Vermont School Report.

State Superintendent DARTS report
of the standing of the schools of Yer
mont for the two years ending March
81, 1886, shows that the whole num-
Der of scholars enrolled in the public
schools in 1886 was II, 667-the aver
age daily attendance being 46,625.
The whole number of schools the past
year was 2,557; the whole number of
different teachers, 4,328, of which 531
were male and 3,797 female. Of
these 534 had received some training
in the normal schools, and 407 were
normal school graduates. The aver
age weekly wages of male teachers
was $3.50; of female teachers, $3.50.
There are forty-two graded schools in
the state. The total income for
school purposes, including taxes, in
1884-5 was s605, 232.12; in 1856,
1921 ,370.29. The total amount ex-
pended, not including cost of super
vision, in 1884-5 was $500, 502.5 !;
in 1856, S598, 1887; an average
of 1886 for each scholar the first
year, and $500 the second year. In
the last two years sixteen towns voted
to adopt the town system, and one
voted to return to the district system
after using the town system five years.
The town of Norton has organized
and started with the town system.
Seventeen towns had adopted it prior
to 1884, making in all thirty-four
towns that have made the change
from the district system. Superin-
tendent Dartt suggests that provision
be made for an annual school census
that the laws for compulsory educa-
ton be so revised as to make it the
duty of some designated officer in
each town to see that they are strict
ly enforced; that towns furnish free
text books; that all legal holidays
and E'Arbor Day" be made school
holidays; that town superintendent
be paid by the state treasurer on the
order of the state auditor; and that
the town system of schools be adopted
by the state, and that all public
schools of whatever grade be included
under its provisions.
