TEENS or sUypcR
We present . statement, showing
the length Of time which each teacher
In the CITY school has devoted 70 the
business:
Professor Ingraham 10 in his eighth
year.
Miss Anna Bean Is in her eighth year.
Mrs. H. l. Pearce il in her mxth year.
Mrs. u. g. Jones Is in her dfth year.
Mr.. b. L. Northup b in his fourth
year.
Miss Alice Coffman is in her second
year.
Mrs. F. E. Nickels is in her second
year.
Mrs. Viola Kenyon, Miss Ida vroo-
man, Miss Title Piper, Miss Katie s.
Cheas:y and Miss Mary Condor are ali
in their first yesr. OF these teachers,
Misses Piper. Cofman, Cheasty and
Condor are outgrowths Of the Seattle
public schools, having been pupils Of
Prof. Ineraham until, as he says, they
had completed the round of studies
taught in the district schools, when,
completing their education elsewhere,
they came back to teach where they had
been taught. These facts furnish a
high tribute to the efficiency of our
schools and the teacher whose works
have brought forth these good fruits.
COUNTY STATISTICS
statement relating to the county. There
are in King County, including Seattle,
81 school districts and 200 children
entitled to draw public money, Of whom
60 per cent. attend school. The number
of teachers now actually employed in
teaching in the county il 81. The sal
aries they receive range from $:5 per
month to $l00, the highest, Per month.
We may remark in passing. that as
times go and salaries of teachers range
elsewhere, this average il liberal one.
REVENUE AND RESOURCES.
In school matters, as in all mundane
affairs, money Is necessary to the suc-
cessful carrying ont of tho work neces-
sary TO be done. King County has re-
spOuded nobly in this direction. For
the fiscal years Of 1873 81 the school fund
tax of this county was mills on the
dollar, an exceptionally high rate, but
necessary 70 be levied in order 10 raise
the needed funds. II was the maximum
amount allowed by the law, bat levied
without protest and collected without q
grumble. The levy for the current ifs
cal year In 6 mills on the dollar, which
lower rate on account of the rapid in
crease in the value Of assessed property,
will yield larger revenue than the 5
mill levy. Enough will be realized to
secure ten months course in the
schools Of this city.
MATERIAL REDUCTION
In the levy may be expected as soon as
the Territory assumes the tOga of q
State. The federal laud grant of the
18th and 18th section in each township,
when il becomes available, will tend to
this result. It is to be hoped that this
munificent provision for educational
purposes will be guarded with jealous
care.

located on the block bounded by Sixth
and Seventh, Marion and Madison
streets. The location and s'zs of the
