There are 5216 volumes in these libraries, valued at $3,279 75. The total amount paid for teachers wages last year was $56,438.40; average salary of male teavhers per month $43.70; average salary of female teachers per month $33 40; general average $35.60. The female teachers out number the male teachers in the county more than 2 tol. There are 8 school houses valued at less than $300; 70 valued at from $300 to $600; and 65 valued at more than $600. The estimated value of school property in the coun- ty is $175, $710. The average rate of levy for school purposes is 51.40 cents on the $100 valuation, Bates county is in the lead educa- tionally with the best counties in the tate, except with _those—that— had county supervision for several years, as St. Louis, Jackson, Pettis, and perhaps some others counties. There are some localties in the coun- ty. however, where'the school tacil!- ties and the schoo! sentiment are not what they ought to be. Aclosestudy of the State Superintendent’s last annual report shows that the efficl- ency of aschool is measured very large ly by the teachers salary, apparatus and equipment in the school room. The school children of this county are entitled to the best school advan- tages that can be obtained. It ts the duty of the people at the annual school meeting to provide ample méans to maintain an 8 or 9 months term of echool and to elect compe- tent school boards to direct the af- faire of the districte. These boards should exercise great care and judg- ment in selecting the most compe- tent and experienced teachers. Then, when school boards, patrons and teachers work together in harmouy for the general good, Bates county will take the lead in the proper edu- cation of her boys and girls for good citizenship.
