One of the interesting features of the re- port Is the results of the special invesh- gation which s. P. Willard made into the schools of New Haven county. The report is voluminous, and much of its matter Is tabulatsd The county contains 167 school districts and 245 public schools. The pur- pose of the inquiry was to learn the meth eds of instruction us.d, the qualifications of the teachers, the help afforded them by the school authorities, the general interest in education manifested by the community and all other facts of educational interest as far aa they could be learned from the school visitors and teachers.
 The average attendanos in this county Is 65 per csnt. of the enumeration. This means that more than half of the children between fonr and sixteen years of age are in constant attendance. The variations are noteworthy. In Bsthany the attend to the attendance of few who sre over 16 In Waterbury and Derby many arc drawn into private echoola, leaving 40 of every 100 in public schools In HAmden there is no reasonable explanation of the small attendance. There are rsny places where children do not get more than 30 weeks schooling in tue year. This is broken up into few days now, a few weeks later on, and Is never consecutive ohe iHkuAoh. Ahc "oih ot teucucEe IS greatly increased, because they must go over the same ground again and again.
 Tie increase of population in New Hs- ven county is very great and the report eaya: "There is year by year a dense mass of new children for whom schools must be provided. The problem of overtaking and keeping pace with the educational wants of these towns has been met by high taxa tioD, or by borrowing. School houses and applianCes-necessities which cannot be averted-have been provided. The task Is intending, and the good result not immedi- ately apparent. It is 8 serious discourage ment in public school efforts, that the criti- cism of the present Is ready and sure, while the resulting and ultimate benefit is long delayed and seldom recognized"
 The report of the county investigation closes as follows.
 The furniture in 10 ost of the schools is faulty The seats and desks are not proportionsd to the heights aud adjustable to the growth of pupils Seats are not adapted to the form of the body and the tendency is to take some distorted posi- and satisfactory improvement in school furni- ture. Very few school houses ROW contain the old-fashioned blanks, and fe v have seats around the outside of the rooms
 The inquiry shows that in most school houses there is entire want of any proper ventilation. In warm weather the air from the outside is readily obtained by opening windows and doors. When fires are in operation, the conditions of study not supplied, and all the conditions of health are egregiously set at naught. There ought always to be some means for supplying pure air to school rooms, and in winter this air ought 10 bs warm

 To be Performed at Skinner School.
 The training department of Welch school is about to be abolished. The work now done in that department will be performed in the Skinner school on State street.
 The plan is to turn over to the state board of education the Skinner school to be used by the state ss . normal school. There are four vacant rooms in the build ing which could be used by the training department, the teachers of the same to be appointed, controlled and paid by the state.
 The other rooms in the Skinner school now used by the district will remain under the control of the local board. with the provision that they be used as practice rooms by the training Gepartment of the normal echool. That Is, the pupil teaoh- CTS in the training department would use the children in the other rooms of the building as subjects for practice.
 The same method is now followed in the WeIch school.
 The plan of turning the Skinner school over to the state meets with the approval of the local board, and 1t will undoubtedly be accomplished.

of Money on Call Decreased and the Kate Declined-The Market Closed Firm.
 NEW YORK, June 13.-The market was even duller than usual to-day. The dealings were al most entirely professional and the bears brought about a further decline in prices. Additional bank failures in the west, troubles in the nor cantile world, the continued shipments of cur rency and frmness of rates for money influenced speculation. Under the circumstances the de- cline in shares was not heavy, ranging from 1s to l9s the latter in General Electric. The principal drives were against this stock, Chicago Gas, Sugar, Western Union, Reading, Northern Pa ciflc, and the grangers.
 During the afternoon the supply of money on cal decreased and the rate declined. On this the smaller shorts attempted 10 corner and prices improved 14 to 1@. The offerings as the advance made progress were comparatively light.
