REPORT
OfRoBERT S. REEDER, Esq, on the subject
of Education IN this State.

of ROBERT S. FEEDER, Esq, on the subject
of Education II. this State.
The Committee on Education, in obedl-
ence to the order of the House of Delegates,
passed January, 1916, Report:
That they have examined the subject of
education in this State as minutely as
broken and disjointed system will furnish
them the necessary information: 1t must
be manifest to all, that much time and labor
are requisite to ascertain the condition OF
education in this State. There is no head
or connecting chain to the system through
which information could be obtained, and
in order to ascertain at the present time,
with tolerable certainty, the extent and char
acter and sources of instruction, it would
be necessary to apply to the authorities of
the respective counties, cities and districts.
Our disordered system of instruction is the
result of numerous acts of the Legislature,
and hence grows difficulty of understand
ING its true condition. The committee pro-
pose to submit plan, which, it is believed,
will form an efficient and permanent instru-
ment by which the parts may be drawn to-
gether, and ultimately be brought within the
control of the Legislature, through the action
ola general law.
All the reports which have been received
from the several academies and colleges III

amined, and in them all, there is decIara-
