Tery good. Teachers only middling, but anx

of nearly every teacher who is deficient ia the
branches to lu taught.
Clearfield Boro Two schools under one

Ilartman, both good. No. pupils, 122 ; aver

ally graded and well classified. One school
has 100 pupils. Principal teacher, Amos Hut
ton Assistant, Mr. Kinter, of Indiana. Pri
mary school has 46 pupils teacher, Thomas
Ross. I think the Curwensville schools will
compare well with any school of equal advan
tages in any other county. The pupils have
been taught to reason and think for them
selves, without being carried along, as is too
often the case have been thoroughly drilled
in all the branches from orthography up to al
gebra have made good progress in ail the
branches. No. reading 117, writing 95, arith

grammar 14, philosophy 1, 6 nearly through
Greenlcaf's arithmetic and 10 to fractions and

good ; 4 through Davies' Arithmetic and 20 to
fractions or interest and the cube root. Hou
ses can be made to servo the end for which
they were designed, but are is bad repair, bad
eats and tables and cold in the extreme. If
Pandora's box bad been searched, I doubt
whether a greater variety could have been
found, than were the books in ono school, viz:
nine authors on arithmetic and fourteen dif
ferent reading books. What sane man would
agree to teach such a school and give satisfac
tion J Some had no book? there was no
blackboard; yet, strange to tell! the pupils
did learn and made considerable progress.
The precedent is not worthy ol imitation, and
I trust will not be adopted elsewhere.

Kaktbacs has three schools, 105 scholars ;
xeadipg 49, writing 40, arithmetic 14, geogra

to irregular attendance ; some daya only or
6 pnpils attend out of 20. The citizens are in

curing good teachers in all the schools. Tho
greatest number of advanced scholars in ge

tre school, Miss H. Goodfellow ; 3d, in Arith.,
Wm. Bradley; 4th, Wm. T. Schryver. I be
liovo the teachers have all done well and given
an equivalent for value. received. The pupils
havo all made good progress, and hereafter
will require more good teachers of a higher
grade than any other district only 'give them
the. means and a chance and they will not lose
time. Two good new houses have been erect
ad in Lawrence tho past year, w hich are a cre
dit to the district.
Morris has 7 schools, 230 pupils; reading
125, writing 115, arithmetic 52, geography 18,
grammar 15 : best to fractions and rule of
three and interest. One house lias been de

teachers.

writing 210, arithmetic 93, geography 27,
grammar 16, some good in all the branches;
8 through Davie's or Rose's arithmetic, 20 to
fractions and rule of three, others beginning.
School directors aro of tho right mind, attend
to the schools well, and know how to appreci
ate education and the services of good teach
ers, who can learn the pupils more in one
term than a poor one can in three. -
Tess has 5 schools, only 4 open during the"
winter terra ; No. scholars, 200 ; reading 1 12,
writing 97, arithmetic 88, geography 2C, gram
mar 16, physiology one ; in ono school were
three colortd pupils, and three routes. The
directors aro efficient, energetic and deeply in
terested in the cause of education have been
fortunate in procuring good teachers. Ten
pupils have been through R oso or Davies' A
rithmetic, 30 to fractions and rule of three
some very good in writing, geography and
grammar. A new house in Pcnnvillo speaks
well for itself and citizens when finished will
be comfortable and convenient. .
fjjiiojr has 3 schools, 94 scholars; reading
44, writing 42, arithmetic 29, geography 12;
pupils not much advanced, go Irregular'on ac
count of distance and sickness in the district.
The people have discovered the difference du
ring the past year between good and poor teach
ers, tfnd some say they would prefer such or
such a teacher at $40 per month to some oth
ers at $10 per month. This discovery is not
in Union only, but in many other districts.
Woodward has 6 schools, 5 in session this
year; No. scholars, 130: rcsding 70, writing
