Superintendent of Schools' Report
I herewith submit my first annual report as superintendent of schools.
The past year has been a difficult year for school officials. Teach- ers of any quality have been hard to obtain and harder to hold when once engaged. There has been a steady raise in wages every- where which have slashed appropriations badly. In Hartford our own wage scale has increased from a minimum salary of $8 per week to $12, and if we are to obtain teachers for next year must increase still further. Thanks to a, liberal raise in the common school appropriation last year it has been possible to pay for the four terms of school which the "flu" obliged us to run this year and yet have enough left on hand to pay up all bills at the end of this present winter term so that all moneys raised next year can apply on the schools of that year. To meet the increasing wage demanded by teachers $1,900 would be none too much for next year.
In the matter of books the cost of text books has practically doubled. While many of our books are old and in bad shape and should be replaced.
I should recommend that the following be appropriated for the ensuing year :
Common schools. $1,900 00
Free high school. 200 00
Repairs 50 00
Text books. 75 00
Superintendent of schools. 200 00
Office expense.
25 00
Respectfully submitted,
LEON E. CASH, Supt. of Schools.
