"The school law might perhaps be amended to advantage, by making the school commission- ers superintendents, with a salary sufficient to let them devote their whole time to the schools. As it now is, the commissioner can hardly afford to pay that attention which is absolutely demanded. And, also, by reducing the number of directors to one in each district, which would insure strict attention to the duties of the office, there being no one to share them.
"Additional legislation is absolutely neces- sary in relation to the collection of district school taxes. In many cases teachers and schools suffer from the non-collection of the taxes which have been properly levied for the
purpose of keeping up a six-months' school. There have been more complaints made to this office on this head than on any other."
Superintendent Bateman argued in his re- port that the best way to put an end to the dep- redations of the "terrible jack-knife" and the 4 ruthless Vandalism of school-boys" was to re- place the "rickety old rookeries," in use for schoolhouses, by good buildings, properly equipped and furnished, such as would com- mand the respect and restrain the ruthlessness even of school-boys. He gave the following illustration drawn from his personal experi- ence, in proof of his proposition :
"The furniture of a certain schoolhouse con- sisted of a square pine table roughly construct- ed, for the teacher, desks of the same material, not planed, eight feet long, with slabs of the same length for seats, supported upon rough sticks driven into auger holes, and protruding an inch about the surface of the slabs-for the scholars. The rest of the equipment corre- sponded in style and finish. Upon these fixtures, fit only for kindling wood, and worth less than $5, there were cut, carved, marked and scratched, the likenesses of things in heaven above, in the earth beneath, and in the waters under the earth. The teacher drew a plan for a set of handsomely finished walnut desks and seats, to cost $10 a pair, and requested the directors to order them for the school. They replied that it would be supreme folly-that the money might as well be thrown into the fire that 'the boys would cut them up' in less than a week-that the teacher knew nothing about the desperate destructiveness of 'Suckers,' or he would not make such an insane suggestion. After much persuasion, and the teacher's pledge to assume $50 of the expense himself, at last, with ominous shakes of the head and depreca- tory remarks about 'new-fangled notions,' they consented ; the new furniture was produced, and the scholars, after a few words of encour- agement, were duly installed in their neat and comfortable quarters. A new order of things ensued ; jack-knives returned to their legitimate use ; the confident predictions of the directors proved groundless, and at the end of one year not a pin scratch could be found upon desk or seat. Ten years afterwards I visited that , school room (for the incident is one in my own experience), and found the furniture still neat and well preserved."
