Their report In substance was as follows: ' After careful consideration of the matters in question we have decided to make the following changes, to take effect at the beginning of the school year. First: To elect a Superintendent who shall have full and complete control over both schools and who should be respon sible for their conduct and working. Second: We abolished the office of Vice Principal of the Barclay school and created the office of Principal. We found that the new arrangement, by a re-ajust-ment of salaries, could be made without any additional cost to the district and that it would greatly strengthen the school. We also determined that some other changes in salaries should be made in tbe interests of justice to the teachers and consequently increased the salaries of the two primary teachers $5 00 per month and that of the 8th grade teachers in the Barclay School (2.60 per month. Our salary roll now stands as follows: Superintendent $1244 00 Principal, Barclay 675 00 " Eastham 675 00 8th grade teachers, $40 per mo 2,880 00 2nd " " 45 " 810 00 j 1st " " 42 50 ' 1,382 50 Total $15,0(10 50 This is an increase over last year of $112 50.
