The statistics relating to free high
schools were sent directly to the State
Department this year. and since
they did not pass through this office.
they cannot be accurately given in this
connection. There are now in the
county eleven schools of this class, the
last to organize being the one in Platte
vile. We may soon hope to find Patch
Grove and Cuba City coming into the
list. When they are in, it will about
close the high school possibilities of this
county for some time. Eight of these
high schools graduated classes last
June ranging in numbers from two to
nine members. The work thst these
high schools arc doing canno. be too
highly praised Their principals are
usually graduates from the Normal
schools or from universities. and since
nearly all our teachers in our country
schools come from under the instrue-
ton of these principals. they are better
prepared through their education, en-
thusiasm, and methods Of teaching, to
do good work. That the influence of
these high schools for good, is felt in
nearly every district, and in a large
majority of the homes in this county,
will not be doubted.
While the per cent. of enrolment of
persons of school age has fallen off
more than one per cent, the number of
days attendance has increased over
10000 and the pes cent. of the enroll
ment of children coming under the
compulsory age has increased three per
