Central Building for the
Grades is One of
Them.
TO TEACH VOCAT|OAS
Much War Work Done in
This City During Last
Term.

The third annual report OF City
Superintendent of Schools Otis G..
Wilson has been submitted to the
Board OF Education of Fairmont In
dependent school district. The report
is a comprehensive one. and outlines
in detail the school activities OF the
year, the expenditures necessary for
the maintenance of the schools, war
work as accomplished by the pupils
enrolled in the various schools. and
also has listed a number of big needs
necessary for the future growth Of
the schools OF the district.
In outlining the great needs of the
schools. Superintendent Wilson lays
stress on the fact that in order TO
make progress commensurate with
the steady growth of the town, addi-
tional buildings and equipment are
necessary and must be provided for
the schools Of the district.
Among the big needs is a central
school building where pupils OF the
seventh and eighth grad y may re-
ceive industrial education before they
reach the high school. a place where
the boy or girl may discover him
self or find his bent for 4 particular
line OF work in order that ne may be
given instruction along this line and
thus develop the best that is in him.
With Fairmont rapidly becoming a
live industrial center. the demand
for especially trained and skilled lrea
and women will be great. and the
schools cannot do their bit in the di-
rection of training these youths in
this line without adequate and ample
facilities.
Better facilities should be provided
for the Dunbar (coloredl school. as
owing to the rapid growth OF the en-
rollment of this school the present
accommodations are entirely made
quate TO the demands OF the colored
population.
Another matter upon which par
ticular stress is laid is that Of the
need of maintaining an evening
school and OF making proper prepare
tions for such a school. The school
maintained during the past two years
by the High school has proved that
there is a large demand for such in
struction from the adult wage earn
ers. The school draws its pupils from
nearby towns. as well as from local
citizens.
The schools need a salaried nurse
to work in conjunction with the
school medical inspector. Her duties
to be those of following up cases OF
sickness, mental deficiency. etc.
The schools need also a better and
more adequate system OF bookkeep-
ing and business accounting In order
that the handling OF the more than
one hundred thousand dollars Of pub
lie taxes expended annually may be
done expeditiously.
The report shows that during the
school year OF 1878 the schools OF
Fairmont Independent school district
laid special stress upon the matter Of
instilling into the minds OF the
school children lessons OF thrift
which which would not only meet
the demands Of the present world sit
uation. but would be OF economic ben
eft TO the children during their en-
tire lifetime.
War conditions suggested to the
school officials the need for inculGat-
ing lessons OF thrift and economy
into the school course and steps were
at once taken TO widen the curri:u-
