standing of the school system at the
close OF the last school year, requested
from Or. Fowler at the insistence OF
Charles +. Carusi. vice president of
the board, that the body should have
a concrete record Of conditions at each
school in the city.
#. Fairgrounds Too Small
The principal complaints concern.
Ing the school Fairgrounds made by
the medical inspectors of the Health
Department We're that they are toe
small, containing less than 10 square
feet per pupil.
DR. Frank w Rallou, superintend
eit, took a different view. OF the stu.
alton and declared that the ma jority y
of the unsatisfactory conditions We're
merely transitory" and scores of
them already remelied
II think this report will be of great
service to us" continued DR.. Ballou.
ut presents complete picture of
small things the matter with the
older schools and will enable US to
remedy them as fast as we are pro
vided with money"
DR.. Ballou reported to the board
that all teachers and pupils who de-
a're to go 10 the SeSQuicentennial on
District day, October s, will be ex-
cuse0 from school. The teachers will
hN%e - supply substitutes. DR.. Bal
iCN admonished all who are planning
&c 20 to make the necessary reserva-
IONS, as the special rates are only
Fnod on special trains.
