Supervisors Report
npt fr.Hr1
State Superintendent Callahan on the
inspection of the Ladysmith highschoOl
by State Supervisor Giles. The re-
port:
Madison, Wis, June 9, 1922.
Mr.. L. C. Streater,
Clerk of School Board,
Ladysmith, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir: On May II Supervisor
Giles of this department visited your
highschool and regrets very much that
on that day your superintendent was
absent from the city. / note, how
ever that during the day he met some
of the members Of your board indiyid-
ually for a brief conference. AS a
matter of reference and record by
your board. therefore, I am summar-
izing below the chief recommendations
contained in the report.
Mr.. Giles was very much pleased
with the excellent condition of your
building and the spirit of cooperation
which was found in the school. You
are certainly to be congratulated up
on the very favorable character of
this report and [ trust that the rec
concentrations made will be received
by your board in the same spirit in
which they are given.
Too Crowded
The most serious defect noted in the
supervisors report has reference to
the crowded condition under which
your special departments are working.
In your manual arts department the
facilities for mechanical drawing and
for the finishing work are quite in
adequate. This matter was discussed
at some length with the teacher but
no satisfactory plan was suggested. It
will probably be necessary for one Of
the rooms on the first floor to be used
for the mechanical drawing if this
work is to be done in a satisfactory
manner For the present the best ar
temporary drawing desks which can
be used on the benches in the manual
training room. This would leave the
present small room free for use as a
finishing room.
\ very similar, situation exists with
reference to the room now occupied
by the sewing teacher. This room is
small, dark and poorly heated. Tt is
on the north side Of the building so
that no sunshine ever enters the
room. Because of it's small size, it is
impossible to install such equipment
as is needed in the way of additional
tables and sewing machines. If pos
sible this department also should be
moved to a larger and SUMMER room
on one of the upper floors.
More Typewriters Needed
In the commercial department al
so the room occupied by typewriters
is entirely too small and as a conse-
quence the teacher is overloaded with
too many recitations during the day.
More typewriters should be provided
so that the sections need not be di-
yided and the teacher would then have
only the regular number of recitation
periods. The additional typewriters
can be placed in the room where book
keeping and stenography are taught
This need cause no Inconvenience
