FRIDAY APRIL 10 1885
SCHOOL STATISTIC.
From the report of the State Super
intendent of Public Instruction we
make op the following statistical facts
concerning school interests which we
think should attraet the careful atten
tion of every friend of education in the
state. We must confess these figures
do not make as favorable a showing for
Oregon as we had thought and hoped
they would. From this report we
gather the fact that the average num
ber of of days taught in all the districts
of the State for the year 1884 was 90.6,
or four months and a half. (The average
number or months taught in ail districts
in Lion County as shown by Superin
tendent Reld's report published in an
Other column is 5.33, which makes
fair showing for Linn county.) The
following states have ft greater average
than Oregon : California 155.4 days,
Colorado 100 days, Connecticut 179.66
days, Delaware 153 days, Illinois liO
days, Indiana 133 days, Iowa 142 days,
Kansas 1 14 days, Kentucky 102 days,
Louisiana 100 day e, Mai ue 117 day s,
Maryland 199 days, Massaobusetts 178
days, Michigan 148 days, Minnesota 98
Nebraska 111 days, Nevada 146
rjt, New Hampshire 96.27 days, New

OhioTSi days, HmlS& 153.73

days, Vermont 127.5 days, Virginia
118,2 days, West Virginia 99 days
Wisconsin 175.6 days, Arizona 109
days, District of Columbia 190 days
Idaho 150 days, Montana 125 days,
Utah 139 days.
The average monthly salary paid to
male teachers in Oregon for 1884 was
$46,75. The following states pay a
greater average monthly salary to male
teachers than Oregon : California pays
$79.67 par month, Connecticut $63.44
per month, Georgia $50 per month,
Illinois 46.86 per month, Massachusetts
$102.90 per month, Nevada $101.59
per month, New Jersey $56.96 per
month, Rhode Island $77.44 per month
Arizona $84.06 per month, District of
Colombia $91.13 per month, Idaho
$60.00 per month, Montana $75.74 per
month.
The average monthly salary paid to
female teachers in Oregon in 1884 was
$35.40. The following states pay a
greater monthly salary to female teach
ore than Oregon : California pays $64
43 per month, Connecticut $35.94 per
month, Illinois $37.76 per month,
Maryland $40.00 per month, Missouri
$38.00 per moDth, Nevada $79.73 per
month, Rhode Island $43.53 per month,
Arizona $68.19 per month, District of
Columbia $61.27 per month, Idaho $50
00 per month, Montana $64.20 per
month.
Oregon expends annually per capita
of average attendance in the public
sshools,8.96 mhile California pays $56.
4 6, Colorado $22 .55, Dele ware $19.1 8,1 11
sots $17.33, Indiana $13.34, Iewa $19.-
50, Maryland $17.66, Massachusetts
$21.59, Nebraska $20.40, Nevada $29.-
20, New Hampshire $16.35, New Jer
sey $15.64, New York $20.05, Ohio
$13.04, Rhode Island $18.29, Texas
$13.00, District of Columbia $19.97
Montana $18.00. Wyoming $14.85. It
appears thst Maryland has the greatest
average number of days taught in all
the districts being 199 days or nine and
nine tenths school months. North
Carolina has the smallest average num
ber ei days taught in the districts being
62.5 days or three and one eight months.
Massachusetts pays the highest wages
to male "teachers, the average being
$102.90 per month. South Carolina
pays the lowest wages to male teachers,
the average being $26.00 per month.
Nevada pays the highest wages to
female teachers, the average being $76.
73 per month. Vermont pays the
lowest wages to female teachers, the
average being $18.24 per month.
The Talk says that General Bryant
of Whonsin whom Postmaster Gen
eral Vilas has appointed as attorney
for the post office department is re
publican. The Talk U in error. The
dispatch ofMarch the 24th which an
nounced his appointment reported
postmaster general Vilas as spying
that he wanted an attorney for his
department whose political opinions
were in harmony with the political
opinions of the administration, and
that Bryant was a democrat. And as
for Pearson, lately appointed post
master of New York, he is merely
a "mugwump" for whom democrats
seem to have a great respect.
On tbe 6th inst. an election was
held in Michigan for a Justice of the
Supreme Court, Regents of the Uni
versity and city and township officers
were elected. The democrats carri

Blaine carried it last fall by about 4,

SIGNIFICANT WABPARK.
The resolutions which we publish in
another column, adopted by the Linn
County Business Council P. of H. is
another evidence of the distrust with
which the great mass of the people look
upon those great monopoly news-papers,
which, being rich in purse, are thereby
emboldened to attempt to defy public
sentiment and public decency. In many
things newspapers are educatots of the
people aud leaders of public opinion.
But this applies in oases only when
new themes and new principles are
proposed for consideration. In all mat
ters where the people have duly and
considerately determined the soundness
of a principle or tbo expediency of a
policy, it were better that even a news
paper like the Orgonian should respect
the mature judgement of the people.
It is generally believed that the open
attacks made upon Judge Boise lately
in that paper are move covert attacks
upon the order of Patrons of Husban
dry, and that they are a mere foretaste
of what is in store (or that order in
consequence of the prominent part
which it has taken in securing certain
legislation which the Oregonian has
very bitterly opposed and defeating
certain legislation which tfee Ortyonian
has labored with much zeal and ability
to fasten upon an unwilling people a
people who, if sincere in anything, are
sincere in their opposition to those
monopolistic tendencies which having as
an overpowering but den upon the
jLwijUirii-Wpolttical party who
interests the OrfonUm is always labor
ing hard to promote. If this warfare
shall bring to light the cloven foot of
the Oregonwwi it will have served
a good purpose.

No wonder the ordinary Oregoniao
with great fidelity insists on calling
this "Qrd's country and many other
ames-expressive of our delightful and
salubrious climate. Only last Tues
day, while our weather was all that
heart could wish, bright, warm, sun
shiny, farmers busy, but nearly
through putting in their spring crops,
our markets supplied with lettuce,
onions, radishes, currants about large
enough for use and everything else in
equally advanced stages, the people
of Minnesota were treated to an or
dinary snow storm, which according
to the signal service officials left only
20 inches of saow on a dead levil, and
freight trains only about an hour be
hind time.

Sweet Home.
April 4th, 1881.
As our last ran the gauntlet of the
W. B., we will in our feeble way at
tempt to chronicle a few cf the events
of the near past :
Everything and everybody is quiet
at this writing, (0 a. m.) Only two
pugilistic performances since writing
oar last. Some few of our citizens,
(with regret we are obliged to acknowl
edge,) are very enterprising in the way
of getting up a row, and do not seem
satisfied until they can get to carry
around some evidence of their not "tak
ing tbe lie,"most generally in the shape
of a broken nose or blaok eye. But
alt parties in the late unpleasantness
were duly sober, but canaot say they
were in their right minds.
Business is quite brisk for o.ir town
Our merchants are doing rather more
than the usual amount of business for
the time of the year, and they deserve
to do well as they are live energetio
men.
John Donaca, Esq., bought over 100
dozen of eggs a week ago to-day, which
fact ought to dispel thst old time de
lusion f "dwellers in the valley" that
Sweet Homers live wholly upon grouse
and potatoes,and sell nothing but posts
and shingles.
Rev. Joslin, our resident preacher, is
making some improvements, and by
the way he is fixing up around, buying
fixtures and appurtenances for ' his
dwelling, refusing to sell or loan a amall
wagon for ohildien and talking woman
suffrage so loud and long that we sus
pect that there is something "wrong in
Denmark," by tbe fact that the good
roan ia a widower well fixed and alone,
and we will hereby give notice that all
unmarried young ladies with matrimo
nial intentions in view might do well
to ponder ever tbe above facts and gov
ern themselves accordingly.
In our last we forgot to make men
tion of our grist mill and jolly milter,
Joe Berry, who is in tbe flour and flow
er business, the last named in our city,
bis mill being some three miles above
town on Wiley Creek, where he is
turning out a Srat-clasa article of floor
aud withal ic a clever and agreeable
gentleman with whom it is a pleasure
to deal.
Prof. I K. Brooks moyed tbe past
week into Z. B. Moss neighborhood,
preparatory to commencing school.
Our school has been running two
weeks, 36 pupils enrolled, and by the
increase in the number of visitors our
people are awakening- to tbe tact that
they ought to vis t their school occa
sionally and thereby encourage both
teacher aad pupils.
In our last, Csscade rut road should
have read Cascade Mt. road, but per
haps ye editors know more about that
than your bumble correspondent, as we
have cever been over tin road. But
we understand it ia being put in better
condition than ever this year and will
be ready for travel as soon as tbe snow
is off.
Our worthy P. M. baa raised the
Cleveland and Hendricks of tbe New
York World, and solicits subscribers

of tbe civil service.
Deacon Shea returned from a trip to
Albany yesterday.
J edge John Summer above town
claims to bo the chamnton quoit pitch

jokes on him that they relate occasion
ally to select crowds.

plaining for rain.

tive of the Bute Insurance Co. of Sa
