Schools of the State.

The annual report Of he State Board of
Education has been submitted to the Gov
ernor by Professor NJ. A. Newell, secretary
of the board. He reports 121 schools in
Baltimore city and 1887 in the counties
making 2,05S in the State This is an
increase of 10. There are 159,945 pupils
attending these schools in the State-an
increase of 1896 These schools have
2,197 teachers, who are paid 81, 1876, $3.50
in salaries. The totai expenses of the
schools for the year were 1851 sos 67.-
The secretary says that there are num-
Der of schools in the State in which The
teachers receive a salary less than $500 a
year. Of course, he further says, only in
ferior teachers can De secured at such a
price. The suggestion is made that--.n
should be made by each
teacher of the children of school going
age in his district, with a view to obtain
ing their attendance at school by invita-
ton 1t should be the aim of the county
school boards to limit the number of the
schools to The .pggeelli2p assigned by law
-one school To- eiElfstrict of four miles
square, and-by paying liberal salaries and
erecting icomfortable houses, to have a
small number of good schools rather han
a large number of Indifferent ones. A
uniform school curriculum and well con
Quoted examinations are advised. Fault
is found with many Of the school books
in use. The report then speaks under
different heads of the examination of the
Ieachers, the visitation of schools by the
county examiners, teachers institutes, etc.
The secretary states that the board is of
opinion that for "missed lessons" the rod
IS not the proper remedy, and hereafter
the board will not sus ain teacher who
resorts to it for such purpose.
