School Ilouse.—First class, none; sec .,nd class, forty-three; third class, thirty; nine. Few new school ;tous l es have been erected in the county during thelear, the best of which, in all respects, is hi the Homer district; but this is defectiVo in one or two particulars, in the arrangement of the school room. The bllck-board is too small for couvenicoo?, and no prOvis ion made for a recitation seat in front M it. A convenient reel/WI/on seat is an item quite generally orerlouked by directors in school house arrangement, unless one W their uu.uber happens to be an experienc ed teacher, and wide awake to j the im provements of the day iu eauuloa school education. There are school houses in this county, recently built, furnished - with s'eats and desks for two pupils each, somewhat after' the modern style; but not a place w ~. class of eight or ten spholari can be m.t counnodated convenient t, the Lmli- Warn , or otherwise. ThiS detieleupy has a great infi,uence in preventing the slo.tee;s'ul elassilienzion of pupils , and is eye source' of much-contusion in the ..ohoei room and perplexity to the teacher. .school 4 rcliitects re.—.No school henses have yet been built, or thoroughly reolutl oiled, front plans contained, iu the Penn sylvania School Architecture.

Besides the regular drilling of re,;itation, ;laity instruction has he -n given - in the art of teaching.

Wita but few exceptions,' the entire body °fit:hither:: in the o ointy have been, at some time, connected . w.tdr this school, and front it they have usually to their respective &his of labor. During the pat year eighty-three (over one halt) of tie. teachers of the county have been members of this institution. It is, C.cre fere. intimately connected with the c Mon schoal system, and has exerted a de `cided influence in elevating the stand..rd ppu.ar -education. &Iwo, Visitatio ne patrons of the schools have aceumpanied me, in several instances. in my official visits, and :this , some have dune at the matinee of their own business for the time. being. gore riould have been . pleased to have attended and witnessed the examinations of the clasSes, could they have been notified of the time when the Superintendent Was to be present ; but to give a previous mitice of the time of visiting Schools would, gen erally be impracticable from the distance they are apart, and the frequently bad state of the roads: In very few instanee§ patrons have visited their schools - inde= pendent of Superintendent's or Directors: visits, but none perhaps worthy of distinct notice. Such visits are usually the result of effort on the 'Part of the. teachers, and are an indication of the interest theY are endeavoring to create in the minds of both parents and scholars, On the subject 'of education.

In these distriets lumbering is the chief occupation, but Within the- past year the interest of the people on the'subjoet of edacation has increased considerably, which'fact is evinced by the offer of more liberal .cmaipethation fur the sake of ob• taining go id tette:lens. : The . middle and northern purl-loos of the county are quite extensivoly settled, and agriculture being the principal employment, the people are last collecting artfund 'theof the comforts Ind- ennveniences• of life: Still a large .majority of the inhabitantS throughout the county have nut yet paid for their lands. Wealth, therefore, is not abun dant, an , l the Weans are not at command for cli'bing all that is' de:sit-able in the con - struction of school houses, and supplying theta with furniture and apparatus. The 'face n uf dm country is hilly and portions tif it somewhat mountainous; soil tics, and very fertile; and having .an intelligent, industrious and enterprising people" to improve it, time is only wanting to make it one.of the best sections of the Com monwealth. • PuVic: Sf;ithrient— General intelli gence. i§ u 'Prominent . eharacteristic of the inhabitants- Of this county. They • are mostly ., settlers from New York and the New England States, and have brought with them, and still retain, a love of knowledge and improvement. They are all in favor, therefore, of a "common se:tool system." Some May retain their prechketions fir the system under which they have Mrmerly worked ; but the ma jority arc convinced, and, the rest are wil ling to be, that thecuannon school sys tem of Pennsylvaniais equal to that of any of the sister Senates. When its oper ations are tp.d-rstood the system is gen ityaily' liked. The Met that nearly all the districts in the county are wiling to pay a tax of thirteen -mills on a dollar fur sch-ol ptirposes affordS a strung ev id.mee of tme: interest the people take in the cause of education, and tint they are worthy of credit for doing all they can. 'No opposition need to b.: looked fur in this seel 7ra,!/ , :es.—lt takes tine fur great and general improvements in public matters of any kind. Progi-ess, however, has been wade in the f.iiluwing - particulars : First. Teachers have felt more sensibly the nisponsibility of choir calliinr, out on ly as li-int:tors in ti seia.mis - but abio as exemplars of sound. mural and relig ious .principles This is' au important item to be gained ; as with it there will be an effort, in a , curresponding degree, faithfully to discharg,e'the 'duties devolv ing upon them. &road. • In previously maturing pia ',shy which to regulate their slaves and conduct the exercises and re• chat ions of the.schiliol room. • Many have entered' mum the business of teaching - Without ail definite iitsa what they imited to acCOmplish, or how they 'were to du, it; consequently, a large portion of the ter.n is spent beture anything is real ly done, if at all. A poor plan, is better than none ; because to secure' it, thinking 'is necessary ; ! tlie attention must be called to the subjetit, .and action prompted by those thoug:4s will, follow ' , though the plan tuay be. erroneous in some particu s lass, yet it will probably . it-i' corrected by experience and comparison with 'thatliif otatirS. - The imptovenients-made hi this respect, are the result.of more extensive reading, of educational -works, together witia lectures, as opportunity: has present ed.

They usually tied their money as. soon as it is earnyd,i- and' the fact that 04' cannot obtain it When due, is driving many of our best teachers front the profession. An improventent in the financial &part:neut of a number of the districts would be very bet - tea - dal. Greater facilities are also necessary for improvint , the qUaliticntionS•oftoacliers. One of the agencies tolwhieh we look at present for accomplishing this, is teach er's insti'utes. They `will he held here after, whatever it May cost; but-could the Legislature of our State think proper to encourage ns, by a'suiall appropriation to each county fur this purpose, it would be very gratifying to the friends of education. The want of a uniforin , school tax. throughout the State, and compensation to directors, are rtgarded as among the defectS of the present System.. Could they be remedied, still greater life and effectiveness would be giVen to the cause of education: . But these defects have been urged the attention of the School Department and the Legislature, by a Wrge number of the COunty Super. intendents, in former reports; there fore I leave them with this passing no. rice, hoping the time is not far distant when that attention will be given to them which the c.:use demands. - .
