Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: For the Year Ending June 4, 1888 To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit, in compliance with the requirements of law, the annual report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the year ending June 4, 1888. Comparative Statistics. The number of schools in the Commonwealth is now twenty-one thousand three hundred and forty-two (21, 342), an increase of two hundred and eighty (280) since last year´s report. The average length of school term, exclusive of Philadelphia, whose schools are open ten months, is now, in months, 7.17, a large increase over the record of last year, which was 6.71. This, is one of the good results of the recent law which made the minimum term six months. It has added almost half a month to our school term, the benefits of which, both to teachers and children, are beyond question. The number of teachers, exclusive of Philadelphia, is now twenty-one thousand one hundred and sixty-eight (21,168); males, eight thousand nine hundred and fifteen (8,915); females, twelve thousand two hundred and fifty-three (12,253), a decrease of three hundred and thirteen (313). At first glance this may seem to indicate a more crowded condition of our schools, inasmuch as the number of teachers has decreased and the number of pupils increased. But this decrease of teachers is owing to the fact that our two term districts (where the winter school is taught by one teacher and the summer school by another) are rapidly passing away. This is encouraging, for all such districts, of necessity, waste much time and effort, and ought to do away with the custom as soon as possible. The average salary of teachers, exclusive of Philadelphia, is now, for males, thirty-seven dollars and twelve cents ($37.12), and for females, twenty-nine dollars and sixty cents ($29.60). Many predicted a large decrease in teacher´s salaries, fearing that many districts, on account of the addition of term time, might deduct a portion of the increased expense from the teacher´s wages. Our directors, however, as we confidently expected, have proved themselves above any such mercenary spirit; and it is a matter of just pride, that there never has been so large an increase of money paid to teachers as during the very time when it was predicted there would be a falling off.
