ferson County.
With my annual report l transmit the
following condensed special report:
Since my last report have visited one
hundred and nineteen schools, making 232
visits, occupying my time for 153 days.
Many school Districts maintaining school
only during the winter term, renders it i'm
possible to visit all during the year, al
though have been able to make more vis-
its than there are schools in the county.
The work in the various schools has not
been as satisfactory and complete during
the past year as had reason to expect. ow-'
ing to the prevalence of various contagious
diseases, causing very irregular attend
auce and in many instances entirely break
ing up the school.

son. Number of teachers in attendance

Time occupied at Institute and examina-

Office work, consisting of preparing ques-
tions for examinations, reading and mark
ing the written work of the applicants,
(Which during the last year has amounted
to over 5000 pages OF manuscript Making
reports and correspondence have very fully
occupied the time during the year.
Five school houses have been completed
during the year, and eight others have been
thoroughly repaired and reseated. An in
creased interest in school work has beeu
evinced by an increased demand for teach
ers of better qualifications, and longer terms
of school, also by better attendance. for al
though the number of children drawing
public money has decreased, the attendance
has increased nearly six per cent
