We publish below the annual report of the schell commissioner of Charleston County. forTSe school year ending June 30,1S71, lately submitted to the State superintendent of education. The statistical tables accompany? ing the reports are too voluminous for our columns. We hare collated the following laets, which will be of interest to the general reader. The City of Charleston, by the act passed at the last session of the Legislature, has been removed trom the jurisdiction of the , coun'y s;hool commissioner, and the statis? tics here presented are lor the county, exclu? sive ol the city. Charleston County contains 1886 square mile?, and ls divided into sixteen school dis f tricts. SCHOLASTIC rOPTTL ATION. White males between 6 and 16 years... 917 White females between 6 and 16 years.

Upon assuming charge of the office oo the 1st January ultimo, I found I De school fund entirely exhausted, and a noir i nal de ot of over ten thousand dollars, due or said to be due to parties in the county , for services rendered. $7467 of this amount I ! was lor the pay of teachers; $2342 50 tor school houses, supposed to have been erected In I, dlfiVreut parts of the county, and the balance , for sundry expenses of the school commis- ] "-?oner's office. This debt existed In the shape I of "pay certificates" drawn by the school I j commissioner upon the county treasurer, many of which, I learned upon Inquiry, bau | j passed into toe hands of the lormer and Bun-1, dry otb-j parties, by purchase, at discounts , varying from 25 to 60 percent upon their face I, value, according to th-- Ignorance or neceasl- , tous condition of the parties in whose favor I, they were drawo. Some of the persons tot, whom this money was said to be due. , ut on belog questioned, had never seen I, their pay certificates, and had certainly never j received any such amounts as those ceri i ti cates called for. In one case where a claim had been allowed for erecting echooi-houses of over $1600, I was informed by the person I in whose favor the pay certificate was drawn that he had no such claim against the county, and to this day the school trustees for the dis? tricts io which these houses were said io have been built have never been able to find but one I of them, and that in n unfinished state. I ? In another Instance a co'ored teacher on one J ? of Lb? nelghbotiog Islands received from the I \ lat-Crbool commlr8!ooer thirty-seven 50-100 I dollars for three months' services. The sgree-1 j meot made with bim was for twenty-five dol-1 ? lars per mooth, or seventy-five dollars for the I ? qnaiter. Not satisfied with the heavy discouLt ci' fifty per cent, for cashing the claim, the I, s:hool commissioner drew a pay cettiflcate in favor of said teacher for two hundred and , fifty dollars, and drew that amount from the ! county treasurer. Out of two hundred and fifty dollars thus expended by the State for educa-1 tiona! purposes, the official charged with the expenditure ol this lund aporoprlated n him $212 50. paying the poor teachers but $37 50 This is the worst case which has come under I my observation, but there are numerous In? stances where the county has been mulcted of large sums, in the name of parties who never received the money, and wno know nothing of the existence oi the certificates drawn in their names until informed by myself. Alto? gether I doubt whether the board of "county com miss'oners" of this county, who have won BO unenviable a notoriety, can be Justly charg? ed with any greater frauds than have been perpetfkted in this office. If our sister coun? ties have suffered In the same way, thousands of dollars must have been illegally taken from the State treasury, by tba very parties whose duty lt was to watch most rigorously over Its expenditure. J Finding myself much embarrassed by 'his disgraceful condition ol affairs, I Immediately determined not to authorize the opening of I any more schools in the county, or to add In any way to the indebtedness ol the office, until the Legislature had made an appropriation lor school purposes, and I had an opportunity ol determining how much work could be attempt? ed; devoting myself meanwhile to collecting in formation In reference to the wants of the county and maturing some plan of operations. I With this end in view. I divided the county j into sixteen school disti.ots, the numbers and ? boundaries of which correspond with the num.- , bers and boundaries ol the several townships 11 into which the county was divided a year or ; two ago. I also entered into correspondence j with gentlemen in the several districts, with , the view of inducing them to act as school i trustee?, and of learning the educational ne- , cesslties ol the people. The county board of , examiners was also organized and prepared < for t he examination of any persons who might I desire to offer themselves as candidates for i positions in the county schools. On the 6th ol' March last, the Governor of the State approved the act amendatory of the j echoed act passed last year, which went imme? diately into operation. It was sometime be? fore a copy oi this act could be obtained, and, in the meanwhile, the Legislature bad appro? priated $150.000 lor educational purposes, and adjourned. AS soon as a copy ol the act teas procured, the board of examiners met and proceeded to organize the Behool districts, by the appoint? ment of three school trustees in each. This : duty has been performed with an eye single to the interests of the several districts, and the board think they have succeeded in en Ii ting the sympathy and active cc-operation of many of the most intelligent and Influential citizens of the county. Their names will be found appended to this report. Their appoint? ments date from the 8th of April ultimo, and hold good lor two years Irom that date. On the 3d of May I received a letter from the State superintendent of eduction, Informing me that ne had apportioned the school appro? priation among the several counties of the State, and that Charleston County (outsideof the city) was entitled to $9953 75, and that that amount had been placed in the hands of the treasurer ol" this county, subject to the drafts of the various herds ol school trustees. I immediately divided the said amounts among the several school districts of the county, in proportion to the number of children ol school age in each district, as the law directed, noti? fied the boards of trustees of the amounis to the credit ot each, and directed the schools to bs reopened as soon as teachers could be procured, and Buch changes made as the ne? cessities of the case seemed to require. This J call was promptly responded to, and In many ot the districts the Bcho^'s were reopened, and are now in operation, except in those districts which have exhausted their share of the appropriai ion. Much difficulty has been experienced by the trustees in securing teachers. Many of those now employed in this capacity have never enjoyed any opportunity of preparing them? selves for the duties of their rrofeBsion. and although willing and anxious to discharge Ihair duties acceptably, are entirely lncom pjrent. This is a difficulty of great magnitude, and one which seems to me, more than any other, to claim the attention ol the Legisla? ture. Some provision must at once be made for the education of teachers. These we must have or the whole educational system of the State come to naught. We need in this coun h 1 ty alone at least one hundred good teachers of tue primary branches-teachers who, having enioyed the advantages of a course of study in some Institution devoted to the preparation of teachers, may be able to carry to their work the experience and knowledge they have themselves acquired. This necessity cannot of course be met all at once, but there ?3 no time tor delav, and the work should be com? menced immediately. Establish forthwith in each county town in the State a school which, while lt devotes itself to the education of the youth of the county, should have attached to it one or more classes for the preparation of teachers. Persons desirous of Atting them? selves tor that profession should be received within its doors, and afforded the oppor? tunity not only of gaining knowledge, but of learning how to impart that knowledge to others. These schools should be placed in buildings erected expressly for that purpose, and presided over by none but competent teachers. They should be provided with all the modern improvements and appli? ances of education, and the pupils taught, by every day experience, the advantages gained by their use. These schools would in effect be the model schools lor their respective counties, and would, in a few years, supply the great want which now exists for primay teachers, and would create a demand tor higher institu? tions ot learning, which could then be supplied. I believe the demand lor teachers of the high? er grades does not, at present, exceed the sup? ply, and that our great need is for teachers who are competent to give instruction in the lower branches ol education. These are the persons who must lay the foundation stones in the education of our people, and unless they oe tried and trained workmen how can that foundation be properly laid ? Ignorance is the true source ol the untold evils from which we are now suffering, and education alone can deliver us from them. If prosperity and hap? piness are ever again to revisit our State, the masses ot our people must be enlightened. Much has been said by persons who know little or nothing ol the matter of the extrava? gant pay of school commissioners, and these officials seem to have been singled out for abuse in all parts of tne State. Much of this mtv be deserved, but the difficulty does not s jem to me to lie so much in the officiait as in the herculean task with which they are Ch irged, and the inadequate means placed at their disposal for accomplishing it. Many will doubtless be surprised to learn that the amount of money appropriated for Behool purposes by the Legislature at its last session amounts to just eighty-three cents for every child ol school age. The average cost ol education in the primary schools of this city, where it is reduced to a very low figure, is about seven dollars and fitly cents per scholar, Just about niue times as much as the school commission? ers of the various counties In the State have been allowed for the task devolved upon them. I am satisfied that the office could be made of great benefit to the State, if some plan was adopted by which lt could be Ailed only by ( competent persons. The people In their pres- 1 ent condition are certainly not the persons t upon whom should devolve the duty or select? ing this officer, and, until some change in the constitution can be effected, lt would perhaps > be wise to suspend the payment of salaries lo t the school commissioners, and thus dispense , with their services. This would add thirty- : two thousand dollars to the educational fund, ? which might be devoted to the erection of t one or more buildings in each county for the ' accommodation of the school recommended in another part of this report. In compliance with the provisions of the school law, meetings of '.he Inhabitants of the t several school districts tare been held, and a school tax levied, to supplement the State ap- 1 propriatlons. At all ol these meetings (so far 1 islam lnlormed,) a majority ol the persons present were colored, and they have exhibited - their Interest in the education of their cbi' dren by taxing themselves, in most cases, one r dollar for each male inhabitant over twenty- c one years of age. It proper effort ls made to collect this tax, I apprehend that lt will be cheerfully and readily paid, and a very consid? erable sum realized towards the support of the schools. If it ls neglected, as the collection ot the poll tax has been, the fault will lie not c with the people, but with the State officials -, upon whom thia duty devolves. According to the last census, there Wt re In Charleston Coun- 1 ty, outside of the city, 13.971 males over I twenty-one years of ace. If the poll tax levied r by the Constitution of the State, and this tax levied by the Inhabitants themselves, were duly assessed and collected, lt would yield i a fund nearly if not quite sufficient j for the present necessities of the coun- . ty. This !s a burden wbidh none would fee', and which, extending as it would through ali ? classes of society, would develop an lnt-rest f in education which nothing else can do. More i han that, it would lead the people to examine more carefully into the expenditure of the money which each would feel he hid con- c tribu ed for a specific purpose, 'ihe property s of the S:ate (owned in a great measure by the c whlus) isalieady bu*dened wi*h taxation to an extent :ar bejbnd anything lt has ever been subjected to, and it would seem but Just that a tax of th!? kind, when in this county ii spent i alrr.03t entirely for the education of the col- , ored people, should in a measure, at any rate, be derived from them. c Section 4 of tue school act makes it the duty f of the State tupeiinieadent of education to t furnish the boards c f scho 1 mut?es with text cooks for the pu< i>. free of charge. More ? than six months have elapsed since the pas- I Buge ol' that act and no books have yet been mppied. The schools have suffered greatly fr??m this soiuc?. and lt is h ped the distribu? tion so anxious v expected mav not longer be ? delayed. t I cannot close this report without a refer- a ence to the deplorable condition of the educa? tional interests of Charleston City, once cele- 1 brated for her liberal and enlightened policy s in establishing and maintaining a system of t education second to none In the country. Her public schools, once the pride and boast of her citizens, are now aid closed. Mote thar* three thousand children, who once filled her spa? cious and elegant school-houses, are thrown v upon the streets, many of them losing the . precious hours of youth, and growing up in J ignorance and vice. What a sad commen- t tary upon the government which bas brought all this to pass. By some strange and criminal inadvertence, the bill passed~bylbe Legisla? ture, al its last session, made no provision | ( for levying a tax In the city for school pur? poses until the board of school commis? stoners therein provided tor could be elected, raia was to take place at t be regular muni- 1 cipal election in August last, and, in the mean- t while, no. provision whatever was made for c the expenses of the schools beyond the Sa'e ippropriation, which was not more than sufficient to keep the schools open for three mcrj'.bs. This was soon exhausted, and after | a many vain attempts to secure assistance <trom other sources the board reluctantiy concluded to suspend the schools on the 30ih June ulti? mo. Their Indebtedness to the teachers and | a others at that time amounted to over $18,000. Towards paying this debt the newly elected board hold an order for about $9000 on the State treasury, which waa issued several | t months ago, but which the treasurer has not yet been ab'e to pay. There ls also a bilauce of about $600 ia the hands ot the county 1 treasurer, and the entire poll-tax collected in | r the city amounting to. perhaps, $2009, leaving a balance of over $6000, which raii^t either be paid by the Legislature or remain an incubus upon the board for another year. I would re- I specifully request that the attention of the ? Legislature be directed to the deficiency, and that they be requested to make some provi? sion lor th?? same. c The elect iou in August resulted in the choice of a board of commissioners In every way flt- { ted for the high and responsible duty with - which they are charged. At its head 6tands 1 the name of C. G. Memminger, so long and t prominently identified with the educational institutions of our city and State, and the character ol the individual members ol the board is sufficient guarantee that the educa- | ( tional interests will not suffer in their hands. The board have resolved to reopen the schools on the first of January next, and trust to the Legislature to relieve them from their present " embarrassments, and provide the means for i carryiBg on the schools during the coming ] year. A tax wiii be levied upon the citizens, and it Is hoped no lurther interruption will be felt. 1 I must not fill to acknowledge the hand- ] some donation ol $2000 received on the 6th of ( last February lrom the trustees of the Pea? body Educational Fund, through Rev. B. 1 Sears, general agent. This amount was a t special donation to the city schools, and reaching us as it did, at a time when our teachers were in great need, was doubly ac-1 1 ceptable. It was immediately paid to the teachers, and a.though the amount received I , by each was small, the relief afforded was most timely.
