LANCASTER CIV. T9 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY "a. 1914.

WESTERN CoMMERCE.-We haZ-
arded the assertion a short time since,
that the number of steamboats, engaged
in western commerce could not fall far
short of six hundred. Since that time
we have met with an estimate in the
Cincinnati Chronicle, which convin-
ces US that, if we erredin our calcula-
ton, it was in placing the number be-
loO what it really is. From this esti-
mate, it appears that the whole steam
boat tonnage of the United States, a.
mounted, on the first day of October,
ls42, to 2l9,oS5 tous; les, 1000 tons Of
which belonged 70 the waters of the
Mississippi Valley. Now, if we al
low the average tonnage of Western
Steamers to be 900 tons we shall have
an aggregate of 625 steamers on the
Mississippi, and its tributaries, alone.
The number built on these waters, in
lS42, was ZOE; and the number built
last year was probably equally as great;
so that, at this time. there must be at
least 700 steamers engaged in this por-
ton Of the Wertern Commerce, embra-
cling a tonnage Of 100000 tons; which
is greater by $1,000 tons than that Of
England, Scotland, Ireland, and the
British dependencies! In this esti-
mate, of course, is excluded from con-
sideralion, the steamboat tonnage Of the
northern and southern lakes. To add
this, would be to show that more than
two-t thirds Of all such tonnage Of the U.
States, belong TO the Western waters,
and to States. having representation
in the popular branch Of Congress Of
one hundred and forty members.
When we consider there facts, it
seems indeed wonderful that, whilst
every little inlet, or harbor, Of the East,
however unimportant, is receiving the
attention Of Congress, the improve
ment of Western Navigation is either
entirely overlooked, or but very par
tally considered.
In this connection, we would direct
attention 10 the fact that ameeting will
be held at the Court House, on Thurs
day Evening, the s,h inst, at 7 O'Clock,
to receive the Report Of the Commit
tee, appointed at former meeting

CONDITION OF SCHOOL HOUSES.


From the annual Report ofthe Su-
peyintendant Of Common Schools
IN The State Of NeW York.
The whole number Of school houses
visited and inspected by the county
superintendent dnring the year was
,36S; Of which 1865 were Of framed
wood, 446 Of brick; 523 Of stone; and
TOT Of logs. OF these, 3,l6o were
found in good repair; $3.50 in ordina-
ry and comfortable repair, 8, 3l9 in bad
repair or totally unfit for school purpo-
SEES. The number furnished with more
than one room was 544, leaving S,796
with one room only. The number fur
nished with suitable play grounds is
,442; the number not SO furnished T.
3l3. The number furnished with a
single privy, is $40; those with priv
les containing separate apartments for
male and female pupils, 1915; while
the numbr Of those not furnished with
any prrivy whatever is 6,423. The
number suitably furnished with conven-
lent seats, desks, &c. is reported at s.
972. The number furnished with
proper facilities for ventilation is stated
at l,5lS; while the number not provi-
ded with these essential requisites Of
health and comfort is 1859. No sub
iect connected with the interests OF ele-
mentary instruction affords source OF
such Notifying and humiiating refec-
tons as that of the coalition Of large
portion of the school houses, as presen-
led in the above Enumeration. One
third only Of the whole number visited,
were found in good repair; another
third in ordinary and comfortable con-
dltion only in this respect, in other
words barely sufficient for the conven-
ience and accommodation of the teach
ers and pupils; while the remainder,
consisting Of $3.50 were toatlly unit
for the reception of man or beast.
But 544 out of $500 houses visited
contained more than one room; 1913
were destitute of any play ground;
nearly six thousand were unfinished
with convenient seats and desks; near
ly eight thousand destitute OF the prop
or facilities for ventilation; and up
wards OF six thousand without privy
Of any sort; while of the remainder
but about one thousand were provided
with privies containing different apart
men,s for male and female pupiIs!-
And it is in these miserable abodes OF
accumulated dirt and filth, deprived OF
wholesome air, or exposed without ade-
quale protection 10 the assaults OF the
elements, with no facilities for necesss-
~ exercise or relaxation, no conven.-
