EDUCATIONAL. - The Superintendent of
Public instruction has issued a circular to
the County School Commissioners, from
which we take the following:
"The Superintendent respectfully presents
to your consideration the following rules to
be observed in making out your next annual
reports to this department, of the condition
of Common Schools in your county.
"The forms ofreturns heretofore prescribed
by the Board of Education for the use of
School Commissioners and Trustees are, in
every respect, TO be complied with.
1.-THE law provides that the school year
shall end on the 3lst day of December. I'M
mediately afterward, in every year, the Trus-
tees of each School District shall report to
the County Commissioners, the oaths of two
Trustees being required to each report. Said
reports must be, by said Trustees, placed in
the hands of the Commissioners before the
10th of January in each year.
"The County Commissioners shall, before
the 18th Of January in each year, prepare
and mail their annual reports to the Super
intendent; and must cause them to be placed
in his hands befene the 18th of February.
Very great inconvenience, as well as a ne
cessity for relief in many cases by special
