Dr.. sohasHsr's Report.

The annual report Of Dr. Nathan c..
Schaeffer, Superintendent Of Public Iu-
struetion, forthe year ended June l, 1897,
shows 24s2 school districts in the state,
with an enrolment of I,l09,S72 pupils.
The average monthly cost of tuition per
pupil was SOB in Philadelphia, Sl22 for
the state outside of philadelphia. The to-
tai expenditure was Sl9,6ls, ,IS7.09, of
which S3,6Ss, ,604 36 was disbursed for
building purposes, and sl0.Oi9, sl245 for
teachers wages.
The report reviews recent school legis-
lation and cOmmends the new method of
distributing the State appropriation, by
which more money Will be paid to the
rural districts. The cities, however, will
have their recOmpense, Or. Schaeffer says,
in the fact that if those who flock TO the
centres of population as soon as their
schOol-days are ended, are well educated,
they become not only better citizens, but
also better consumers and better produ-
GERS.
Annual institutes are commended as an
important factor in creating and mould
ing public opinion, and, the report says,
more should be done TO establish high
schools in rural districts, and to give COM
mercial and industrial education in our
city high schools.
The report suggests more judicious
expenditure Of the school funds, and lays
special stress on the waste of money in
the purchase Of maps, globes, charts and
blocks, at extravagant prices. DrSchaef-
fer fayors legislation fixing the maximum
sums that may be expended for this sort
of paraphernalia.
