SCHOOL VISITS.
I give below the number of schools visit
ed last year after I had submitted my re
port for the year ending June 30, 1879. The
number of the districts only nre given as to
give all of the items kept daring these visits
would render this report cumbersome and
not add to its value here for a fall report,
ho rever, of the school work done in this
county during the past year, I would re
spectfully refer yon to the Bi-ennial Report
of the State Snperintendant, a copy of
which I will furnish you when published.
The districts are give in the order visited,
as follows: Nos. 13, 45, 8. 22, 17, 19, 15,
23, 49, 20, 27, 24, 43, 4. 1, 3, 18, 50, 52, 25,
37, 12, 36, 42, 41, 29, 38, 35, 33, 39, 55, 32,
14, 6, 31, 26, 27. The average time spent
in each of these schools was one-half
day. They are located iu all parts of the
county from No. 1, in the extreme notthern
part of the county to No. 55 on the Lower
Alsea.
In addition to the above, the following
schools have been visited during the present
quarter, viz: Nos. 10, 45, 9, 29, 1, 43, 4, 6.
3, 48, 14, H, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 13,
17, 19, 20, 50.
Most of these schools were found in good
condition several were in excellent condi
tion not ably so, were Districts, 45, 13,
20, 19, 17, 23, 3, 48 an.l 27.
SCHOOL HOUSES.
The School Directors in several districts
are lining a good work iu regard to building
and repairing school houses during the pres
ent term. New houses will be built this
year iu districts 12, 37, 3. 48 and 49. Sev. ra)
will be repaired and several are attending
to a long neglected duty and that is they
are furnishing thtir school-grounds with
good out-hous e. Many of our school offi
cers are earnest men who are interested in
education of our youth and who begin to
see that little money well expended will
add greatly to the health and comfort of the
children of their schools. This progress is
gratifying. The importance ot having com
fortable aud well ventilated School houses,
seems now to be well understood. It is ut
terly impossible to teach a successful school
in pooriy warmed aud illy ventilated house.
Pure air is necessary to the proper applica
tion of mind on the part of the pupils on
the other hand, idleness, listlessness, aud
niiscbi f as frequently result from impure
air as from a bad disposition. Foul air irri
tates the body and stu pities the mind cer
tainly and quickly. A cheap ventilating
apparatus in every district school house
would certainly pay for itself in one term in
the increased efficiency of the s hools. A
great deal of sickness among children m y
be directly traced to badly w.irmed and
badly ventilated school houses, anil it is
certain, in many instances, that the founda
tion of permanent di: eases which some
times manifest themselves in after life are
frequently laid in the same places.
CLOSING RfcMAKKS.
In closing, I desire to submit some items
of work done, aud matters of expense con
nected with the work of this ottice. Iu ad
dition to the estimate of distance traveled
in actual official work, I would state that 1
had attended two (2) conventions of County
Superintendents, one at Salem; the
other at Portland. 1 have also attend
ed, within the year, two (2) mee ings of the
State Board of Education, both held at Sa
lem, an 1 also one intetiug of the State
Teachers' Institute held at Portland, all of
the above within the past year.
I have jiaid, within the yar, for printing
blanks fur use of this office, the sum of
915 00. For postage stamps, for office work,
5'J 50. I would state, ais , in this connec
tion, that in several counties in this State,
that the county furnishes an office, fuel, and
stationery (including printing) for use of
County Superintendent. Respectfully sub
mitted, E. B. McElroy,
Sup't of Schools, Benton Co., Oregon.

CONSISTENCY.
Is a virtue the Democracy can never ac
quire. Every Democratic 1 is per calls atten
tion to Garfield's record on the Salary Grab,
ami speak of it as an uno&rlonable sin. It
wnuM 1 e well enough, in this connection,
to remember that Ben Bntler was the intro
ducer, if not the author, of the bill, and he
has been twice a Democratic candidate for
governor of Massachusetts. Sam. Ran lall,
another Salary Grabber, has been honored
with the speakership in a Democratic House.
Fernando Woo-i drew his salary out of the
Grab, and defended his infamous conduct in
a speech two hours long, on the floor of the
House ; he is a shining star in the oarty to
day. Coming nearer home, Hon. J. S. Slater
took his little sli e of the hlthy job, and when
asked 1 y Hon. J. W. Nesmkh to explain,
did so by p'eai ling guilty, but tried to justi
fy his course by saying he had farther to
travel than other represent itives. The pure
Democracy of Oregon made him U. S. sena
tor. Garfield paid his immediately back into
the U. S. treasury, and made it impossible
for his heirs to ever get at it.
Which of these men were right? An old
butternut Democrat said yesterday, in reply
to a Republican on some of these points,
We don't care a for the platform or
principles ; we want to win, and intend to
do it, by fair means or foul. With Hancock
we can get a good many Republican rotes,
and lose none of our own." That man puts
the Democratic issues where they belong,
and gave them their true weight and value.
