TEACHERS WAGES.

The impression prevails in some
parts of the county that the teachers
Of Kenosha county are better paid
than those Of any other county in the
State. The following table from the
State superintendent report gives
the average wages Of teachers in the
different counties, and shows how
much truth there is IN the assertion
that Kenosha county teachers are the
best paid Of any in the State:

81 sustaining hascho0ls would be still
further equalized.
! Il The schools would also be mucl
more uniform, and Of better average
i quality. At present, we find an excel
lent school, perhaps, in one district
and in the neXt poor one; chiefly
sometimes. because the people are poor
But the State cannot afford to tolerate
poor schools.
| Graded schools are generally out Of
the question, under the presentsy
Under town system, they could be
much more readily introduced. as in
crease of population, and the advance
Iment Of pupils might render it desira-
bic. A considerable number OF towns
could at once establish central school
Of higher grade, open to all pupils Of
sufficient advancement. This would,
in effect, grade the other schools
Some advantages, beyond those Of ele-
mentary instruction, would thus be
attainable, more especially III towns
embracing villages.
6. A course Of study could be much
more readily introduced, and made
uniform, if desired, for he county.
Z. Textbooks and apparatus could
be uniformly and and adequately sup
piled, aud at reasonable rates.
s. Teachers would be employed Tor
their fitness, and longer retained, and
would do far better work A superior
teacher would naturally be secured
for the central school Of highest grade.

rect methods of teaching, through all
the schools.
8. Supervision, now almost q nullity.
would be exercised by such head teach
er, or by the secretary Of the town
board; and the general care Of the
schools on the part OF the county SUI
perintendent, would be properly suppl
plemented.
TO- SChool-h0uses would be better,
and better located, the law providing |
as it does now, for the equalization Of
cost, for series Of years.
II. Town Libraries Wo Id naturally
and readily connect themselves witt

the public benefit.
IL. Statistics would be uniform, le

No human system is perfect. The |
school system hers advocated, opens
possibilities nevertheless which can
not be realized under the present one
except III rare cases. 1t would Gel
tainly render it practicable to make
the bulk Of the country schools muci
better than they now are; and the sys

law, without much longer delay. The

as an experiment. Though we'll de

THE ASSESSMENT ROLLS,

These Rolls are certainly singular
documents. A recent inspection Of
page or two Of the figures has conyinc
ed us that the old adage, Figures new
er lie ;, is itself an egregious lie. The
columns headed, 'Watches, No, value,
show that Dane county owns 1894
watches OF more than one-third of the
whole number of tue state, while Mil
Waukee county with twice the popula-
ton, has only 1896.
Manit0Woc county with a population
of nearly 10000 has 124, and WalWorth
with 10000 less population has 1922.
The $4,000 citizens Of Racine county
carry 322 time-keepers, while the 49,
900 Of Rock county have 1878.
The column Of values also reveals
some amazing facts CD. Thus the
1891 watches Of Dane county are val
ued at $4,000, or about $2.35 each,
while the Milwaukee watches average
over $3.50 each. Racine watches are
worth $35 each, and Rock county 1923
each.
The whole number in the state is
36,019, valued at $500,667, about $14
each.
Judging from these figures the aver
age assessor is more ornamental than
useful. Any three men Of average in
telligence might meet in Madison al d
with nothing to guide them but the
last census reports, do much better
guessing than the modern assessor.
A prominent jeweler of this city es-
Inmates the number of watches in Mil
waukee county to be $4,000 at least.
We have no doubt his estimate is low
enough, and that in the state at large
the ratio will hold good. Should that
be the case, the citizens of Wisconsin
do not carry less than 100000 watches,
which at the average valuation Of $l4,
would show total of $2,SOO,o0O.
Let the people watch the assessors,
and the assessors be careful to aoatch
| the people, Exchange.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1879-03-27

From this It appears that thirty
five counties pay their male teachers
and twenty-six counties pay their
female teachers better than Kenosha
county pays its teachers. The wages
of male teachers in this county is
1854 below the State average; while
the wages of female teachers is just
81 above the State average.
We shall have more to say Oh the
subject of wages in the near future.
