letter accompanying his report addressed
by County Superintendent Pool OF Tarrant

cation. As it shows q healthy and quite
flattering condition of the free schools in
TaIraut, it may be of interest to the readers
of the GAZETTE:
FoGT WORTH, TEX, Nov. "a, 1891.
Superintendent Jas. NJ. Carlisle, Austin, Tex.
Dear Sir-IncloseG you will find my
report OF the school affairs of this country
from July /, 1890 10 August 81, 1891. The
reason that 4 portion of the previous year
is included arises from the fact that Hon.
O. H. Cooper called for the reports last
year Just after he offered his resignation rs
state superintendent. A number OF sum-
mer schools We're then IN progress and
were not included in the report sent from
this county last year.
Our schools are in fair condition. There
is quite an awakening among the people On
the school question. The per cent OF en-
roilment was better last year than ever be-
fore, and while there is yet much room for
improvement the attendance was more
regular than usual.
\ number of districts have levied special
taxes, and the results are so satisfactory
that many others Will vote the tax. Much
Improvement has been made in the school
buildings, and new furniture, maps, charts
and other apparatus have been placed in
the schools in different parts of the county
Mere than three hundred pupils now belong
to the city schools which were enrolled
formerly in the schools belonging to the
county. These children live in the territory
recently annexed to the city of Fort Worth.
The actual enrolment, as shown by the re-
port, is considerably less than it would be
but for the fact Just mentioned.
Our teachers association continues to
flourish. The attendance is good and an
Improvement has been added in the form of
teachers library, supplied with books
of rare value, to which all members
have access.
The summer normal was a success, The
association contemplateS holding another
normal in 1892 The trustees association
meets three times year in April, August
and December. This organization has ac-
compiished great good for the schools of
the county. and if Kept in active operation
for few years viii solve the local tax,
schoolhouse and many other important
problems connected with the Tarrant county
public schools.
We have Intelligent progressive teachers
who are ever ready to assist in advancing
the cause Of intelligence. The people have
assisted much in the cause hy encouraging
teachers and aiding the county superintend-
ent l. his work. Very respectfully,
W. Il Pool, County Superintendent.
