ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTEN
DENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.
The annual rcnort of D. T. WatW.
Superinteiulent of Public Instruction,
has been published. Philadelphia
school property is given a value of
$0,37 1,500. mere are fifty-eight
cities and boroughs in the State hav
ing superintendents. The past year
?35i300. wre distributed to grad
uates in state formal Schools
and $48,876 to under graduates. The
amount of special and direct State ap
propriations each State Normal School
has received since its organization is
$1,619,500. Superintendent Waller
has the following to say in his report
to the Legislature :
"Reference to the statistical tables
for the year past shows that the num
ber of pupils in publia schools was
97".5j8 a increase of 8,022; the
number of schools was 23,436, an in
crease of 522 ; the number of teachers
was 25,329, an increase of 414. The
total expenditure, including that up
on buildings, was $14,329,140,46, an
increase of $810,431,48. The esti
mated value of school property was
$40,242,664, an increase of $4,765,
720. The State amironri.itiim tor
the year was not $5,000,000, but $2,
000,000. The great appropriation of
J5, 000,000 tirst became available on
the first Monday of June of the cur
rent year. The direct effect of that
munificent sum will, therefore, ap
pear for the first time in the statistics
to be given in the annual report of
1S93. Some of the indirect effects
have, however, already manifested
themselves.
A SPIRIT OF PROURKSS.
"The monthly as well as the annual
reports ot the county, city anil bor
ough superintendents hae shown un
wonted activity and progress. The
knowledge that the people of the
State have given such substantial evi
dence of their appreciation of the
public schools as is afforded in the
great appropriation has been a stimu
lus to school boards. Many have
made much needed improvement at
the cost of the districts, believing that
while they were discharging their duty
to the children they were also carrying
out the will of the people.
"Perhaps no previous year can pre
sent such a record of districts having
introduced free text books, lengthen
ed the term, raised the salaries and
erected school buildings in all respects
vorthy of the cause. Never betore
lias attention been as widely given to
adequate means for ventilation. Un
abridged dictionaries, good black
boards and other helpful apparatus in
dicate, by their extensive introduc
tion, the same spirit of improvement.
The number of txl ools in which all
the text books were supplied free of
cost to the pupiis is 2,401. Many
boards have adopted the policy of
supplying part of the books annually
with a view to a general introduction,
at the public expense, of ail the book's
needed in the schools of their respec
tive districts. The tact that c.iy
district, however remote fro;;i the
capital, shares in the fund distiiV-uted,
taken in connection with the fact that
twice the amount could have been
paid without draining the Treasury,
guarantees the continuance of the
same anil suggests the possibility of
an increase.
A SINGLE TERM FAVORED.
"Now that the sum paid by the
State to each district is at the rate of
$3.45 per taxable, the excuse for sum
mer schools in taken away, and to
prevent the waste of public funds and
of the precious school years of the
children, the wretched pretense should
be abandoned. The time has come
when the grant of the appropriation
to any school distiict should be made
dependent upon the holding of a sin
gle term. The minimum school terms
should be longer.
"Districts were required in years
past to lengthen their term from four
months to five and from five to six
without any considerable aid. Now
that they can lengthen without ad
ditional cost to themselves, all recei
ving State aid should be required to
have an undivided term of at least
eight months. The experience of
another year has emphasized the need
of closer supervision. The more
money spent the more money requires
closer supervision, and the greater the
number of schools the greater the
need of supervision. This number
has grown from 10,000 in 1854 to 23,
000 in 1S92.
DIRECTORS SHOULD NOT HE PAID.
"It has been a most creditable
characteristic of the School Dir;ctoi
that he has served without pecuniary
aid. To attach a salary to the office
implies not only an immense' expen
diture ot public money, but also a.
change in the character ol the men
chosen as would portend great harm
to the schools. The ordinary service
of the Directors, requites no actual
expenditure of money on their part,
but there is an exception to this rule
when they are in attendance up
on the triennial convention for the
election of Superintendents. Upon
thisj occasion Directors shotiH no
more be exposed to temptations by
the accepted hospitality of candidates
than a judge of viewers of the pro
perty of those interested in the road
to be considered."
Superintendent Waller reviews his
suggestions of last year in favor of j
compulsory education and says the
interests of the State require that the
provisions of the law making the is
suing of the warrants for the appropri
ation dependent upon the filing of the
annual di-trict report shall be extend
ed to Philadelphia. The Superinten
dent claims that the assessments of
property somewhere approaching its
real value has greatly aided in the
improvement of the schools in some
counties and that manual training has
taken a firm hold on the people. The
State Normal Schools in which 8,000
of the youth of the State are instruct
ed are warmly indorsed by Superinten
dent Waller.
SOME SUGGESTIONS.
His report closes with the following
suggestions :
"The legislation most needed is for
a single annual term, for the increase
of the minimum term, for the close of
supervisions for the limitation of the
provisional certificate, for a recogni
tion of a college dip'oma under pro
per restrictions, for meeting the actual
expenses of Directors at the triennial
convention, and for one day at the
county institute, and for the filing of
such a statistical report by the city of
Philadelphia as is required of other
districts. Efficiency and economy, it
is believed, will be promoted by these
changes."
Keep it in the house. Good advice
from the Captain. Captain S. C.
Walker, Company C. 1st Regiment,
Indiana Veteran Legions Lafayette,
Ind., writes this : "I have used Dr.
15ulPs Cough Syrup in my family for
last two years, ami advise all having
children never to be without it.
"Eut, my dear, what has the old
man to recommend himself aside
from his riches?" "Heart disease."
