Geary's annual message for 1872 is eminently n practical document; the different matters connected with the administration of State affairs are reviewed In plain terms, and the most obvious needs of legislation are brought to the attention of the Legislature. The Governor commences with a brief refer once to the unusual amount of important busi ness which will Claim consideration at the hands of the Legislature, and expresses the hope, iii whiCh the people of the whole Slate will most heartily Join, that the members will exhibit that industry and thithfulness which will secure them the proud title of " the work ng Legislature."' The finances of of the State are reported to be In a very healthy condition. All demands have been promptly met, the public debt has been meterlally reduced, and public confidence In the State securities has been so Increased ns to cause them to command the highest premi ums in the market. The total receipts of the State Treasury during the year ending with November 80 were $7,707,400 ; and the dls bursments were $0,431.022, leaving a balance' of $1,802,042. The State debt on the 30th of November amounted to $31,111,061, a de crease or $1,702 870 during the year,and a de. crease of $6,002,747 since January, 1867,mak ing nn average annual decrease of 61,648,187 during the last lout• years. Ile suggests that a less rapid payment of the debt may now safely be pursued, and that an acinual reduction of $1,000,000 µpd revision and reduction of taxa tion would form a better policy for the future. There arc now in the State 2,002 school districts; 1.1,212 schools, 3,100 directors, 79 county and other supecin tendents, 10,012 tenebi.rs and '828,891 pupils. This is an increase over last year of 31 dis• triets, 277 schools, 417 gentled schools, 200 directors, three superintendents, 470 teachers and 13,13$ pupils. The total expenses of the year for school pm•p":es ts ere $15,837,183. The present estimated value of school property in the State is $15.337,183. Ilesidcs the pub lic schools there are Live NOIIIIII3 schools, with 06 profe,sors an 1 tutors, [lnd 2,675 students. The buildings and grounds of these schools are valued at $261,667, and the furniture and apparatu9 at $75,000.

It is well that justice should be tempered with mercy, but it is not well for communities that justice should be supplanted by mercy.- Every man.whaJa: convicted of a crime has some domestic and social relations, and scarcely any one is ever scut to prison whose confinement there does not operate ns a hardship upon some entirely innocent persons. To balance between the. injury that is done to these persons by the imprisonment of the guilty party and the wrong that would be inflicted upon the, com munity by the release of the offending one is almost always a question of great delicacy to decide, and it is not strange that many mis. takes are made in tile exercise of the pardon ing power. The number of applii atldns made to Gov. Geary for pardons during last year was twelve hundred and forty, end the amount of labor and care which were required to de ckle whether those applications ought to be granted or refused must have been very great. In only sixty-two of these cases were the rip. plientions favorably regarded, and the fact that eleven hundred and seventy.eight of these petitions were rejected is a significant com mentary upon mod ern pardon petitions We do not know the number of convictions that were made during the last year, but it is evident that If this whole number of petitions had been granted there would have been a partial, at least, nullification of the work oi the Courts. And it is hardly worth while to maintain a judicial system for the trial and conviction of criminals and then absorb the Governor's time in undoing their work. The ' pardoning power was not conferred upon the Executive for that purpose, and it were better that there were no pardoning power at all than that all the petitions should have been granted. Looking over the list of the slaty two pardons which were granted last year by Gov. Geary and noticing by whom the peti tions were signed, we do•not wonder that their prayers were favorably considered. They were signed by Members of Congress, Judges, District Attornics, Lawyers and pro• minent citizens, and the character of the men represented by the names would be accepted es almost proof positive that the cases were worthy of Execution interference. But it is highly probable that just as respectable and influential names were appended to many of the eleven hundred and seventy-eiglit petitions which were rejected, and the practical lesson which we would impress upon the public in regard to this very important subject is the necessity of the strictest care and caution iu re. gard to the signature of these petitions. There are ens, s where the exercise of the pardoning power is a necessity and an advantage, but these casts are comparatively rare, and bear a very small ratio to the number of contic thins. They 'oust necessarily be so unless our whole judicial system is a fiction and a fraud, and the fact that a man has been convicted of crime is not prima facie evidence that he de eervcs to be p,u•doned. The community has rights and privileges which must be regained and respectetimnd it is hater that the few im mediately dependent upon the convicted party in a community should be swept away. The should suffer titan that all securities for life and to; ertymople nmst hold thaxecutive respon sible Cur the priii.er use of the pardoning pow er,but it is their business to ace that he is not flooded with petitions Which are supported by no tanythic grtund of either justice or mercy. ralE LEGISLATURE la lmy n correct , and classified * list of the members of both Branches of the Penn• syll alibi Lee islature.

She was some time ago married to l'ion Fermtneo i , father of the King of Portugal, and the 'Spanish throne was several times offered to Fernando, both before nod since his marriage. Miss Ilensler meant to become Queen of Simla, just to re. 'tamge herself on the noble ladies of Madrid and Lisbon who looked down upon her on ac count of her humble origin. Fernando left the acceptimee of the crown dependent upon the position whieh o should be awarded his wife, who was bound to be recognized as Queen or nothing, and its the Spanish Minister would not agree to that the negotiations were broken and the crown was offered to the Prince of Hohenzollern. This, as is well known, was !nude the pretext for the declaration of war ngionst Prussia by France, and so this Massa chusetts girl's ambition has been quite potent In results. ls Seine satisfaction to know that Capt. Eyre, the commander of the British Steamer Bombay which ran into the American steamer Oneida on the cost : ef Japan, has been dis missed from the service of the Veninsulaund Oriental Steamship Comitany, This dimissal was certainly richly deserved •by the Inhu manity which Capt. gyre manifested on that dec. aloe, and It is pleasant to know that he w t have a chance to repeat the conduct nined for him the censure of tho rid. THE LEttIOECItEGISTER, ALLEnOWN, WEDNESDAY THElriltllPE POLICY. review of the state of the Iron market for 1870 has been published by Mr. Edward Samuel, of Philadelphia, the facts of which are important and suggestive. There was a steady and gradual decline in the market price of No. .1 1 113.....4 0 4. thyouglt.the..year, the extremes being $35.17 per ton in January and $30.60 per ton in December. The average prices for the intermediate months were as follows : February, $34.00 ; March, $33.95 ; April, *32.50; May, $82.50; June, $82.40; July, $32.44; August, $88.60 ; September, $32.69 ; October, $81.88; November, $81.25. The reduction in the average market price was thus $4.07 for the year, and the average reduc lion per ton as compared with the prices of 1809 was $7.51. In 1809 the extreme prices of the year were $42.18 in January and $37.60 in December, a reduction of $4.58 for the year. The reduction in prices last year,as compared with the previous year, has borne hardly upon the manufacturers,because their expenses Were fully as largo in 1870 as in 1809. And with no reduction in the cost of the raw ma-. terials used and in the labor employed in the manufacture, and with a constantly falling market for the manufactured product there can of course be but little profit, even if there is not a positive loss. The importance of the iron interest in this locality rendersit exceedingly desirous that the future of the iron trade should be inviting and prosperous, and any legislation by Congress which tends to cripple the iron business is a direct and forcible blow at the business pros. perity and material development of the. region of which Allentown is the business and social centre. Favorable legislation, on the Mbar hand, and by this we mean nothing more than fair protection against the pauper labor by Which the British iron masters make their iron, would double the number of furnaces in the Lehigh Valley in five years, and more than double the business done In this vicinity. Our Iron Companies are, with no exceptions as far as we have personal knowledge, ready to build additional Furnaces as soon as the condition of the trade will warrant such a step, and the simple difference to this region between fair and reasonable Protection for 'loam Industry and Free Trade will be the difference between prosperity and ruin. The Lehigh Valley was evidently designed by Nature as one of the great iron producing dis tricts of the world,.for there are here all the requisites of abundant and comparatively cheap raw materials and nearness to market. With all these natural advantages it were cer tainly criminal to neutralize them by adverse legislation, and we hope that our industrial resources will have from Congress the consid eration which their importance demands. And It is not only in the interest of the iron trade and of our own city and county that we advocate the protective policy against the insidious fallacies of the so called " revenue reformers," but there is no other way in which the industry of the whole country can be brought out and made available and pro ductive. Protection will aid in the develop ment of our own resources and in the building up of our own industries, while Free Trade builds up foreign manufactures curried on by degraded and underpaid labor at the expense of our own artizans and laborers. Surely there ought to be no question between two so conflicting po'icies as these in a community which lives by Industry and thrift. hi the SENATE On Wednesday, bills were introduced to unable honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, their widows and orphan children, to acquire homesteads on public lands of the United States; to encourage the development of the mineral wealth of the United States, and incorporating a United States Mining School and Metallurgical Acad emy ; incorporating the Japan Steam Navi gation Company. The bill amendatory of the funding act of last session, authorizing an increase of the' issue of five.per cent. bonds from two hundred millions to five hundred millions, and making the interest payable quarterly, was passed. In the House, the dill providing for an International exhibition in Philadelphia iu 1870 as a celebration of the centennial of American Independence came up but was postponed for want of a quorum. Notice was given that the San Domingo reso lutions would be brought before the House on Illoilday. Bills were introduced and referred to extend the benefits of the homestead policy to disabled soldiers and sailors, and to the widows, orphans, and dependent relatives of those who died in the service of the coun try ; to provide for the pay of election officers appointed by the United States judges in cities having upwards of twenty thousand in ' habitants ; and to provide that no pension shall hereafter be allowed, except in cases where the Wounds or disabilities are contract ed in actual hostile service against the public enemy. 1113IMMINI IN the 'SENATE, MI Thursday, a resolution was adopted requesting, the President to com municate to the Senate the last correspondence between Minister Motley, and the State De partment. The Vice President: announced that Messrs , Thurman, Hamlin, Trumbull, Howe find Willey bad been appointed a Select Committee to consider certain charges against Senator Sprague In connection with blockade running in Texas during: the rebellion. A bill appropriating $25,000 in payment for the house of a Union Surgeon, which Was destroyed at Paducah, Ky, by order of the Union comman der, WaS passed. In the House, a bill was passed appropriating MOO for the payment of an amanuensis for Minister Schenck. The partial disability of Geu. Schenck's right hand by wounds received in battle made Oda ap propriation necessary. The Senate bill au thorising the Issue of $500,000,000 in five per cent bonds was referred to the Ways and Mea . ns Committee. THE SENATE was not In session ou Friday. In the houses resolution directing a court of inqurry for the trial of Admirals Godon and Davis for their conduct in South America, in reference to Minister Washburn, was passed. Resolutions were also adopted disapproving the conduct of Rear Admiral Charles IL Da vie, in delaying for an unreasonable time to proceed to the rescue of Bliss and Masterman, who were confined by order of President Lopez of Paraguay,in circumstances usdetailed in the testimony, and in receiving, holding, and treating them is prisoners, and declaring that 'Admiral Godon, In neglecting to sid Mr. Washburn in reaching the Paraguayan goy vernment to which he was accredited, failed to discharge his duty as commander of the South Atlantic squadron. The Committee on Public Lands was directed to inquire into the expediency of providing by law pat every °Meer, soldier, or sailor, who served ninety days in the war for the Union, and was hon orably discharged, shall receive one hundred and sixty acres of public land as a homestead ; his actual term of service to count as part of the live years required by the homestead act of 18132 Tns Legislature was organized at Harris. burg Tuesday. As the Democrats control the Senate and the Republicans the House, the organization is foreshadowed by the action of the nominating caucuses. The Democratic caucus nominees for the officers In the Senate were as follows : Speaker, William A. Wallace of Clearfield ; Chief Clerk, Jacob Zeigler of Butler ; Assistant Clerks, Timothy A. Sloan of Philadelphia and William P. Fury of Mauch Chunk ;* Sergeant at Arms, J. P. Colaban of Schuylkill. The Republicans of the House of Sepresentatiees nominated James H. Webb of Bradford for Speaker, Gee. James L. Sel fridge Of Bethlehem for Chief Clerk, John A. Small and Edward G. Lee for Assistant Clerks, and William J. Owens of Philadelphia for Sergeant at Arms. CONGRESSIONAI CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. The Constitutional Convention movement comes up early and prominently before the Legislature, as we have several times remark. ed would be the case. Speaker Wallace, of the Senate, in his introductory speech, alluded to the matter, and as soon as the organization of the Senate was completed, two bills for calling such a Convention were introduced, one by Senator Connell, of Philadelphla, and the other by Senator White, of Indiana. Sen ator Buckalew also introduced a resolution, which was adopted, providing for the appoint ment of a select special committee of seven, to consider the subject of Constitutional reform. Gov. Geary In his message referred to the Importance of Constitutional revision, and to the leading topics upon which he judged reform to be necessary at considerable length, as follows : Four yearif experience as an executive offi cer has given me abundant opportunity for careful observation upon the workings of our fundamental law, and the legislation of the State. This experience has strongly im pressed me that there should ho a thorough revision of the State Constitution, with such amendments as t he wisdom of a convention assembled for that purpose would undoubtedly suggest, and an enlightened public sentiment demand. • The authority fur holding such convention is found in the second section of the ninth article of the Constitution, and is declared in these words: "That ell power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety and happiness. For the advancement of these ends, they have, at all times, nn inalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abolish their government, in such manner as they may think proper." The last convention for this purpose was held in „1838. During the thirty-two years which have since elapsed, sundry amendments have been made by joint resolutions of the General Assembly, and, in compliance with the tenth article of the Constitution, were ap• proved and ratified by a mnjority of the qual ified voters of the State. The most Important were those of 1850, making the judges of the courts elective; of 1857, creating a Sinking Fund, regulating the public debt and legisla tive districts ; and of 1804/conferring the right of suffinge upon those engaged in the military service of the State or Nation, and imposing sundry restraints on the power of the Legisla. lure. These amendments, though important and valuable, give an incongruous and sort of patch-work character to the Constitution, and are not consonant with the requirements of the times. This is a progressive period, and our State has outgrown its fundamental law. That law should, therefore, be made to keep pace with the age in which we live. The existing Con stitution, including the amendments of 1857 andlBo4,imposes many wholesome restrictions on the power and jurisdiction of the Legisla ture ; but experience has demonstrated their inadequacy to protect the people against the evils intended to be remedied, and especially those of corporate power, and of special and local legislation. The pamphlet laws for the last four years sit f•sv that the general laws for each session made only about one hundred pages, whilst the local and special legislation for the same period amount annually to about thirteen hundred and fifty. The resulting evils are manifold and aggravated ; and prom inent among the reasons and suggestions why a remedy should be applied, I respectfully submit the following : First.—Different systems of laws of roads, bridges, schools, elections, poor-houses and many other things, are enacted for the seve• rul counties, townships and boroughs, on subjects which ought to be regulated by gen e eral laws, operating uniformly upon all. Second.—lt is impossible for the citizens, judges of the courts, or members of the legal profession, to acquire or retain an accurate knowledge of the varying•systerns of laws in I their respective districts ; and frequently on removal from one county to another, our pen ! pie find themselves under almost entirely dif ferent codeS. Third.—Practically, the whole theory of our Constitution and government is subverted and destroyed by the present system of local en actments. Representative government is based on the idea that the laws shall be framed by, and be the result of, the collective wisdom of the people's representatives. But what are the actual facts? The minds and ef forts °Rile members are so wholly absorbed by private and local bills that it is almost im possible to get a general or public act consid ered or passed. The special and local bills are usually drawn by the member represent. ing the locality, or by some one from the dis trict Interested in the proposed law. By what is called courtesy, it is considered n breach of etiquette for any member of the Senate or House to interfere with or oppose a merely private or local bill of any other member. The result is, the bills are passed as originally pre pared without examination or comparison of views,—often crude and ill-digested, and with out regard to constitutional requirements, or sound public policy. Some of the worst of these hasty and badly considered enactments are arrested every year by Executive interpo• sition ; but in the nature of the case, the veto at best only be made a partial restraint upon the evil; and nothing can eradicate it short of constitutional prohibition. Fourth.—Special legislation is the great and impure fountain of corruption, private specu lations and public wrongs. It has become a reproach to republican government, and is one of the most alarming evils of the times. Ju dicious amendments to the Constitution would arrest and destroy the growing eVil ; and it is the duty of every patriotic citizen to co-ope rate in all lawful measures to effect so desira ble a consummation. In the enactment of laws n radical change is ditmended. Every bill presented for adoption should be read, at least once in full, and the yeas and nays be recorded on its final passage. I'ok—it is important that the State Con stitution should he male to conform to tl.e Constitution of the United States as recently amended. Sixth. —The subject of minority representa tion is now much agitated, and Is receiving a large share of consideration among thoughttul and considerate men. It embraces problems of great political importance, and its manifest justice commends It to public favor. Whilst some of the objects it proposes might be ob. tained by legislative enactments, the general principles involved are so elementary and rad. teal, they should, if adopted, be incorporated. into the fundamental law. Seventh.—The members of the General As sembly should be Increased in number. Eighth. —There should be n fundamental limitation to the powers of corporations. Ninth.—There is absolute necessity for greater security for the public funds and for their proper distribution. Tenth. —The State Treasurer, Superinten dent of Common Schools, and of Lieutenant Governor, the latter to preside over the Senate, and perform the duties of Governor in case of his absence, sickness or death, should be elected by the people. The Attorney Geneinl, Secretary of State, and the. Adjutant General should, for obvious reasons, continue to be appointed by the Governor. Eleventh.—The day for holding the annual elections could,with great propriety, be chang ed from the second Tuesday In Getober to the same day In November on which nearly all the surrounding States now hold theirs. This would dispense with one election every fourth year, and prevent Invasion from other States for the purpose of interfering with our elec tions, as the citizens of each State would be occupied with their own. The season, too, would be more satisfactory to the people °Rile agricultural districts, as it would not interfere with the harvesting of their corn and other summer productions. The necessity for constitutional reform is appreciated and admitted by all who have re flected upon the subject, and without distinc tion of party, the press has been out-spoken, and has almost unanimously sanctioned the calling at an early day, of a constitutional convention. For these reasons, and many others equally important which might be enumerated, I earnestly recommend that the Legislature make provision for a convention to thoroughly revise and emend the Constitution of the State. Gov. HOFFMAN of New York recommends in his annual message that the new Capital Building at Albany be finitshedm a cheaper style than has been planned, or that work be suspended on it until the State debt is paid up. So far there has been about $1,250,000 expended upon it, and only the land and foundation have yet been paid for. The present debt of New York is $32,40,14.4, about a million more than our own State debt. Tug Legislature adjourned over from Tit un do}, until Tuesday, and not much business will be done until after this week. • The Speakers will appoint the Committee this week, and when the members know what special matters they will have to look after and attend to during the session we hope they will go promptly and energetically about their work. THE SUSPENSION To-morrow Is the day • fixed upon by the General penned of the Miners' Union for a general suspension of mining operations in the cord regions of Pennsylvania. From the information we gain from the Miners' Jour• nal and from conversation with individual operators, we judge that the order of the General Council will be pretty generally car ried into effect. The men employed by the three large Mining and,Trabsportation Com panies in Lucerne county—the Delaware, LackaWannn and Western, the Delaware and Hudson and tile Pennsylvania—have been idle since the first of December, and many of the mines In the Scranton and Wyoming regions worked by smaller companies and by individuals have also been quiet since the men employed by the large companies refused to work. The object of the suspension ordered I by the General Council is, therefore, to secure a cessation of work in the Lehigh end Schuyl. kill, regions and by cutting off the supplies of coal from those quarters to cause an advance In price which will enable work:in the mines about Scranton to be started again et rates of wages satisfactory to both the Companies and the men. The Companies say that they can not pay the wages they have been paying unless they can get higher prices for the coal: at New York, and the men say that they call not afford to work for what the Companies are willing to pay them. The large stocks of coal held by the Companies on. the Ist of December and the product of the other regions have so far prevented any material advance in prices, and the idea in ordering the suspension is to force prices up by cutting off the supplies. The universality of the smpemlan which will take place to-morrow and its darn lion are matters concerning which there is a diversity of opinion,hut from the best informa tion we can get we judge that nearly all the larger 'operations will be stopped, and we Judge also that the suspension will not be of very long duration. The men in the Schuyl. kill region are poorly prepared to suspend work, for they were idle all last spring noel summer, and have been working recently at • low wages. Most of them used up their surplus funds during the suspension last year, and they can have nothing to fall back upon now. Thousands of dollars were sent to Schuylkill from Lucerne every month that the suspen. sion of last year continued, but when n gene. rat suspension takes place the men of one region cannot send assistance to the men of another. The Companies in Lucerne will resume work ns soon as the condition of the market will allow, and it is well known that higher wages can be paid in Lucerne and Carbon counties than in Schuylkill, for the reason that it costs less to get the coal market from the Wyoming and Lehigh regions. The Schuylkill men will hardly care to remain idle after the men in the otheeregions have resum ed work, and we think therefore, that the suspension will only last n few weeks at the longest. We most earnestly hope that it will be quickly over, for the difference between the coal Miners of Pennsylvania being at work and resnaining idle is Very great. It is esti. mated that about thirty thousand miners and laborers in Lucerne county are now idle, land the loss to them by idleness is about $l, 500,000 per month. Let the mining opera• lions in the other regions be stopped as gene• rally ns In Lucerne, and the direct loss to the laboring mem of Pennsylvania will be about $1,000,000 per week, and every business and industrial interest in the'itate will suffer more or less directly and severely. MERV. is snore trouble about the final dis position of the picture of the Battle of Gettys• burg, which has been painted for the State by the Philadelphia artist, Hothermel. The pic• ture has for some time been on exhibition at Philadelphia, and sonic of the papers in the State have sharply criticised the fact that a picture -paid for out of the State Treasury should be exhibited in this way. It turns out. however, that by the terms of the agreement m de with the artist the painting was to be at his disposal until July 1871, when he was to turn it over to the State. if completed before that flute he w a s to have the right to exhibit It to the public, rind as artists, like other peo• pie, like to swell their cash receipts, Mr. Hothermel is exhibiting the, picture at Phila delphia to those who care to pity to see it. Gov. Geary is reported to have directed the Attorney General to apply for an injunction restraining Mr. Bothermel front making this exhibition. but the Attorney Gt neral informed him that there wits now no means of prevent ing Mr. Rotherinel from doing as he pleased with the painting until the time arrived for its delivery to the State. The question what shall be done with•tuis $21,000 painting is now before the Legislature, and is exciting eonsid. erable interest and attention. Gov. Geary in his message recommended the preparation of a place for it at Harrisburg, but Philadelphia and Pittsburg are both 1111Xi0113 to have it, and as there is no suitable place ready for the pic ture at Harrisburg It is quite likely that it will find a final lodgment in Philadelphia. CIIAIRLEH 11. SWLETSEIt, the found( r and one of the original proprietors of The Round Ta ble at New York, died a few dayS agoln Flo rida of consumption. Mr. Sweetser graduated at Amherst College in 1.862.,and his first news. paper experience was upon the Springfield Republican. Besides starting The Round Table he started the New York Evening Ga. zette, and the Evening Mull, and had he been as tenacious of purpose as he was fertile in conception and brilliant in execution he would have been one of the most prominent and in fluential Journalists in the country. Ills death at the early age of twcnty-nine is a sad one, and furnishes another evidence of the fatal wear and tear of active connection with news. papers. Mr. Sweetser's last.newsliaper con— nection was as literary editor of the Chicago Times. Tun iron masters in Western Pennsylvania met at Sharon last week to see about making arrangements for producing pig iron at less cost than at present. Most of the Furnaces in the Shentmgo and Mahoning 'Valleys were present, and the general sentiment of the meeting was that the producers of coal, lime stone and iron ore,and the railroad companies, must reduce their rates, to enable the maim. facture of iron to be continued without posi• five loss. Committee's were appointed to see what Could be done toward securing a coneys. cession of prices from the vat ions parties re ferred to above. WnETnEr. or not the Conferenco of Euro pean Powers will meet at London to consider the Black Sett question seems to be n matter of doubt. The refusal of Prance to send a representative unless the French Republic should be recognized has been alleged as the reason why the Conference did not meet at the time appointed last week, but it Is Intima ted now that England feels that the position which Russia has taken in the matter cannot In any way be changed or modified by any. thing the Conference may decide upon.

THE public debt statement for 3.tnuary shows a decrease in the debt of $2,210,700 during December. The total decrease since March of 1870 has been $100,203.097. These figures furnish the beat possible proof of the economy which characterizes the policy of the present Administration. Tnr. sent of Col.

TILE PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOLS The thirty-seventh annual report of the I Superintendent of Common Schools for Penn sylvania,lNlr. 'tames P. Wickersham, shows a gratifying growth and strength in our' system of popular instruction. There are now 2002 school district?, a gain of 21 ; 14,212 schools, a gain of 976; 2802 graded schools; 13,100 directors; 70 sup,rintendents, 171,612 tench er:,, an increase of 470 ; 828,891 pupils, a gain of 13,138. The average 'monthly . salaries of male teachers is $40.66; of female, $39.39; the average school term, 6.06 months, the average attendance, 533,911, equal to .68 per cent. Cost of tuition for year, $3.745,415 : cost of building, $2,763;641 ; total expendi tures, $7,771,761.20. The value of school property is estimated at 313,837,183. Of the school houses, 7437 are frame, 2233 brick, 1536 stone, and 291 are log ; 5441 are stated to have sufficient grounds, and 0892 to be well ventilated. Of the teachers, 723'8 are male, and 87d9 fe male, with an average age of 211 years ; one• fourth of these have taught less than one year, and 1862 had attended a State Normal School. The teachers'institutes are characterized as in valable for improving and encouraging teach ers. Last year 11,210 actual members attended their sessions ; these institutes were instructed by 556 lecturers and 2ilo essayists, costing $11.21.1. The Slate has five Normal Schools lo operation,located at Mittersville, Edinboro', Mansfield, Kutztown, and Illoomsbnrg ; these had, in 1869, GO professors and 2673 students. Pour more of these schools are organizing, viz., :it California (Washington county), West Chester, Shippensburg, and Lock Ilaven. The obstacles whieb yet impair the efficiency of these public schooli, and which require extirpation, are : Short school terms, irregular attendance, poorly -qualified teachers, indisposition to grade teachers' salaries accord ing to qualifications, want of local supervis ion of schools, 'leg:ruck of duty on the part of dircetorii, and want of interest in education on the part of the people. .
