No. 1853 and 1872. Town of Milford.
This school so far as cleanliness is
concerned was in very good shape.
but the property is badly in need of
repairs. The plastering has fallen all
over the four rooms, and the paint
has been gone for many years so that
the building is going to the bad raDia-
ly. Metal ceilings should be placed
in each room, and the blackbosrds
lowered down so the children can use
them. Paint is an absolute necessity
for the preservation of the building.
No. l64. WilliamSVille, near HOus-
ton. This district has bought the old
school building from the whites and
moved it upon lot of ground bought
by them. The state gave them a
small amount to assist in refitting the
building, and they now have a very
efficient school property; a great i'm
prOVement over the old one. The
door step needs rebuilding.
No. 165. HammOndtOWR. This dis
trict has two buildings, both are west
from Pennington, and both have been
helped by the state. The upper school
needs twelve feet built to the end to
accommodate the children in attend
ance, and about Eve double desks are
badly needed. 1t is absolutely clean
as pin. The lower school building
is larger and it could use a few addi-
tional desks, too.
The sasitary conditions of the col
ored schools of Kent County are good
in nearly all the districts, and there
is evident a general improvement in
the schools.
Each School Commissioner has had
a copy of this report mailed to his
so that the facts are known
to each and all. In addition the re-
port has been printed in the newspa-
pers, and the public as well as the
school officials are acquainted with
The conditions surrounding their
schools
This body feels that by and through
-he Parent Teachers Associations ex-
cellent results in arOusing the people
TO the needs of their public schools
will be attained.
