wormer at a salary of 65 per month in the he pint first district school mrs jrsn N P F Mil lapaugh at a salary of 65 per month adopted SCHOOL SUPPLIES the following communication was wag read by mr snow GL W snow esq chairman on school work D DEAR ER SIR sin at the last meeting of the board the superintendent was instructed to procure supplies of pencils paper etc for the use of schools and to furnish famish them to pupils at cost at the outset in at tei tempting ngUng to carry out the instructions instruct iona of the board am met with this difficulty at wholesale most of the articles needed cost fractional parts of a cent for example slate pencils cost 16 1 6 of a cent each a sheet of drawing paper and that is as much as a pupil needs at one time would cost about 1 10 of a cent etc so it is evident if these things are furnished by the piece it will be practically impossible to sell them to pupils at cost and this method would also make of the teacher a petty patty merchant consuming con consuming sumin her time and greatly increase her ailous arduous duties I 1 in view of these difficulties permit me to recommend the following plan that the superintendent be authorized to furnish the principal of each school with the amount of supplies sufficient for his avi pupils and thattie that the principal be authorized t to s supply u aply each pupil as he needs it that at the be t end of each term or the middle middie if preferred the cost of such stationery be divided by the number of pupils enrolled in the school to got get the cost per pupil and at that time a bill be sent to parents of a form like the one enclosed I 1 would recommend that tb the e list of articles thus thins furnished pupils be the following drawing pencils drawing paper examination paper penholders pen holders and ancl peps pens my main purpose in asking that these articles be supplied in this way to is to secure uniformity and promptness saving can be effected for the benefit of parents parente As all these articles named are used by pupils of a room equally it is evident that the method named for dividing the cost will secure fairness very truly J F MILLS millspaugh FAUGH
