I. Dee of the board of education waa submitted to a meeting of the members last night: Ogden, Utah, Aug. 19, 1904. To the Members of the Board of Education of Ogden, Utah: Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit for your consideration a general report of the public schools of this district for the two years ending June 1, 1904. This period has one, good rebeen a sults being apparent In Improved work throughout all the grades In the city schools. In connection with a review of present conditions, I shall take occasion to point out some new Ideas in education which, In my opinion, It will be necessary to Incorporate Into our public school system at an early date. In ordpr to keep abreast of the progressive educatlonnl methods of the day. Keeping pace with the growth of our city, the number of children In attendance upon the public schools Is augmented ench year, necessitating an Increase In school accommodations. In 1890, the year in which Ogden was set apart as a separate school district, seven small buildings, aggregating seventeen rooms, were owned by the district, while twelve additional rooms were rented. Today the district owns 108 sixteen buildings, aggregating rooms, and only one room is rented. Gradually, as new buildings have been erected, the small, unsanitary buildings have been abolished, untllat the present time every pupil la housed In a and school. Since the Inst report the demand for more room has been met with the following improvements: During the year 1902 the Plngree school, situated on the corner of Thirtieth street and Plngree avenue, wae an addition of four rooms was made and a new and modern heating and ventilating plant Installed, at an expense approximating 88,000. This addition relieved the crowded condition of the school, and gave to the First want a commodious modern school building. In 1903 the Interior of the High school building was remodeled to make three new class rooms, and an eight-rooaddition made, nddlng eleven new class rooms to the school. most-successf- f well-light- I . ed ed m t f t m well-kno- well-balanc- ed continue r PEACHES H UTAH PEACHES are now at their best.

Another innovation which must shortly be made in order to keep our schools up in the march of progress is the establishment of a kindergarten department as part of our common schools. This work should be commenced as soon as the financial condition of the district will warrant the extra expense involved. I would call special attention to the of Superintendent Allison, report which gives in detail the actual work done in the schools, and would commend to your careful consideration the and suggestions recommendations made by him for Improvement in the future. I desire also to call attention to the brief historical sketch of thS schools of this district, prepared through the suggestion of the board by the superintendent. This information and data was gathered and compiled from a number of sources and is most Interesting, as well as valuable for future reference. The report of E. S. Rolapp, clerk of the Board of Education, shows In detail the transactions of the board during the fiscal year Just dosed, and reflects credit upon the clerk and treasurer for the manner In which the accounts have been kept. I am sure I voice the sentiment of the entire board when I extend thanks to Superintendent Allison for the untiring energy which he has brought to bear upon the work, nnd to the clerk and treasurer for good services rendered. The principals and teachers of the High school and those of each of the different grade schools have loyally supported the board and the superintendent in every effort to Improve the school system of our city. In conclusion, I wish to congratulate the members of the Board of Education upon the splendid showing made In this district during the pnst two years, snd to thank them for the Interest they have taken In the schools as evidenced by the hearty with which they, as a body, have labored for the welfare of education In Ogden. With sentiments of esteem for tjie members of the board, the foregoing is respectfully submitted. THOMAS D. DEE. President. AUGUST SATURDAY, JOURNAL.
