The general advancement of great
enterprises rests with the people, n
the advancement or improvement OF
a school system is no exception.
Whatever the improvements in the
past have been, the people must be
given credit for, and this will be true
in the future.
AS time passes conditions change,
making it necessary to enact new laws
and this is as true of school systems
as of any others. Laws enacted a
quarter of a century ago may have
filed the requirements at that time
and yet not be the best or at all suited
to the present conditions.
Two years ago it was explained in
the Superintendent Report that, with
the multitudinous duties that have
been put upon hat officer and the
great amount of Office work required,
it was impossible for him to spend
the time in visiting the schools in the
different counties of the State that
some think he should. 1t is an utter
impossibility for him to do o If any

of $4,000 was appropriated.
THE FARM A SOURCE OF PROFIT
The farm affords healthful employ
ment to the inmates, and at the same
time it is being made a source of con-
siderable profit to the State. Each
year some twenty-five acres OF the
old run-out alfalfa are broken up and,
after being cultivated as a vegetable
farm for two years, are then reseeded
in alfalfa. BY pursuing this system
the whole farm will in a few years
be brought into a high state of cultl-
walton. We have already reseeded
some twenty-five acres of 1T and the
resulting increased productivity Is
unite marked. For this term the net
value of the farm and garden products
computed at market rates, charging
against such products all hired labor
thereon, with board at the
rate of $50 per month, shows a net
profit of s14,O47 IS for the term, or

OBSERVATIONS
HELD IN SLAVERY

PORTLAND, Or, February Fl.
After a year of actual slavery,
during which they were afraid to
venture from the homes of the
masters they served, Agnes Rut-
IKE and Birgitta Christensen, two
handsome Danish young women,
have been rescued by DR.. William
T. Eisen, Danish Vice-Cansul at
Portland. Neither of the girls can
speak a word of English.
Our paraphrased claim that the air
of America is too pure for a slave
to breath receives an occasional body
blow. The foregoing is a specimen

to make these annual tours, that fund
has not been exhausted, and a consid-
cradle part of that appropriation has
been turned back into the Treasury.
There is a great need of better SUI
pervision of the schools. As the law
is now the District Attorneys are ex-
oficio County superintendent of
Schools, without any incrase in their
salaries.
The office of County Superintendent
was abolished on the score of econ
omy. But was it economy?
1t is an utter impossibility for the
State superintendent of Public In
struction to supervise the schools and
attend to the many other duties he is
obliged to perform. The County SUI
perintendents declare they cannot, for
lack of time and money, for there is
no provision made to pay their eXpen-
ses in doing so, and they cannot af-
ford to pay them out of their OWN
pockets. 1t is very seldom that the
school trustees look into the school
room. 1t is almost a miracle that our
schools make the progress and i'm
provement they do.
But they do progressively do i'm
prove from year to year, and will con-
tinue to improve, although expert SUI
pervision be denied them. But al
though they will continue to make
some progress, they will not accom-
plish the results they would if they
were supervised by an experienced,
energetic superintendent.
In order to secure the highest re-
suits schools should be in charge Of
thoroughly competent teachers-those
best qualified to secure the results
aimed at with the least loss of time.
Then there should be efficient and
well-organized supervision of the
teachers in the schools.
Quite a large per cent of the teach
ing force drops out each year, and
their places are filled by new and, in
most cases, inexperienced teachers.
Without supervision, careful super
vision, the work of an entire term
may be practically wasted, because
of the inexperience and inefficiency
of the teacher. Effective supervision
will remove this difficulty.
The office OF County Superintendent
of Schools should be re-created, n
salaries commensurate with the duties
of the office in the several counties
should be allowed.
If this cannot be done, the State
should be divided into at least four
Educational Districts, and a District
Inspector appointed by some compel
ent authority, to superintend the ed
ucational interests of each district.
These inspectors of Superintendent,
with the State Superintendent, could
form an Educational Board, given au-
thority to prepare rules and regula-
tions for the management of the
schools. No one should be appointed
to the position of District Superinten-
dent who is not qualified by education
and experience to teach the highest
q hools Of the State, and should be
required to give his whole time and
attention to the duties of the Office.
With the above suggestions I leave
the matter in the hands of the legis-
| lators.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
From pay patients there was col
lected during the term the sum of
5 1,591.25. Deducting this from the
total expended, $71,OOO. leaves an ac-
tual cost to the State of 500, 4OS.75 for
the 1890 patients, or an average per
capita per diem of 5O.79 cents.
The following were the appropria-
tions for this term:
General appropriation ........ ST., 900
Hospital building and improve
ment of heating appliances
in the main building ......$ 5000
Repairs of fences, bitches, etc. $500
Purchase of o~ne-fourth Of Sulli-
van ditch and water rights 5000
HOSPITAL BUILDING
The sum of $4,000 was appropriated
to construct and furnish a building
for hospital purposes and to render
more efficient the heating system of
the main building. To effect the lat
ter 81, 500 was expended, and the in
mates of the main building are now
kept comfortably warm, regardless OF
