A Report Containing Hue*. Valuable
Information.
T|io report of the Slate superinten
dent"of education has gano lo piv* s
atvd la now bring worked upon by tho
Stiita printer. It Is a very elaborate
report and contains, besides the pre
sentation of tho statistics of. tho
schools, a tretioral rovkw of tho educa
tional ouiullUuois in tho Plate, present
ing In a condensed and well ordovol
maimer many facta, fcttuirou <uid fig
ures of overy kind and grade of school,
in the State, from penary school and
district school <o ??*?! 1 - university and
profession}'1 institution. 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.

Tho army re-organlxatlon bill was re

affairs.
In tho discussion of tho Chandler
locution, Air. .Tones, of Arkansas,
protested that the r solution waa a
rebuke to the committee. Mr. Chand

involved was sealing Of one Democrat
or another,
"If this is purely Democratic quar

[ Carolina, "then the. Senator's Interest
in tho matter is rather extraordinary.''
Seventeenth Day.?No business

Senate. The news of tlii

President pro teni. of ihe Senate, vas
j conveye<l officially to the body, ancj^
out of respret to her memory, It imme

HOI J SB.
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

Jones, of Virginia, who announ ;ed the
