FAVORABLE REPORT ON PUBLIC SCHOOL MADE BY ,INSPECTOR (Continued. from Pugs 1) lin Mind the 'need for an additional man on he staff when a new appoint- ment is being made. "Malting clue allowance for limit- ati'ons imposed by the building USW, the accommodation and- equipineijit are reasonably adequate for meeting the most essential' needs of the pupils. The following. features should receive the attention of the Board: Lighting—It is understood that plans are already under way for the • much needed improvement in lighting. Seating—Some new single seats should be provided to replace the double seats in use in Miss Johnston's room. At present 16 pupils are us- ing double seats. In some of the other rooms, especially Miss Jamie - son's, a number of,the seats slant for- ward at an uncomfortable angle and should be 'repaired. Pupils' supplies—The Board should give consideration to the purchasing of all pupils' supplies. Since 50 per cent of such an expenditure is re- turned by the Department in grants, it would seem to be good business to see that every child is. provided with as much working material of good quality, as he needs it when he needs it. The present system. which result's in some children having an abundance of supplies while others have less than they need, is very unsatisfactory from any standpoint. Library—The supply of supplemen- tary reading books• is fair. Gradual improvement should be continued. A groat degree of cooperation with the town library number desirable. While.. a considerable number of pupils make Use of the library, arrangements might be made whereby its facilities would better serve the needs of all pupils above Grade I. Visual Education—The attention•of the Board is again called to educa- tional advantages available through provision of a .suitable machine for use of sound films. Large libraries of such films are available for school use free of charge. Nylon Hose We have word from the manufacturers that these will be available on Februaly 19th.
