Upon this subject The State Superiutend-

MIR. c. r. CoBuRN. ia his report OF 1865
makes the following pertinent remarks:
"There is no other one cause that 20
completely nenlralizes The exerIions OF
teachers and school officers as the Irregular

seen by reference TO The statistical tables
for the several counties, tha. this evil. al
though alarming as it has hitherto been, is
increasing, and that the attendance in the
whole State is but 62s per cenium, and in
some counties ever below. The evils OF
such course cannot be estimated.
OF The 629, ,5s7 children that had their
names entered on the teachers rolls 10 our
public schools during the year, The average
attendance has been only 396 7Ol. Some
have atle nded but lew days, some but a

for what! "To add Forty Thousand men 10

ously mistaken. We shall at most have bur
