All I.lnt-i.
In accordance with a provision rf Iho
nnd regulations of Ihe Board of Education ,
Prof. II. I ) . Hajdcn , superintendent if the
city schools , yesterday fill ) . ! his annual re
port for the year ending Junu 10. The re
port Is a most exhaustive ono > nnd rhows
the condition and progress of the tchools
and suggests such mcnsuroa as In his judg
ment will be conducive to their Improve
ment. In view of Iho pending litigation over
the new high school his rep irt an.l . sugges
tions on Iho condition of the present high
school buildings nre timely and of consMer-
able Interest. Ills report In p.trt follo.vs :
The control and direction of the schools
lojgo primarily , under the low of the i.tale ,
In the board of seven school directors
elected by the people. The authority vested
In the city superintendent Is delegated by
Ihls board , and through him Its plans
nnd general policy for the administration
of the schools reach the principals nnd
teachers nnd are carried Into cffecl.
Under this delegated nuthorlty It has
been the purpose of your ntiperlntendent
to organize the work of the schools upon
a somewhat more definite basis than had
characterized It In the Immediate past. To
this end It hns been our endeavor to In-
i crease the feeling of responsibility Upon
j ' the part of prlnclpafs and teachers. To
this endeavor principals and teachers have
I responded loyally with the result that wo
I feel lhat the year just closing hns cecn n
positive advance made In the organization
and clllcleucy of our schools.
Coiirnc ot Study.
This systematizing has taken two direc
tions. It has been carried out In the ( 'e.n-
ernl management and control of the schools ,
nnd It has been applied to the instruction In
them. Nearly a yenr ago this board di
rected the superintendent to prepare n
course of study. But , knowing that since
thu publication of the last printed course
of study rndlcnf changes had been made In
some lines of the work of the graded
schools , It seemed to us best to v/ork out
the course In the school rooms before pre
senting It to this board for adoption. To
this end frequent meetings ot the principals
and superintendent have been held nnd
plans made looking toward the organizing
of the work of the several grades of the
city schools. Committees of the principals ,
under the direction of the superintendent ,
have compnred the grade work of one
building with that of others , nnd In con
ference with the superintendent have de
veloped the outlines which will be the basis
for the course of study which it Is our
pl'an to submit to the approval of this
board at an early meeting. Much ot the
work of our schools has already been BO
adjusted that the pupils of any gl.ven grade
In the several buildings are doing work
much more nearly parallel than a year ngo.
The teachers need for their more definite
guidance n printed outline of the work ns
It is now planned ; this outline we hope to
have ready for them by the beginning of
the fall term.
Attendance.
The enrollment In the schools has nhown
a marked Increase during the year. A nota
ble fact In regard to this Increase Is that it
Is generally affecting all the schools within
the city proper and some of the suburban
schools.
But while the Increased enrollment In the
schools Is gratifying and the per cent of
attendance and of punctuality shows im
provement , we believe that a higher stand
ard yet should bo attained nnd maintained.
To accomplish this win require the com
bined efforts ot teachers and parents. Both
nre Interested In the child ; each Is so re
lated to him as lo be In n position to in
fluence his school nttendnnce. I believe
that our teachers have been faithful in this
matter ; 1 fear that all too often parents
permit minor matters to Interfere with iho
school attendance of their children. Wo
shall endeavor In the coming year to secure
the more active co-operation of parents
with the teachers on this point.
IiiMtriictlon ,
The rife and work of the children in our
schools now begin with the kindergarten
as n part of our regular graded system.
Hero the child learns his first lessona of
carefully directed physical and mental activ
ity. The games of the kindergarten teach
him 'to act In harmony with others under
direction ; the occupations and the sifts
give him Ideas of form and dimension and
prepare the way for his number work Jaler
on ; the stories give htm names and ex
pression and prepare him for his work In
language nnd reading ; manipulation of the
kindergarten material lays the foundation
for his manual training In paper cuttings ,
drawing and penmanship. The support of
this department by the parents of nttend-
Ing children has been continued nnd hearty ;
the attendance of parents at the Mothers'
meetings has been n great encouragement
to the work and hns brought parents nud
workers Into contact and sympathy.
In this connection 11 gives mo pleasure to
report the success that has been attained Jn
Iho training school feature of this depart
ment. The kindergarten workers consist of
a directress nnd n paid nsslstnnt for ench
two klndergnrtens ; In .addition to these ,
valuable assistance Is rendered by Volun
teers who donate their services , receiving as
compensation practical training In the kin
dergartens nnd n regular course of r.tudy
In the theory nnd methods of the work un
der the efllclent direction of the supervisor
of klndergnrtens , Mrs. L. M. Hardman.
This courto covers two years with regular
clnss hours after 4 o'clock each day. At
the close of this work the volunteer Is
qualified to enter upon regular work nnd
n certificate of such proficiency Is nwnrded.
Thus wo nro training our own workers nnd
fitting some lo go out Into other fields as
regular trained klndergartners , And In re
turn for this training much valuable work
Is being done In our kindergartens without
expense to the dls'rlct. We have just
graduated our first class of trained workers.
In the regular grades especial attention
had been given to the number work and
new methods had recently been Introduced.
While duo attention has been given to the
number work In IhoMciwer grades the ques
tion of reading , with allied work In lan
guage and spelling , has had our especial at
tention during the year. Wo believe that
Instruction In reading should cover two dis
tinct lines drill nnd practice. For drill a
regular text nnd a btudled lesson are essen
tial ; for pracllce a supply of Interesting
nnd Instructive reading mailer to be rend !
nl sight la required. Through the kind In- .
tercst of your honored board both these i
needs have been mot. The series of readers - '
ers adopted by you have been purchased by
the pupils nnd nro giving excellent natls-
fncllon to pupils , teachers nnd patrons ; and
Iho supplementary readers purchased by
Ihe board have proven most valuable In the
work. By reason of this supply of needed ,
material nnd through the earnest. Intelli
gent work of the teachers , marked improve
ment In the reading Is already noticeable in
the schools.
Under our present plan the child In the
primary grade first learns lo read script
from the blackboard ; for practice work nt
his desk he takes his first steps toward
writing and spelling by reproducing the
words which his teacher hns written upon
the board and taught him to read. A little
later on he begins -to name the letters In
tha words that he has learned , Formal j
work in spelling follows and this , belli . ral
nnd written , Is emphasized throughout the '
grades.
Tha work in language Ij nt first oral ,
using the words from the reading lessou.
This leads up to the written work and is
continued through the course , comprising
ooth constructive sentence and paragraph.

higher grnden. The series of InnRimgi
books adopted by the board last fall 1m ;
been pnrtlnlly Introduced ! the Introductloi
will be completed In September nnd thi
work In language nnd grammar fully or
ganlzed.
In other studies only slight modification
have been mndo during the year. A1
changes made have been brought about 1 > :
a gradual transition and the work of tin
pupils has thus not been seriously disturbed
Illicit Selmol.
The year Just closed hns been n year o
marked growth nnd development In the
High school. During the school year 1897-0 !
we enrolled 403 students , closing the ycni
with 314 after deducting the number grnd'
unted. Last September we opened with SSf
nnd the tolnl enrollment for this yenr hns
been 44S. After deducting the flfty-twc
graduates wo closed Ihe last regular inontl :
of this year with 3.19 belonging. A class ol
eighty-live has just been promoted to the
High school , so thai our numbers will casllj
reach -150 In Ihe early months of next year ,
The work of Iho school has been broad
ened ns Its numbers have Incrcnscd. We
now have the studies so arranged that the
students may complete any one of the five
courses , classical Latin scientific , German
scientific , English scientific , or business.
Each of Ihcse courses covers four years.
Provision Is mndo for the student Who de
sires n shorter course In commercial or other
work by permitting , under the direction of
the principal , a selection of such studies
as ho needs nnd granting n certificate of
proficiency nt the close of his work. The
scholastic work of the school has shown n
marked Improvement during the year nnd
additional recognition has been accorded us
by the colleges , for all of which great credit
Is duo to Principal W. N. Clifford , whoso
first year of zealous , untiring work with us
has certainly been crowned with success.
The question of room accommodations for
the school Is now n serious one. Wo have
been obliged to carry a clnss of fitly Hlu-
dcnls at the Washington Avenue school dur
ing the past semester. We shall need to
use two rooms In that building for High
school purposes during the coming term.
The ward school accommodated hero is
steadily growing nnd will soon need the
entire building. The problem of High
schools accommodations now confronting
this board Is Indeed n serious one.
I nm unnble to express my regret over
the complications that have arisen nnd that
now bid fair to make the erection of a new
building Impossible. I understand that it is
not my province to prescribe what buildings
or other equipments the schools shall have ;
that Is n question devolving for solution
upon this board nlone. Personally , I am con-
lenl lo join hands with the principal nnd
faculty of the High school In the endeavor
to give this city the best High school possi
ble In such accommodations ns Ihe city ,
through this board , may furnish for our use.
But the school children of this city , who
fairly earn their promotion lo the High
school , are already suffering n deprlvallon
of privilege In being compelled lo lake up
High school studies under ward school con
ditions. No city In the state has greater
reason lhan Council Bluffs to bo proud of
the young people lhat constitute its High
school ; no school exists where the Hludcnts
more fully appreciate nnd improve their op-
porlunllles. In behalf of these young people
ple , our High school students , I make bold
to recommend most respectfully that this
board make every effort possible to provide
adequate accommodations for our rapidly
growing High school.
Special lirniichc.H.
The work In music has been carried for
ward with spirit during the year. Perhaps
no other branch ot the work touches BO
many of the people as this. In the home ,
In the social circle , In the public assembly ,
all through life , Iho pupil will have an op
portunity lo use what ho has acquired. An
excellent spirit has been apparent in the
work of our pupils. Our supervisor , Miss
Porterfleld , has been fallhful to her duties
and the results attained have been very
pleasing.
Of a more positive- pedagogical vnlue is
the work In penmnnshlp and drawing. Train
ing the eye and the hand only partially ex
presses the Importance of the work of this
department. It would be more correct to
say thnl Iho powers of observntlon and ot
expression nro the ones developed by the
Instruction nnd practice In penmanship nnd
drawing. To the attainments maclo by the
pupils In this department must bo added
the most creditable results of the nchool
room decoration movement Inaugurated 1'ast
fall. The development of a true nrt ( spirit
among the children and the beautifying of
the walls of school rooms nnd corridors cn-
Ulles the vnrlous ladles' clubs of the city
and the supervisor of this department ,

CniiNlilcniUiiii ot n I'rniiiiHltlnn for a
City Klpotrlu LlKlidnR I'limt.
At the adjourned meeting of the city
council last night the matter of the proposi
tion of the Municipal Construction company
to build the city an electric lighting plant
was brought up by Alderman Casper with
a motion that Israel Lovett , until recently

surveys for such a plant. A commltleo con
sisting' of Aldermen Casper , Sayles nnd At
kins was appointed by the mayor to consult
with Engineer Lovett and make the neces
sary nrrrnngements. 'President ' Draffen of
the Construcllon company addressed the
council briefly In support of the employment
by the city of nn engineer to outline Iho
needs of the city as regards a plant , ns his
company would not be able to make any
definite proposition until It knew exactly
what the city needed. The employment of
Mr. Lovett wns the only action token by
the city In this mntlor.
Hon. George F. Wright on behalf of the
Union Pacific Hallway company suhmltlod a

lution wns laid over without action until

lution expressly provides that the granting
of the permission to erect the bridge shall
not In any manner walvo the rights of the

Pacific's occupancy of Union avenue.
