Gentlemen:-In view of the fact |
hat We are closing the business Of |
me school year and laying the plans
or another, I feel that we are safe
2 calling this the most Important
Meeting >of the year. According to
he financial statements that are to
'e presented to you to-day, you will
zee why we should use every effort
o keep our expenses down to the
minimum, and in order to do this
will require your best and most
eriOus consideration of every item
+ expenditure.
A brief statement Of the needs Of
ur school buildings is as follows:
he Madisonyille High School should
e. painted inside and out, but it
aust have nearly all Of the window
lass re-Duttied. We are given the
ssurance ola donation Of $4,000
rom the Rose1Wald Fund to assist
l repairs and alterations in the Mad
'onyille. oolored school building
hOuld you decide to make this :
hange. The First Ward Director .
nd your Superintendent will be glad t
, discuss the matter with you more /,
lily during the meeting.
In accordance with your instruc-
ons, will engage only one teacher s
II the Savannah Branch school, AMI {
course, ( second one can be add t
should the attendance at any time G
ako it necessary. I feel sure that t
u will desire to have this building | l
.inted. also wish to call your v
tention % the fact that the Folsom, t
inward and Union Grove school ?
,uses Dllly need painting. b
AS far as the Covington High t
hool goes, / can only repeat, in '
e strongest manner possible, the a
ports of he badly crowded condi- il
ms there. I wish to repeat that b
& quality of work done by many b
the teachers must necessarily be D
jured by their oveT-crowded class a
oms. We should have four more O
ISIS rooms, and those at once. II h
) cannot secure this additional
ace it would be unjust for the a
bile to exact first class work by C
any of the teachers. a
