Tri 1 . ... \ EARLY EDUCATION IN`BRADFCBID NIT. The report of the litiperintendent of Public liihruction for 1811 is Much more interesting than 'ordinary s`idiooi reports. In addititm to the general .and statistical' i:nowled?::e usually embodied itt a ' report of this gifl, at the suggestion intim State SupciintCndent, each County SiTerin tendent giN C 8 a brief history of the, rise and growth of the schools ih his distrkct. From the report of the late Superintetid cut Keeney, we compile, rather extract some of the most bite/es - jag facts 'con nected with the developments of the press ent school system in Bradford County. • ",The earliest elementary schools in the. coniity, as established by the' first white ,settlers, were conducted in the most sim ple and primitive style. The people lived iu log houses and the school houses were ;mostly of the same material. All the cost Of building, an linishing them was raised' by voluid4y subscription. A large stone fire-place occupied one end of the room, and logs were used for fuel to warm • the : room. Writinglables were fastened to the sides of the school-room, the scholars sat on the benches with their faces toward the writing tables and their backs toward the center of the room. Tim benches were made of slabs, with the flat sides up. The legs were saplings about two inches in diameter. ',, * 4. -* . A male teacher received t as icompensatien about twelve dollars per month, and a female, , one dol lar per week and' board." The schooLs; of course, were supported by the rate bill system: The branches taught were the most elementary. Among the text books were the "English Reader," An.erican Preceptor, Webster's- tVeller, Daboll's Arithmetic and Murray's Grammar. The teacher shalpened a enili for the Ondent to write with. No blackboard, and the farthest remove from Uniformity of text book. In 1788 ore or 1789, Master . Root taught ie,Athens near the site of the pres ent school building. At Athens also the first Academy in the County was built, 1797. The first scluxil in Canton township was taught by - Loren Kingsbury in the winter of 1801-'2. : The first :school in Granville was taught by 311s$ Delight Spalding in 1807. -In-the same year a log school house -" was' built in Smithfield township, which answered-for school pur- - posesJ for the whole settreinent, the teach er receiving his salary in work by those who patronized him." The LeßaYsville , Academy was established in 11230, Towan da Aeademy in 183 k Wysox Academy in 1840, .tome Academy in 1848, Troy Acap emy, about' 1839 and:the Camptown • and WyalUsing Academies about 1856.

As the bottom and top of box cover the whole area of those sides, the area of them would be 2x square. As all the sides overlap the ends, the length of end would be x-43, and the area would be xi-12x+30, - of both ends 2x 2, --24x+ 72. As the two sides overlap the ends, and are themselves overlapped by the top and bOttom, the length and breadth of one end are respectively x and - x-0, the area-is r x=---6x, of both sides 2x 2 -12x.

Therefore ho should receive 4 more, (4 of 90) or 2,23 cents. I have a gaiden 12 rods square. How many trees may be planted on it, each tree to be one rod apart and no nearer the fence than j a rod? As the trees are to be I a rod from the fence, the distance from the corner tree to the tree on ilia other corner on a lino with the fence is 11 rods. We set the trees in diagonal rows, slant ing to such a degree that any four adja cent trees will form a diamond, of whic.h forms an equilateral triangle.
