Per cent. to
Lung diseases.
The above deaths occurred from July 1, 1869, to July 1, 1870, as given to persons taking the census, and may fall short of the ac- tual number of deaths. It shows that 473 or 11} per cent. of the whole number who died, lived to eighty years of age and upwards. 1,129, or 26.8 per cent. died with the lung diseases. It appears that people living near the sea-coast are less subjected to this pulmonary complaint than in the counties of Grafton and Coos.
If it was the yellow fever, or small pox that was carrying off over one quarter of the people who died, it would be called an epi-

DECEASED CENTENARIANS.
demic, but this scourge, consumption, creates no fear with the peo- ple, and they pass heedlessly and carelessly along without taking any precaution to guard against its flattering premonitory symptoms. If the inhabitants at the north were as guarded as the people in Virginia, or other southern States, in their clothing and exposure to inclement weather, this mortality, caused by lung affection, could be reduced at least fifty per cent.
DECEASED CENTENARIANS IN NEW-HAMPSHIRE SINCE 1822.
Through the courtesy of Dea. Daniel F. Secomb of Concord, we are enabled to give the number of persons who have died since 1822, at one hundred years of age and upwards.
The reader will perceive that people live quite as long at the present day, as fifty years ago, notwithstanding the sayings of older people to the contrary, who are led to believe that the vanities of dress, and the general style of living, has a tendency to shorten life. There is no doubt but the generation of to day has a lease of life at least ten years longer than the generation of seventy-five years ago.
The census of New-Hampshire in 1870, when compared with that of 1860, reveals some curious facts which are worthy of careful con- sideration. The number of children in 1860, under ten years of age, was 67,578 ; in 1870, 47,817 ; fifteen and under twenty, in 1860, 34,460; in 1870, 31,578 ; forty years and under fifty, in 1860, 33,613; in 1870, 39,355 ; seventy and under eighty, in 1860, 9,941 ; in 1870, 16,647 ; eighty and under ninety years, in 1860, 3,030; in 1870, 3,555 ; ninety and under one hundred years, in 1860, 364 ; in '1870, 337 ; one hundred years and over, in 1860, 7 ; in 1870, 18. It also shows that in 1860, there were living in New-Hampshire 266,952 persons under fifty years of age; of the same age in 1870, 235,998, or 30,954 less than in 1860. The number of persons of fifty years of age and upwards in 1860, was 59,120; in 1870, 82, 302, or 23,182 more than in 1860. It is evident that the principal cause of this great change in the population of the State, as to age, is in the younger class leaving the State to seek employment else- where, and leaving the older persons at home. If this young class with their wives and children would return to New-Hampshire, who have left it within the past ten years, it would no doubt increase the population at least 40,000. The war had something to do with this

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
CHAPTER VI.
Giving a statement of all the public Schools in the State, Dartmouth College, Literary Institutions, State Institutions, such as Asylum for the Insane, New-Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, Orphan's Home, State Prison, State Normal School, State Capitol, Reform School and Relig- ious Denominations in the State.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The founders of New-Hampshire believed in universal education. They believed, too, that the idea of a republic was the idea of a people governing themselves. This implied that the people should possess that amount of intelligence and virtue, which are essential to self-government. Our early legislators enacted laws providing for a system of free common schools.
Our present free educational institutions are of the highest val- ue to the State. The maintenance of them involves a great ex- pense and much care, but it is a wise outlay. Knowledge is less expensive than ignorance. Ignorance is a dangerous and costly factor under any form of government, and under a republican, des- tructive.
The several towns are sub-divided into districts for school pur- poses. In the sparsely settled districts, the schools are ungraded. In the cities and several of the larger villages, a system of graded schools has been established, embracing Primary, Intermediate, Grammar and High School Departments, with rooms, furniture, books, apparatus and teachers suited to the peculiar wants of each grade. The best graded schools are found in Manchester, Nashua, Great Falls, Dover, Littleton, Concord, Portsmouth, Milford and Claremont.
Towns and cities are required, by law, to raise annually, for support of public schools, three hundred and fifty dollars for each

dollar of the apportionment of State tax; towns, cities and school districts can raise larger sums by vote.
The school authority of the State is vested in a Board of Educa- tion, consisting of the Governor, Councilors and Superintendent of public instruction. The latter is required to hold Teacher's In- stitutes annually, in each county, prepare and distribute school blanks and registers, and present an annual report to the General Court, upon the condition and progress of the schools.
The following tables will exhibit the standing of schools in the various cities and towns in the State.
