The new board, after the adoption of a course of study, began the erection of a new schoolhouse at Fifth and Chew streets, the lot for which had previously been purchased for $3,250. The cornerstone was laid in May, 1867. The condi- tion of the schools was such that additional ac-

commodations were absolutely necessary, as dur- ing the term of 1867-68 the boy's high school was kept in a room over a mercantile establish- ment, and the girls' in the Presbyterian church session room, while from four to six lower grades were provided for in rented rooms in houses or in Sunday schools.
The necessity for providing for regular exam- inations soon became apparent to the board, and they, therefore, in May, 1867, appointed R. K. Buehrle, the teacher of the boys' high school, to conduct the examinations of all the schools in addition to his duties as teacher. In February, 1868, he was elected city superintendent, which office he held until 1878.
The first high school commencement was held in 1869 in the Presbyterian church, and the first diplomas were awarded to the class of 1874. The classes graduating from 1869 to 1874 sub- sequently received diplomas also. The effect of having regular annual examinations, and promot- ing in accordance with proficiency was soon seen in greater regularity of attendance and better attention to study, especially in the higher grades.
The growth of the city necessitated the erec- tion of new school houses in the Sixth ward in 1870, and in the Fourth ward in 1872, and the buildings in the Second and Third wards were remodelled. A new building in the First ward was erected in 1874 and in 1882, the building on Ninth street, in the Eighth ward, was erected.
In 1876, there were 57 schools: one high school, with an enrollment of 51 males and 59 fe- males; four male grammar schools, enrollment 160; four female grammar schools, enrollment 144; nine male secondary schools, enrollment 550; eight female secondary schools, enrollment 450; nine male advanced primary schools, enroll- ment 575 ; nine female advanced primary schools, enrollment 581 ; seven male primary schools, en- rollment 580; and six female primary schools, with an enrollment of 450 pupils.
In May, 1878, G. H. Desh was elected su- perintendent of schools and served until 1881, when L. B. Landis was elected. Mr. Landis served until 1893, when F. D. Raub, the present incumbent, was elected. Additional buildings have been erected in different sections of the city until in 1914 there are twenty-one buildings, as follows : High School, on Turner street, between Eighth and Ninth, built in 1893, and the Harrison, Morton, Garber, Horne, Livingston (1911), Wolfe, Hunsicker (1902), Sheridan, McKinley ( 1886), Cleveland, Washington (1897), Jackson (1911), Herbst, Stevens (1890), Allen (1900), Garfield (1908), Frank- lin ( 1888), Jefferson (1910), Lincoln (1900), and Mosser buildings. Night schools are held in
the high school and Sheridan buildings and eve- ning manual training schools in the Sheridan, Herbst and Stevens buildings. An open air school is also held and a school for mentally defective children. In 1914 there are 175 schools, taught by 39 male and 151 female teachers, with 3,966 male pupils and 4,062 female pupils. The aver- age daily attendance is 8,028, and the cost of each pupil per month, $1.79. The average salary of male teachers is $85.74, and of female teachers, $51.27. The salaries in the primary grades range from $45 to $60; in the secondary, from $55 to $70; in the grammar, from $65 to $80, and in the high school from $800 to $1,600, with $2,000 for the principal. The salary of the superin- tendent is $2,500. The present rate of school tax is six and one-half mills. The course of study pursued in the high school is as follows:
First Year, Normal Course .- English Gram- mar, Arithmetic, Algebra, Civics, Latin and Ger- man. The classical and Latin scientific courses omit German and the commercial course substi- tutes therefore commercial geography.
Second Year, Normal Course .- English, ( Rhe- toric, Composition, Classics) ; Ancient History, Algebra, Physical Geography, Zoology, Botany, Latin and German.
The Classical Course omits Zoology and Bot- any, and includes Greek; the Latin Scientific Course substitutes German for Zoology and Bot- any and the Commercial Course includes Eng- lish, Commercial Arithmetic, Mediaeval and Modern History, Algebra and Bookkeeping.
Third Year, Normal Course .- English, Me- diaeval and Modern History, Plane Geometry, Chemistry, Latin and German. The Latin Scientific Course omits Chemistry and substi- tutes more advanced Latin. The Classical Course adds Greek and the Commercial Course embraces English, U. S. History, Bookkeeping, Stenography and Typewriting.
Fourth Year, Normal Course .- English, Phys- ics, Psychology and School Management, Latin and German, with Astronomy and Geology op- tional. The Latin Scientific Course includes English, Virgil, Physics, Solid Geometry and Trigonometry, and Higher Algebra, with As- stronomy, Geology and Chemistry optional.

attendance officer is O. P. Knauss; supervisor of music, Margaret Sykes; supervisor of draw- ing, Charlotte S. Schmerker; grade supervisor, Mary G. Allen, and medical inspectors, Dr. F. S. Boyer and Dr. Thomas H. Weaber.
By an Act of the Legislature approved May 18, 19II, the government of the schools was vested in a board of nine school directors and the board of control and section boards were abolished.
The act provided that at the municipal elec- tion held in November, 1911, three directors were to be elected for two years, three for four years, and three for six years, and biennially thereafter, three directors were to be elected at large, for terms of six years, with the term of office beginning on the first Monday in De- cember following their election. The first board of school directors elected in 1911 under the new law was as follows: Major Frank D. Beary, President; Wilson Arbogast, Rev. E. O. Leopold, Dr. R. C. Peters, James M. Wuchter, Jacob H. Fink, Thomas J. Roth, Alex. B. Ells- worth and Francis P. Hunsicker.
