Ndtrenougli care seems to have beefitaken in selecting sites Tor these naw houses;'and the quantity of land provided for outbuildings and play-grounds has ■ been, in most oases, very insufficient. A-half aore of.good dry ground I consider indispen sable to the propsr location of a school-house. Scarcely one of the new bouses has been prop erly fepdod or supplied with outbuildings.'

Schools.— Biosa, Knoxville, Liber ty, Xawtenoevillo,. Mansfield,Tioga‘ borough, Fall Brook (Ward), and Wellaboro, have each graded schools. To these should be added within the nest two years, Covington borough, Kelson,'Westfield, Oceola, Roseville (Rutland) and Grey’s Talley (Sullivan). So far as good teachers and good buildings can be provided, graded schools may be made to yield ell the practical .advantages cf academies, By the superior classification attainable in such schools many of the-higher branches may be advanta geously taught j whereas, in many* of our schools,-teachers do not find time to teach, or scholars do’ not have the opportunity of pursu ing to advantage all of tbs Branches prescribed by law-. ' TixcHEBS-rr^he,teachers of this,county ars at present mostly females. Of 248 schools vis ited daring the year, I found 221 in ihe hands of female teachers. This I conceive to be mainly'the result of the war. Bat the gradu ally increasing'progress of the female sex'in literature, "science, general Information, and .the more public recognition of .their .ability to ■ govern and to instruct, were causes which even prior to the war," were tending, in some degree to. produce the same effect. In general, the fe .male teachers daring the past year were euc easeful. It weald be too much, however, to say that the standard of qualifications has not been lowered eince so many brave and intstli genf teachers have gone to the war, yet I can safely'aseert that the number of Well qualified fetnalo teachers was never so great as at' the present (fine; and-instances have not been .wanting where female teachers, have succeeded 'well oq tSkfng the places of ; male tsaoherawho Be&tfiitiiissed for InreapWeiiyr 'bw. roe as well, as male teachers • are yetbaokwsrdv They, need- more lifa-and energy, more independence and originality of thought’ and action, more genuine and thor ough education., Since,to,the female teachers has fallen the task of sustaining the character and dignity- which should everywhere mark their noble profession, they’ .should,.qualify ' - 7S •s r. 65 •:?4 51 'as* ■ X 225 23' " 16- themselves thoroughly for the work .Whatever may hitherto have been said respecting ■" wo- sphere, "Jt tmisrcow be conceded 7 that common"-schools •■'depends , 97 -230. mainly upqn-Onr Yemale teachers for support If the-institutioa.ba sustained, to them-beiongs the.glory. If it. shall fall, or suffer disgrace, 2ti. upon them must rest the fearful responsibility, " Examinations. —l have made the written method the basis in all pnblio examinations. By this method, with’ a-iclass 'of-average size (17), twelvc'-questions on each, branch answer the purpose of over two hundred by, the -oral i method. No permanent certificates have been granted during’the year, for the reason'that I ' desired to ’ascertain first if some uniformity of action could be agreed npdn’by the Superin tendents’ Convention, Hereafter, candidates passing a satisfactory oral examination in ad dition to the regular written one will be enti tled to receive a pemanent certificate. - ’Visitations.— During the year I traveled in every district in the county, and visited all the schools in .operation at. the time. The schools '.reported not visited," are those which, have been temporarily suspended during term-time, While the vißltatioa"of so many schools has been attended with a great deal of espsass’and bard labor, it. has-been -to me- the • source of much pleasure. It, hue also tended M strength en, my belief that when, this labor Is performed with fidelity, it may be. made.-the . means of great benefit to the schools!’’But.'ln order to fully realize this benefit, teachers must take ad vantage of the visitations, and thereby stimu late their soholats'to greater .excellence! Schol ars should be taught to regard the Superinten dent as a friend and a teacher, who comes to encourage and commend them if they do well, or-to rebuke and kindly admonish thedt-if they .he found " oat,of the way." , Such.is ae.rauah ,tho mission of the Superintendent in.his/daily intercourse with scholars as it is the mission of every true teacher.’ But if teachers are aeons-’ ■ tomed to feel and to express a- dread and die- ■ -like of the Superintendent's visits, scholars rarely fail to imbibe the same spirit;'and when the Superintendent .comes, he meats with a cold reception; the children are " frightened .to death," as the saying goes, and look with dis trust upon everything he says; his visits prove failures, ■ Whose fault is it ? ■■ ' V' ‘ -- District -Secretaries. —The directors of rone district,.Sullivan,^appointed;their, secretary,to . act aa. district -superintendent with a oompen sation of one dollar.per.day. ...A few othsn.of thej more enterprising’ boards are talking strongly of carrying into effect this feature of : ths‘aohdol Taw. -If cannot be too strongly ree-, ommendad, provided.tha proper person-oaa'bs; .got to fill the position,,"; The district superin tendent might relieya-tbe board of a great deal ;pf labor and time‘spent in doing the business of the district, and siilce no 'other ;membsra of the board are allowed compensation-'fir their services, it-is but-just that they should be r - ,lieved.aa far as .possible from .all extra-labor.;.

Must this failure be attrl- i bated to the increased-proportion of female 1 teaeberc ? Directors generally favor district institutes; bdt they- cannot reasonably ho ex pected to spend their, time na a board to attend them. They ehouldhiy nil means appoint their ••secretaries ae.dietrict superintendents, allowing them a fair .compensation, for. attending insti tutes. • Tbis.-jjoures has been . adopted by Charleston district, Ono or two districts have required their teaohera to epsnd each alternate : Saturday in reviewing .their ovnasohuok,. Tina ; plan, like .all other plans for. keeping ■ schools i open.on Saturdajvhas proved a failure) I have ; y.at to.meet with the aohooi where the scholars -attend regularly more than,fire days in a week, oltprcduceifar lese derangement in tha classes, if schools are entirely closed on Saturdays, and , scholars; induced, ae tlssy may he, to attend .more regularly .on other, days. Tbcjjgh the .eßstriot institute system has sorao obstacles to overcome in this county, yet I see no good reason .why it may not eventually become suc cessful, k - - . Esuoanoifii Acekciss.—Two sessions of ihs county institute have been held during the year, one at Wellaboro, and one at Oceola, The session at the letter place was a profitable one, and it tended very much to strengthen the oon- JdonoS of- tha tbs teachers 5a tha usefulness of ?sach an organization. I had begun to fear that tho general character of the-county institute would have to be abandoned, owing to the great decrease of raala-teaohers, and that looal institutes would have to be substituted in differ-, ent parts of the county to accommodate tha i largely increased numbers of female teaohera wljo very much need the agency of teachers’- institutes to fit them for the profession to which they aspire.
