X , Board of Education URLINGTON has always been fortunate in her Board of Education. The personnel of this body is at present as follows: Mr. F. L. Williainson, Chairman, M. I. P. Montgomery, Treasurer, Mrs. T. D. Cooper, Mr. R. W. Barriwell, Mr. C. M. Horner, Dr. J. P. Spoon, and Mr. D. R. Fonville. They give unstintingly of their time and thought to the improvement and advancement of our schools. The enrollment for the present year is as follows: High School ............. . 362 Broad St. Elementary . . . S29 Maple Avenue School . . . 413 Fisher Street School . . . 397 Total ..... . 1701 Colored School . . . 425 Grand Total ..................... 2.126 It was again necessary at the beginning of the present term to rent the build' ing belonging to Mr. Ernest Murray on Rumn Street, in which at present are housed one room of the first grade and one room of the third grade. This building has seven rooms, and they will probably all be in use next year. The time is, therefore, close at hand when it will be necessary for the city to vote more bonds with which to put the fourth building which will be erected in the first ward. The site was secured at the same time the Fisher Street and Maple Avenue Schools were erected. According to observers outside of Burlington our schools take high rank, and are among those leading in library facilities, the health program and physical education, modern school cafeterias, the teaching of thrift, the organization and classification of pupils to meet individual needs, visual education, clean' liness and beautification of buildings and grounds, and a thoroughfgoing businessflike system of school accounting and financing. All accounts are carefully audited the hrst of july each year, and a full report is published. The schools have for several years more than lived within their income and have thus reduced the small indebtedness which accumulated during the war period when costs increased faster than income from taxes.
