HoS. c. 7. BATEMAN, Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, in his report of 1869.7O,
shows that 9 per cent of the children due
at school have failed to make any use of
public or private instruction. Not only this,
but of those who do appear, not more than
si1ty-fve out of every hundred are in regu-
lar attendance. He recommends law for
compulsory attendance, and considers this
necessary for the well being of the state and
the prosperity Of it's free institutions. He
deprecates the tendency which appears in
some quarters towards the adjustment Of
the Office of the County Superintendent
system, but recommends that conditions of
qualifications be imposed upon the candi
dates for that office.

STATE FAIR.-Those favoring the holding
of the state fair at this place were present
at the meeting of the Board of Trade last
evening and spoke in favor Oft, but did not
put their names down for anything like the
necessary amount to secure the Fair. A
committee was however appointed TO ask the
people Of the county to contribute the FIVE
or twenty thousand dollars necessary. This
the people of the county will hardly eready
to DO The money should come from those
who will be directly benefited by the fair
and probably will if it comes q. ell, of which
there is not the least doubt. There Is no
use lodging the question, we can hardly
afford to contribute 80 much money as long
as none of the profits of the fair ara to be
left with us; yet if those who want it are
willing 10 pay for it, ard their action at the
meeting last night don't seem to indicate
that way very strongly. none will complain
or object The same amount of money and
work that will have to be expended in securing
the State Fair would 90 long way towards
placing county society upon q permanent
and successful basis. If this be once accom-
pished it will be great benefit to the coun-
ty. 1t is the experience of ell places that
have had the state fair that they have not
been benefited thereby, while it is the exper-
fence ofthose places holding county fairs,
that they are greatly benefited and that the
fairs are invariable better than the state fair
Especially is this true OF the Davenport fair
and on DO condition could the people of
Davenport be induced to bid for the Iowa
State Fair. The State Society have made
several attempts to hold their fair there and
have received the invariable answer that the
county fair was the better of the two and
that whatever effort they had to expend
should 60 towards building up their home
institution. The present proud position
shows the wisdom of their action, and 20 it
should be.
