M. A. Barry has in his possession a
copy of a book which contains the an
nual reports of his father, A. Con-
stantine Barry, an early day resident
of Lodi, who served as state superin-
tendent of public instruction of Wiscon-
sin in the years 1856 Z. The reports
are couched in language that shows a
highly cultured mind and make inter
esting reading for their literary value
alone. In the apportionment of the
state school fund we notice that Lodi
received in 1855, $143,29. A mighty
interesting table on teachers wages
found. Taking the state as whole
the average amount paid in 1849 to
male teachers was $15.22 per month
female teachers 1922. The average
was gradually increased each year until
1856 when it reached the munifcent
sum of $23. 10 for males and $12O8 for
females. Lodi Enterprise.
