SUPT. WELLES MAKES
REPORT ON SCHOOLS

County School Superintendent
Frank X. Welles has just completed
his annual report and sent it into the
state superintendent, L. r. Alderman.
Interesting indeed are some of the
statistics contained therein showing
as they do the growth, development
and Improvement made in the schools
during the past year.
For instance it is shown that there
were nine more teachers employed last
year than during the previous year
and 2S more than were employed five
years ago. The number of teachers
examined for certificates has increas-
ed from 102 in 1905 TO 156 in 1911.
Attendance Larger.
The average daily attendance of chill
dren at school last year was $50 great
er than five years ago, while during
this time the average length of the
school term has increased Ia months.
the average term now being &c
months.
The average salary of male teach
ers has increased nearly so per cent
in the last five years. or from $5S.s6
to $S5.64 per month, while the sal
airy of female teachers has increased
from $4S.73 to $62.S1 per month.
More Improvements.
one of the most encouraging fea-
lures shown by the report is the
amount expended for repairs and I'M
proyements on school buildings and
grounds. The amount expended for
this purpose last year was about S3,-
600 greater than during the pre-
vious year, and nearly $4,000 more
was paid out for this purpose than
six years ago These items do not
include the cost of new schoolhouses.
and indicate that the buildings and
grounds are kept in much better re-
par than they formerly were which
is true in most districts.
Although there was a substantial
increase in the average number of
months of school taught last year.
and also an increase in the salaries
| paid to teachers, there was a cores
ponding decrease in other expenses.
so that the total expense of the schools
was only $S40.SS greater than last
year.
