"The expense of maintaining the asylum will of course
depend upon the number of inmates. With an average of
forty inmates we think the cost would not exceed the rate
of seven dollars per week, per capita, and with increasing
lessened."
LIBRARIAN.
The territorial librarian reports the number of books,
maps and charts IN the library at 11,109, exclusive of the
public documents, laws and Supreme Court reports of the
territory, being an increase during the two years of 800
volumes. The laws, Supreme Court reports and public doc
uments of the territory, number between eight and nine
thousand volumes. The insurance on this property is S12,-
600. The present library building has been rented to
March 81, 1888, at 500 per month.
There have been sold of the compiled laws of 1876
seventythree copies.
Six hundred and tfty-three copies of the revised stat
utes have been issued to the counties and fortY-nine copies
have been sold. Attention is invited to the recommends
tons OF the auditor touching this office, and that of
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES,
the same office being held by the librarian.
EDUCATIONAL.
The public schools of the territory arc prosperous in a
very high degree, and the sentiment seems to prevail among
the people, and with the various school boards, to obtain
the best schools possible for the means Mt their dismissal
and they are willing to tax themselves to the utmost limit
to obtain this object. The practice of frequent changes of
teachers, becomes less popular every wear. There have
been issued nineteen honorary certificates up to date, and
eleven of these were issued in 1887. These certificates are
issued to those who have taught in the public schools five
consecutive years. The returns from the county superin-
tendcnts for the year ending October 81, 1887, show:
School 1874
schools 1877
Pupils enrolled s. 1884
Teachers employed '231
Male teachers. 50
Female teachers. 40
The territorial superintendent recommends the publ
cation OF the school laws In a cheap form for the accommo-
dation of school officers, and to be used in his office for ex-
change with state and territorial school officers. The
school laws as a whole are good, but certain amendments
suggested by county superintendent, are considered neces-
sary, and will be found attached to the report herewith sub
mitted. Your attention is called to the suggestions of the
auditor respecting the consolidation of the three funds I'M
der the control of the librarian.
