While oomplahite bars ' made »r the dullness of all kinds of business, tbe schools of the State ' have made steady piogrees, aad their development and growth has been most satisfactory. The cost of pre- 1 paring werk for exhibition at the 1 will be about W.500. The : total amount appropriated to tbs ' support of public schools this year, exclutivo of that raised {for building ' aad repairing! purposes, is $1,769,- < against $1,691,180.29 last I This increase sf $71,136.06 is 1 ■a pretty good exhibit for a year dor- ' iog which there hae bejn a general ' shrinkage of values and s cutting down of nearly all sort* of public and 1 private expenditures. It illustrates 1 the (set, that whatever else happens, tbo public aeboels mu*t be kept in ' full blast. It demonstrates that chil- ' hare as good a right to an education that will give them a chance ' .in the world as they have to be born. 1 were nine hundred and forty- 1 six male teachers employed during the year, and two thousand three ' j hundred and seven females, the latter ' j increased bv fifty-seren.
