In regard the working Of the school laws of the State
spectully submit the following report:
The teachers any books in the public schools they
prefer Notwithstanding series OF books for the public
schools have been duly adopted In this county, the adopted
text books are hardly used in the schools
The Superintendent should be authorized compel the Of
the adopted text books.
No school should be entitled to first grade teacher unless
proportion ofhe scholars students in the first grade
branches; otherwise the teacher is paid for teaching the
grade branches he only teaching ad grade branches
that is, gets pay for doing what he does not
Only grade teacher should be employed in school,

on mills They should be allowed to levy of mills
The teachers say they conveniently attend Institutes
at the courthouse They have but Saturday attend them
and the distance great they attend to but little business
day and travel the courthouse and back home Sat

Perhaps Institutes in each supervisors beat would be
practicable and better attended.
S. With the commission allowed the collectors and
the treasurer much of the school funds paid such
commissions The school funds of this county about
Soooo and about 5000 collect it and pay This

with your request:
The law limiting the Board of Supervisors to tax oil

mills sufficient the schools They ought to be al

No school should be allowed first grade teacher unless
there was certain number Of scholars attending the school

In closing my annual report for the 1885, have but few
suggestions to make. summarize them briefly follows
Ist That existing school statutes be simpi6ed.
ad That scholastic age be changed read to- instead Of
to II, as now.
2d That the public school studies be specifically prescribed
and they be confined strictly to the primary studies
4th That scholars shall be allowed to leave home
ties without permit from County Superintendent Of county in
which they i've or rather that allowance Of pay will be al
lowed to scholars attending public schools outside their own
county unless be shown that they live three miles
from home county public school.

report private schools few may in places

ton them they do report In other respects the
report Of 1884 is believed to be full and accurate.
The framework OF public school system believed be
good yet susceptible Of Improvement Noticeable the follow
ing clear line Of distinction should be drawn between the
duties the County Superintendent and those Of the board Of
supervisors The board should have nothing do with the open

quired stated times make their estimates Of available
Sources and through their clerk report the the Supen

the schools Schools should be located by law regular fixed
points This would off perpetual dssensons to locations
The school fund should beby all means increased So far as
this the general appreciation Of the tax payers the
greater number peferrng for many that the poll tax
should be increased The opening and closing Of the term
should be absolutely fixed prevent frauds in sending children

In my judgments but few changes in the school laws are
necessary but these important.
al The pay Of teachers sections no, TT, 7IS These
sections are radically unjust Some teachers receive from $45
to s6s or $64 per month"; while others who better qualified
and render the State better service often receive less than $50
