We wish to commend the interest shown by our teachers in institutes and special courses of instruction which many of them are following in order to give our students the best instruction possible. We feel that the community would be benefited materially if a larger proportion gated thoroughly and" we believe our schools to, be fuUy abreast of the times. Particular attention is paid to present- ing all subjects in such a way as to pro- mote, as far as possible, qualities of de- pendability, self-reliance and good judg- ment. During the past two years a lim- ited form of student government in the higher grades has been developed to very good purpose. 't::.

A con- stant study of changing conditions is car- ried on, and at all times the members of the Board try to act in the interest of the other tax payers by a wise and economical expenditure of the public funds. Providing the riew property at 17th Street could not be delayed. The cost constitutes a burden which really should have been assumed somewhat earlier, but it will be distributed over several years and will actually prove to be an excellent investment for our people. Two buildings are now arranged so that additions can be made in the future at a minimum ex- pense; the personnel of our Organization is being developed with a view to such expansion as may be necessary later on: and in every way possible we have aimed establish a continuing policy of man- agement which will save money in the long run and promote efficiency. Finances are of special interest to the residents of the district, for tax bills are high. The amount of money ex- pended for all public purposes in a com- munity like ours should be kept within reasonable limits, and your Board of Education realizes this truth. In the last analysisgrtil^^^ -O^f^ne? money spent, whatever its amount, be spent wisely and this has been constantly in mind in all of our decisions. Salaries and current expenses have been controlled carefully and in the interests of lasting economy.. The cost per pupil enrolled amounts to $71.00 for the year. Comparison in this respect with other suburban communities is very fa- vorable. The new-building and grounds are costing nearly $200,000.00 of which $134,000.00 is being financed by the sale of bonds to be gradually retired within, twenty years.
