"1he question as 1t presents itself
now is not whether the superintendent
or this or that commissioner has been
guilty Of any wrong or oven of any
serious specific mistake, but whether
the best interests of the public schools,
looked Mt from all standpoints, would
not be best promoted by ticking a fresh
start or turning over a new leaf. OF
several solutions that might be suggest
ed for the problem, ! am inclined TO
think, all things considered, that the
theory of Il fresh start is the best.
The superintendent expects to retire
from the Office soon irrespective OF what
action | might take in this matter. He
has also rendered his resignation now
so as. to leave me as free as possible
to effect any reorganization of the de-
partment that might seem best. While
there are strong reasons why Inc should
be retained until such time as he would
retire for other reasons, | think, on the
whole, that / should accept his resig-
nation now, and especially rs prepare.
tons are about to be made for the next
school year.
'"Two of the commissioners wore only
recently appointed TO fill uncxpired
terms and have not become identified
with either faction. There was clearly

ever might be the outcome of this in
| vestiS0tlOn as TO others, that ] have
already fcappointed thcnI. Their reap.

ments, may Be regarded as part of the
new deal. TWO of the other com.
| missioners have been decidedly partisan
in the faction Of the complainants OF
aggressors On the theory of fresh
start, it IL clear that they should not
be rcappointed. The ease is not SC
clear as to the remaining two commits
sioners. These have both worked more
4 on the theory of harmony or Give and
let live or agreeing to disagree where
agreement was impossible, aud one OF
them was appointed comparatively re
Gently, but both are regarded by tn,
! opposite faction ne fractional partisan.
on Che side of the superintendent, anC
it might bc better to carry ont tn,
theory of Il fresh start to its ldgica
limit and not reappoint them.
'sThc factions include not merely tn,
superintendent and commissioners bu
also II number of principals and teach
ers. The words faction aud 'parti

Medical inspection of pupils has been
considerably extended with manifest
beneficial results.
Improvement in Teaching Is Shown.
"There has been marked improve.
ment in the standard of teaching. Mini
mum salaries have been increased and
the times shortened within which maxi
mum salaries may be obtained. This
has resulted in better average of
teachers, which has been promoted also
| by the holding of a summer school each
of the three summers, and by an extern
sive system of supervising principals,
/ who supervise the principals and teach
ers of the schools under them and keep
/ the Department in constant touch with
all the schools through regular reports,
and by making promotions depend more
on demonstrated efficiency in teaching
as well as upon certificates and length

"1'he business of the Department has
been conducted economically and eff.
GENTLY notwithstanding the great in.
crease in the funds handled, and the
work of the Department generally, both
financial and educational, has been more
thoroughly systematized. The equip
ment of the schools has been increased

from natural causes or the efforts OF

suits might have been accomplished b,

is expected of each successive admins

General Findings-Favora
" Notwithstanding the lack of har-
mony. there has been unusual progress
in educational matters during the three
years of the school administration now
under investigation.
t''Never before has there been so
great an increase in so short time
in school accommodation by the cree
ton OF new buildings and the employ
ment of additional teachers. Largely
in consequence of this, there has been
n phenomenal increase in the number
of pupils; and the educational needs of
the children of school age have been
met in larger measure than before, not,
witlstanding the large increase in the
numbers OF such children during the
las: few years. Not only this, but the
percentage of pupils in the grammar
grades has steadily increased notwiE-
standing the great increase in the num-
Der of children in the lower grades.
Moreover, as n result of better and
more complete system of supervision,
there is greater uniformity of work N
the various schools, so that pupils may
pass with lees loss from one school to
another; and there is more regular pro
motion of pupils with decrease in the
number of laggarls. Also, as shown
above the couree of study has been
carefully examined and improved. Spe-
cial attention has been given TO indus
