The following is the report of the
publio school committee of HaleigK
made - to the : board of aldermen
and; referred to the committee on
amendmenta to the charter : !
To the Juonorablt Mayor ana Board
of Aldermen . .
GgHTLxxKir The school commit
tee, at a meeting-held December 12,
1888, resolved by a unanimous vote,
to submit to tour honorable body the
following statement of facts' touching
the history andt present needs of the
public schools :U-4
An act off the' General Assembly,
ratified March 12, 1877, authorized a
vote to be taken to determine whether
a tax should be levied, for the sup
port of one or more graded schools,
in townships of the State having with
in their limits cities of five thousand
inhabitants! and - jipwards. lit was
provided rasaid act that the taxes so
levied and collected should in ho case
exceed one-tenth of one per centum on
the talue of property and thirty cents
on the polL' Under this act the peo
le of Baleigh yoted in favor of gra-
ed schools, and, accordingly, a tax
was levied iof one-tenth of one per
cent, on property and thirty cents on
the poll for the support of schools for
both races.! The tax rate has never
been increased from that time to the
present dsy. In the following Sep
temper (1877) tUe Centennial Uraded
School was opened with between three
hundred and four hundred pupils, a
superintendent and seven teachers.
There are now two white schools and,
besides this superintendent,1 twenty
white teachers i and three assistant
teachers. , Although the valuation of
property has I gradually increased so
that it will not be necessary to make
euinorease in the' tax levy as large,
proportionately, as ' the increase in
attendance: and teaching force, never?
theless it heeds no argument to con-
Yinoe any man tuat a rate ol taxation
which, : eleven i years ago, yieided a
meagre support to one white school
with say four
seven teachers
hundred pupils and
is too small to mailt'
schools : with nearly
tain; two white
eleven hundred pupils and . twenty -
tnree teachers. Moreover, -we are
now greatly in need of another budd
ing to accommodate the white cnu
dren of the city. Our present force
is altogether i inadequate to do the
work tnat ought to be done for th
white children that are now' orowdin
our schools to j overflowing, fja fact,

uireenours a aay jmoi only are
many; of our school-rooms Crowded
beyond reason, but Ktherei is now ur-
Senft need of at least one hundred new
esks; In several rooms we are com
pelled, by adopting 'the double sess

daily accommodate four children. In
other cases little children! have been
forced to sit on )6ngj ben ches wholly
unnt.ior tnem, at! no small degree of
aiscomiort and, perhaps, bodily in
jury. ' In the matter! of school appli
ancec. so necessary in all true teach
ing," we i have- absolutely nothing of
value except what ; the teachers have
contrived to fashion for have paid for
outfof their own salaries. J la regard
to the; work ! of the I schools jre have

accomplished (with all its imperfec
tions by reason of ; hnman frailty and
tuBiriuuuuvaoie auncuiuefi; ts a Bul
fioieat guarantee i to the! people of
Baleigh that an additional appropri
ation to make the 1 schools better will
be wisely and economically expended
in tne interests or the children. r.
! As to the colored school we do
not hesitate to declare thai they have
been greatly 1 improved, t Better
houses were absolutely fnecessary.
The bn tidings, therefore,! have been
remodeled, the groahds at the Gar
field School have been enlarged and,'
altogether, no pains have Wen! spared
to dp au that could be reasonably ex
pected to raise I these schools . to a
higher plane of effioienoy ajidiuseful

a redent letter to the New Yorfc-World,

(Botanic Blood Balm) has gained many
thousand victoneainas many seemingly

Balm Co., Atlanta for "Book of Won

O. W. Messer, Howell's X Beads, Oa.,
writes: I was afilicted nine years with
sores. All the medicine I could take did
me no good. I then tried B. B. B., and
eight bottles cured me sound.1
Mrs. S. if. Wilson, Round Mountain, '

was troubled with bumps and pimples on
her face and neck. She took three bot
tles of B. B. B., and her skin got soft and

health improved greatlr." 1 .;,
Jas. L. Bosworth, Atlanta. Oa., writes:

poison. I had no appetite, my digestion
was ruined, rheumatism drew up my
limbs so I could hardly walk, my throat'

of torture until I gave B. B. B. a trial,
and,' surprising as it may seem, the use
of five bottles cared me." ".rf-
