Up to 1850 only the aggregate valuation in the several counties were reported to the State officers, and from 1852 to 1857, inclusive, a few counties returned only the aggre- gates ; hence the details of real estate and personal property valuations are not complete for those years. In 1867 and 1868 the details of valuation are not entirely correct, owing to changes by the operation of the equalization law ; since 1868 the valuations are as equalized. The total valuations in each of the several years are entirely correct and official. The valuations for 1873 as equalized are largely in excess of any previous year. In 1874 some changes were made in the manner of equalizing the assessments, resulting in reducing all the valuations, but especially that of railroad property. Valuations for 1881 are but little if anything over twenty- five per cent of the cash value of the real estate, and even less on personal property owned in the State. The State

Debt, as noted, represents it as it stood on the 1st of January in each of the several years to 1869; in 1869 and 1870, as it stood December 31; in 1871, as it stood December 31; from 1872 to 1879, as it stood December 1, 1879. The indebted- ness of the one hundred and two counties composing the State is light. The counties of the State contributed for bridge and road tax the sum of about $8,000,000 during the five years ending December, 1883. For 1879, $1,259,851; for 1880, $1,359,817; for 1881, $1,420,979; and for 1882, $1,738,160. Cook county, not reported for 1883, is reported for each of the other years-Without this county the tax amounted to $2,150,687.18 in 1883.
Education in Illinois .- From 1821 to 1869, Illinois re- ceived no less than $713,495.45 from the proceeds of sales of school lands together with $447,919 of the $28,000,000 surplus divided by Congress in 1836 among the States. The land grant for educational purposes comprised 985,066 acres for common schools and 46,080 acres for universities.
The report of the State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion for the year ending June 30, 1883, was issued in April, 1884. It shows the whole number of persons under twenty- one years of age in the State to be 1,540,918, as compared with 1,529,318 in 1882, and 1,500,255 in 1880. The number between the ages of six and twenty-one years is 1,046,936, as compared with 1,037,567 in 1882. The increase under this head is 166,223 in the eleven years reported since 1872.
There is still a steady increase in the number of pupils enrolled in the schools, the present report showing 717,385, as compared with 713,341 a year ago, and 704,041 in 1880. This increase has been 55,044 in the last eleven years. Of the enrollment last year 365,812 were males and 351,573 females, or a difference of the sexes of 14,239 in favor of the males, being a smaller excess of males than any other year since trustworthy school statistics have been gathered in the State.
The graded schools show an increase in the year from 1,120 to 1,166. In 1882 they showed a falling off of eleven. The graded and ungraded schools together number 11,980, against 11,948 in 1882, 11,964 in 1880, and 11,396 in 1872. While the number of pupils and schools has increased slightly, there has been an increase of 829 months in the told number of months taught, making the average in months for each school year appear as follows for the four years noted: In 1883, 7.20; in 1882, 7.15; in 1880, 7.10; in 1872, 6.90. The whole number of teachers employed in all
115

grades of the public schools also increased from 22,301 in 1882 to 22,547 by the present report. Of course, many of these taught in more than one district during the year, so that the total number of teachers in the State can only be approximated. It is set down at 19,550.
The foregoing items of increase are to be taken in con- nection with the following as explanatory of the increased expenditures for the schools during the year-that is, a slight increase in the average number of months taught, and an apparent or real increase of 241 in the number of teach- ers employed, is to be considered in connection with the fact that the highest wages paid to any male teacher was $270 a month, as compared with $250 the previous year, and the highest paid to any female was $190, as compared with $120 the previous year. The averages by this report are $49 for males and $38.99 for females, as compared with $46.86 for males and $37.76 for females by the previous report. To teachers alone the State paid out $5,318,658.85, or $332,888.09 more than for the year ending June 30, 1882. The expenditure under this head has steadily increased since 1872, when it was $4,334,256.
There were also 307 new school houses built during the year, making the total number 11,976, and 7,740 volumes were added to the school libraries. The school libraries are now valued at $96,612, against $83,503 in 1982, and the school apparatus at $228,031, against $191,543 in 1882. In all this the State Superintendent does not think any phe- nomenal growth is found, but only a steady and healthful progress.
Adding to the total sum paid teachers, $966,166 paid for new school houses, $132,195 paid for sites and grounds, $514,415 for repairs and improvements, over $160,000 for school furniture and apparatus, $847,498 for fuel, janitors, insurance, etc., $268,751 for interest on district bonds, $408,- 000 of principal on district bonds and a few other articles of smaller magnitude, it is shown that the whole educational operations of the State for its public schools foot up the magnificent figure $897,754.05. The figures for the year ending June 30, 1882, were $8,269,793.71, showing the expenditures last year to be about ten per cent greater.
Another item of the report which tends to show the extent of the State's education investment is found in the value estimated on all school property, which is set down at $19,732,206. In 1882 it was estimated at $17,994,176 and in 1880 at $15,875,566. And yet there seems to be no

prospect of bankruptcy, as the amount on hand to the credit of school treasurers the 30th of June last was $2,208,433.
The State Normal School, and the county Normal schools as well as the universities, colleges and private schools, give very satisfactory reports.
Military History of Illinois .- The beginnings of Illinois Territory were made in war. Hamilton, the British scalp- buyer, his troops and Indian allies were subjected to all those inglorious defeats recorded in British as well as Amer- ican history. In 1832, Black Hawk's Indians, fit friends of the defeated British, renewed the war, but was subjected and planted beyond the Mississippi. In May, 1846, 8,370 citizens of Illinois answered the call for troops to serve in the war against Mexico. Of this number, 3,720 were ac- cepted. The volunteers won signal honors at Passo de Ovegas, August 10, 1847; National Bridge, August 12; Cerro Gordo, August 15; Las Anemas, August 19; the siege of Puebla, September 15 to October 12; Atlixco, Oc- tober 19; Tlascala, November 10; Matamoras and Pass- Galajara, November 23 and 24; Guerrila Ranch, December 5; Napaloncan, December 10, 1847; at St. Martins, Feb- ruary 17, 1848; Cholula, March 26; Matacordera, February 19; Sequalteplan, February 15, this division did magnificent service. The affairs of Vera Cruz, Churubusco, Chapulte- pec and Mexico City will forever be identified with the names of the troops of Illinois, and her citizen-general, James Shields. This war cost $66,000,000, and defended for the Union, the Lone Star State.
The war of 1861-65 cost the United States about $4,000,- 000,000, and was the direct cause of the loss of about 1,000,- 000 of men to the whole country. The manner in which Illinois responded to the call of the President, April 14, 1861, is told in the following simple record. The record of volunteer troops organized within the State, and sent to the field, commencing April, 1861, and ending December 31, 1865, with number of regiment, name of original commanding officer, date of organization and muster into United States' service, place of muster, and the aggregate strength of each organization, has been prepared with great care, and forms in itself a concise record of Illinois in the war for the Union :
