The Nineteenth Annual Report Of the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction was re-
ceiVed from the printers yesterday. 1t con-
tains 2o3 pages, of which ninety two are taken
up by Mr. Burt's report proper, which contains
some valuable and suggestive information, and
bears the impress of much labor and research
The seven pages devoted to the reports of

extent how inadquately these functionaries
perform their duties; there are one or two
county reports, however, which are praiseworthy
exceptions to the general rule. The normal
schools occupy twenty-eight pages and twenty
one pages are given to private venture schools.
