We have lost valued worker from
cur midst, one who, when he laid
down his life work could feel that he

that ,"God has promised to give His
beloved sweet rest"
Our hearts go out in loving SYM
pathy to the bereaved, but, we who
have seen His Star in the East, know
that our loved ones arc waiting tc
welcome us to our eternal home.
Resolved, That a copy Of these

INCREASED NUMBER
 IN PUTNAM SCHOOLS
Superintendent Jenkins Month ly Report Concerns This
 Years Registration
Some Overero~ding Made Necessary
 by Large Attendance


 The monthly report of Ralph ( ! Jenkins, superintendent of schools shows an increased attendance this year over last year and evidences that more room Is necessary. The report is as follows:
 hereby submit my report for the month of September.
 Putnam High School
 The membership of the High school this month Is 260 as compared with q membership of 250 last Sep tember. The eighth grade room now has 50 pupils compared Co 50 last September.
 Divided by classes the numbers are; Post graduates 2, seniors 45. juniors 53, snphomores 65. freshmen 94. By courses: Classical 70, com mereial i06, general H. cooperative 10, post graduate 3.
 By fitting up the laboratory with tablet arm chairs a tolerable class room for twenty pupils has been made. But the high school building Is very much overerowded and an- other year relief of some kind will be necessary The classes far the mest part are the same as last year With the additional English assistant it has been possible to put all of the Eng lisa work in the hands of teachers l trained in English and to give the i French teacher only work in French. l regret that there seemed to be n1 way of offering both mathematics re. view and advanced mathematics this year. Glasses in penmanship have ] been started for the first time Tn high school this year The pupils who neei particular practice in penmanshlr have been selected for these classes By means of these classes l hope that the general level of penmanship Tn our High school will be raised.
 Graded Schools
 The membership of the Israel Put nam school this month is 392 as com pared with a membership of 3S9 last September. The plan of department alizing the work of the seventh grade is working out admirably. The dise.- pline and organization of the school are excellent. Additional playground apparatus which was given the school three years ago by the Manhassct Company has been set up and proves a welcome addition to a playground very much too small for the number of children who have 10 use 1t.
 Miss Edick's prolonged illness has made 1t necessary to employ two sub stitutes at the Smith Street school. Mrs. Charles Thayer started the year but gave t up because of home duties. Mrs. Everett Packard will take the room until Miss Edick's return.
 There has been a decided falling off in numbers at the Sawyer school To eounteraet this more pupils are coming from the County home and Sawyer district to the eighth grade in the high school than ever before.
 Outside Schools
 Several of the recommendations Of the State Board of Education relative to sanitary conditions in our outlying schools have been complied with and the rest are receiving attention. A contractor has been employed to make the toilets fly proof in accordance with the recommendation Of the State Board. Two individuals have presented figures for fixing up the wells so that the water will be satis- factory.
 Respectfully yours,
 RALPH C. JENKINS,
 Supt. of Schools.
