Excerpt from Thirty-First Annual Report of the Board of Education: For the Year Ending June 30, 1885 President's Report to the annual publication issued by your Body, first asking your considerate indulgence for lack of care in its preparation, arising from the small amount of time which my professional duties have placed at my disposal. The work done in the construction of new school buildings during the past year has been considerably in excess of that of any former year. I shall not make mention of it in detail, but will call your attention to a tabulated statement, in condensed form, to be found in the report of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds. In the matter of the construction Of school buildings, the improvements inaugurated are as worthy of men tion as the extent Of the work accomplished.
