. overish'd. 1 beheld these widows in
t heir struggle for bread. I could see them
chilled and shivering and crouching in
j scant cdolhing over wretched embers
which imparted no warmth, but which
j were all that they could procure. And I
beheld those orphan children, squalid und
i wretched, nncared for, and uneiJucaled,
! going down into the haunts of vice, swept
5 into the voitex of crime, for the want of
I the father's guiding and reslraining hand.
And 1 cried out, in the bitterness of my
heart : " How long, oh Lord, how long ?
And what shall we obtain which will re
j,ay us fot all these hoi rible sacrifices ? "
And the voice answered : " Ixmlc in'iho

see what thou beholdosl,"
And I looked, and beheld a vast giove
of trees, which were. leatle and dead :
und on the branches of the trees were
huddled myriads of unclean b:rds hosily
flipping their wings, and wiping what
si emeil to be blood from their beaks. And

.Not having received my appoint ment
ii3 County Superintendent until a short
time before thu expiration of the last
school year, il will bo impossible, for me
to make a full report of the condition of
the common schools ol this county.
The ollicial lubors and observations ol
tny predecessor ure not of record. No
statistical notes seem to have been taken
of last years' educational operations, from
which 1 might make a rept rt for the pot
lion of the last .school year when he was
the acting ofticer.
At the lime of tlio receipt of my com
mission, April Oth 1-b,'!, many of tin
schools ol the county had alteudy closeu,
while others wete about closing; conse
quently, but few of my own ollicial acts
can be embodied in this report

For ihe reason already slated, I am una

j hiils without a tree to shade them ; others
are located m tho woods, where nature
disdains the work o! art, some are not
sufficiently ventilated, and others have
too much air. In our recently constructed
school houses, which have beer, built
generally according lo plana in the School
Architecture, a decided improvement has
been nude in the size, locution, and in
ternal Arrangement. They are an orna
ment to their respective localities, and
itflect great credit on '.he directors. The
furniture of the new bouses is well adapted

schools in llie cnunty uie Cleuilicld and
Curwensulle boroughs. In the rural d,6
tricls the sc'joois are ungraded and im
perfectly classified, the latter is owing to
a troublesome variety nf school books.
A want of uniformity in text-books is
seriously felt in our county, and is u se
rious obstacle to the prosperity iind pro
gress ot our schools. It prevents a proper
classification of the school, distracts the
eliorts of the teae':er, and ret lids the
pi ogress of the scholar. While many ot
our districts have complied with the re
quisition of the law in adopting a uniform
series of books, yi t il is by no means a
generul, a il should or even might bo.
Examinations. 1 have not the means
of ascertaining the number of certificates
is'iied by my predecessor during the last
year. Since my appointment 7 teachers
have beer, examined privately, at the re-
quest of the board

sertiheatei tor one ye. it were grantod. i

all teachers will be ex peeled to be pun

method of examining teachers is chiefly

''The Ignorant and Benighted "
At the recent meeting of the Union
j League in this city, Mr. Wayne MeYeiigh
I made un appeal to his 'po-i-aity" friends,
in the course of which he thus compli
mented the rural districts:
" Our ciiciniw are native in tho country. They

It is obvious lhat the worthy chair

been without their value to him. Accus

of intclligeuc and honesty, and so on,
nothing could be more natural to him
liiiin to hint to the Leaguers lhat this
