TRUSTEE's REPORT
The Ninth Annual Report of the Waveland public schools is herewith submitted and we are pleased to say to its friends and patrons that the advancement noted in last year's announcement has been continuous, and we will enter upon another year's school work with a bright and hopeful prospect for a successful year.
The school is better equipped than at any time in its history. The facilities for teaching have been added to from time to time until we take pride in our library and apparatus for instruction in the various departments. We have secured for instructors for the coming year an excellent corps of teachers, headed by Professor Mark Moffett as Superintendent with Professor Henry S. Kritz as Principal of the High School. Feeling that we have made a wise choice in the selection of teachers, we ask the earnest cooperation of all patrons of the schools, and non-patrons who are interested in educational matters, in order that the name and fame of the Waveland Schools may bring honor to our town. Do not forget that Waveland once shone as an educational center of more than local reputation, and now that the High School has taken the place of the Academy as a preparatory school for higher education, let us endeavor to advance the interests of our High School in every way possible, and make it second to none. Our natural surroundings are certainly favorable to study; our building new and in good sanitary condition; our town clean and orderly; and we feel confident that no school in the State can boast of a better corps of teachers.
Thanking you for your kindly interest and cooperation.
Yours Respectfully, F.N. Johnson, Pres; T.L. Hanna, Treas; S.M. McNutt, Sec; C.A. Kleiser, Township Trustee.

SUPERINTENDENT's REPORT
The inception of the term September 14th, 1896, found a considerable number of pupils in a state of tentative classification. It is interesting to note that with bare exceptions those permitted to enter upon the higher grade earned their spurs. This plan requires vigilant study, and the cooperation of the parents with the school.
Societies being already fully organized were very successful during the year. It needs only to be remarked that friendly criticism, yet sharp enough to elide errors, should precede the presentation of the exercises for each occasion. This latter seems not to have been the custom.
The joint societies on Washington's Birthday twined together Washington and Lincoln in a rare program at the Baptist Church building. The labor of this occasion fell largely upon the Junior Class and my assistant, Miss Eunice E. Little, but nearly all the high school helped in some form.
Chapel Exercises were led generally by some one of the clergy of the city and they were effective and spirited. Miss Spencer was helpful in this and in other ways, from the beginning.
The library has lost very few books, but many of the best ones are wholly neglected because they do not comprise stories nor novels.
All the teachers' meetings were called that were needed, considering the Township Institutes held in the building, which institutes I am glad to say were closely attended by the Waveland teachers. The Township Trustee, Mr. C.A. Kleiser, was an effective manager.
JOINT EXERCISES
The Washingtons and Longfellows held exercises under Miss Spencer and Miss Wray to incline the twig.
The pupils in Miss Anderson's grade kept a detailed report of the meterology of Waveland and were trained in the study of nature.
Miss Bland drew her children to the love of school and taught them that the school room is a happy and not a dreadful place.
Some unloading of the grade under charge of Miss Wray was needed, but there seemed no meth which would not throw super-abundant studies, upon the Higher Intermediate grade, which action I concluded would be the worse of two evils.
The Senior Class were for the most part closely attentive to their work and they were highly original in their experimental investigations. Their graduation themes were assigned to them and the main body of the compositions were produced in my presence. A reasonable freedom in execution was then permitted.
George L. Guy, Supt.

.......................................LIBRARY..................................................
The library was placed in an advantageous position for the use of the Intermediate Grades. The number of volumes should be 562, though some seem to have been lost. In training to the use of valuable, rather than entertaining books, merely, there needs to be judicious selection by the teacher. The Librarian, Miss Gertrude Hendrickson, discharged her duties faithfully, and she was paid three dollars for her work from the joint literary society fund.
