EDITORIAL. STATE SUPERINTENDENT'S RE PORT. In hia annual report the State Bapnrinilont of public schools Uonls largely with the need of export Supervision and Superintendents in the public schools. He says that in passing from the primary school through the different grades to the high school the pupils got a new tjachor every two or throe yearB, and thnt a careful supervision is necessary lest the brighter minds lo-te valuable time through lack of adjustment in the courses of study and a failure of theteachors to work toward a common end . Eight years are required for elomontary and grammar schools, four in the high, four for college and throe or four for the professional, so that a youth sponds about nineteen years in pre paratory study. This is several years more than is customary in Gormany France and England. He says no one will claim that the results ob tained here are more thorough than in those countries, and the question is where is the time lost? ' Experts are needed to supervise the work of instruction. The prevalent idea has boon that our school systom was nearly perfect, but the cpnsus of 1890 and the statistics subsequently published shoWed that among the States of the Union Pennsylvania ranks eighth in the average length of the school term, twenty seventh in percentage of illiteracy, twenty fifth in the average Balary paid to male teachors, twenty seventh to fouialo, and twenty seventh in the number of students at college out of each hundred thousand of popula tion. The above figures show a lamentable failure on the part of our school systom to produce the results which the largo outlay of money should produce. We spend nearly $20,000,000 on 1,088,788 pupils, and with this vast sum we stand low in the list of States, and they include those which have not been looked on as at all progressive in an educa tional view. The faults are the short school year tho poorly paid teachors the want of high schools, the defi cient ooursos, ana the willingness to accept for teachers a training and ability far below those required in other states and countries. All this Dr. Schaeffor says arises from a want of efficient superintendence. There is need of a change. The state should make education efficient by general examinations, and teach ers not properly qualified should nit be employed. It is nonsense to say that they are the best the money will afford, better not spend the money than do worse than waste It b jeopardizing the morals, man ners and time of the children. Dr. Schaoffer commends the com pulsory education law and shows that under its operation illiteracy would decrease. He also remarks on the unequal distribution of the annual school appropriation, and says that the present method dis criminates against the districts which lack industries to hold their adult population, and operates in favor of those districts toward which tho young people gravitate as soon as thoir school days are ended Ho says the question of equal dis tribution, is one hard to solve be cause the city members of the legis lature point out that in many town ships in the Ountry they do not raise as much by taxation for schools as they receive from the state, and the country member retorts by say ing fhat the city spends too In noli money by endeavoring to run a high school on a college basis. Many school libraries have been established, and he commends the system of county institutes. , There are about twice as many female teachers in the state as males. The total number of both is f 8,764. The average salary paid to males is 44.78 and to fomalos $38.28. The rejiort is energetic in tone and wisely asks if the praises of our school system have not lulled us to sloop? It is refreshing to read a report which fearlessly goes at the root of the matter, and that seems to be in our school system, an absolute need of more careful supervision. THE POPULAR AND ELECTOR 1AL VOTE. Nearly complete retntrns show an immense popular vote and a largo plurality and majority for McKinley. The total vote for hinj is 7,065,410 and for Bryan, 6,339,962.

This new industry is hailed by the farmers as one which will greatly benefit that section. A pro cess is discovered also which rend ers the refuse a good and cheap feed for cattle. DON'T KILL THE BIRDS. 'At the recent session of the Far mers' Institute the question, "how to rid land of whit? grubs," seemod to evoke general interest, and to fail of a satisfactory answer. Fall plowing was, suggested as ea aid, salt was spoken of( but the opinion was that birds 'were the most effective remedy. Ope speaker related an experience, and said a large pine tree stood near a pioco of hia land inflated with tho grabs and he noticed a number of black-birds making regular trips from the tree to the land, and on investigation discovered tliat the birds were after the worms which had been turned np by plowing. He found seventy birds nests in one tree. He said ne never auowea a crow or a black bird to be killed ' on his premises, and considered them the greatest benefactors the farm ers have in destroying the worm post. ThU Is but a repetition of an oft told tale yet one not sufficiently heeded. What possiblo ol-ject there can be in killing the birds no one can understand, and ye fanners and furmera' boys seem to delight in doing so. There appears to "be a wantonness about it, when, if they would pause a moment, they would soe that thoy were inflicting a sev ere injury on themselves. The robins may carry off a few cherries and strawberries, but it is only for a few days and the remainder of the season they are working for you and doing work you cannot hire a man or boy to do. Protect the birds-, let them build their nests on your premises, and soe thoy are not dis turbed. Encourage their increase, It will pay in more ways than one. ' .Pennsylvania cast 19,374 prohibi tion votes, about twice as many as any other state, Illinois is next with 9.796, Maine only had 1.G71. Had it boon known that ' Ooneral Weyler " would be present, even by proxy, in one of owr churchos last Sunday morning the attendance no doubt would have been much larger. It is always safe to go to church. There is no knowing whot may be missed by remaining awny. Look not mournfully into tho past It comes not bnck again ; Wisely improve the present, it is thine ; Oo forth to meet the shadowy fu ture Without fear and with a monly ' lioart. Longfollow.
