The following report of the County Superin-
tendent OF Schools was presented and accept
ed:
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of
Bayfield, county, Wis
Gentlemen-In accordance with law / here
with submit to you report of the condition OF
the common schools of bayfield, County for the
school year ending June 30lh, 1900
The total number OF pupils enrolled in the
schools was 2.41, while the average daily at
tendance was 1875. There were II teachers en-
plOyed 16 male and 81 female. Had the pupils
been separated in:o n schools the rec of
teaChcrs would have been quite adequate for
the work but in fact some schools have an
average attendance of ond others 80.
There is strong feeling in parts of the state
towards Transporting children from small
schools and con bining two more schools
into one where this will make better schools,
but it has been possible in but two schools in
this county.
The schools make use Of rs buildings and
more is needed
The cost of schools for the year ending June
30th 1900 was $50, ia o. Deductng from this
the cost OF building and repairs which was
$lS,344S 81, we have left S46,S29. 21 as cost of
carrying on the schools
This gives an average expenditure Of S1e.43
for each child enrolled in the schools.
1t seems fair to deduct the cost of buildings
as they are pei manent improvements
The value of school buildings in The county
is PSI ime,t ed at si22 5000.
The average salary of male teachers was
S405, 90 and female $500
When we consider the expense Of the teach
ers and then hink Of The great wolk they do
it would seem that no other profession paws
as little for the amouut of work done
Yet wage sare good in I}ayfe d county and
school boards are flooded with applications for
the posii ions.
They may select the very best If they wish,
and iJa .ieve there is ST r0ng tendency to do
So OF the teachers employed, twelve held
state certificates or normal diplomas nine
held first grade county certificates, twenty
held second and thirty held third grade More
than half of those holding county certificates
have had from one too two Years training
in Normal School, Cr other ms itlitions of
higher learning. All but three were gradn-
ates of state high school he Availability
of Normal school graduates make it possible
for the examining officer of the county to set
high standard of atainments for those who
apply for county certificates.
The possession of d diplOm from a Normal
School does not in Itself prove that the
holder is better teacher than who by hard |
study, self cultnle and practical experience, |
has fitted himself for the work, but given
equal The experience the person who has
