STATEMENTS
OF
AUDITORS AND SCHOOL EXAMINERS,
RESPECTING THE CONDITION OF SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL-HOUSES.
ADAMS COUNTY.
While the schools of Adams county will doubtless compare favor- ably with those of other portions of the State, outside the larger towns and cities, it is nevertheless true that a radical reform in their man- agement is necessary before that degree of excellence, which was con- templated by the founders of our system can be fully Jealized
I regret to announce it, as my opinion, that the schools in very many of our sub-districts are little, if any, better than they were twenty-five years ago. One of the chief causes of this lack of improve- ment is traceable to that false notion of economy which prevails to a great extent among the local directors and patrons of our sub-district schools. Many of the buildings belonging to these schools are small, dingy, miserably furnished affairs, whose appearance, both exterior and interior, would naturally indicate a purpose entirely foreign to mental culture. In short, the buildings themselves are enough to disgust the youthful mind with schools and everything pertaining thereto. Too often inexperienced boys and girls, who may have barely passed the test of examination, are employed to teach, simply because their services, which are dear at any price, can be secured for small compen- sation, while experienced and competent teachers must seek other chan- nels of employment, or teach at a pecuniary sacrifice. As a natural consequence, most of our teachers, who are really qualified for their work, can find more remunerative employment in other pursuits, and thus often forsake the profession just as they are beginning to be useful, while their places are rapidly taken by the annual influx of "frac- tionally educated " youths, who are prematurely lured into the profes- sion through the misguided action of ignorant, parsimonious local direc- tors. It should not be inferred that all our failure in teaching comes from the younger class ; for some of our older teachers have spent many
223

years in the school-room without having made any perceptible improve- ment either in scholarship or methods of teaching.
It is the object of the Board of Examiners to elevate the standard of qualifications as rapidly as circumstances will permit, but it must be remembered that school examiners, like other public servants, are neces- sarily circumscribed in some degree by public opinion. If they should attempt, at a single blow, to rid the profession of its mass of incompe- tency, such a course would not only raise a storm of indignation, but would leave us without a sufficient number of teachers to supply our schools, at least, for a time. Neither should it be inferred that Adams county lacks a fair proportion of good schools and good teachers; for we certainly have a goodly number of both.
The status of the schools in any community depends upon the degree to which public sentiment is enlightened. In those localities where intelligence predominates, teachers are chosen with reference to their scholarship, general culture, and good reputation, and are retained , from year to year so long as they continue to do good work, while, on the other hand, where illiteracy predominates, the teacher is usually "hired " with reference to " cheapness", no matter how coarse his man- ners, how unbecoming his conduct, or how generally incompetent he may be; and he must be changed annually to satisfy that craving for something new which characterizes an unlettered people.
In my opinion, the evils herein mentioned, will continue, to a great extent, so long as the sub-district system remains in force. When our legislators shall have become sufficiently impressed with the importance of the matter, to place the schools of each township under the immediate control of a single board, whose duties and powers shall be similar to those of village and city boards; and when they shall have authorized the said township boards, in each county, to choose a competent county superintendent of schools for a specified term ; then, and not till then, may we look to see such a reform in the management of our country schools, as every intelligent observer must admit to be an imperative necessity, in order that justice may be done the thousands of children throughout the rural districts of the State, whose opportunities to obtain a good, common school education are, in a manner, defeated, because of that incompetency existing among local directors and teachers, which is fostered by our school system as it now is.
In conclusion, I would add, that some of our sub-district schools, and most of our village schools are doing good work. The latter generally have good buildings, with modern furniture and some apparatus, but, as
224
ANNUAL REPORT.
a rule, our country districts are destitute of modern school supplies, while not a few of their so-called school-houses are a disgrace to civilization.
LUCIEN J. FENTON, Clerk of Board of Examiners.
ALLEN COUNTY.
The condition of the schools of this county is slowly, but steadily, improving. Good teachers seem to be in better demand than ever before, and command from $40 to $50 per month for the entire time, whilst the lower grades, but from $1.50 to $2.00 for the winter terms, and from 75 cents to $1.00 for the summer terms. The average wages paid in separate districts for the year 1879, were, for primary teachers, gentlemen, $45 ladies, $33; high school, gentlemen, $70; ladies, $62.
