is S7,199. 50. This indicates that heavier attendance is expected for the coming year.
 The policy of the trustees is to en- courage the teachers in maintaining their positions for the successive years, their opinion being that exper- fence on the part of teachers with the pupils and methods concerning | instruction can result only in the good of the city schools. A large majority of the teachers em- ployed for the coming term were employed last year, and many of them have taught in the Clifton schools for several years. Those of the teachers formerly employed, who have been away on vacations, are arriving in Clifton preparatory to beginning their duties, as are those who are employ ed for the first time.
