Synopsis of the Commissioners of Edu-

Synopsis of the Commissioned of Edu-
cations Annual Report.
H. B. Dawson, the Commissioner of
Education, has fled with the Secretary of the
Interior his annual report for the year ended
June 80. 1859. He says that from an analy-
sis of the statistics of public schools for the
decade of 1S76-'77 to 18S6lS7, it appears that
the growth Of the system, considering the
whole country, outstripped during that period
the growth of population, the excess OF the
increase of enrolment over the in
crease in population, six to fourteen
years of age, being 1.6 per cent. This gain,
the Commissioner says, is due entirely TO the
progress OF the public schools in the two
Southern sections, and more especially in the
South Central division. The sentiment In
favor of free schools supported by public
funds, he says, is becoming each year more
universally prevalent The public school sys-
TENS of the Southern States have been un-
dergoing an unprecedented development,
under laws adapted in each case to local cir
cumstances, and are now practically all es-
tablished on permanent basis. Colored chill
dren are apportioned an equal share of the
school funds, unless in the State of Delaware,
and their schools are kept open as long and
under as well paid teachers as those of the
white children. The funds for the supporto of
these schools are furnished mainly by the
white inhabitants
In the course of his remarks upon thepub-
lie schools in the principal cities, the Com
missioner says: ''In no department of city
school work is Improvement more manifest
than in the primary schools, and this for the
reason, perhaps, thac in them there was the
greatest room for improvement"
