Of the one hundred and fourteen teachers employed in this district during the summer, one hundred and seven have submitted monthly reports. By thus learning the condition of schools each month, opportunity has been afforded to make suggestions to teachers by communicating with thein at once if necessary. Although some of the reports have not been received as early as 1 could have wish ed, still I have no doubt they have been made aa promptly as circumstances would permit." No further reports will be required until November. During the summer one hundred and seven visits to' schools have been made.

But very little good comes of schools during this season. It is to bo regretted that some of the best teachers are accepting calls to go out of this district to teach1, because they can do better elsewhere. Certainly, this should not be allowed.
