The discus sion by Superintendent Mi.'Mulian em phasizes the very groat importance of iKitter supervision a** to tho) alu qua non" of good country schools. 11o goea vary fully Into the subject and makes comparisons and nrgutnuniH which are very suggestive and convincing. Tho statistical report 1h of a moat comprehensive ?md elaborate chiractor, /One table shows facts about each in dividual school district in the State, ?jujmh/sr of school houses, number of pnplls?tQ .gchool and to teacher, ajid the name of tho chair man of tho board of trustees; also greatest number o fmtles tlio chlldrdjp rt1f'0 to walk to school in oach diHtriel. is>ther table gives an itoavized state Sit of tho receipts and disbursement* of each school district In tho State, with average amount paid to teachers. These two tables were in. the first report of Superintendent McMahnn have been made In them and tho name of the chairman of the board of trus tees of each district has been added. These facts are given complete for tho whole State, with the exception of Ker shaw and Marlboro whose county superintendents failed to send in tho! required facts for the financial report. Resides this and tho usual tables, tho report has several new features In the way of statistics. There is n table about the mill schools In the Stato . It gives the unmber of operatives Jn.Alio mill, with ?tho unmber of chlviien un-, der 10 working in the mill, the unir' "6^ of children in the school, togetlv*' the amount of money given-' ? authorities for the supij, &?> "~ schools. To these arV^i ^ & very ablo discussions $n < . r - mill schools by ihe niul o4?*V i? ', - Other very interesting fcafvis^/:~;-j reports of the 'town schools and of the institutions of higher education. These reports are by far the most elaborato reports of such schools efer attempted in the State. The, town ec-f^xd report shows the number/aity pupll^, girls and boys, white and colored# average at tendance, estima/icd school population, num/ber of teachers, average salary paid to men and women, salary of the superintendent, number of hours per week he gives respectively to super vision and class work, the value ofthe building, i, furniture, apparatus, etc.", name of tho superintendent and the chairman of the board of trustees, to gether with a number of other Inter esting facts. The college report, shows name of president, nuber of faculty, men and women, the enrollment, boys and girls, ?the number of the various kinds of students, the endowment*,, income, etc. The summer schools occupy a consid erable part of this report. Not only are these facts interesting, but Super intendment McMahan in his discussion on the subject makes them the basis of his plea for* the bettor supervision of 4he schools. He considers that tho establishment of the summer schools is a step towards the improvement of the teachers and the recognition of the need of an expert in each county to instruct the teachers and look after the intrests of the schools from a pro fessional standpoint.

Sixteenth Day.?Repr?' entativo IIop K:us. chairman of the eommlfcteo on treusiis, filed In the House the .majority report ou the re-apportionment bill re ported by his committee. fixing the membership of the House for the next fle.eaile at 357. Representative Bur leigh, of Maine, filed a majority report signed by six members In favor of a Ilous-e to be composed of 386 members, nnd Hepreaent&tlvo {J?rumpacker, of Indiana, who signed the Burleigh re port. also submitted an Independent report in favor of reducing the ropre lontatlon In the Southern State* to the extent of tho abridgement of the suf frage. His independent report favors a House to be composed of 374 mem bers. Mr. Hopkins, in tho majority report, cites many lnsrtanoes td show that tlie loss of seats by States under reapportionment bills was not un common. Maseachusett?, for Instance, which,* under the third ctn^us had 20 members, was reduced t?MlO under the sixth, seventh and eighth, and Virgln It, whlh had twenty-three In the third, had but nine under the ninth. The report says the committee followed the ^>lnn adopted under the sixth census and follo^d continuously since. It has tho sflfnotion and apprcufel of 60 years of natlonsti. exl8ten.ee. The plan Is to divide tho constitutional popula tion by 357, the proposed membership. The quotient 208,S68, is the* ratio of representatives to population. This applied to the rato of population each State will yield in tho aggregate a number somewhat less than 357, the number determined upon as the mem bership of the House. Tho difference Is^a'de up by assigning to the States having the largest major fractions ad ditional representatives, until a suffi cient number having been assigned to bnng the total up to 357. A m?mbir* ship of more than 367, -the report says, would make the House unwleldly. Seventeenth Day.?The Housu v.n Ir session only 25 minutes, when it ad journod out of respect to the memory of Representative Wise, of Vlrinla.
