Jm. ... w. .... but expenditures. Tho chool lat jrwr In order to maintain the length ol school that was thought neces sary encroached on tbU year s ap portionment In several Instances. There baa been an honest attempt to keep down expenses this year and hold tbcm within the apportionment, but It was Impossible In alt cases. Several districts bare resorted to special taxes and several hare gone abort ot WO amounts nceoea ua hare como out In debt. Thero Is a feeling In sereral parts of the county that the cornty fnnd should be some what Increased so that all tho prop erty pf the county would stand be hind all ot the schools ot the county. There aro now large areas In the county that aro not In any school dis trict. The tout number of children be tween the ages or four and twenty years reported this year Is 182S 811 boys and (47 girls. Last year lb number was 1,752. The total en rollment in the schools ot the county this year was 1,214 as against 1.0S last year. The average number of days taught In each school this year waa 13C.7 as against 150 last jear. Alia WW UUHIIRt VI 1MJ. th-uw,MVV this year was 142,432; last year 118. 511. The percentage of attendance this year was S4.J per cent. The num ber ol teachers employed tms year waa I: last year 64. The number of eighth grade diplomas Issued this year was 74; last year 40. The total receipts for school purposes this year were $40,005.11; last year $45. 48.44. The total disbursements this year were $17,144.45; last year $45.- O0Z.7S. mere u a casD balance tnis year ot 1I.J40.73. Part of this Is money received from the sale ot bonds and now being used for build ing; a part la special tax money. If all the outstanding warrants were de ducted the school funds would show a defldt. In spite of the fact that there baa been a less number ot days school taught this year than laat. Another fact that shows car on the part of the directors Is the large com parative amount paid to teachers this year. This year the teachers of Klam nth countr received $25, 510.52; last )ear 1:0,571.79, although the tutal disbursements wero more than 17, 000 greater last year than thla year. The average salary ot male teach ers was $68.40; female. $5(.25. The average satary In one-room schools was $40: average salary of princi pals. $95; of assistant teachers In buildings of more than one room. $01.15. The County Superlntehdent visited 30 ot the 32 districts of the county and traveled approximately 1,400 miles In discharging his oBdal duties. Theto 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 arc planning to build before the year closes. Another district haa bought a building and Is remodeling It for school purposes, and another Is over hauling the present building, repair ing and painting it. At tho County School Superinten dents' convention and the State Teachers' csoclatlon resolutions wero Dassed In line with the sugges tions ot Superintendent Ackcrman that three tilings do especially em phasised tMs year: better work In spelling, better ventilation and san itation, ana moro tnorougnness. I ne Klamath countr schools will un doubtedly fall In line with these suggestions. The annual teachers Institute lll be held during the first week of No vember unless circumstances should change tho plans. The visiting In structors expected will be Superin tendent Ackerman, President Mess ier and Prof. L. R. Alderman of tbe University ot Oregon. In addition, plans are being matured for having some demonstration work done by the teachers of tbe primary depart ment of the Klamath Falls schools. Superintendent Swan has discov ered a lack of uniformity In the re ports of the district clerks In regard to outstanding warrants. Some have reported the outstanding warrants as disbursements, others bare not re ported tbem. Ho is preparing a let ter to tne clerks in which be will In struct them not to report anything but the actual cash disbursements. It there are outstanding warrants they aro not to be Included In tbe disbursements for the year. He will also call attention to the evident practice ot some clerks of paying out money without a warrant drawn on them. They do this at their own risk, and are llablo for tbe amount unless they hate the paid warranta as vouchers to show for the pay ment. When tho directors examine and approve the clerk's books they should check them from these vouch ers and no pament should bo ap proved without the voucher or a reasonable excuse for Its absence. Tho practice of paying without war rants has resulted In several cases of mistakes In tho reports. Teachers' examination will begin In the High School building August 11th. Tho next olghth grade exam ination fclll occur September 3d and 3d. eccentric Ceunt Bsrtrsns. Count ttertrand. who 1 1 red In Part. a a cry eccentric mtu, and to one of hli eecentrldtles he ascribed his lousr life Ouit a year he would In take himself tn U-d and stay there for three months. On these occasions he nould see no one but bis servant, who brought him hi meals, and even him be forbade to speak. Just before the Germans began Ibe siege of Paris the count went to bed. and tbe servant, true to his Injunctions, said nothing of the events going on around him. One day the bread proved so bad tbe count demsrded an explanation, whereby. f course, be learned that Paris was en composed by the enemy. Springing out of bed. tbe count paced tbe door, repeating. sWnat should a Bertrand do under such ctrcumstaneeeT" Sud denly be stopped, exclaiming, "We should go to bed!" and to bed he went and flayed there until tbe siege was over.
