It will be noticed that the average
length of term is much longer than last
year. It should be borne in mind that
the school year just closed was more
than 12 months long, extending from
March 4, 1901, to |une 13, 1902.
It should be favorably noticed tim t
quite an addition has been made to the
school libraries of the county. This is
encouraging as the value of a few well
selected library books in the hands of
the pupils cannot be over estimated.
The clerks' reports show that there
are 401 children not attending any
school. But it should he remembered
that but few children between the ages
of four and six years are admitted into
the schools, deducting these an excellent
record is shown.
There is a slight increase in the salary
paid male teachers, last year being
$39.06, and this year $40.15, while there
is a very slight decrease in the salary
paid female teachers, being $32.24 this
year to $32.29 last year.
