HARRISHURG, NOV. 18. —The an nual report of the Superintendent of Publio Instruction is now in the bands of the state printer. Advance sheets have been furnished the press which contain the principal portions of the report. Dr. SchacfTcr refers to the operation of the free text book law and says it has been the most important step of progress since 18G7. He says one of the im mediate effects was a large increase in the attendance ; in some districts from twenty to thirty percent. The superintendents almost without ex ception, give favorable reports con cerning the practical workings of the law. In but one county did the new act cause directors to shorten the school term and reduce the teachers' wages. Dr. Schaefler declares there is no justification for the short-sight ed policy in view of the fact that the Legislature added half a million to the annual appropriation. The report states that in spite of the magnificent appropriation and her marvellous wealth, Penns3'lvania docs not give her children school facilities equal to those of adjacent states. More conditions, the Super intendent thinks, should be attached to the distribution of the state ap propriation. He is also of the opinion that some method should be adopted for ascertaining how many children of school age are out of school and suggests the appointment of truant officers in the various dis tricts. Manual training in the schools is recommended and refer ence is made to the improved school architecture. An extension of the high school system to the township districts is recommended ; as is also a law authorizing Directors to use a portion of the annual appropriation for the purpose of establishing and maintaining school libraries. Train ing the children to citizenship and instilling into them a love of country is urged by Dr Schaeffer, who coin mends the patriotic orders for caus ing the stars and stripes to be dis played on school buildings. lie says, howeTer, that the girls and boys should be taught what the flag stands for. Great care is urged in the sel - ection of teachers and also in the election of School Directors. One of the dangers to the school system upon which the report dwells is the ptrils of sectarianism. He says,"it is clearly not the function of the public schools to give sectarian instruction. The genius of our state and national constitutions demands in all schools supported by taxation the separation of secular from secta l rian instructions." He adds that "the policy which eome Boards ac cused of tactilty adopting, nameh*, to employ only teacheis of their own religious faith or political party or Becret society, cannot be too strongly condemned." The statistical summary shows the number of school districts in the State to be 2,113 ; number o! schools 24,541 ; number of graded schools 12,869; uumber of superintendents, 129 ; number of male teachers. 8,4G4; number of female teachers 17,777 ; whole number of teacheis 26,241; average salaries of male teachers pel month (44.16 ; average salaiies of female teachers per month $33.05 ; average length of school term in months, 8; number of pupils 1,040,- 679 ; average number of pupils 759,» 560 ; cost of school houses, purchase ing buildings, renting etc., $3,396,- 818.13 j teachers wages $8,998,343.66 cost of the school text books $1,245,- 375.73 i cost of school supplies other than text books, including maps, globes, etc., not including Philadel phia, 1559,238.42; fuel, contingen cies, fees of collectors and all oilier expenses, $1,386,975.39; total ex penditures $18,586,751.33; state ap propriation for school year ending June 1893, $15,000,000; estimate value ofschool property not includ ing Philadelphia, $42,679,504. A comparison with the previous year shows an increa&e of 27 districts. 529 schools, 565 graded schools, 36,272 pupils and $529,906.78 in wages to teachers. DA VIDSON ITEMS.
