to the people Prof William S Rawllngs the present superintendent has held the position for the past ten years and has given general l satisfaction Under his supervision there has been a steady advancement along educational lines The teachers under Superintendent RawllntTH are decidedly earnest in their work Much credit Is due the members of the present Board of Education and their predecessors They have been progressive In their vlewn and ko far is public funds would permit they have erected model school buildings and furnished them in an uptodate manner man-ner l There are at present four public school buildings namely The Parker with eight departments the Tlrnpano gas with six the Maser with eight l and the Franklin with ten The last two named buildings were erected In 18HS and In 1000 respectively arid without bonding More school room however Is much needed and the board will probably in the near future erect n more commodious central building From a professional standpoint the present year is perhaps the most successful suc-cessful In the history of the Provo City schools The corps of teachers is stronger than ever before and > a larger number of pupils is In attendance Of the 2300 pupils whose names appear on the census rolls more than twothirds attend the district schools and many others having graduated from the city schools are In attendance at higher Institutions in-stitutions of learning l In this city and lsewhere The graduates this year will number over one hundred It Is Ito I-to be regretted that there is no public high school for them to enter There are however two denominational schools in the city doing high schoolwork school-work and this is probably the reason Provo has been backward in supplying high school facilities People are h pinS p-inS that with the erection of a central building the board will be able to provIde pro-vide for at least two years of high school work Manuul training has received an impetus im-petus this year under the supervision super-vision of Prof E H Estman Excellent work Is being done by the pupils of the several schools and henceforth manual training win be an Important feature in school work The principals of the four schools are as follows S P Eg gertsen of the Parker George Powel son oi the Tlmpanogas Enoch Jorgensen I Jorgen-sen of the Maeser and T M Jenson of I the Franklin Each school has an anniversary day which is observed every year by the rendition of suitable exercises MUSIC The recognition of the high musical standing of Provo City IH quite general and much credit is due Use public schools for the development and cultivation culti-vation of the musical talent hich is such a characteristic feature of the city Prof J It Boshard Is the present supervisor of music which position he has occupied for several years with great success Prof A C Lund of the Brigham T h university has done much pto > I ard tire higher musical education both In college and out of it
