TKNIIKNT. Examinations. Twenty-two public
and eight private examinations woro
held. Ono hundred and filly-one pro
visional uurtificutes issued, one profes
sional, (to 1 homas il. JUurruy, l'isq.,)
six endorsed from other comities, and
eight applicants rejected. Much in
terest was evinced by teauhers, direct
ors and spectators during the entire
examinations. Tho directors, or a
purt of .them, were present ut all the
exuiuiuulionn, w hich wus gratifying as
well as beneficial ; as the board could
readily select tbo teachers best suited
for their respective schools. One hun
dred and seventy-eight visits to
schools an average of three hours
each ; 2D ofiicial letters written j
1,71H miles traveled on olHcial duty;
taught a five-months' Normal School,
an average of eight hours per day ;
and was engaged otlicially during the
year, 2JI5 days. I leave it with the
people to judge whether I huve por
ioi ined my duty or not.
Visitations. All the schools that
were in operation whilo I was in tho
districts were visited, and a few a
second time. Ono .hundred and four
visits made in the presence ot direct
ors. In three instances they became
so interested, that they accompanied
me to tho adjoining districts. I wus
also accompanied by many of the citi
zens. Visits by tho County Superin
tendent are no longer droaded by tho
pupils. On many occasions we have
been told by the parents, that their
children were desirous of being pres

Having been treated with great
kindness and generosity nil over tbo
county, by directors, citizens and
teachers, I doeni this a fit time and
opportunity to return my sincere
thanks lor tho many lavors received
at their hands.
Institute. A County Institute was
held at Curwensviilo during tho last
week of September. The exercises
consisted of class-drills, essays, discus
sions and lectures. Tho institute was
the lurgest ever held in tho county,
and I think much good wus accom
plished. formal School. The Normal School
in Curwensviilo, mentioned in my last
report, continued until the 1st of Oc
tober. 1 again opened ono, in Clear
field borough, on .May llth.to continue
for eleven weeks. Although met with
considerable opposition, by clique,
and hence was conipolled to labor
under many disadvantages, the school
nevertheless proved a perfect success.
Filly-three students were present,
forty-six of whom pnrposo teaching
the coming winter. I was again as
sisted by Prof. I S. (ieist, of Marietta,
who was earnest in tho discharge of
his duties, and thereby not only gained
tho good will of the teachers, but made
many friends throughout the county.
EDUCATIONAL WORK DONE BY OTHER
AOENCIES.
In addition to tho Clearfield Acade
my which is in a flourishing condi
tion, tinder the direction of Prof. P. L.
Harrison there is now established in
Clearfield borough, a first-class Ladies'
School, under tho control of Miss
Hatlio Swan, who lias very few supe
riors in tho profession. Many Select
Schools are also springing up all over
tho county. All these educational
means will, sooner or later, assist in
the preparation of teachers. ISy such
aids much good will, I hope, be accom
plished. Pulpit. The clergymen have said
and done more in favor of the common
schools thun formerly ; yet not so
much as they should have done. No
class of men should be more interested
in the spread ol intelligence among
the masses ; for the labors ol clergy
gymcn are appreciated and rewarded
proportionate to the amount ot intelli
gence in their community; hence, if
thoy are alive to their own interests,
they will, at least, give two educa
tional lectures from their respective
pulpits each year, and thereby exert
an influence in behalf of intelligence
and assist in dispelling ignoranco.
Press. Tho general -tone of the
press is friendly to tho cause of edu
cation, and it has given me a general
and hearty support in my cflorts in
behalf of the schools; for which the
editors have my sincere thanks.
OBSTACLES IN THE WAT OF IMPROVE
MENT. We have but little now Ij suggest
from our former report. Some of the
obstacles then mentioned havo boon
to a certain degrco removed. Tho
interest manifested by directors, pa
trons, and teacher, Iihs been greatly
increased, and is productive of much
good. The createst obstacle is the
want of sufficient money to carry on
the schools. In o number of districts j
tho thirteen mills allowed by law to be I
raised is baiely suflicient to keep tho(
schools open four months; and in i
some, even to do this, directors must!
pay low salaries, and honce secure

teaching.
MtASURES CALCULATED TO PROMOTE
IMPKOVrMEKT.
1st. Theschool term should, by law.
be six months, instead of four. 2d.
The State appropriation should bo
inoreosed to eight hundred thousand
dollars, and ba divided in proportion!
to tho number of children in theSue,
between the ages of six and twenty
ono. .'id. " Reduce tho number of di
rectors to threo, muko them sworn
jOlTicers, coinpensato them for their
servicos" ftnd hold them responsible
lor all losses sustained by tho district
through their neglect.
Conclusion. I believe thut the peo
ple, of the count' will bear mo out in
milking tho assertion, that more work
has boen pel formed and greater pro
gress made during the past two years
thun in any term since the establish
ment of the County Superintondency.
The ivork, however, is not all dono,
much remains yet to do. I would
then sny to tho friends of education
who fed the santo interest as myself,
let us gird on tho armor anow und
unite in furthering this noblo cause ;
for by the education of our children,
moro thun by any other ugoney, our
future destiny as a nation is to be
determined ; and ns tins interest is
sustained or neglected, So will our
nation rise in grandeur and power, or
sink. U0. W. SNYDJilt,

la tho Democratic convention at
Chicago, in lMif, a resolution was
adopted to the purport thatfour rears 1
of war had failed to restore the L nion,
which the lladicals now quoto and
make fun of. Nevertheless, it isa fuc
that not only four yours of war failed
to restore tho Vuion, but three addi
tional years of peace under Uadical
rule have also failed to restore the Un
ion, for at this day the Union is still
virtually dissolved. But the othor

the farce of admitting fivo of tho

The belief is becoming universal that
most of tho men are kept fur political,
and not for practical, purposes. 1$ it
not pluin that the war has fastened
upon tho country a vast horde of em
ployees and contractor in every de
partment, who are supportod from the
public treasury, und at J.ho expense of
the tax-paying community, thousands
of whom are of no practical benefit to
tbo Government? There is a large
forco of rcvonno cutters on the lakes
and at sea, the gross benefits of which
would not pay for tho fuel that one
of them uses. The Treasury Depart

Our system of taxation, conducted
as it is by men whom the Secretary
