the condition of the schools- during the
past yosr, are nut remarkably different
fram those of preceding years, since the
• -
Tresent system has been in operation.--;--
hat decided improvement has been the
result of the system, is now frankly a&
witted by many who were-at first inclined
to oppose it. Its 'beneficial effects have
been felt in the agitotiou which it has oc
ciisioned upon the subject of education,
as well as in these things more directly
cififtemplated by the law. .Agitation is
more favorable to improvement than stag
nation, even if it sometimes assume the
offi 'of opposition.
l4ritations.—During the year for which
fltia rppurt is Made, all the schools of clip
;minty Mace been visited once, and 9, mo
jerity of them twice. Each spriqg and
"411 also,. examinations have been he'd in

schools are situated within two, three, or
fohr miles of each other, but the-majori
ty are much farther apart; some, eight;
eon or .twenty miles, and' ineneinstanee
twenty:three miles travel is required to
visit one Eahool Fonly, of 'about fifteen
scholars,. These' schools are. _situated in
the southern portion of the county, which
is yet prinuipailY covered with forests. In
order - to visit the j sehoels in 'these remote
districts, ins' visits in the more populous j
portions of the county have been neves.
sariiy less 'frequent than they otherwise
would have . beerk
bn mocc.mtc/its.'—i find a marked' im
provement in the - inetkod of teaching --
Instead of the dry and formal method of
mere questions and answers, 'as found in
iext-bo*, oral instruction in conhection
with that furnishediu books is given, and.
illustrations used, which tend to make a
practical applieation of the principles of
science," and thereby to create an interest
i for them in the Mind of the pupil. By
these 'means, orthography in many schools
has been divested of its usual dryness,
and rendered a matter of interest and
pleasure, Jto the younger, as well -as the
older geholars.
Mental arithmetio also is receiving more
attention, and is more systematically
taught than heretofore. lii Mite a num
-144 of the schools which I visited last
winter, every pupil was engaged in the
study of this important elementary branch
of education, whichi, when properly taught,
never fails to awaken an interest and ef
feet a healthy discipline of the mind
This has' been the result of instruction
r.
given at the academy in- Coudersport,',
where a‘ large majority of the teachers,
principally receive heir education, pre-'
paratory to the business of teaching; also''
of the idstitutes and associations held in
the county, ,and suggestions made at the
examinations.
Institutes,—A county institute was
called in the month of November last to
continue five days. Sixty teacherswere
in attendance. At the close of the in-,
stitute, the "Potter County teachers' as-i
sociation'' was organized. It has held
two regular Meetings, of two days each,
within'the school year, which were large
ly attended by teachers and friends of cd
ucati.m.
Directors and Director's Visds.
Throughout the county, directors have
. gentallv been very cordial in their on
operation to promote the interests com
mon schools.. Some have taken wore
pains than others to procure first class
teachers; is which Hebron and Sharon
districts have been the most successful.
and their schools have generally .present
ed better indications of correct discipline
and.advancement.
The directors of Homer have been the
first to establish and sustain a .distriet us
sociation . for the improvement of teach,-
ers, and the' promotion of interest in edu
cational matters ; and the sahools of this
district have made a good advancement.
They have also visited their schools more
sir less regularly. But the case most wor
' thy of notice, in this 'respect, is that of
the secretary of Harrison district; who
h visited all the 'schools, and. most of
t h em monthly, without any compensation,
as this district, like all others of the coun
ty, esePpt Hebron, have made no inofe
:tient: towards adopting the district super
intendency. In tither districts directors'
visits have been only occasional, and in
some none at all.
NONO
.
An Evil to be neme(ll44.—Among a
few evils that might be mentioned opera
ting against the interests of -education,
one stands out promineetly, viz:.The
distriets,lnvith a few exceptions, are sadly
in debt, so that teaaheri who have earned
l
their wages and received th'eir orders, are I
obliged to, wait a lung time fur the money,
or sell' them at a discount of. fifteen to
twenty-five' per cent.. The cause of this
is bad management, and looseness in do
ing business. Secretaries books are oft
en kept in such a manner that it is im
possible to tell by them what ' business
has been dune; duplicates of school - taxes
have frequently been put - into the hands
of collectors 'without requiring any bonds ; ;
treasurer's accounts, of long standino., re
main unsettled, and in various ways the
.object iii view is not accomplished. The;
result of this is, that - many of the best
teachers are leaving the profession, or {to-'
ing to other localities, and their places,
have to be supplied with others who are'
inexperienced and but partially qualified.
It has also been the-chief source of what
ever prejudice may exist in the tuinds of
Some respecting the common school sys- .
tern. It is, gratifying. however, to know
that'directors are becoming aware of the
Magnitude of this evil and its results, and
are laboring with energy to right up mat
ters, gin) bring about a healthy and WU.
1 cier i tstate of affairs., The evil is not one
of recent origin, but its effects are severe
ly felt at the present time.
1 Cone/us/n/I.—On the Whole, we can
safely say, _ that the- friends of education
iii, this county have no reason to be dis
eouraged. The citizens of the County,
generally, are a reading people, anxious
1
to do what they, can for the improvement
,pf the path, who arc soonto take their
places upon the stage Of active life. There
!are obstacles to be overcome, but in spite
iof those obstacles advancement has been
made in the condition of our schools, and
a few years more will add very much to
our facilities for:further itoprovouteut.
