Dear Sir:-Permit me TO expires

q brief summary of impOrtan
educational statistics for al
the States and Territories, from tn,
tables compiled in this Bureau 70

good one, as only by this means
while Congress limits the circulation
Of our reports, can the statistics
lab0riously collected at this cen
trail Office reach the vas
body of minor school Officer
and teachers, for whose benefit the,
should he spread abroad. 1t is 1,
be hoped that other superintendent
will follow the pattern thus pres
ented and thus enable all school OF
ticers and teachers in their severa
States or Territories to compar
their own statistics with those c
Others elsewhere.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

But when all that can be, is sal
Of our secular schools, the half Oul

Of education among our youth. Wit
Our Primary, Young Ladies an

mcrous other institutions where on
youth receive secular, religious
moral, scientific and literary instruC
ton, it IS easily seen that there are
in the midst of this community,
multiplicityof influences and pow
ers, all tending to the education, en-
lightenment and advancement {
our youth, and the combined result
of all these cannot but be the pre-
duction Of n race Of men and wome
who, added to the highest degrees

moral character that will cOmman

reputation for intelligence, hoT
