Antiunl Itcportof Public Schools of
Ciirboit Coiintrt tor year ending
Juno 1, 16S0.
Tha schools of the county may bo Justly
divided Into two classes. The first class will
mbjace all tho schools In towns and thick-
settled districts where they arc, or should
bo graded, and the' second class all those in
sparsely settled districts where they cannot
be graded.
In tho schools of the firstclassthe average
per ccntago of attendance and tho progress
made by tho pupils wero very commend
able; much mora so than in thoso ol the
second class. Several reasons may bo as-
Igned for this, chief among which aro long
school terms, liberal salaries paid to teach
ers, good houses and furniture, and conse
quently a higher grado of teachers; these,
geliier with the advantages of graded
schools, havo produccii the above desirable
results. In many Schools of tlio second class
llitt attendanco wa5 very Irregular, and con
sequently tho progress mado was not so sat-
factory. Many of these schools wero in
tiehsndsofyoungand Inexperienced teach
ers, Such as tho low salaries paid and the
rt terms would enable directors to secure.
Many of them labored faithfully, nnd will
make successful teachers if thev receive suf-1
ficient encouragement to retain them in the
profession. I would here urge upon direc
tors in theso dislricts to pay sucii salaries ns
enable them to retain thoso teachers who
prove themselves to bo successful and
orthy. In theso miscellaneous or un
graded schools (some of which nro not even
well classified) It requires more skill to gov
ern, and tho work requires a wider range of
thought and consequently makes it moro
laborious for tlie teachers in these than in
the graded schools, while tho salaries, with
but very few exceptions, are much lower.
In nearly all tlie districts of tlio first class,
semi-niontlllv institutes or teachers' meet-
ugs were held; in which educational sub-
cls wero discusied ns well as methods
finstiuction and school discipline. Theso
iKectiiigs, wherever they aro properly con
ducted, prove highly beneficial to tcacheis
nd gorl results aro seen in tlio schools. Of
the second class, Kidder is tho only district
u which district institutes wero regularly
lield. This ludiejtes a live board ofdiicc-
tors as well us teachers tho result of which
is good schools: Ih solne districts literary
societies wero orgaviiod by tlie teachers, for
tho mutual improvement nf teachers, pupils
and others, who wished td participate in the
work, winch consisted in. reading ejsays, so-
Itct readings, an l.discussioi: of general top
es. In s.nno of lliew nieeli'igt much inter
est is manifested and gt eat good occomplish
od. Those meetings should lie ctlco jraged.
Tho County Institute wus held at Mauch
Chunk in tho latter part ot Nuvembeh It
wus well attended by leuchcis and others,
wlm seemed to be interested ill educational
work. Teachers were wakened tipundencour
aged, so that many of them went back to
their school work with now determinations
to do belter ii possible than they hud ever
done before.
House (inly one new house was built
luricg tho past year, Hint is in Fianklin
ilistrict. It is a good substantial frame
building, supplied witli good furniture an
amjilo blackboard surface. Franklin needs
another new house nt Wiilcksvillo.
The following districts need now houses:
Mahoning, one; East Ponti, two; Packer,
two; Peim Forest, two; Bunks, one: and
Lower Towaiijensiug two. Tlio last two
mentioned shuiiid bo large enough and ar
ranged to accomiiioilalo two schools each.
But litllo improvements were made on
school grounds since my last icport. This
is a matter that should receive the attention
of directors. With u very small expendi
ture many of tho school grounds could bo
greilly improved and made attractive
to children. When new houses aro to be
built, suitable sites shruld be selected) the
oonveijleqce suitcouifuiteof th': children
iho-a'd always be tlio thief ConEiderati5lf
aud not, ns is too often tlio case, the place
selected th it can be ha 1 for tho least amount
of money. A very lurgo portion of our
school grounds aro too small. A school lot
should not contain less than half an aero of
ground; and in tha country, whoro ground
is cheap, a whole aero would be still better.
When u farmer wishes to build n house
ho looks around over his farm to find the
most eligible sito to build upon. Health,
beauty of sconory, and convenience are all
consi le.-ed. When satisfied ns to the adap
tabilily of tho placo, ho consults liis family;
and finally, after all are -satisfied, he calls
upon liis neighbors, so that the judgment
and oxpejicnco of all may ba brought into
requisition betoro tho work is commenced;
lost after all, Hie bost site might not be ob
tained. Tills shows the good sense in the
farmers, and we give them credit for it.
Would it not bo well for school 'directors to
follow their example and exerciso some
judgment and. discretion in tho selection-of
school grounds and in the erection of houses
where so largo a portion of the youthful days
of our children is spent. Why not give
them comfortable and pleasant houses, with
attractive surroundings, such as will crealo
in them a tu,sto for tb beautiful and make
them cheerful and happy. .
Thcro was a surplus of teachers erarciCeiV,
but tho best ones wero not in every case se
lected. The selection and employment of
teachers aro very important duties devolv
ing upon directors, and should be discharg
ed without fear or favor, and feasoilabie
compensation should bo offered us an in
ducernent to teachers. In some districts the
salaries aro entirely too low. I arrl glad
that this is not the case with all. Many of
our directors are among the most intelligent
and liberal minded men In tho country ,aud
are disposed to deal fairly with teachers.
But very few of the schools are visited

should not be so. Occasional visits from di
rectors' and parents would, ejiopbrsjje chll-1
dren in their school work and make teachers
more watchful and earnest in tbe dlfcharge j
of their duties. In order to obtain the best
possible results in cur public schools wo
must have the cooperation of school officers,
teachers, and parents.
Excellent work was done by some of our
live teachers during tbe summer vacation,
by teaching normal classes in different sec
tions of tho county, thus giving an opportu
nity to young teachers and otbert who are
desirous of prosecuting their stud's. These
prove to bo clTeetivo auxiliaries to our edu

schools of some districts, but as this seems to

Tho boa.1 Trade.
Tlio favorable retiorts s to the present
situation and prospects of the anthracite
coal tiade continue, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The outlook is all the time steadily
better. There are, week by week , more
orders for cdel, and the demand already is
so far ahead of the supply that several of
the largo companies aud operators havo
altcd lu tho icoeipt of orders lor some sizes
of prepared coal. ' In our lost week's notice
f tlio coal trade we alluded to the fact then
under discussion, of advancing the price of
tlie smaller sizes of coal 25 cents per ton
during all the month of September. It is
now pretty generally conceded that such an
dvance In prices will take place, and it is
supirascd when and how much Will bo an
nounced during the currant week. To-day
the companies find themselves with orders
on their books for all the coal that they can
mi no during the month. Thcie is no
possibility for their selling more broken, egg
or furnace coal than tbey can produce, and
tho stock of chestnut and stove is fust
diminishing. It is fair to except tin ad
vance of 2i cents a ton on stove nnd chest
nut next month, but it will not bo wise to
check the demand by putting up prices on
other sizes. It has now been settled that
the companies have the market fully under
tbeir control, and they hevo pretty well
satisfied largo consumers that ther do not
propose fighting each other at their own
expense. Anything beyond an advance of
25 cents a ton on small sizes would deter
purchasers and prevent tho shipment of
the cool that ought to bo sent forward in
September and October. An advance of
of that sum would not prevent a very active
fall market, and would still give tho com
panies all they want to do at romuncratlvo
prices. Tlio stock ou the wharves bus been
reduced to the minimum, nnd there is noth
ing on hand nowtomeetanysuddoh require
ment. Tho dull season id tlie coal trade,
tho Minei'i' Journal says, "is abodt drawing
to a Close, nnd Schuylkill miners nnd ship
pers will soon hove all the business they
can handle. Tho improvement in the trade
has bceii steadily increased for llireo or four
weeks, and last some of tho large operators
wero compiled to announce that they wero
full of orders for certain varieties for the
month of August, and could not undertake
to deliver any more. Theso orders embrace
nearly tho whole list of vraieties and sizes,
as hard broken aud egg, free broken, egg
and stove, Schuylkill red ash stoveShamo
kin egg and stove, Lorberry stove, Northern
Franklin egg and stove, Brookside, all sizes,
and white nsh pea. This condition of tho
trudo at the selling points puts an end to
tho long period of restriction, and will in
sure steady operations for tho remainder of
the year. As the" coal is sold at good prices
it has a corresponding effect upon tlio wages
of miners, who will now see the wisdom of
restricting the production during a certain
portion of tho year. Had tho operations
continued during tho whole year the
market would havo been glutted, and tho
product could only bo disposed ol at prices
that would not have paid tho cost of mining
and moving tha coal to tho scabbard. This
was tlio case last year, tbe only period for
many years thai full time was mado
Wages wero low, and had they been deter
mined by .the strict lettor of aggrccmeut to
regulate thopey by prico of coal there would
ha-o been great suffering in tlie region.
Mr. Gowcn's plan of establishing a mini
mum beyond which they should not decline
enabled tho men to pull through, though
with very little to sparo for contingencies."
The iihu trade also continues to improve,
and tho belief is strengthening that the fall
will witness a revival in the industry as
general as last year, and that it will be
lasting, from tbe fact that cxpcricuco has
taught them tho necessity of a moro con
servative policy in regard to prices. Com
pared with this period of last year tho trade
is much better. Only 18 furnaces'wero in
blast on the line of tlie Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad at this time last year.
Now there Cro-JO in blast, with 37 awaiting
a certainty of a steady coEtin'j-.nco ot tho
advanco to begin operations. On tho line of
Iho Lehigh tho number of furnaces is less,
but tlio proportion at work is greater. Out
of 40 furnaces 30 are In blast and 10 out. It
is good iolicy to mako every concession pos
sible in the prico of coal to tho furuace men.
Thero is a great deal of extra freight for the
railroad companies when tho furnaces are
in blast, and other profits that always come
from tho prosperity of people along the line,
which tlio starting of 37 blast furnaces would
very greatly proiiiote. During tho past week
the Philadelphia and Reading lion Com
pany's stock at Port Richmond has dimin
ished from 03,101 ions to 8-l,fiS7 tons, nnd it
would be impossible now to fill a single ves
sel with what coal there is ou the dock, ex
cept of stove and chestnut. It would bo
impossible to placo. any largo order for
broken or egg in this city. Neither the
Reading nor the Lehigh Valley would ac
cept it at circular price, for the very good
reason that they have already booked orders
for all that they can mine In three days
a week during which tho mines will bo
worked this month. Fully half of the coal
on hand at Port Richmond Is chestnut
which is awaitiug the time when the morn
ing glory stores will be placed in position.
The New. York companies report a very
active inquiry froSi dealers in the east, with
very little -coal to ba had to.meet llicir de
mands. It is already patent that tbe close
o'f tEe'wouth will find very lfUle coal above
ground unsold.

1 Slngulnrlj- Fatal Accident.
A singular and ftal accident occurred at
Glendon Sunday. John Rlobmnnd, ssslst
ant cugineer of tho old engine at the Glen
don Furnace, went to work at seven o'clock,
and about fifteen minutes afterwards, being
attracted by his cries, thocnginevrend a fil
ler ot slock No. 3, found him lying on the
Moor, his head ogalnstlhe cccentHc, which
was pounding it up and down on tho iron
floor, while his lent hung in the fly-wheel
pit, in Buch n position nsto be raughtby the
spokes of the huge wheel as they came
around. He was all covered with grease
and dirt, so as to be searcely recognizable,
liis head was bleeding from several wounds
and serious cuts, bis shoes bad been torn off
by tlio revolving tiy wheel, one ankle was
jipralned and his body was badly bruised.
Tho wounded man was taken to his home
and a physician summoned, whodrestcd the
wounds und mado him as comfortable as
possible. He died ot half past two o'clock
Monday alternnon. No one saw the accl
dent, but It is supposed that he went up on
the first platform nt the engine, which is
about twelve feet from the floor, end fell, af
ter having olio I some of the machinery.

An important arrest was made of burglars
Monday afternoon, in Allentown.by Detec
tive Simons and Johnson, of Easton, and
officers Smith and Uhl, of Alientown. At
1 o'clock on tbe morning of July 18th, the
house of Daniel Keru, a retired farmer near
Neffsvllle, Lehigh county, was entered by
masked burglars.- Mr. Kern and -wife, who
are each 07cr sir.ty years of age, and who
live alone, were thrown upon tho bed and
securely fastened to tho footboard. Tho
house was then ransacked from cellar to the
garret.
"The burglars occupied two hours In their
work. They got $3000 in money and bonds;
about $500 in money) Alientown school
bonds, $500; Lehigh county bonds, $500)
United States four per cents, $1200, and
United States four and a half per cents, $500.
The same house was entered about two
months previously and a small safe thrown
out of tlie window by the burglars, who
were disturbed and escaped. Since the rub
bery In- July the Easton detectives and lo
cal officers have been untiring in their ef
forts to catch the burglars, and last Friday
were certain they had traced them to Kutr
town. The robberies there on that night
wero not by this gang, however.
1 be parties suspected were decayed to Al

hand ready-for'work planned for that night.
