Superintendent Cardon's report for tho past year presents some matters of considerable general Interest. In Logan 71.2 per cent, of tho children of school age attended last year. However, How-ever, this city Is the lowest on the Utah list in tills respect. "Tho great stride forward was In the average number belonging," an Increase of 11.5 per cent, over 1005. In average number of days each pupil attended Logan ranks above Salt Lake City and Provo and practically abreast of Og- den. Supt. Cardorf gives the Juvenile Court and systematic records and reports re-ports credit for this last good showing. show-ing. Ho commends tho system providing pro-viding a Probation olllccr, expresses the belief that this, the first year of sucli work, proved highly successful, and expects that another year will bo even better. Tho following extracts aro quoted from the report: Good Pay for Women. Teachers: We had 02 teachers and two supervisors, 8 were In the grammar gram-mar and 21 were in the primary grades. Ten, or thirty-three per cent, of our teachers, had state certificates, one had a life diploma, eleven held renewable or acceptable certificates, six wero granted certificates by tlio local Board of Examiners, and two were given temporary certificates. In all I think the scholastic standing was good, but I believe that more stringent strin-gent requirements should be mado in accepting teachers into our teaching corps. The average number of years' experience each had had was 4-7 years. The male teachers had an average sal ary of $(J0,75 while the females had $50. 47. In 1001 Salt Lake City paid male teachers $115, female, $05; Ogdcn, $77. 01 and $50, respectively; Provo $08.70 $10, respectively. So Logan Is paying better salaries to female teachers than any other second class city in tho -state; but we pay a much lower salary to the males. Buildings Needed, Mention scarcely need bo made to this subject, for the Board has had H much of its attention called to this H feature of our schools during the past H year. At present we know that our H buildings aro too scattered. Instead H of having four or live large buildings, H wo have eight small ones with only H two large central ones. Provo, with H nearly 300 more pupils than we have, H has four largo central buildings which H amply accommodate the pupils and M give them much more satisfactory con- M ditlons. Inmy opinion our city should H be divided oil Into districts wherein M certain number of pupils rcsldo and In M that district, most conveniently situ- M atcd to those pupils, should bo erected M buildings of eight or twelve rooms as M the case may demand. At present wo M could divldo the city into four districts M and have enough pupils In each dls- M trlct to fill an eight-room building. M But we could convenience tho pupils M much moro by dividing the city into H live districts and erecting In two of M those districts buildings of four rooms M each to which could be added moro M rooms In the future. Our present two M central buildings would be the centers M of two moro of these districts and a H new building of eight or ten rooms H would be tho center of the fifth. H Notes. 'H The school year begins Monday, ,H September 10. Tho boundary lines M of the districts will be practically tho M same as heretofore. The only change B will bo that the Third and Fourth B H grades, In the Fifth ward,nd tho up- H per part of the SovcntlVward will go H to "tho Annex" Instead of tho Parry. 'H The parents shonld noto this fact. 'M Three new rooms havo been opcusd H this year, two at tho Woodruff and M one in Iho Ritcr building. H |
