What could not be expressed in the table will be commented upon in the following re port. Hut• Many of our school buildings are ornaments to the county, especially those which have been erected dur ing the past year or two. The zeal displayed and the efforts put forth in this direction, by the school officers of Raccoon, Hanover, Chippewa, Big Beaver (Ind.) Moon (Ind.), Is land Run (Ind.), Frinkfort Springs, and Beaver Falls districts, are mat ters of special congratulation. The cost of the; houses in the rural dis tricts will average 81,600 each; and in the borough of Beaver Falls, $35,- ow. A number of other districts are making preparations for the building of school houses during the coming year. 5CH00L.2.4 There are 49 graded and 134 ungra ded schools in the county. One half of the schools were eminently suc cessful; one fourth gave general satis faction, and the remaining one fourth were indifferent. The reasons as signed for the non-successful ones may be thus stated: A lack of qual ified teachers to fill all the schools of the county; a want of close, constant supervision of schools on the part of an efficient local officer. The educa tional sentiment of the community not to harmony with their educa tional progress. Many of our lead ing schools, both graded and ungrad ed, were taught by lady teachers; and it is but an act of justice to these schools as well as to the leachers themselves, to commend the very high degree of excellence to which they attained. Our people are not disposed to draw lines of distinction between the sexes; but they clearly recognize the principle that talent in the discharge of school room duties is to be regarded more than sex. Nothing has been more clearly dem onstrated during the past year or two, than that ladies having the re quisite qualifications in learning, ex perience, and executive ability, are as capable of managing schools of a high grade as are those of the oppo site sex., In view of these facts ma ny of our boards of educatiou make no distinction in the salaries they pay their male and female teachers. TEACIIERS One hundred and ninety-five teach ers were employed duringlthe past year. 1 have already intimated that some of our teachers did not fulfil the trust inifposed in them nor did they meet the expectations of the friends of popular education. There is noth ing that I have to report to the head of the school department which caus es me so much pain as this. Failure in the school room means a want of fidelity to the trust imposed in the teacher; it means a grievous wrong done to the boys and girls of the county which can neither he recalled nor repaid; it meads the squandering of public funds which patrons of the schools furnish in order that their children may receive an education as a part of their inheritance; it means a blow at educational progress, and, in consequence, a blow at the profes sion itself. One failure will retard progress more than a dozen successes w il l a d vance it. The teacher who fails does not only the public a wrong, but does au incalculable in jury-to his co-laborers in the great work of popular education. It gives me pleasure, on the other hand, to bear testimony to the zeal, energy, and fidthfulneas which the great body dour Optimize dbiplayed In the co , - duct: o lll44l*h' .ectioohr they' haye , not on lidded oral honors i t Aroititial top ousla bus have *coin- plishemi eatark In he Interests of hu- inanity Mid In alt that makes a Opm windy great, strong, and -prosper ohs, tlutt-Willsivally compare with the effort : spirt forth by any class at ter citizen*, professlorthi or- non-pro slotial.,.

Many , of this class, it is true, close their schools with a certain ec/cif, ,b4t, .as a general thing, there are wanting, upon the part of their echo lers,that intrinsic love of learning, development of thought, evidence or menial discipline, conscious Intent genes and self-reliance, which char acterize the instructions of the 'enerr :Unprofessional teacher. There is st 11 another class of teachers which ve.: become ecorrewhat fossidzal. Conscluus of haying lived beyond their usefulness they take a mautillu delight in disparaging active educa tional work. They speak lightly of the - means and-appliances which are used to promote general intelligence and to advance the cause of popular education. They are the natural al lies of that unfortunate chiss of otir fellow•eitizens, who fad to appreciate the benefits of schools,, of a school . system, or of a school education. Thus mated they play . a dismal' part on the great stage of intellectual ac tion. In view of an occupation which to them, is of saddle -importance, a calling which, 'to them, :Is destitute of hOtionthle ambition, and - a busi ness ,which, to them, is of so little Worth, it is a matter of some surprise why their self-respect does not at once compel them to abandonsehool reom duties forever. It may be con fidently asserted that neither the Cause of education nor the education al Interests of the children will be at all the losers. There are others who, desirous of securing positions in our sehools, and on account of the scarci ty of qualified: teachers are some tintessuccessful—who have not qual ified themselves for the calling of teachers. Their' education is deft.v tire. Little or no preparation, on their art, ha§ tiem made to fit them selves lei so important a position as educators. Still many of them would by proper culture and training be come useful and sumessful teachers. The great ,want of our county, in this connection, Is a Normal Train ing School for the benefit of thoto who are to be the educators of the children. But of this 1 will have something to say further on. HER? t you *Ay ! nlt lllily 213213 Tweuty-six public examinations were had. fhe following method was adopted in the examination of applicants for certificates:, One hun dred and ninety questions were asked ou the several branches which are required to be taught in our public schools. Ninety to one hundred per Cent. of the questions answered cor rectly received, grade seuveuty to ninety, grade 2 ; sixty to seventy, trade 3..

I should like to rework,. in 'tossing • •a. •nt.itavould went, to w rste the per centage on the certificate, In place of the figures 1, 2,3, tic., to represent the per centage. The plan of licensing teachers, as in dicated above, was eminently satis factory. lam free to say that it has been instratneatid in giving a char acter to certificates issued by the Su perintendent which has not been so apparent heretofore. Two hundred and two applicants received provisional and seven pro fessional certificates. Forty-seven were rejected. =I EMI A community receives but little advantage mom laws if they are not intelligently executed. The school law of Pennsylvania is everywhere regarded as a model, and admirably adapted to the development 'of the mental resources of the State. There can be no doubt of the excellency of our school system when properly ad -ministered; and the efficiency of the law, when faithfully executed. It is a question, however, whether we are reaping the full benefit of the system, for the want of an intelligent execu- Lion of the law, and a minute super vision of the schools under its provi sions. Perhaps the most imperfect, part of our Educational Spasm is found in . the supervision of schools. The State Superintendent, in speak ing of this matter, says: " Distric „ supervision by a competent officer is ' necessity. We now have State 'so- Pery ision which can be strengthened, needed.as vision, and to some extent city and borough supervision; but we need a supervision that will extend its watchful eye to every school house, to every tweher, to every class, to every pupil, and to every lesson. No work of any moment can be (=- tied on without supervision. It, ex ists in all our shops, mills, furnatx-s, and factories. No business wan would think of managing such au enterprise without it. flie Pennsyl vania Railroad has been retest-est to as an example of their power of or ganization. See how carefully the great railroad kings who control it provide fur the supervision of-work. ' They have Superintendents and sub- Superintendents scattered all along the line. Their system of inspection extends toevery bridge, to every rail and tie. It is close and careful. We ought to have the same kind of in spection for oui schools, and without it we will lose n large amount of force and money, anti our children Will be made to sutler the bad consequences. County Super i tutendents minuet per form the duty of supervision. They can visit the schools of their respective counties once: or twice a year ; but while such visits may be wade valu able, they do not give opportunity fur that close,constant, and critical super-. vision which our schools need . . And, besides, county Superintendents have other work to do. They should hold county institutes and local institutes; address the people wherever audi ences can be iissetubled ; prepare- ed ucational matter_for the press, and be ever ready to give advice to all ask ing It concerning the interests of ed ucation. These duties, in connection with the examination of teachers, fill up all the time of a county Superin tendent and take all his strength. School directors are unable to per form the duty of supervision. They can, asAhe law requires, visit the schools under their control, but such visits, although .valuable, are not what is needed. To produce the right results, they should be made by professional .experts. No one can properly inspect a school who is not himself a teacher. The whole mat ter is summed up in this : A closer supervision of out - schools is needed in - Ilie several districts of the Com monwealth than is possible tinder our present organization ; and there seems to be no way of bringing it about except by the appointment of well qualified officers for that purr pose.' It should no longer be a question with us whether a town or rural dis; EXAMINATIONS St:FICK/L.

The time will come, no doubt,. when not only the educational inter ests; but the municipalities them selves will be consolidated. They. support, at present, forty- fi ve schools in ten house. No sy I can not con ceive of any official' act on the part of school officers which would be of more advanange to the educational wants of the s e towns, the prosperity of the schools and the progress ofthe scholars, than the election of an ef ficient officer to superintend and su pervise these schools. since the pol icy of electing female principals and female assistants. is being very gen erally adopted by the several Boards of Education, the selection of a male superintendent will commend itself to the judgement of schen! officers. ,I most respectfully lubmit the sub ject to the earnest consideration of the intelligent gentlemen who are thlotlicial representatives of the ed ucational affairs of these towns. The same general principal is ap plicable to our rural. schools. For example, let Hanover and Raccoon, or Hanover and Greene districts, unite in selecting a District Superie lendent. Ohio, Brighton and indus try; New and North Sewickley, ate. These, of course, are simply exam ples. Any combination comprising from eighteen to twenty-five schools would be found practicable. It is not to be supposed fora moment that any or every one is capable of till ing this position. An incompetent officer would do more harm than good. Better, far better, the schools be forever without this supervision than cursed with incompetency. Dis trict supervision is no experiment. It has been fairly tested in many counties of the State. The reports are, that it has given very general satisfaction to all classes of'persons. Directors assert that, where the Dis trict Superintendent; vorlied, the progress of the school was "five fold." Surely the subject is worthy of candid consideration and serious thought on the part lof all honest, earnest men and women who have she cause of education at heart. 1 I icinEß EIWCATTON Many of our graded scoots have what is called a High School Depart ment. They are valuable auxiliaries made a.cemcmit, per hapA; sources of the several districts will permit. Still the currimuluin of studits does nut meet the wants of our advanced scholars, nor satisfy the demands of an advanced educational sentiment. It is, moreover, doubt ful whether any of our townsare able in a pecuniary sense, to suppot a High School proffer, certain it is that if any or all of them could do so, the expenses of the teaching element alone would have to be greatly in creased. The most feasible as well as the most economical plan to obtain this higher education, is, in the esti mation of many, to . establish a CEN TRAL Mott Settom„ whore the graduates of the la - Ammar Schools could compfele their education—an education which would he fur supe rior to any which the select schools, seminaries or academies could possi bly provide, and where the poorest boy or girl in•our midst would be the peer of the wealthiest in• mental at- IPLinments and educational advanta ges. The school could be under the management of a Board of Control. A High School, with its three de partments, viz: High School or Academic Department, Normal De partment, and Commercial Depart ment, is, in truth, with us, a neces sity NOILM A L SCIIWI Efforts tate' been at. differ- Ent times during the past six •ears, to establish a State Normal School in this district, composed of the cuuti ties.of Beaver, Allegheny, and But ler. While nothing definite has been ackcomplished, the evidences are that the project will be' - earnestly prose cuted within - the next few years. - the friends of education ire the tnetintime should make some provi- 7 sion for the establishment of a Train ing School for the teachers of the county. There are hundreds of young ladies and gentlemen who are desirous of qualifying themselves for the business of teaching, and who would be glad of an, opportunity to enter a first-c=lass or well conducted Normal School, if Within their reach and means. I have taken this oppor tune moment of directing attention to the inportant measures of a Cen tral High( School and County Nor mal School, in view of the expressed wishes of the Trustees of the Beaver County Academy to place their in stitution on a more prosperous and and useful educational basis. If the gentlemanly and courteous manag ers of the Academy would take into consideration one or the other of the above projects, and prosecute it to a succcemful Issue, they would not on ly be conferring educational bless ings upon thousands. but would,, , al 7 so, be instrumental in supplying an educational want which is pressing and grievously felt. TIIE DIRE(7rOP.I 1 ma persuaded that any report made under our school system would Le incomplete, if it failed to repre sent the Directory. The entire con trol and the essential workings of the system is vested in these school offi cers. The duties of other officers of the system are, for the most hart, executive. Directors have the pow er, under the law, to purchase grounds for school purposes; the pow er to build school houses 7 the power to equip these houses with suitable furniture, blackboards, maps, charts, appafatus, etc.; the power to adopt a series of text-books; the power to employ teachers, and the power to dismiss them ; the power to levy tax es, and the power to collect them; in brief, they are the loctitguardians of education in the respective mmnien,i ities in which they move.

It , would ' give me great pleasure. if it, were considered politic, to mention those districts which have been favored with offi cers who have made it a matter of conscience in discharging their duty as directors and controllers of our public schools. In certain localities directors fail to- be ImpreSsed with the responsibilities of the office, and official duties, are negleeted. It is a significant fact, that in almost every. instance where this is the case,' the schools Of the district - are retrbgrad• log instead of progressing. Not withstanding all this, the great body of our .Directory are "men, ' .high minded men," who are fully alive to • the educational interests of the dimi ty. There are saute things , connect ed with the practical workings, of the Directory that might with propriety beemninented upon. It is to be leared that, in some instances, there .is not sufficient care taken in the selection of teachers. The better Judgment of directors is sometimesswayed from a high,. standard of official duty, by sympathetic appeals made to them. by applicants for positions, Or by the friends of these applicants; or some private, personal ends are to be se-, complished: Hence - inefficiency of tentimes triumphs 'over ability and experience. The schools *suffer; the children stiffer; the community suf. fers; the State suffers. A long train of evil conseqhences follows in the wake of mistakes by school officers In this respect. There is no duty, in the entire catalogue of duties, which demands more intelligence, firmness, rectitude, and keen sense of moral obligation; to both God and man,, than that which the educational guardians are culled upon to exercise when selecting mental guides for the of the land. Moreover the no hey of passing by superior. teachers for inferior ones is bad; it is alum theist suicide. Statistics show that over one-third of the teacherS of the county, absent themselves from the schools annually. They are net the indifferent ones, but oftentimes the very cream of the• profession. New and raw recruits rise up arid take their places. Experiments are to he made over „and over again. The schools of the county are made grand workshops for the training of appren ace teachers, expensive to tax-pay ers, and detrimental to the interests -of,scholars. Other localities are in tellectually enriched, whilst we are educationally impoverished, by this. thoughtless policy. The power of the Directory can be felt and, appre ciated by retaining', under al! 'reason able circumstances, the succsful teaching element of the county. , Why complain of Inferior sehooLs while we pursue a policy to make theta so? I.'he retention of Our suc cessful teachers would soon Weed out. the inefficient ; and all the schools '.if the county ' , mild be made to enjoy the. fruits of-in - WUgent instruction. On the other hand; if the educational resources of the county,be not hus banded, no great - fruits can be, or ought to be expected. It is simply on the principle of "reaping as we sow," or "gathering as we stutter." At an educationalneeting held last winter in Independence township, an old and highly esteemed qireetor rose in his place ,and rev ie‘‘led this • entire subject.- •i No one who was present will soon. forget the power, eloquence an& pathos in which he depicted the evils arising from a faithless discharge of school dupes on the part of the ,birectcry. His ex perience in school affairs for many -veurs hail nrcbitred him to express capable of eduenting ourselves; and for one, he wasTeady to all upon the Stale to do-that which the people had fA i ed to accomPlish. I mention this as one phase of eiNaitional sentiment. The views Rexpred, however, find DO response in the hearts of the great body of our pc4le. Still it is a little cloud that Irtends the wining storm, if the w orking of the Pr.o pt.E's SYsTESt - not faithfully, en e ergetioilly and' conscientiously ad ri ii nis tered. The . State con educate its future citizens; but , what a hu miliation it would bei•ito the free born sons and daughters of prowl America to have it do so:, The State must educate its citizens, if the pece plc fail, rather than have Ignorance and Vice stalk through tlidk, land; but when that hour arrives when the State must be acknowledged as the source of power in this rt.pect, or in any other re s pect, in place of the power resting in and with the pece ple, all hopes of the perpetuity of our free institutions must be abandoned forever. There may be, there , are defects in the practical 'workings of our school system ; nevertheleet, a higher civilization and a clearer con ception of education on the part of the people will in time remove them. The Pennsylvania school system, like the govern/went under which we live, is a system "for the people, and by the people ;" and in proportion to the light Which-the people have in this great cause, so will they act in refit tion to it. Those who are in the ad vance guard should not be discour aged ; the mighty host of self-educa tors are advancing ; the exertions put forth by the people to secure the precious boon of education for them , selves and their children, enrich, en noble and strengthen them. They may be slow, but they are surely working out a manhood, an indepen- I and a civilization which the pages of all past history fail to reveal, and which the State never could ac ' complish. An intelligent, energetic and conscientious ad 11l in istra t ion of the school law on the part of school i officers will most assuredly achieve results that will surpass thC brightest expectations of even the founders of the system. EDITATEONAL OF Agreeable to the suggestion of the State Superintendent, the Commis sioners have set apart a room in the Court-house for the benefit of the ed ucational interests of the county. We are already under obligations to pub lishers and manufactures of school furniture, for courtesiesextenthxl. It is the design of this office. not only to be'a dispensary of school documents, furnished by the school department, hut; also, a depository of text books, maps, charts, apparatus, school fur niture, 4:e., subject to the inspection of school officers and all friends of education throughout the county. The Superintendent, when not on actitive duty in the county, will al ways be found in the educational office. coRREcrIoN It is due the district of Ohio and Industry to correct the statement made in the Annual School Report of 1870, that they had failed to for ward to the Department their Dis trict Report and Certificate and in consequence lost their Stale appro priation. The trouble arose in the Itepartment itself, where these docu ments were mislaid. The districts promptly fultilled their obligations, and in due time received their ap propriations. roscLusios The length of this report admon ishes me to close. I have discussed grave educational questions and di rected attention to important School measures. The crowning glory of our School system is, that all pro gress must be ih harmony with the educational sentiment of the people.

From. St. Paul i.Mlnu.) Prmo, Rix weeks ago handsome and splen didly-dressed woman reached St. "Paul from St. Louis in pursuit of health, which for a year had been seriously impaired. After remain ing-a day or two at ileading hotel, she took up her abode at Mrs. •1t,06- 'risen's, on Eighth street, where she remained, mostly confined to her bed, until her death, which occurred on Wedni•sday night. This woman was about twenty-eight years of age, and the physician and clergyman who have Ineessantly exercised their skill in the atteulpt to save her life, or, failing in that, to prepare her for the life to come, all agree in stating that She was not only attractive in a ppearance,but possessed accom plish meats which indiade that she Was well bred and had received a high degree of culture. She passed under the name of Cora Warrington, and no one knew anything of her real name or her early history until shortly prior to her death. Even then, however, not much could be obtain ed as she hesitated about referring to her friends and relatives, although importuned to dd,so by her physic ians; and when: finally she did evince such a disposition it Was too late, for her strength was exhausted, and her voice reduced to an inaudi ble whisper. It seems that the maideb name of this melancholy wreck of a once beautiful girl was May Euston and that seine years age she was married in San Francisco, Cal., kr an Italian opera; singer named' Minna. This was a• rciarriage" of, love, as she stated in one, of her lucid moments that she could have married a wealthy man in California, but she preferred marrying for love rather than for money. After visiting the principal. cities in the United States, in com pany with her husband, she spent several years in the gay capitals of Europe. Signor Falini, however, fell upon evil days, and after reach- Mg, the highest piurfacleof populari ty and prosperity he rapidly des cended to poverty and death, leaving hisyeiing and beautiful wife to find her way back to her friends in the E - nitexi States as best she could. Years of such brilliant life as she led in company with Ada Isaacs Men ken and other celebrities of similar character, however, had its disas trous effects upon any morals which may have previously been hers, and instead of returning to her home and among toe larger cities, and from all indications was for a While the gayest of the gay.. Her wardrobe and Jewels were very valuable, ,and she was not withoutan abundance of money, a considerable surpluS of the latter remaining after her death. During the last year or more of her life she was the mistress of a man in Kansas or Missouri, who upon the failure of her health, sent her to St. Louis to receive the best medical aid of that city, which being unavailing, and the weather beCom ing unfavorable, she was sent to St. Paul to spend the summer in order to test the invigorating climate of Minnesota. Arriving here, although possessed of means, sheseems to have felt that.as a castaway she could only look t Pariahs for assistance and comfort in her hours of sickness and helph.%stiess. Shortly after reaching this city she took bp tier abode at the Eighth street establishment, where she was the recipient of all theatten lion and care that kindness could be stow, and tWo of the leading physic ians of the city were in daily attend ant,* upon her and exercised all their skill to preserve tier life. During all the weeks of her sickness she was in constant receipt of letters of love and affection front the unknown friend in. Kansas, and every letter contained a remittance. This same/riend has been correspondingyeleg,raph in reward to her health forthe last few days, but Cora WarringtWn, or May ; Easton Falini, insisted on replying that she was not seriously ill, and would soon be better. This friend expressed a desire to be sent for when all hopes of her recovery were past, and his last despatch announced that he would reach St. Paul to-day or to-morrow. She died, however, the night before last, and was buried yeSterday afternoon. Her money, diamonds and clothing . , valued at a thousand dollars or more, have been placed in charge of the physicians, who will pass them over to her rela tives, if they can be found. Singularly enough, this woman, who tier a year had een gradually declining, in spite df the highest pro , fes - ional efforts to restore her health, and who had the necessary means to enable her to try the Turkish baths and every other expensive but una vafliug to reach the end aim ed at, could not be convinced that she was rapidly approaching her grave. Though suffering considera lily , she was cheerful, and apparent ly uuvoncerned as to her future to the last. The day before she died she was told that she had but a very few hours to live, and almost her last words were, "Oh, nonsense! No such thing, Pll soon be, better!" On Wednesday, however, she for a mo- , men t. seemed to realize her sit ation, and for the first time consv ted to accept the ministrations • clergy man: When one w. - sent for, it proved to be too latt , ; for before his arrival she sank into unconsciousness from which she only rallied long enough to mutter "Good night!" and the fallen woman entered the , mysterious portal. 4 —An attendant at Mount Vernon, not long since, found a lady weeping most bitterly with her handkerchief at her eyes. lie stepped up to her and asked, "Are you in trouble, madam ?" "No, sir," she sobbed. "1 saw you weeping:" "Ah!" said she, how can one help weeping at the grave of the Father of his Country?" "Oh, is that it !" said he, "The tomb is over yonder, this is the Ice-house." —A '.negro. boy who went to church was WiAlofled to remember the text, which. was, "Why stand ye here idle? 'Oo into my vineyard, and , whatsoever is right I will pay thee." Tummy came home and was asked to repeat the text. He thought it over tor a while and cried out : "What d'ye stand ye here doing puf fin for? eto into my barnyard and work. , I'll make it all fight' with you."
