McoBroom’s plan is to create | a fund to be devoted exclusively to! the library, and the best way to do! this would be by setting aside as a} fund,the money paid into the schools | for tuition, There are about four- teen or fifteen non-residents who pay five dollars a month tuition, and this would give the schools nearly one hundred new books a month. The superindent’s plan is a good one. There was a meeting of the teach. ers of the First and Second grades yesterday afternoon at the high school building, but no actien of importance was taken. These grades are the most crowded in the city. ‘There is very little sickness in the public schools, and the pupils are getting down to work rapidly. When the weather becomes more pleasant, study will be more successful, and all the pupils are looking forward to cooler weather with a great deal of anticipation.
