Immediately after my visits to the church schools in the
North, it will become necessary to attend the church schools
at St. Johns, Snowflake, and St Joseph, Arizona, that have
never been visited, and are clamoring for a visit. The dis-
tance I would entail ^cause^ expenses which I could not venture to in-
cur without special instructions from the General Board.
The irregularity with which many of our church schools have
commenced this year’s operations have in several instances
proved disadvantageous to our interests, in as much as some
very efficient teachers could not afford to wait until so late
in the season before the schools to which I had assigned
them would open, and I had to grant them the privilege
of accepting positions in district–schools. Some are asking
now for teachers after all available talent has been disposed
of.
P. S. Some Principals complain that there are members of their
respective Boards that have never taken an active part, never
attend Board–meetings, nor care for the school, or patronize it
in any way. They want to know what to do in such cases.
