progress was made (biting the year in all 1
the districts in the county, but more no
doubt in some tjum in others; and I am
quite unwilling to believe that anyone otf l
the districts in the county retrograded in
the least:during the year. •
1, 3 0/ic Senttnunt.---The public ~_sentim
ent ofthe county in relation to the corn
monschool system has continued to .im-.1
prove, mato adopt its salutary provis
ions asfast -as could be expected; for a
change, to :be
_healthy and permanent, I
should not; be too, sudden. There. arc
numerous evidences of the improved
state of public sentiment in regard to our
school affairs, and one of them is the great
contrast between the old and new school
houses. Before the present system was:
in operation things called school houses
were-built for from $BO to $l5O eath,while
at the present time school houses are Le
ib; :built worth from $250 to $5OO carh,
—that' a tine ornament they are tot, in the
neighborhood where they are yuilt.
.-;'.ogurs4ons.'77-Many times thisAirectoes
,-are much troubled to obtain sites or
Inca
tions for school houses, and I' -would - sag - -
gest that the law applicable to a few
counties be made general.
I Vould'it not be well to reduce the sev
era boards from six to three members;
, - ate pay each of the 'two menibers, - .say
I
fifteen dollars, and the secretary twenty
dollars annually? • •
I would suggest that the time,for com
meneing the sjhool year be changed from
the first of Jute to the first of May, as I
I observe in all fanning districts the aver- -
age attendance of pupils is nineh less dur
ing the months of August and September,
than-during the mouths of May and Jimmie ;
and certainly the.irregular attendance , of
I pupils is a -serious obstacle in the way of
!improvement
