New London County the Worst, The worst instances of pedagogi cal ignorance came from New Lo Mr. Hine took no pleas g the conditions which existed in many of the district schools of the state and his only purpose was to open the eyes of the people by a statement of facts. He realized, an 50 diq others, that the instruction in many of the schools of the state had become a joke and that the only way to_improve it was to tell the truth. It was evident to Mr. Hine that the state was living In a foal's para- dise to regard to the system which passed, in some towns, for education. It may be said that the printing of the report had the desired effect. The sentiment in favor of correcting the evils of the achool system grew until it could be no longer ignored. Nearly 6,000 Teachers. There are 5,53¢ women and 333 men employed as teachers in the public schools of the state today. They are not all graduates of state normal schools; indeed, the four no schools 'do not graduate enough teach- ers to supply the demand of the towns. But the authorities find no difficulty in securing the 'services of high school graduates and of those who hold diplomas from higher insti- titions of learning. Secretary Hine says the teacher of today is at least educated in the branches which he or she is required to teach, and that is more than could be sald Of the teacher of a quarter of a century ago. Country Schools Better, Secretary Hine did not hesitate to assert that the country schools of today were better than _the city schools. In the former the ~puplls were taught what was necessary but without the frills. ~Mr. Hine said the children did not spend~ much time in nature studies, if they spent any at all. The children were all the time in close touch with nature in their daily lives, by living in the country, and it was, therefore, not necessary for them to give a part of their school hours to the study of na- ture. In the opinion of Secretary Hine the Sematey school children had a great advan! over those who lived in the citles since they were not compelled to spend their time in the gtudy of non-essentials or frins. In’ proof of the present efficlency of the schools in the country towns. Secretary Hine sald in practically all the high achools of the state and in those institutions which do the work of high schools for their communi- ties, the children from the country schools were admitted without e: amination, the certificate of the prin- cipal being considered a sufficient people of the state _the condition. of the QUAKER HILL CHURCH CALLS A PASTOR Invites Rev..Donald Fletoher, of Fitz- william, New H-mp-hlr‘. The members of the chtrch and congregation of’the Seconda. Baptist church of Quaker HIll Waterford, met after service on Sunday morning and voted to extend a call to Rev, Donald Fletcher of Fitzwilllam, N. H, who has preached two Sundays at _the church. Since the resignation of*Rev. Frank D. Luddington in May a num- ber of candidates have occupied the pulpit. Mr. Fletcher has a wife and two small children. Being a young man, it is the hope of the church that he will draw the young people in. The und v.ger Put on every room and electric ligl t'.lllddld to the many new equip- State Civil- Service.

It cannot be said, however, that the improvement in the system dated from that action of the general as- ‘and | sembly. The improvement had begun years before that, but the enactment of six years ago stimulated efforts to improve the schools and the stimula- Won was sustained by the work of the supervisors. Average Attendance Grant. In_considering the improvement in the district school system of the state the effect o the law establishing the average attendance grant should not be forgotten. Last year the amount of this grant, all of yhich went to the poorer towns of the state to enable them ‘to pay their teachers decent salaries, was $125,000. It removed from the ‘towns which recetved the grant the excuse for not paying bet- ter salaries to their teachers on the ground that they could not afford it on account of poverty. Average Salaries. It may be of interest to note that the average salary paid to male teachers in the state during the past year was $117.80 a month ‘and wo- men received on an average $61.68 each month the same time. This is the average for the entire state, and it _includes the comparatively high salaries paid the teachers in the ci- tles. Last year the salaries of the male teachers were greater than the amount paid during the previous year by $6.31 a month, and the women teachers received on an average $1.92 a month more than they received in 1913. It would be well if the figures here siven for average amount of compen- sation ,represented the salaries re- ceived 'by the teachers in the coun- try school. Twenty years ago the district school teachers were _paid, on an average, $6 a week or $25 a month for nine months of the year. The average rate now is about $47 a month for the school year. While it is gratifying to note this increase in the compensation for teaching schoolg in the country towns, it must said that even the increased rate does not make the position of teach- er in the country very attractive. School' Enumeration 276,348. There are In the state, 1,429 public schools with 5.433 rooms. The seat- ing capacity of these schools is 193,- 989 while the high schools of state have a seating capacity of 16,917, The enumeration of school children in the state is 276,348. The parochial and privats schools of the state have an attendance of 39,826, MADE WRECK OF ; HOUSE IN LEDYARD. Walter Cole Shoots Up Summer Home of H. E. Angel of Newark. The residence of H. E.
