SlTKHISiTKMUiNT SWAN'S ' 11KPOKT OK COl'XTV SCHOOLS Tho County Superintendent hat juit completed hU annual report to tho State Superintendent and the various Itcmi gleaned from ihU re "i port shows a healthy condition of vV-lto ichooli of tho count) and nn ' Increase over lat year In every Item but expenditure. Tho schools last rwr In order to maintain the length of echobi that was thought mews aary encroached on this year m portlonmcnt In several Instances. There ha been an honest attempt to keep down expente thl year and hold them within tho apportionment, but It wa Impossible In all caes. Several dlttrlcts haro resorted to special taxes and several have cone short of tho amounts needed and have como out In debt. There I a feelinc In several parts of the county that the county fund should be some what Increased so that all tho prop erty of the county would stand be hind at. of the schools of tho county. There aro 'now large areas In the county that aro not In any school dls- The total number of children be tween the aces of four and twenty years reported this year Is 18!S 811 boys and (47 clrls. Last ear the number waa 1.751. The total en rollment In the schools of the county this year was 1,244 as acalnst 1.0S last year.

The total receipts for school purposes thla year were 40.005.18; last year $46.- 48.44. The total disbursements this year were $37,(44.45; laat year $45. 001.74. There la a cash balance this year of $1,340.73. Part of this Is money received from the sale of bonds and now being used for build ing; a part la special tax money. It all the outstanding warraata were de ducted the school funds would show a defldt, In spite of the fact that there baa been a lees number of daya school taught thla year than laat. Another fact that abowa car on the part of the directors la the large com parative amount paid to teachers this jear. This year the teachers of Klam ath county received $25,510.52; last car $20,571.79, although tho total disbursements wero more than $7, 000 greater last year than this car.

Tho average salary In one-room schools was 160; average salary of princi pals, $95; of assistant teachers In buildings of moro than one room. fGl.lS. The County Superintendent visited 30 of the 32 districts of the county and traveled approximately 1,400 mllea In discharging bis official duties. There Is a good outlook for the schools for the coming year. One new schoolhouse Is In the process of erection and four other rural districts aro planning to build before the year close. Another district has bought a building and Is remodeling It tor school purposes, and another Is over hauling tbo present building, repair ing and painting It. At tho County School Superinten dents' convention and the State Teachers' csoclatlon resolutions were passed In lino with tho sugges tions of Superintendent Ackcrman that three things bo especially cm phaslted this )ear: better work In spelling, better ventilation and san itation, and more thoroughness. The Klamath county schools will un doubtedly fall In line with these sug gestions. The annual teachers' Institute will be held during the first week of No vember unless circumstance should chango tho plans. The visiting In structors expected will bo Superin tendent Ackerman, President Itess ler and Prof. L. It. Alderman of the University of Oregon. In addition, plans aro being matured for having somo demonstration work done by the teachers of the primary depart ment of tho Klamath Falls schools. Superintendent Swan baa discov ered a lack of uniformity In the re ports of the district clerks In regard to outstanding warrant. Some have reported the outstanding warrants as disbursements, other have not re ported them. Ho la preparing a let ter to tne clerks In which be will In struct them not to report anything but the actual cash disbursements. If there are outstanding warrants tboy aro not to be Included In the disbursements for tbe year. He will also call attention to the evident practice of some clerks of paying out money without a warrant drawn on them. They do this at their own risk, and aro llablo for the amount unless they ho tho paid warrants as vouchers to show for the pay muni. When tho director examine and approve tho clerk' book they should check them irom tnese voucn crs and no pajment should bo ap proved without tho voucher or a reasonable, excuto for Its absence. Tho practice of paying without war rants has resulted In several cases of mistakes In tho reports. Teachers examination win orgin In the High School building August 11th.

Just before the Hermans began the siege of Parts the count went to bed, and tbe servant, true to bis Injunctions, said nothing of the events going on around bins. One day the bread proved so bad tbe count demanded au explanation, whereby, of course, he learned that Paris waa en compassed by the enemy. Springing out of bed. tbe count paced the floor, repeating. SWhat should a Bertrand do under such clrcutnatancear' Sud denly be stopped, exclaiming, "We should go to bedl" and to bed be went and stayed there until tbe siege was over. Willi Objects.
