The monthly report of the city superin
tendent was read as fellows :
Lancaster, Pa., Mat 4, 1882.
7'e the Heard of Controllers :
Gentlemen: The city superintendent
submits the following report of the public
schools for the month of April : Number
of pupils enrolled, 3,000 ; average attend
ance, 2,475 ; average per centage, 84. The
number of visits made by directors was5(,
as follews: J. W. Jacksen, 3; D.
Smeych, 1 ; Luther Richards, 10 ; H.
R. Breucnian, 3 ; Rev. C. Keimcnsnyder,
9 : Dr. II. Carpenter, 1 ; II. ESlayraakcr
14 ; P. McConemv. 1 : J. M. Johnsten.
1 ; J. W. Byrne, 7. The city superintend
ent made 108 visits te the schools.
Your attention is called te the fact that
the ceurse of study for the high schools,
as printed in the book of mles, has net
been adhered te, no doubt, because it was
I eund impracticable te de se; but as we
are new drawing near te the close of the
present term, aud as it is made my duty
te see te it that the rules and regulations
of the beard are observed, I would suggest
that the changes necessary in the ceurse of
study for these schoels.be made before the
opening of the next school term.
Uhder our rule all notes of admission te
the pablic schools ought te be givcu by di
rectors. It often happens, however, that
parents, thinking the superintendent the
proper person, apply te him ; aud net un
frequcutly directors send applicants te
him for examination in order te ascertain te
what grade and schoelthoy should be sent.
Under these circumstancesl would suggest
the adoption of a rule authorizing him
te give notes of admissieu te all pupils ap
plying te him aud entitled te receive them.
This will nec in any maimer interfere with
the giving of notes by directors when ap ap
pliedte, but will simply enable the superin
tendent te de the same without vielitiug
the rules.
A rule authorizing him in cases of diffi
culty between teachers and pupils, te
transfer pupils from one school te another
of equal grade, would give the proper
sanction te the practice which has pre
vailed mero or less for the last two years,
aim weiiici etten prevent mere serious
ti nublc.
It affords me great plcastwe te report
that Andrew's Lunar-Tellurian, leccntly
purchased, is an exccllent instalment. It
has been in daily use, as will be seen by
the following circular scut te the princi
pals of the secondary schools :
The city superintendent wiii give les les
eons en the glebo te the pupils of the A
class, secondary schools, as fellows :

Friday, Mis.s Peweis'.
Very u-.-pec fully, your obedient ser
vant, R. K. Bueiiri.e.
spoke upon the subject, showing that
pupils were absent with the consent of
parents ; that in some of the schools net
a hall dozen pupils were present, and that
the subject was net of sufficient importance
te make a fuss about. The matter then
dropped.
Sale of Property Authorized.
Mr. llartman called attention te the fact
that the JNerth Mulberry street school
property is new unoccupied aud unpre
ductive. It is net likely that this beard
or any ether ene will ever 'build school
houses upon it, as the beard owns larger
and better lets in the immediate vicinity.
He moved that the property committee
be authorized te advertise the property
for sale and sell it if a proper price be
offered.
Dr. Carpenter opposed and Mr. Smeych
favored Mr. Hart man's preposition, which
was finallv a-rrccd te bv a vetn nf tln
- cj j - w, v. ..u
uearct.
Schools te be Closed.
Mr. Brcncman called attention te the
fact that Whit Monday came en the 20th
and Decoration Day en the 30th of May.
and as they were both holidays he meved
that the schools be closed during these
two days. The motion was agreed te.
The Heek Coimnlitee' Itepert.
Mr. Brosius inquired of the chair what
rule he had in view when he decided that
the report of the book committee must lie
ever.
After an interchange of opinion by sev
cral members it was decided that the re
pert should net lie ever as an amendment
te the rule, but should be taken up for
action at next meeting.
Amending the Kult-g.
In consonance with the suggestion of the
city superintendent in his report, Mr.
Cochran moved te amend the rules se as te
give the city .superintendent, as well as
directors, authority te give permits te
pupils te enter the schools, and also au
thority te transfer pupils from ene school
te another, when the interests of the
school seem te require it. The amend
ments lie ever, under the rules for future
action.

I have in use a ridger and roller cembiucd,
consisting of an Alden thill cultivator, te
which is attached a single roller thirteen
inches in diameter, with two small knobs
fastened at equal distances upon the out
side surface which form marks for the
plants. This makes an oxcelleut imple
ment for the work, and saves ene passage
ever the field in the preparation. This
size of roller in theory would make the
marks for the plants about twenty inches
apart, but an allowance must be made for
the slipping of the reller as it passes ever
the soil, which makes my roller work very
nearly two feet apart.

That part of the city superintendent's
report of last month, relative te the
orcanizatien of a city teachers' institute,
was taken up, and after being discussed
briefly by Mr. Warfel, who left the chair
for the purpose, was 011 his motion inde
finatcly postponed.
Violating the Itutes.
Mr. Byrne called attention" te the fact
that in violation of the rules of the beard
some of the teachers had closed their
schools during the street parade of Fore Fere
paugh's circus, and that seme children
whose parents supposed them te be in
school, were trampled upon and hurt, in
the crowd. He did net object te the
children seeing such street parade?, but he
thought if the schools were te be dismissed
en.such occasions, the dismissal should be
by order of the beard and theu parents
would knew their children were net in
school, and would take proper measures
te keep them out of harm's way.
Dr. Levergood said the teachers who
closed their schels ought te be named.
Mr. Slaymaker named the High school
and the Iteckland street school as being
closed en that day, and suggested that a
reduction be made in the teachers' salaries
for that day.
Mr. McConemy thought the beaid ought
net te be tee hard en the teachers and
pupils who wanted te see thejshew, as
some venerable directors had also taken
occasion te see it one of them at very
considerable cost, (referring te Dr. Lever Lever
geed, whose geld watch was stolen at the
circus.)
Dr. Carpenter, Mr. Eberman and ethers
Alaiiurcsanil their Application.
"U. A. IS," In Country Gentleman.
As has been stated in a previous article,
the farmers of Lancaster county have
learued te prize manure and te practiee
economy in making and saving it. Large
quantities are also shipjicd from 1'hiladcl
phia, which, with the large home bupply
consequent en the customary system of
stock keeping, previdcsfertilizerssuflicieut
for the wants of the tobacco fields. Com
mercial fertilizers arc used only in moder
ate quantities, aud the tobacco growers
have learned from experieuce that nothing
lias yet been found se suitable for fertiliz
ing tebacci land as barnyard or stable
manure. Herse manure is unquestion
ably the best, but cow manure if well
rolled and used in sutlicient quantities
answers the purposes well.
It may be asked, what the objections
are te commercial manures. I answer,
mainly from my own experieuce in using
them for tobacco in the Chemung valley,
that they are net well adapted te the re
quirements of the plant in all soils. Tltere
are certain kinds of soil upon which agoed
uranu 01 icrunzer would doubtless pro
duce geed rcaults, and might be used
with profit te the grower, but I have
found them of little value en heavy clav
or gravelly loams, such as aie commonly
used for tobacco in this valley and in Lan
caster county. Barnyard manure has
ether desirable- effects upon heavy soils
besides furnishing the elements of fer
tility. It has a chemical action, atd
when used in fairly large quantities
renders the soil "lively" loeso and
friable, making it mere easily cultivated
and better" adapted te the wants
of the tobacco plant. The burning
qualities of the tobacco are also affected
te a serious extent often, when, commer
cial fertillizcrs are largely used. In the
Lancaster section tobacco stalks are utili
zed with excellent success for manuring
tobacco land. They are usually prepared
by cutting them up into short pieces from
two te six inches in length and composting
with ether manure, with which they are
applied when partially rotten. The
quantity of manure that should be applied
per aese upon land ler tobacco should de
pend wholly upon circumstances. There
is very little danger of applying tee much,
however, and as a general thing if
the giewers of tobacco in the -northern
tobacco growing sections would apply all
their manure te one-half, the acres, the
results would be much mero satisfactory
te all concerned. Many of the Lancaster
growers exercise almost unnecessary care
in manuring their tobacco fields or
" patches." It is common te sce fields
which have been planted, harrowed aud
worked as if prepared for corn, with small
even-sixed heaps of manure placed in the
alternate rows seven or fourteen feet
apatt each way. The object of this is
that the manure would be spread evenly,
which is indeed an important point. I
have found that by harrowing, land after
having spread the manure as evenly as
possible, the same result is secured and
the manure pulverized and evenly distri
buted. Plew Irg and Jtldgiug.
As the tobacco plant is a rapid grower,
and matures its eiep in a short period of
time, tee much attention can hardly be
given te fitting the soil. The meie the
soil can be turned and stirred, the mero
thoroughly will it be pulverized and th5
mere lully the manure incorporated
through it. If the soil is stubble laud it
is usually plowed in the fall, and again in
the spring as early as ita condition will
allow, and again still later, or shortly be
fore planting time. If a timothy sod is te
be planted with tobacco, I should prefer te
plow it early in the spring se that it may be
partially retted by the time the plants are
tot out. In this case a thorough cultivation
and harrowing should be given preparatory
te marking and ridging for the plants.
Clever ground usually leaves the
soil in excellent condition when turned
down, and may be left until late in May
before being plowed, which will give it
time te make considerable growth of top,
which will prove advantageous te the soil
aud te the tobacco. In all cases, whatever
the nature or condition of the soil, it should
be reduced te fineness en the surface by
use of the harrow aud roller. Next in
order is te work off the patch into rows
three and one-half or four feet apart,
with a corn marker. Tobacco in Lancas
ter county is usually planted in rows four
feet apart and arc about two feet apart in
the row. I think this the best distance for
setting the plants en strong soil, and
where the large growing seed leaf varieties
are grown. With Havana seed, the rows
should net. be mere than three or three
and a half feet apart at most, and the
plants may be set nearer together in the
rows.
When the rows are marked out they
are passed ever with a cultivator with the
shares adjusted se as te threw the eartu into
a ridge directly ever the marks. These
ridges are then rolled down with a light
roller having cleats nailed en at the proper
distance apart te form marks in which the
plants ate te be set. In small patches the
