administration. In the board Of
education offices, teachers have
been busily engaged in reclassify-
ing and making out report forms,
outlines, courses Of study, etc. A
new cumulative record card with
suitable transfer forms has been
constructed whereby the progress
of a child through his entire
school life can be accurately de-
termined. This card will be ready
for installation at the re-opening
Of school.
"Under the different supervis-
ors, outlines have been prepared
in reading, language, spelling, ma
ture study and history. An ex-
haustive study is being made Of
school finances with emphasis on
teachers salaries, together with
a graphical representation of the
same, which will be available for
the committee on schools and the
special committee on legislation
for the general fund in the con-
, sideration Of salary adjustments.
"In the book room, a group Of
ten to fifteen teachers has been
at work practically every day for
the past four weeks, making a
perpetual inventory of all text
books. A book list, showing the
grades in which all the books are
used, also has been prepared for
principals and teachers at the re-
opening Of school.
''In the manual training de-
partment, the wood shop, the ma
chine shop and forge have been
going constantly. The supervisor 3
report shows that work done from
Oct. IA to Nov. 8 amounts to
1,5O4.64.
"a report from the home train.
ing department. under Miss Shoel.
kopf and the Red Cross depart.
ment under Miss Carey, shows the
amount Of relief work done in
these departments.
Elm as much as the Duluth pub
lie schools send to and receive
from the Duluth Normal school a
large number Of teachers, every
reason exists for close co-opera-
ton and a reasonable degree of
uniformity in the work Of both
institutions, To this end, we are
inviting the faculty Of the Duluth
Normal school to work with the
different committees Of the prin-
cipals' conference in the con-
struction Of a course Of study for
use in the elementary and Junior
high schools Of the Duluth Nor
NAL school and the Duluth public
schools. In order to insure proper
coordination in this work, the
following executive committee
has been appointed. .
"Miss Laura Macarthur, prin-
cipal Of the Irving elementary
and junior high school; Miss
Ethel Salisbury, primary super
visor, Duluth public schols; F. L.
Whitney, superintendent Of the
training department, Duluth Nor
NAL school.
elm accordance with sugges-
tions Of the Federal department
at Washington to school admin
istrators to take steps to encour-
age high school graduates with
good training and good native
ability to enter training schools
to prepare for the teaching pro-
fession, I have appointed the fol-

ium during the fire, have been
completely renovated and put in
proper condition for the reception
Of children when school opens.
A certificate from the medical m
spector says:
"'At your request I have
made several thorough investiga-
tions Of the Denfeld and Irving
schools after the removal Of the
Nopeming patients. Both of these
schools have had the rooms, all
wood work, desks, drawers and
shelves thoroughly washed in a
strong antiseptic solution. They
have been thoroughly fumigated
as an extra precaution and both
schools have haen connletelv
