From the report of the superintendent Of

agency of county supervision has worked
admirably well, to the great satisfaction of

added twenty five per cent. to the efficiency of
the teaching force, and through improved
methods of instruction, better classification
in the school-room and an awakened interest
on the part of school officers and parents, in
creasing very perceptbly the aggregate of
results in the school-room. We notice that
in some papers the cost of county supervision
has been placed as high as $50, 900 to SIS 600
annually. This is great mistake. The en-
tire expense for 1870 does not exceed $3.50
