The following is a brief summary of my annual report to the Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, up to August 31st, 1874, which, with other school statistics I offer, may prove of some interest to your readers. 1 offer no comments upon the facts developed by these statistics, but would earnestly call the attention of parents and guardians of children to the truth that but about 50 per cent, of our school census children attend our publie schools. During the school year ending August 31st, 1874, we hail eight organized districts, with 707 children over 4 and under 21 years of age, and 287 children under 4 years of age. Ten schools were taught w ith 347 pupils en rolled. Twelve teachers (six males and six females) were employed, at an avenge salary of $84 each per month. The average length of school in all districts iu days was 105, Hel ena district being credited with an eight month term. The average cost of tuition for each pupil per month was $3.65 cents. Total value of school property in the countv w as 5ÿ],b(0. Tolul Vftluu nf «»Iwvd iUrtiiturf, apparatus, etc., $400. Total amount of funds received from .all sources and apportioned during the year was $7,556.12. Amount per capita of school census child ren $10.683. Three mills on the dollar were levied for school purposes last year. It may not be generally known that this county pays more tor the support of its poor than it does for the support of its public schools. During the present school year wc have ten organized districts, with 819 school cen sus children, an increase of 112 over last year, and 305 children under 4 years of age, a gain of 18 over last year. We can justly lay claim to the banner fam ily in the Territory. 3Ir. Hammonds, one of the Trustees of District No. 7, Park City, returns 10 children over •» and under 19 ycais of age. I would here state that nearly all of our suiiool houses arc built of logs, which ac- | counts for the very low estimate placed upon f portionments for the quarter ending Decern her 1st, 1874. to wit : To Helena No. 1...........
