THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1900.
'
WORK OF COUNTY
SCHOOLS REVIEWED
Concluded Irom t'age 5.1
ols and the pupils are carried In wagons to
1ic graded school. Newton has partitioned a
large one room bulletins and last year employed
two teachers, and (traded the school. Hansom
hired tivo teachers (or Its central school, mine
a rented room (or the lower grade.
In JefTcraon a public meeting was held and
.he subjects were fully ellscimcil, and a reso
ution passed ulelng the board to establish
graded schools. Hut ulicn the matter came to
a tote in a. board meeting-, the directors were
evenly dUlded and the question was lost. There
has also been much .scuwlon In Denton, Scott
and Greenfield, but no action haa been taken.
'the chief objection seems to be the fear that
taxes will be increased. In most of these dis
tricts the citizens who are sending their chil
dren to academics and normal schools are send
ing enough money out of the district each )car
to pay the etpemes of a good high school at
home. In a dlttrlct where ten pupils arc sent
away to school it is sife to Fay that the total
amount of money rallied out of the district Is
rot les than U2.000) two thouand dollars a
ear. This money put into a good high school
at home would not onlv proilde educational ad
tantagrs for these ten fortunate pupils, but
would gle equal adantiscs to a hundred others
who under present conditions can richer hac
the benefits of a higher education The com
mon schools ought to provide (or the children
pf the common people
PROFESSIONAL ADVANCEMENT.
The scope and efficiency of the schools of
any district depend almost absolutely upon the
knowledge and professlnml skill of the teach
ers cmplojed. Hence the most Important duty
of a superintendent is to see that none but
qualified teachers arc emplojed. If he grants
certificates to Incompetent persons, no amount
of work that ho mnv do after will rcpilr the
deficiency, only good teachers can mike good
schools. Acting upon this theory, i hue striirn
persistently to secure the best teachers avail
able (or the sihools o( tlil count. An idea of
the change in the grade of teieliers rmplojed
may be obtained (rem tlio following compart
ton :
In lfiJ, the year befoie I began my work as
superintendent, the teacher 111 this county were
iliKilflid as follows- li-achcra holding prois
ional certificates, 1M, professional cirtltlc.itis,
Si; permanent rertltk.ites, li normal
Khool diplomas, l.t; totil number hold
ing higher grade tertiflcatei, 51. or about 25
per tent, of the whole number emplojed. From
my statistical report of this jear we liac:
Te.irhers holding proWonal certificates, 103;
irnfelninl certificate', 43; permanent certifi
cates, 42; normal school diplomas, !X);
tot.il number holding higher grade cer
tificates 177, or about 0.1 per cent, of the
whole number c-mpIoM-iI. Xnr Is this compari
son inMcadlng. llefnre ISM professional cer
tificates were granted without examination and
represented only common branches, no profes
fioiul reading. Now, In addition to common
branches candidates for the professional certifi
cates aic rcquiic'd to pass an examination In
civil government, rhetoric, school management,
methods of Instruction, and history of eduea
tlon. Hcfore applying for the permanent cer
tificate, candidates are required to add to the
branches before named algebra, English litem
tine and general lilftory. While this course is
not so extensive as the elementary eourse in
nonnil schoo's, we bollcv tint mam- ot our
holders of the permanent certificate who have
a thorough Knowledge cif the subjects ami from
six to ten sears csprrii-nce In teaching will
compare favonbly with the average normal
Echonl graduate.
IIKVII'.HS AND EXAMINATIONS.
A majority of on.- schools continued to use as
a general guide the Illinois Course pf study.
Why should we not have a Pennsylvania Course
with an outline of it piinted in every teacher's
report book?
Monthly reviews were given bv the teachers
and lepoit cards sent to the patrons In nearly
all the schools. Drill eainlnitlons weie held
in ..ay ami June, and pupils were examined
in common branihes and in our high school
course. Results in most e-asrs were satisfactory.
IIISrOHlCAL.
Complying with the request of the Depart
ment of Public Instruction, I add to this report
a short historical sketch of the progress of
Lackawanni county schools from ls75 to the
present time. In this I am obliged to rely al
most entirely upon the reports of preceding su
perintendent. In 17j the districts now in
cluded in Lackivvanna county were a part of
Lurrrne, and wire under the supervision of W.
A. Campuell, who closed i last term cf office
In June, 1ST:. At that time (l"5) there were
21 school districts in the territory which be
earne Lackawanna county, not counting Scran
ton. Dumnorc and C'arbondalc.
To these tvvcnt.v-one districts have been added
the townships of Lehigh, Clilton and West Abing
ton and the boroughs of Archbald, Dalton. Dick
son, Elmhurst, Glenhum, l.a l'lumc, Maj field,
Olvplunt, 'i'jvlcr and Ihroop. ami during the last
Je-ar the new- boroiuhs of Old Forgo, Jloo-,lc and
Wmlllng, making in all thiity-seven districts In
tlu county, exclusive of the three Independent
districts of fscranlon, (uibondile and Dunmorc.
1 lie total number of .elinoU then was Ui, and
the number of the pupils enrolled was 7,507. We
now have 2S2 diy mIuioIs and fifty night schools.
Our total enrollment in the day schools now is
over 13,000 pupils.
'I bus, while we have not quite doubled our en-rollrie-nt
in the tvv cut) -live jears, we have eigh
teen more than doubled the number of teachers
emplojed. This indicates a moic lational con
eeptlon of teaihlng, and what a teacher cm do,
as will be uppuciatcd when we observe tint
lllakely borough then enrolled 337 pupils and
hired three teachers; Old Forge enrolled 434
pupils and hired four tiacheis. It must not be
supposed that this lapld increase in the number
of pupils In schools is general throughout the
county; for while schools und pupils in the min
ing region have multiplied lapidlv, the number
attending schools in fanning districts is deceas
ing, i
Ten districts taken from the farming region
give the following figures; i

Here ten representative farming districts show
in aggregate loss in the enrollment of 470 pupils,
"he e 'bcur of pupils in these districts Is prob
ablj as huge as In 1873. The (ailing olT in the
enrollment is due to the (act that pupils drop
out ot these schools at an earlier age than in 1S73.
Then there were many oung men and women
In school (rom IS to 20 scars of uge; now one
seldom sees a pupil over 10 jcars old in the

country schools go to normal schools and acade
mies to complete their education ; the remaining
three-fourths .ate no further training. If these
sciools were) consolidated and graded, so that
some high school work could be done, the enroll
ment would, no doubt, be greater than In 1873.
SALARIES.
The average salary paid to male teacher In
1S7S was J38.81 per month; to 'females, $23.79.
o now pay an nvrrsge of $10.01 to males, and
$3132 to females. Those salaries are about 27
per cent, higher than those of 1875. The aver
age length ol term in 1875 was about seven and
one-hilf months; In 100U about eight and one
half months.
IIUILDINOS AND FUItNlTIinE.
The number and charaeter of school buildings
In rural districts have not changed much during
the last twenty-five c"i. In cases where old
buildings have worn out, new ones have been
erected. These new houses are generally better
and Ijrger than those of tho earlier period. Uiil
they arc ull em the same plan, and arc all
heated by stoves. There are no means of sentll
ntlon except by windows. One sometimes wishes
that some carpenter would design and build a
district school house upon a different plan, pro
aiding for ventilation in some way that would
avoid the colds whlidi almost alwaja icsult fiom
window ventilation.
In the boroughs much improvement Ins been
nude In the stjlc and character of school build
ings The first modern building properly heated
and ventilated was erected at Olyphant about
1MJ. Mnee that time tiearly all ot the districts
in the mining region have torn ilown their old
houses and erected modern buildings ranging in
cost from $3,000 to $;0,000. Only one school
house in the county Is still furnished with the
old fashioned carpenter-built desks and many are
supplied with best single desks. Nearly all
buildings throughout the county have an abund
ance of slato blackboards. These Improvements
hive all been made since 1S75.
I'icvIous to 1873 no attempt had been made to
improve school grounds. Many of the school
yards In boroughs have since been fenced and
planted with trees. The township lots have also
been improved in some places; but as most of
these lots arc unfenced, many of the trees plant
id have been dest roved.
LIilRAMES.
I can find no evidence that any effort had
been nude in the county previous to 1S75 to es
tablish school libraries. Tlieic are now libraries
ranging from UO to 800 volumes in Archbald,
Illahclv, DirVtson, Jermyn, Moscow, 01 pliant and
Wavcrly. Some other boroughs have smaller li
braries. Since IsOJ efforts have been made to
fiitablish libraries in country schools, and there
arc now libraries of from thirty to me hundred
volumes in about twenty of these schools.
SL'IT.niNTENDENTS.
As before stated, the territory now Included
In this count was in 1875 a part -of Lurerne,
and was until 187S under the supervision of W
A, Campbell. I learn from his reports that
school terms were short, in some districts only
live months, and the term in many divided Into
a summer and winter term. Wages of teachers
were as low- as $12 per month. Teachers in rural
districts boarded around among the patrons.
Miny pupils came to school without text books,
anil teachers were anno.ved and progress retarded
by the use of several series of books In the same
school.
Graded schools existed In four districts, lllake
ly, Dunmore, Jpimyn and South Ablngton. Super
intendent Campbell urged direelors to Insist upon
uniformity of text books, and advised them to
purchase books for all puplla with public funds.
In June, 1S7S, Junes M Couahlln became super
intendent ol schools In Liircrnc county and the
districts now (ormlng Lackawanna county were
under his supervision one oar. Mr. Coughlin
was an able and energetic superintendent, but the
thoroughness of his examinations and the courage
he exhibited In rejecting incompetent applicants
for the teacher's certificate gained for him the
additional title of "The (treat Itejector."
About this time the county of Lackawanna was
set off (rom Luzerne and in June, 1870, the state
superintendent appointed Miss II. Evel.vti Ilrooks
to be county superintendent (or the unexpired
term two cars. In lsl Mi Ilrooks wis eleet
cd (or another term by the school director and
continued in office until June. 1SSI. At the end
of her first car in oltke (ltn she reported 141
schools In the county, enrolling ll.'ttS pupils
These figuris did not include the borough of
Dunmorc, which about this time bee .line nn inde
pendent ellstrict with Professor L. It. Fowler as
superintendent. The salaries paid to teachers
were still very low, the average being $32 II
per month for male, and $21.01 for females. The
lowest alarv in the county was Ml at per month,
and the highest was K0, paid to the principal
of the Navcrly graded school.
In her written reports Mis Ilrooks poke of
the poor school building, unsuitable school fur
niture, lack of blickboards, the vile and unsani
tary condition of the water closets, the great
eliflleultle-s arising from the lack of text books,
the neglect of certain school directors to make
necessary repairs upon school buildings, and the
Irregular and illegal methods used by some school
boards in conducting the affairs of their district.
She also reported Improvements in several direc
tions The boarding round sjsteni was confined
in 160 to five district. Hotter qualltl d teachers
were sought in some dlstilct. One of the coun
try districts, Hansom, was praised (or having
adopted a continuous term. School houses weie
being impioved. Local institutes were held in
Ablngton, Ytjicily, Olcnburn and Jefferson.
Teachers' salaries were increasing.
In her last report, written in 1831, Miss Brooks
discussed at length the methods of certain poli
tic lans who had tried to compel her to issue
certificates to incompetent persons, and to secure
the appointment of friends and relitives in the
place of qualified teachers. Miss Ilrooks was a
candmate for re-election In IsSJ, but on account
of her uncompromising stand against lllet.il ai
tions of school boards ami the clients of lo il
politicians to control the schools, she wai de
feated. Mls Brooks was regaided by mm) as i
faithful and conscientious official; but she same
times defeitcd her own purpose by criticising
men and tilings too sharply.
Professor N. S. Davis, elected county superin
tendent in 15.34. continued In office nine jejrs.
I quote briefly from his annual reports. Accord
ing to his first report, Mr. Divis found in the
county 131 schools and 7,053 pupils enrolled. The
average salaries paid were $12.72 to males and
$2S.22 to females, an increase of about 30 per
cent, above the salaries paid at the beginning of
Miss Biooks' first term. This is certainly a good
showing for five cars and indlcites a radical
change 111 the way school 'Electors regarded
education. In his annual report of 1883 Mr Davis
recorels rcmatkablc activity in erecting new build
ings, fifteen new- houses being built In the two
cars. This building boom, which began with
the erection cf the central building at 01 pliant
In 1SS3, continued for ears and reached nearly
every district in the country. The crusade against
"boarding around" and tin divided term begun
by Miss Brooks and continued by Mr Davis
was also finally successful In 1S00. Mi Davis
also refers to the Introduction of phslo1ogy In
18s0, the celebration of Arbor day In 1RS7, the
Introduction of free text books in some districts
before the passage of the free text book law,
and reported that all schools were supplied with
patent desks. Mr. Davis was succeeded by the
writer in 1S'.
Of the work of the present Incumbent I leave
ouiers to speak. It has been chiefly In the direc
tion of securing better qualified teachers for our
schools. Respectfully submitted,
J. C. Taylor,
Superintendent of Schools (or Laclawanns
