Total 1854

From these figures it will be seen that there
has been an increase in the actual attendance In
the public schools of 190 scholars in less than
one month. This actual attendance is only
about 90 per cent. of the number inrolled
making at least l, 16O to 200 scholars now en-
rolled. At the time of our last report there
were 81 scolarS in private schools and one hun
dred and seventy-One in the N echaDcsville free
school, making total attendance IN all the
Knoxville schools of /, All. Now, taking 1t for
granted that the other schools have increased
in the same ratio as the free schools, 1t would
increase the attendance at the private lnstItu-
tons of learning from gil to $40, and the Me
cbanicsville free school from 176 to 25l, total,
outside of the city schools of 1871, and grand
total of pupils receiving instructions now IN
Knoxville of 1850 We do not know these
figures, outside of the free schools to be correct,
but do believe them to be more than probable
from the glowing prospects under which the
session was commenced by them, This IS a
good showing for Knoxville, yet this number
can be considerably increased, particularly IN
the free schools, by a proper appreciation OF
their merits. and By our citizens putting their
shoulderto the wheel with a determination to
make them a success. These ,063 children In
the free schools are taught by 70 thoroughly
competent teachers, making an average OF %
scholars to each teacher New scholars are still
being enrolled every Friday evening and we
trust the number will soon be increased sut1N
GENTLY to warrant the engagement of ten more
teachers. We are glad that this system is lind
ing favor with the public, and arc sure 1t Is
building up an Immigration Society which Will
surpass any other in effectiveness
