PENNsYLHANIA SCHOOLS.
Report of the Superintendent of Public
Instruction.


HARR1sBuRG, Pa, Dec. 1o.--The
superintendent of public instruction
gave out advance proofs of his forth
coming report to-day. They show that
the number of pupils in the public
schools of Pennsylvania in 1899 was
977,529, an increase of 5000. The num-
Der Of schools was ,436, an increase of
522. The number of teachers was
$780, an increase of Ala.
The total expenditures including that
upon buildings was $14,329, 140.46, an
increase Of $S10.431.4S. The estimated
value Of school property was SAC, 242, /.
6G4, an increase of $4,765,720.
The state appropriation of $5,0o0,0O0
did not become available until last June,
and its effect will not appear in this re-
port.
The indirect effect of this great sum,
however, has manifested itself in much
needed improvements at the cost Of the
district. Free text books have been in
troduced, the term has been heightened,
salaries have been raised and the school
buildings have been erected in all
respects worthy the cause. Improved
apparatus have also been introduced. In
2,4S1 schools text books were supplied
free of cost, while in others the boards
adopted the policy of supplying part of
the books annually, with a view to a
general Introduction,
The superintendent favors the issuing
of q state teachers certificate to college
graduates, under certain conditions.
Manual teaching, he says, has taken Il
firm hold upon the people. The IL
normal schools are doing a great work
and have the confidence and support of
the public.

They Are said 10 Have Been "Faked" by
Two Dishonest Correspondents.

CANTON, MINI, Dec. l0.-A couple
Of correspondents, with more industry
than honesty, have done the village Of
Canton and the cause Of religion meal
culable injury by representing q state
of things that does not exist. The in
Vulnerable stories they have sent out in
regard to the great crowds of ailing
people who have gathered under the
'miracle window" and gone back to
their homes cured Of chronic diseases
are almost pure fiction.
One day month ago an old man,
crippled for life, prayed under the win
dow and in his excitement asserted that
he could walk as we'll as he could when
lie was a boy. He walked away but
when he reached home and became
calm he found That he was in great pain
and had to be taken to his bed, and
when he arose he had to take to his
crutches again.
The people of Canton and vicinity
are intelligent and respectable and they
seriously object to being scandalized by
the stories that are being sent out in re-
gard to the alleged miracles.
