sat salt lake caty gentlemen I 1 have the honor to present herewith a report on the attendance in the various schools of bf th the city 41 1 I desire to call especial attention to the inadequate accommodations afforded by most of the existing school buildings for the large number of pupils who are enrolled in them unfortunately it is customary in many places to estimate the capi capacity city of a schoolroom by its floor measurements only disregarding entirely the cubic space which should belong to aae each h upil pupil in order to secure for him healthful healthful change of air under the conditions which presented presente 4 th themselves em selve to your bono honorable rable body at the 0 I 1 pening of school in september last the prospect of a doubling of school attendance with no opportunity to make preparation tor for it there was vias fio no way of escaping the necessity of consider ing our school accommodations from one point of view only namely how many pupils could L be crowded into the various rooms now however when the attan attendance dance at these schools has been somewhat settled I 1 believe e it would be wise wire to take into consideration the needs of the city in this direction not for the immediate present alone but looking somewhat to the future as well there are at the present time eighteen public school buildings the property of the district in use nse in these bail buildings dings are forty eight rooms for the seating of pupils twenty five rented rooms also are u used sed for the same purpose making a total of seventy three there are at the present time in actual daily attendance in the public schools odthe of the city pupils der rules adopted by the board when a upil pupil from sickness or other cause gas has been absent from his classes five days ho he ha w no longer considered a member of the school and is marked withdrawn pupils who are thus withdrawn but will return to the schools would increase the number oven given above fully 10 per cent making it it is important to note this his increase for while such pupils are not in actual attendance at the arese prese present 1 3 t timp time yet they are arc likely to return a at t any time lime and the school must reserve sittings gittings for them making another addition of those who have been members of the schools but have withdrawn permanently the number would be increased to fully as the total enrollment of the schools for the year ear to dato date the re smallest estimate that I 1 can find given for floor space which should be allotted to each pupil 1 is I 4 fifteen square feet in the competition for model schoolhouses took place in new lew york in the patronage of the sanitary Engh engineer teer the minimum of floor space wa was to be fifteen square feet

clarks work was published by the bureau of education in this treatise sixteen square feet are allotted to each pupil in this report I 1 make the smaller number the basis of computation for example on
