Co. Supt. lloHord's Annual Report
By the politeness of our clUclent Co.
Superintendent, R. F. Hofford, we nre
enabled this week to present toj our
readeis the following Report of the
condition of the Cnrbou County Schools
for the present year :
Prominent among the evidences of
ducntloiial progiess In our county, may
be noticed the liniilovemeut in tho new
school houses ever thosu built eight or
tell years ngo. Since my last annual
lepori, lour new houses have been built
two in Lower Towninenslng, ono In
rownmensing, nud one atSumuilt Hill,
n Mauch Chunk township, llm latter
lecivc moie than a passing notice : it
s n handsome, tlnee sto'y frame struc
ture. 48x110 leet, and cost about $12,000;
it contains six school-looms, with the
necessary halls nnd clothes-rooms: four
of the school-looms aie each 24x48 ft.,
and 13 feet in tho clear frum lloor to
ceiriiig; the rooms on the third tloor nre
each 21x42 feet, nud 12 feet from lloor
to ceiling. Tim subject uf llyht, bent,
ventilation ami painting weie all con
sidered uitli releiencu to the health anil
comfoitof thu pupils. Tint looms aie
all furnished with the latest Improved
seats nud desks, ample black-board sur
face, and all needful nppnrntus globes,
outline maps, charts, dlctlonatles.schuol
mottoes, &u., to aid teachers in their
work. The building Is suimouuted by
n tower, 20 feet high, containing a bull
and a fine town clock, which add? much
to the appearance of the building as well
ns lo the convenience of tho people. It
Is an honor to tho district to possess so
line a school house, and rellects great
credit on the Board of Diiectors, who
deserve the warmest thnnkb ot the peo
ple tor it.
There nre still a numoer ot scuooi
houses in the county Hint are uulit lor
use two in Lower Townmeiisliig, three
in Penn Forest, three in East Penn, and
one In Lehigh township. By a little
display of energy on the part or the
Directum in these districts these un
sightly, bndly ventilated, nml unheallh
thy substitutes for school houses might
bu leplnced by good, subslnutiul attrac
tive and healthy ones, worthy ol the
name, which would bo an honor lo the
Diiectors nnd e. blessing to the children
of the respective distiiuts. Sume of tho
old boii'us have Uten repaired, wune
many others need It sadly. School
houses, It kept in good lepnir nnd well
pnlutcd, would be liiucll mole attinc
tive to children nnd last much longei.
But little has been (lone dining the
past year towards improving school
grounds. With very few exceptions
they lemaln all utitenced nnd ungiiul
ed. nnd some aie teally In an unsightly
bad condition. All ll.o eciioois uio nuw
provided with outhouses, but some nie
put up In such u rough way, inai uiey
hmillv deserve the nan.o of outhouse
In some Instances where good outhouses
aie provided, they nre so ubused by lui
immer use that they bccoui! nuisances
Directors should sb that ill the school
houses, with their rounds aim surrounu
Iikts. nre nut ill proper order dm lug
vacation, and then hold their teachers
PBimnsihlo for tho time they have them
in charge fornll unreasonable wear and
abuse, and If Inconvenient for Directors
to take eharira of them themselves du
ring vacation, on account of distance
from the houes or for other causes,
they should appoint or authorize soinu
nerson llvlnir near by to take them In
charge. Much damngo has been done
to school nronertv during thu time tho
schools are closed, so that it btscomes
necessary for Directors to tike stringent
lllPflhll re tn nrevent tills species of
vandalism.

was required to make monthly visits

schools, when necessary, make such
Kiiirucstlnns to teachers bS lie thought
limner, in regard to their methods of
teachine; nnd school covernmeut, and
report the results of such vltlts to tho
Board of Directors at eacli monthly
meeting j also to hold seinl-monthly
district institutes, and report the result
of each Institute to the Board of Dlrec
tors. By such a course of close super
vision, the schools wer greatly benefit
ted, and teachers encouraged In a sys
tematic course ol Improvement, in
methods of Instruction, as well as in
tho different branches, required to be
taught in the schools. Teachers wore
paid the same for attending Institute ns
for teaching. A central high sohool
was also established In this district,
which places within reach of all the
children In tho district, who wish to
avail themselves of it, the means ot a
llbeial education. The Board of this
district Is composed of Intelligent, live
active men, who are determined to do
their whole duty and to make their
schools equal to tho best In the Stale.
It Is sincerely recommended to other
districts, favorably situated, lo try tho
expeiline-nt; or .rather rotiow thu ex
niuplu.of Mnncli Chunk Township. It
will pay. The Investment will prove
good nnd nmply pay for nil thu costs
nii'l trouble.
Tho schools In Bunks District mnde
vety comnienilnblo progress under n
irogresslve class or lencuers, susinincii
nil encouraged by a Hoard of Directors
I in nre win king falthtiilly to pinmoio
in best interests or their spiioois, oy
paying liberal salaries to te.tchers, eul-
loying and retaining muse oiny wuu
rove themselves woithy.
Oun great ohstnclo In the way of edu-
mini progress, Is the employment of
nchers who tnko no live Interest In
le woik. This evil Is grndunlly pass
ing away. Directors see the Importance
ml advantages of irnined pioiessiouni
ncliers over those iinlrulned, while
teachers themselves nro beginning to
realize the fact that If they wish to
maintain their places In the teachers'
rnnks they must come up to the stand-
mil required ; lu consequence of this n
Inige number of those who were teach
ing dutlng thu winter, left, nt the close
of tho school terms, for the Normal
schools, lo spend the summer lu secur
ing fur themselves higher proies-sioiuu
aining, which will ue appreciated uy
le Directors when they como lo make
u lr selection of teachers for the next
secliool tr rm, so that tho saciillce made
by these young teachers in leaving thtir
homes and spending their iiiuuey may,
lu duo season, bring Its rewnuls, not
only lu the way of enlarged biilniles,
but by Initio Improvements in their
chouls also.
The County Institute was held nt
Lehighton, In the latter part of Novem
ber. Thu attendance of teiicheis was
hi gi'r than at any foimer Institute held
u the county. During the day nml
veiling sessions the room Hi which lliu
nstltiue wns held wns well lllled with
citizens of Lehighton nml vicinity, who
manifested their Interest in the woik
by their presence, idany of the teach-
is camu well prepared and toon an ac
tive part 111 tho work, which added
much to the success and interest of the
Institute.
VUlts by patrons of the schools nrn
more frequent than formerly, but still
thero seems to he n great apathy on the
art of many parents to lsit schools
where their childien nio required to
pend a Inrge portion of their time he
ween the nges of six and sixteen years,
these are tho persons who most Ire-
quently find fault with thu schools. If
they would devote a few moments oc
casionally to visiting schools, m Hint,
they would undeibtand belter the milli
ner in which the schools ore conducted
ml sea how teachers labor lor the
good of their pupils, they would feel
less disposed to find fault and mini) like
co-operating with teachers for the gooi
of their schools.
Conclusion. With a continuance

All of the nbovo. will not, of course,
bo acted upon until October term, and
as yet nenrly two monllis win inter
veno between tins nnu tuni, wo nrny
confidentially expect a considerable in
lii the number of criminal ac
tions to bo brought. Besides, since it
u-nulil'nt do for Carbon to bo In
nnywlse behind adjoining Counties, wo
have the sweet consolation that quite a
number of criminal nctlons, founded on
'True Bills" yet cumber tho Docket.
Theso (some 30 in number) will prob
ably all be disposed of during the ad
journed dune Session beginning Mon
day the 28th Inst., and as they embrace
a great variety, persons contemplating
to iiltend the adjourned sessions, may
rest assured of a first class entertain
ment. Besides wo shall then learn the
decision of the Court In the Campbell
murder case.
