SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.


There are many matters suggesting themselves that might be discussed here, but which I must defer to special reports the coming year.


Some of these points are as follows :


1. The practice of granting the grammar school gradu- ates both a diploma and a certificate the latter of which only is accepted for admission to the high school.


2. The matter of a careful revision of the course of study for the primary and grammar grades.


3. The purchase, care, and distribution of books and supplies.


4. The necessity of an examination of the school furni- ture, seats and desks, now in use in some of the schools. Many of these seats and desks are too small for the pupils in a large number of the rooms.


5. The question of the supply of teachers and the best method of securing them,-a matter demanding serious con- sideration.


I wish to express my gratitude to the Board for the uni- form kindness and courtesy shown me during my short con- nection with your schools, and to the teachers and officers who have given me their sympathy and assistance in my efforts to become acquainted with the duties of this office. I beg a continuance of all the coming year.


Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH C. JONES.


Superintendent of Schools.
