trict, flir. Light was unanimously elect-
ed. '
At this stage of the proceedings‘ Jere-
miah Donovan asked if Mr. Light's elec-
tion was in any way connected with the
tax rate, and also if it was not necessary
that a [ballot be taken and no officer
elected, according to the statutes, by ac-
clamstion. He was informed that it was
not connected with the laying of the tax,
and that the motion was not that the
vote he by acclimation, but that it be
unanimous. ‘ '
The remaining officers, treasurer, col-
lector and auditor, remain as before.
Upon motion of Mr. Woodward the
president prepared a ballot with Mr. Dick-
erman‘s name upon it for clerk, and that
gentleman will continue in his present
capacity. Alter this part of the business

fered the following resolution:

to elect a member of the committee
tossrve for the succeeding three years.
The meeting was called to order with

was then taken up by the reading of the
call bythe clerk. Next came the read-
ing of the committee's report by Mr.
Blanchard. It was as follows:

The annual reports of the district com-
mittee have shown, from year to year, a
constant increase in the number of child-
ren of school age residing in the district.
The enumeration list of October, 1893,
contains a total of 1262 names, or 40 more
than in the year preceding. This increase
also appears from the registered and ac-
tual attendance in our schools. For the
present school year the registered and
average attendance have been as follows:

other business. that of the school build.

Woodward's motion, however, was soo-
ended by several, and the meeting ad—

that some recognizance should be given

fioiently.

Only eight years ago the school build-

three to nine rooms. At the completion
of this building, the district was furnish-
ed with ample school accommodations
and several rooms to spare.
have Men filled up, one afte ,.anotlier,
and during the present sch ear it has
been necessary to provid for more than
one hundred children outside of the regu-
lar school rooms. A room has been
hired in the Knudsen building, and the
children in the lowest grade at Franklin
street, after having occupied, for a. time,
. one of the basement rooms. have been
crowded into the rincipal's office.
Whether the room in t ie Knudsen build-
ing can be cnga red for another year, is
uncertain, but t is chances are that it;
will be required for other purposes. In
say event, the probability is that room

ese temporizin expedients should
l nofll be unnecessari y continued. As a
: matter of justice to those children to
whom, under present conditions, 'usticc

trict to provide and equip suitable school
rooms, and to locate them where the ad-
vantages of direct and efficient super-
vision and proper grading of the school
work, can be most certainly secured.
Each child in the district is entitled to
equal school advantages with every other.
Our schools should not be unnecessarily
multiplied. and should all beiiiade equal—

munities should not be lost upon us, in
our present difficulties. The judgment
of men engaged successfully in practical
school work, in our own and otherstutcs.
should not be ignored. in the present
situation in this district, we may honest-
