teachers sacrificed much tn attend, ami
while present, labored faithfully forthe

The subjects considered in tho Insti

traveled 17KH miles; wrote throe hun

ings anil held one County Institute for
five days, and attended the ennferenoe

biirg. During the past your, It has been my
effort to so systematise my work, that
all districts would receive equal advan
tages lit mi my labor, believing that if
any improvement would ttonetit ono
school, they should lie suggested to all.
I he sumo method wus adhered to in
conducting each examination, and tho
method explained to tho teachers and
directors. Distributed equally, public
documents to each board of directors;
kept tbe sumo two office days each
month, ami suggested, as nearly
practicable, the same methods for im
provement to each school. Knur copies
of the school law were distributed to
each board.
hi:oiikstioN.
Vrsf. The opinion that prevails with
some school directors, that they are
elected to discharge their Inborn accord
ing to their own judgment, independent
ol a regulated school law and school sys
tem, is certainly doing much injury.
Year after year, a great number of tho
schools ro rvjiortcd without .proper
outhouses. ;o apparatus worm men
tioninir : irnmnds not suittthlvinmmved:
house not properly ventilated ; poor
stove and poor blackboards; schools
not visited by directors, and schools
not properly graded, and many other
glaring detects, which keep the school
work from advancing a rapidly a it
should, and vet theso are all lubjecta
to bo consitlercd by every director
elected, and duties incurred upon him,
as an officer, to attend to. Tax-payers
do not desire that the schools of the
succeeding generation may be first-
class), but that we may uavo good
schools for the iinprovment of tho pres
ent advancing pupils. Home directors
oven desire to dictate the number of
months to he taught, and how the term
should lie divided, claiming that they
nro willing to lose the State appropri
ation, liocause it is line than the cost
of keeping tho schools open one month.
Also, in scarcity of teachers who
have been examined, they will employ
persona who have not been examined,
to await the coming ot the superintend
cut, that he may examine them during
his visits. Those are privileges not
yet granted to directors by law, and
hence, are departures from correct
system which alone can mako our
work successful, t iiisens do not com
plain of high taxes with good schools,
but high taxes with poor schools; and
they elect directors, entrusting to their
care the duty assigned by the law of
tho laud, of giving them a sumcient
numlier of good schools for tho ad
vancement ot'thcir children. All other
interests are demanding means for their
support, and to any extent that tbe
school work is neglected, other im
provement encroach upon tt and get
tho moans that otherwise won Id be
employed for its advancement. Many
director labor faithfully and discharge
their dntios with much credit to them
selves, but some strive earnestly to get
the oltlco, and then complain that it
does not pay sufficiently to enable them
to put in much time. Kiiongh efficient
men can bo found in any district, who
feel interested enough in th school
work to discharge, this duty without a
salary,
Scomt. In referring fo the Decisions
of tho School Law, we find that "over
fifty pupils cannot le taught success
fully in ono school ;" also, "that un
graded common school aro Imperfect
common schools, and should only be
tolerated whilo the circumstance of
tbe dial net render grading impossible.
Also, "that graded school decrease
the expenses of the district in propor
tion to tho amount of instruction im
parted." There aro now localities
where sixtv or novutrtv Diinils are at
tending ono school, and very littlo ad
vantage is derived in comparison with
tlio great benctit tlmt would result
from a system of grading schools. Of
such wo find the borough of New
Washington, Lumber City and Hotitx-
tlalc. The villages of Hurnside,ln Burn
sitle township; (ilen Hope, in BofCBria;
Jayncsville, in (iulich; Bigler, in Brad
ford ; and in tac t, every locality where
sixty or nxsro pupils could bo collected
t one whool, sbniibl have a graded
school, : t
' TAifif. Proper system and proper
controlling powers aro more needed In
tho country, in the common school
work.thananyotlicrmcnsnns. Boards
of directors are too willing to be satis
fied with teacher wno are mwmi-iT tn
a vicinity as good workers and are
too apt to condemn others, who by of.
tut, 1 1 i ! ! a rti n 4 kml m J mmuSh
bocomo utiHi)ulnr, , The school board
is tho teachers support, and they re
the persons who have entire control
of, the school, and it is on them the
miecwsrirtho sctxrot depend. 1 If they
aro careful in elootlntT ifood teachers.
and then are able to inform the teach-
done, the schools will progress,
The cltlr.cn elect the directors, and
tho directors . employ tho teachers;
; hence, tbo tencurs are working for
the director aro but to carry out the!
Iiieiiauivs adopt ed by the school hoard.
During my visit U) schools, J havo!
loiinil tcacliem who were vigorously
carrying nut a thoniiigh course of truiii
ing, w ho were condemned by citir.cn
who had never visited the schools, antl
also faulted by directors when ol her
teacher in tho sumo district were
commended for advancing the pupil
rapidly, without heingthoroin;h. Thus
system wns not adhered to, and merit
was not upheld.
Were each sccrclury employed by
his reiective board as a District Su
perintendent, with a stipulated salary,
untl required to visit all tho schools
once a month, mid rcsirt tn tho board
their condition, it would improve this
work. He could receive a list of suir-
gestion for the Improvement of the
scIumiIs from tho County Siiieriuteud-
euis at the beginning ol the term ; also,
thedctW-t pointed nut during the visits
could bo presented to the school liourd
by him. The many suggestions given
in the 'oo Journal, which is received
by tbo Secretary, and tbo many sug
gestions given by tbo Superintendent,
are lost by there being no lverson In the
district to enforce them. There is a
way of coin'lliiig iiicii, in all other
positions, to do work as the employers
wish It done, and why not with kcIkkiI
work? Wore director to sec tho
many pupil that are placed at the be
ginning of the books each term, tor
four or five tortus, from tho opinion of
each teacher, claiming that his prede
cessor was not thorough in his train
ing; were they to see many pupils
leaving school each year at the ugo ot
eighteen or twenty years, who could
not pas an examination in one-third
of tho comniou schtsil studies, and also
find many in each (list net who do not
get inside of a school room (Inring the
entire term, they would certainly see
the necessity ol a closer supervision.
Fourth. In districts where parents
do not visit tho schools, a great advan
tage i derived by sending a small
certificate to the parents, once a month,
setting forth the number of days the
pupil has attended, ami the progress
made. Many parents thoughtlessly
keep their children at homo much
more than they desire, anil refuse to
furnish them with proper upplianccs
from day to day, until several weeks,
andoften months intervene, before they
are really equipped for school. A no
tice from the teacher, given in tho right
manner, otlen causes parent to re
double their diligence, from seeing the
many absent days during tho month
and the neocasary wants of their chil
dren. Fifth. Thogluriiig mistakes in many
report book should receive more at
tention from tho secretaries of tho
school boards. According to the direc
tions given, very few could l justly
approved. A great many refer from
month tn month by the mark, "samo
aa previous month," making a term and
not a monthly report Many teachers
neglect to mako "tardy marks," on the
ground that, "it gives tho book a bad
appearance," ami they thus destroy the
object of the liook ls?ing kept. The
reiHirt Ixsik is an nWcr to the teacher's
work.
Sixth. The school room should be
kept in a healthy condition, and made
attractive and plcaaunt for the pupils.
It cannot bo kept healthy unlet it is
scrubbed out at least onco each month,
ami then suitable arranirenienui mado
for ventilation. Pupils had Is'ttcr re
ceive no education than receive it at
tbo cost of their health. Tho walls
should lie decorated with suitable pic
tures, mottoes, o. Tho house Bhould
contain good desks, inxsl stovo, a suf
ficient amount of apparatus, and a good
blackboard. A cheerful teacher can
then make it the most attractive' and
pleasant place in tho neighliorhood,
and citiaen, directors and children,
would not think it a punishment to be
present.
In conclusion, 1 desire to thank tho
editors of the several journals in the
county, for the assistance they have
given our work by printing many no
tices and rcixirU. I also thank the
many kind citiaens and director that
1 havo met in my visits during tlio
year.
