and reads as follows Having the past few days visiting the different departments of your Public School permit me send you a brief report The- Staff The Hoards Is to DO congratulated on having In both schools a staff of who are not only legally qualified but who ore nearly all ex perienced us well as capable and ef ficient I commend the care and he good Judgment exercised by ho Hoard Its selection of teachers their assignment of work This I hope will always prevail since the greatest factor in education will al ways he the teacher The King School has been especially fortunate In keeping the excellent so long unchanged The harmony and spirit of union among the and heir loyally towards the Prin cipal and complete absence of Jeal ously towards each oilier Is surely a of great satisfaction to- the Hoard and he Principal I believe this harmony and spirit of team play prevails also at the Alexander Muir School The Staff here Is good Miss Morning I bellevOi will be a strong assistant and Miss Hewitt is doing very promising work for her first year The discipline In all divisions was excellent Work The subject of Agriculture intro duced partly through the of greater production has proved to bo well worth while Miss Morton deserves credit In having taken two summer courses at A to obtain a certificate In Agriculture and fit herself for the better of tlds subject I hope this work will be continued it la not an extra as It Is taken In place of Nature Study al ready on programme of studies Agriculture Is the very best kind of practical and useful nature study in future the Hoard would bo wise to encourage its teachers to keep themselves educationally and profes sionally fit by availing themselves of the various summer courses Teachers of a single grade run some becoming narrow and rusty it would be well spent if the Board would encourage such work on the spirit Of its teachers Another subject I wish he Board to encourage Is Music In our graded schools surely one teacher on the staff can be found or made competent Icaou music singing is good but singing by note and at sight Is vastly belter and this can easily be learned even by quite young children This will not Involve atf extra teacher A mere exchange of rooms mi pari he teachers during the period this for wonderful results possible as well as for the very liberal extra grants to teacher and to Board The Accommodation The attendance enrolled of pupils an average of each almost shows that the accommoda tion Is already Insufficient Three in King George School and two or three In Alexander School are overtaxed Miss McPhorson and Miss Hayes especially have very heavy classes see no relief except by opening another room In some tem porary quarters If this wore done January to Juno It would give Imme diate relief After summer holidays the rooms may possibly be suf ficient again The buildings appear to be well eared for found all rooms halls and basements clean and comfortable The Janitors are doing their work well Salaries While I agree with and approve of Hie discrimination shown by the Hoard the schedule of salaries In view of the increasingly high cost of living urge an Increase of all salaries The cost of Jiving Aurora and New market is higher than in many other where liberal Increases been made In this matter the care- lakers should by all means be In cluded In conclusion lot mo
