/ Win mucn or the hardness and lncreaS-
ed the attendance. Owing to the. preva-
lence of smallpox and other contagious
diseases this fall, the above system has
not given the results it otherwise would.
have written every teacher and with
perhaps half dozen exceptions the
/ answer has been that they are doing
much to increase the punctuality and
attendance. Practically all wish their
use continued. Not wishing the county
to furnish them until had given them
! trial. l have individually furnished
those used this fall. In my Judgment it

them another year.

0. d. Antisdel presented his annual
report as County Superintendent of
Schools, End District, as follows, which
wss referred to Committee No II:
GAINESVILLE, Jan. Is, 1906.
| 10 the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of Rock County:
Gentlemen:-In accordance with the
law hereby submit my third annual
report regarding the condition of the
schools for the year 1905.
And let me say here that if you note
| any points of similarity in the reports of
the first and the second superintendent
districts, it is because we have similar
conditions in our districts, and not be-
cause we have compared reports.
My financial accounts have been aud
tied by your committee and approved by
them. The items will not all be given
here, but I will file them with this re-
port, so that any one who wishes may
examine them.
My district appropriated S25 in 1905
for purchasing registers for the districts.
This | expended for 25 Harvey registers,
and have been supplying such districts
as needed them. This policy of having
the registers purchased by one person
not only gives more uniformity of rec
| ords and better records, but also saves
money to the districts, as each register
| costs one-fourth more when purchased
singly. Therefore recommend that my
district appropriate seventy-fve dollars
(S75) more for this purpose, to be ex-
pended by either the county clerk or
your superintendent for registers. This
will supply the Second Superintendent
district schools with registers for some
years to come.

Our last legislature repealed the law
which obliged every applicant for GER
tificate to pay one dollar to the institute
fund, thus cutting off the income for in
stitutes At the time of our July insti-
tute we did not know when we could get
any more money for the fund, so my ex-
penses were cut down to keep balance
for future Institutes. But hereafter
$4,000 from the state funds is to be di-
vided each year among the county super
lntendents for institute expenses. This
will give us nearly as much as we have
been receiving.
