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 average number of
days taught In each school this year
was 134.7 aa acalnst ISO last ear.
The total number of days' attendance
this year waa 143,432; last year 118.
511. The percentage of attendance
thla year waa 4.3 per cent The num
ber of teachers employed this year
waa (: last year . The number
of eighth grade diplomas Issued this
year waa 74; last year 40. 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.
The average salary of raalo teach
ers was $68.40; female, $58.25. 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
