Reports or County Scuoo. SurenJNTENDENTS-—The State Superintendent:
jn_his report says, in quite a Oumber the tothe State Saperintendest to perform, and
that io many cases when the figures were
put town the additions were made ia violation ty every rule of arithmetié. “In one te
port, out of thirty five columns of addition
“only eight were correct. “Mistakes are-com{tien -of the iron-elad fect before Charleston,
mon in giving the amount cf school moties.
Pie State School fund is apportioned to the
counties semi-annually, and it is the easiest
matter in the world to get the figures cvr‘pect and yet in thereturns only ficelne coun__ty Superintendents reported correctly. The
reports of the county Superintendents of .
Sacramento, Sonom®, Amador, San Francis@o, Marin, Stanislays, Tuolumne, and San
Mateo, only, are-named by him in the report
‘ge being in the main correct. The law proVides thut utless the county Superintendent . .
shall make a full and correct report as requir‘hy law he sball-furieit the sna of $100,
and the Board of Supervisors sre-required .
to deduct the amount from his salary. With“Sut correct reports from these officers it is
Ampossible to ascertain anything with regard
to the condition of the schools. The penalty
provided in tbe law should be rigidly infor-ced. How iw it possible to know that the
‘@unty ind State funds are properly used?
We would suggest that the school taster be
sent abroad among the enynty Superinten= .
tondents, or that the Legislature make pros
‘vision lor the-appointment ef a clerk who is
: capable of adding up a column of figures.
