Education Ia Illinois.

The Biennial Report of the State Superinten-
dent of Common Schools in Illinois has the follow
ing results
The number of Common Schools in the 70 counties
returned 1907. Estimating for the 90 counties not
included in the above, the whole number of schools
is set down at 4,410. In GO counties there are
goal organized school districts, aud the same
number of school. houses. OF the latter, 1903
only are represented as in good repair. $40 are
og.houses, 927 frame, 1879 brick, and 81 stone.
In 90 counties, the number of children who at.
tended school the first year, was 1882. EST
mating for the 80 counties from which reports on
this subject were not made the whole numoer is
put down at l61, ISL, being but little over one
third of the whole number under 81 years of age.
There are los District Libraries in the counties
from which reports have been made.
There is great want of good teachers in the
schools of the State
The number Of acres embraced in the sixteenth
sections granted to the State for school purposes
is 97s,44s,s9. From the imperfect character Of
the returns Of School Commissioners, it is impOs
sibe to ascertain what amount OF these lands re-
mains unsOd Hitherto there has been no at.
tempt made to apply the College and University
fund, or the proceeds of the Seminary Lands to
the purposes for which they are specially design
ed 1t is suggested that the time has probably
arrived when some arrangement may be properly
made to carry out the intention of Congress, and
fulfil our own obligations by deyoting these funds
TO their legitimate objects.
