Reports Of Comfy Superintendent and
Treasurer.

On Monday OF last week, first Monday
IN July, the County Board of Education.
County Superintendent AID County
treasurer, met according to law. for the
reports OF the latter two 10 be examin-
ed by The Boa.d. The reports were al
proved and forward d. From the SUI
perintendent's report we CLEAN the fol-
lowing: Total number of white child
ren, $50; whites enrolled in g. schools
(whole number districts 81 showed
2,oe9. Average attendance Of whites,
1855; total number of colored children
1897 cOlOred enrolled in Il schools
(whoie number districts 54) ,9GI; aver
age attendance 1870.
The report shows two csunty ms i.
tutes for white teachers during the year
August 1890, there were 1Ol teachers
enrolled, in May 1890 there were 50 en-
rolled. This falling off in thi. wear is
que 10 The busy season of the year, while
The number was small there has never
been better, more interesting and pro-
fitable Institute held in the county. The
1reasurer's report shows that total ex-
penses OF the two Institutes was S43. 10.
The average length of school term for
both races this wear is precise; the same,
viz: l0t weeks.
The average salary Of white teachers
(male) $4,000.
The average salary of white teachers
(female) 1926.
The average salary of coloreL teachers
(male) $2z.5O.
The average salary of eulored teachers
(femalc) slG.25.
The above shows bad for our county.
especially does it show a niggardly spirit
toward our white girl. who are trying to
teach. Their average salary is less than
that Of the negro men, while Superin-
tendent Royals report shows thai there
were two white girls who got first grade
certificates to one negro man, out OF
nearly the same number applying. To
what then is this due? Is it possible
that our school committeeman jew the
girls down till they can't make decent
living by teaching? The whole humber
OF certificates granted during the year
are 1855 first grade A second grade
and 25 third grade, and only three of
the rs third grades were whites.
1t may be of some interest to know
at what age more pupils attend school.
The report shows the number increases
from 25l at six years of age up to 462 at
Ii years of age and then declines to IS
at 10 years of age; but strange to say
Jumps to 90 at 20 years. We suppose
this is due to the TACT that it is their last
dive at the public teat.
The Treasurer's report shows that the
total amount collected for school pur-
poses was s7,6G4.4S, of this amount,
81, $50 was disbursed for all objects.
The balance en- hand (including surplus
from last Year, to be used for the sum-
mer and fall schools is s4.97l.76.
The superintendent report sho rs
that the assessed valuation of property
OF whites in the county, is $2,03l, 1871.
Of colored s6O,335; white polls 2,441,
colored polls 500. Of the whites there
were only 1872 returned insolvent, Of the
colored ga.
Total am cunt paid by whites for school
purposes IS, 438.1S; total paid by color
ed $9747I.
The report also shows that the public
school books are generally used all over
the county.

Old Timer-A whale, is its Why,
when was in the Mediterranean, in 80,

land aheadl an sure enough right over
on our larboard side there was an island
as no one ever seed afore, an which our
skipper said warn't down on none o his

bitin' wind an six of us was sent out in

We made direck for the island an landed
an wandered about for an entire mornin'
without diskiverin no signs o. mammal
life or vegetation. We got chilled
through an purceeded to build fire
which we had scarcely lighted when the
island begun TO sguirm am to sink as if
by magic. TO make long story short
what we took for an island was whale !;
guess he couldn't stand the hot fire in
the small of his back, so he sank 10 the

ceased daughter of said John Little, the
