From the foregoing statistics we find
that the number enrolled was 57per cent.
of the enumeration. If we add to the en-
rollment in the public schools the num-
Der enrolled in private and parochial
schools, which was not less than $40, we
find that 70 per cent. of the youth of legal
school age in the Canton Union School
district attended the various schools in
the city some time during the year. 1t
should be remembered, however, that
comparatively few above the age of l6
attend school, so that practically, the
youth between 6 and IS constitute the
school population. According to the
enumeration this number was 2,Sl9, and
the number of the same ages registered in
the public schools was 1884, or 20 per
cent. of the number enumerated. Esti-
mating that $50 of those who attended
private and parochial schools were under
16 years, and adding this number to 1884,

By the foregoing table it will be noticed
that the per cent. of school population en-
rolled in our public schools, is considera-
bly, aboYe the average of the places re-
ported. In per cent. of daily attendance
we are not quite up to the average, The
average cost of tuition in the cities named
is $l4 70; in Canton SI2 96, being 81 SO be-
low the average.
CONDITION OF THE SCHOOLS.
The discipline of the schools collective
ly considered during the year, was good.
In most departments the order was excel
lent. None of the teachers were indiffer-
ent to this first essential of good school,
though all could not be equally successful.
In some departments there was decided
improvement. While the discipline has
been firm it has not been severe. There
have been fewer cases of corporal pun
ishment than heretofore. OF the thirty
one departments in the schools, sixteen
did not have a single case of corporal
punishment, four had but one case each.
The largest reported from any one school
was fifteen, and the total number for the
year was siXty-two.
The Board of Education suspended one
pupil, and sent one to the Reform School
at Lancaster, Ohio.
The progress of the pupils has been in
the main, quite encouraging and satis>
factory. In several Of the Grammar
Grades quite number failed to attain
the average required for promotion. This
is partly owing to the fact that the stan
dard for promotion has been raised. The
failures were mostly in arithmetic. The
last week of vacation will be devoted to
re-examination; with this privilege and
the advantage afforded for preparation
during vacation, all whose interests de-

CONCLUSION

The schools are in good condition.
The teachers have labored faithfully and
energetically for the good of their pupils.
The schools have increased in numbers;
greater regularity and punctuality of at
tendance have been secured; the tuition
per pupil has been reduced without any
reduction of salaries or detriment to the
work; and there has been general i'm
provement in the discipline and work of
the schools. Larger experience will re-
veal still better ways for the future.
Intelligent effort on the part of all con-
nected with the administration Of the
schools, will secure their constant i'm
provement.
In conclusion, L express my gratitude
to the members of the Board of Educa-
ton for their encouragementand uniform
support, to the principals and teachers for
the hearty cooperation in all efforts to
advance the interests of the schools, and
to the citizens generally for the cordial
manner in which they have responded to
school requirements, and co-operated in
the maintenance ofschool regulations.

Russian government in San Francisco or

which it has reasonable ground to believe
is intended to cary on war against power
with which it is at peace, but until war
shall exist between any two nations there
can be no breach of neutrality ir permit

purpose.
