The total amount paid out TO
teachers was S107,S16.T5. OF this.
the men teachers received s2l,5S4.45

average salary for men in graded

women teachers in graded schools
was s69.l3, and in country schools,

1t is stated that there is not an
other state in the Union that can
show higher salary average than
this. The total amount of money ap-
propriated for county schools was
s252.56s, and of this there was still
left in the school fund at the begin
ming of the fiscal year, some $41.O0t.
The graded schools have been in

schools built during the year at
cost of $4,000.
The value of all school property
in Weld county is s397.390.00.
One of the notable features of
Weld county schools is their librar
les. Out of the ninety-four dis
tricts. seventy now have libraries
installed. These libraries cost the !
people practically nothing. as the !
money was almost wholly obtained |
from entertainments given by the |
pupils. and private subscriptions.
These seventy libraries contain !
S.625 volumes, or 1900 more than |
last year. The superintendent of |
schools thinks that the average pu-
pill of Weld county is more familiar |
with the standard authors of fiction,
history and travel than the pupils of
a similar age in any portion of the
country, not excepting Boston,
whose erudition is by-word.
The large majority of our teach
ars are Normal school graduates and |
there are but two teaching at the !
