Those clergymen who object to

Supcrintendcnt's Report.

To he Presi'entd and Members cfNe Board
Of Education.
GENTLEMEN: 1 have the honor tC
present 10 you herewith, my fifth annual
report of Alrena public schools.
1t will he seen by this, that the total
enrolment during the past year, is great
er than for any previous year, and, so
far as | am able to learn, the percentage
enrolled is higher than for any previous
year, being nearly SO per cent. of the en-
! tire school population as shown by the
last census. Taking into the account
the number who attend the Catholic
school and other private schools, il
leaves but very small number not in
actual attendance during portion oil
| the year.
From the statistical report may be
gathered some interesting facts, among
which are the following:
The average number of days during
which each pupil has been in actual at
| tendance, is one hundred and ten and
four one hundfcdths, and the amount of
tuition paid for each scholar during
these D 1-2 months, was 1857, or for
each day, S 3-100 cents.
The average length oc time during
which schools are taught throughout
the State, is about 40 days; and the
average tuition, according TO the report
of the Superintendent, Is 1891 per
scholar. At the same ratio for 200 DAYS,
the number during which orr schools
continues, it would he 1914 for each
scholar or 43 cents less than it cost
here. The present basis of salaries for
al
from 43 cts more than the average To fully
S1.25 less than the average for the State.
Taking into the consideration the diff
ference between the cost OF living here
and the average cost also that most of
the country teachers board rOtnd, there
by making their real salary much great
CT than the nominal it would appear,
other things being equal, that the mat
ter of salaries ought now TO be quite
satisfactory.
The average number enrolled in each |
school during the year, was 20 70, and |
the average number belonging was |
IL ITO.
The number of pupils present each |
day was 81 1-2,. almost, for each 100 be-
longing; and the average Hardness was
about As of one for each hundred sChol-
ars.
In order to give you an idea of the
result of the last examination, and i'm
order to correct any false impression,
have compiled the following table which
shows the number OF questions answer
ed out of each one hundred proposed.
That u comparison may be Insulated, if
You so desire, have placed the schools
In regular order, placing that first which
passed the highest examination.

Wonderful Discovery.
BY CON G. QUENCE.

OF course wonderful discoveries
in this, age are by no means few
but | presume there has not been
one made very recently, where q
persons hopes arise so high as did
mine on the occasion which caused
this writing. / had purchased a
quantity of land in q certain vi
cinity, not far from watering
place. and never having set my
anxious eyes on the property, | one
day collected a number of friends
together and we set out with great
poinp and pride to explore my
newly purchased treasure. One of
our party being well used to travel
ing in the uninhabited woods, we
experienced but very little difficult
ty in finding the exact location,
when at once we proceeded to re-
conoiter.
1t was not long before we came
to the mouth of q cavern, I'm the
rocks which projected considerably
above tho water, and after some
conversation as TO the probable
length and breadth of the cave, we
decided that two OF the party
should enter the underground pas
sage, and, after exploring it to
their satisfaction, return and give
us an account of their travels in
the bowels Of the earth. We were
provided with long cord, so we
gave one end of this to the explor-
ers while we retained the other as
a guide TO them on their return.
The necessary preparations be-
ing made, they plunged into the
cave, and In an instant were lost to
sight, that Is, to mo. The string slip
ped through my hands at a rapid
rate, and / pictured in my mind a
mammoth cave with many small
caverns and chambers, lined no
doubt with precious stones or min
erals, and ] considered myself i'm
mensely rich. Still the cord kept
gliding into the darkness, until the
exploring party could stand the
pressure no longer aud my hopes
were forever blasted. They had
been only about twelve feet from
tho entrance Of the cave, % but
they had very dexterously drawn
in the string TO the length Of about
one hundred feet, thus deceiving
me. My hopes fell rather sudden
ly, aud | am now prepared to sell
that valuable property, to the right
man ehoap f,,.. s.o.l, 1.....

The above table is based on the various
reports of the last examination, all of
which are made ont on exactly the same
plan, and show the standing of each
scholar in all the schools in each study,
and also his average standing, the average
standing Of each class in each study, and
in all, and the average of each school in
all the studies. These are preserved from
term to term, and are, of course, found
exceedingly valuable for reference.
About five years ago a course Of study
was prepared for use in our schools, and
if was CORRECTLY informed, il was adopt
ed by the Board of Education. This
course of study embraced the various
branches that arc ordinarily pursued in
high schools, several of which have
been ostracized by resolution OF the
Board, aud forbidden 20 bc taught
This seems 10 have been done without
any rcfercnce TO any previous act. or
resolution of the Board, touching the
same question. Even chemistry has
been seriously threatened with Danish
ment by resolution, and doubts have
been expressed as 20 the constitutional
ity of teaching natural philosophy in
our schools. Even the last 100 pages of
arithmetic have been dehominatcd In
this room ornamental arithmetic aud
were set up rs target. | have been
asked here "if one scholar In hundred
would ever make any practical use of
this part OF arithmetic" You are aware
that nearly all OF this Is devoted to the
measurement or simple surfaces and
solids, such as timber, lumber, logs,
floors, walls, roofs, length of raficrs, and
braces, the contents OF cans, pals, els
terms; the measurements OF circles, trl-
angles, and lands lrregularly laid ont,
etc, and the principles ARE probably
used five times as much In actual prac-
tlcc rs those OF interest, discount, In
surancc, and assessment of taxes, all
put together Taking IL IN the light of
mental discipline, ON which nearly the
entire value of an education depends,
there Is probably no just ground for
alarm.
II would hardly need an extended ar
