These figures show a steady Increase,
amounting te 13 percent, in ilvoyears, while
the Increa-se in the number of teachers was
but 7 porcent.
The study of physiology and hygiene, new
rendered obligatory in all the fcclioel", calls
for the purchase of additional apparatus. As
such I would ask for an articulated skeleton,
unateiulc.il models and a manikin. These
articles, it kept at the superintendent's elllce,
would be useful there in giving instructions
te all the tcachers, and could be used In the
schools w lien sent for, or by having classes
coine te the elllce for Instruction. They
would be well cared for, and used in such a
manner as le benefit all the schools; and, as
this is a new study, extraordinary aid should
be afforded te the teachers. I trust therefore
that the beard will direct the purchase of this
apparatus as speedily as possible.
Of the 25 teacheis new employed in the
lower urade primary schools, 21 have taught
less than llve years, and of these 21, 7
have taught but ene year, or less;
whlle of tlie 10 teachers in the lower
grade Fceendary schools only three have
taught less than live years, and the most
recent appointment was made ufler tlireu
years' experience. I knew of no geed rea
son why all the beginners In teaching should
boeblluedto experiment en the youngest,
the most impresslbl", and hcuce the most
easily and the most lasting injured pupil.
Ne mero clfectual plan ler making and keup
ing these primary schools peer and luelll
elent for iesitively preventing them from
even becoming better could be devised
than the practice of sending all beginners
into these schools te learn the business, and
then as seen as they show superier qualilicu qualilicu
tiens as teachers replacing them by such as
have no experience, thus condemning these
schools te be taught olther by the lueillcleut,
or by the Inexperienced.
I bellove that a plat, could be dovised
without injustice te the teachers, whereby
joed and experienced teachers could be ro re ro
talned In these lowest grade primary schools
te the infinite gain of tlie pupils and te the
improvement of all the schools abeve them.
This is the weak, tlie neglected part of the
publla school system.
Respectfully your obedient bervant,

Miss Sue Kllmaker reslgned the position of
a teacher in the primary department of the
L.0I11OH street schools. The resignation was
accepted and a vete of thanks oxtendod te
Miss nilmuker ier the faithful manner In
which she had discharged lier duties. Miss

vacancy.
Tin: noeic question.
Bover.it communications wero read as te
the price at which sover.il sories et roaders
would be furulshed, afler which tlie tcachers
present wcie asked te glve thelr vlews en
the merits of the soend series bofero thu
beard. Neuo of them availed themselves of
the opportunity, and Mr. Nauman moved
that the beard proceed te the adoption of a
series of readers, ile withdrew tlie motion
te allow Mr. Warfcl te offer the following
lesolutlen :
Jleselvcil, That the " llutler" serles of
readers, the "Swlnten" serles, tho"Li the"Li tho"Li
plncett" eeiles and the "Perter it Ceates"
series be adopted fornse in tlie Laucaster
city schools. And the book committee el the
school beard be directed te invite sealed pre
lvesals from the several publishers of the said
books, stating the tonus upon which they
will furnish their roaders te the pupils
in tlie publla schools in the city of Lancaster
for the ported et llve years. And said com.
inlttee be directed te award thu contract te
the publisher who is the lowest bldder, after
a satisfactory guiiruntee lias been given ier
the faithful performance et the ceutract.
Mr. Warfel iu support of the resolution
said the prices of the several series varied a
great deal and if the resolution he proposed
was adopted conslderablo meney would be
saved te the purchasers et roaders.
After 80U10 further discussion thu resolu
tion was laid en tholable by an almost unani

Mr. Nauman's motion te proceod te the se
lection of a series of roaders was adepted and
the roll showed the following result :

Mr. Spurrier meved that the beard ad

Tlie question of roaders cannot new be

many gross errors in ids final reiert of 18.41,
I deem It unfair te make comparisons with
it. I have, thoreforo, nsed my own repert

nearer actual results. Te illustrate the
California agricultural department, which
has several hundred correspondents
throughout the state, reports the crop
of 1W41 at 58,000,000 bushels. Profes Profes
eor Dedgo placed It ut 11,000,000.
The Kansas stale department, with 15,000
correspondents in the state, g.ive the total
yield or Kansas at 48,000,000: Professer
Dedgo figured It at 35,000,000 I). IL Wheeler,
statistician and secretary of the Nebraska
state beard, who has the best facilities for
getting information, placed the yield of his
state for 1&34 at l?.000,00e, und I'rnresser
Dedge makes it 23,000,000. This year Pro Pro
feseor Dedgo estimate the crop of .Nebraska
at 20,000,000 bushels, whlle Wheeler places
it at 10.000.000. and the National Millcr'a asse-
clallan who have n'hest of excellent ceitcn
