COUNTY SCHOOLSHAVE LARGE

ATTENDANCEReport of County Superintendent Geo.

A. Varney Shows Fine Conditionof Schools.

The following items are taken fromthe annual report of County Superin-tendent George A. Varney made tothe State Superintendent of PublicInstruction for the year ending June30, 1916.

This report relates to all the publicschools in Wood county, outside thecities of Marshfield and Grand Rapids:

In the territory under the jurisdic-tion of the County Superintendentthere were on June 30, 1916, 7541 per-sons of school age as compared with7557 the previous year. Of this num-ber there were 3673 7 years of ageand less than 14, and 934, 14 years ofage and less than 16. There were 91rural schools, 12 State graded schoolsand two high schools, making a totalof 105 schools with 142 teachers incharge of them.

The enrollment in these schools dur-ing the year ending June 30, 1916,was as follows: Rural schools 2558;Graded Schools 967; Grades below theHigh School 395, and High School 63,making a total enrollment of 3983.

The total number of days attend-ance by all children were as follows:Rural Schools 318,586; daily average1824; State Graded Schools 136,275,average daily atendance 771%; gradesbelow the High School 56,601, averagedaily atendance 322; High School9,794, average daily attendance 56.This makes a grand total of 521,256days attendance by all children and anaverage daily attendance of 2973%.

When it is remembered that theschool age includes all persons 4 yearsof age and less than 20, and that alarge number of students from therural districts are atending HighSchool in both Grand Rapids andMarshfield, a record of whose attend-ance is not filed in the County Super-intendent's office, and when it is alsocalled to mind that there are nearly800 attending parochial schools in thecounty outside of Marshfield andGrand Rapids, it will be readily seenthat the attendance in the publicschools under the jurisdiction of theCounty Superintendent is very grati-fying indeed, and speaks well for thework being done by the teachers inthese schools.

For the year ending June 30, 1916,it cost $57,662.41 to maintain the ruralschools in this jurisdiction; $62,133 tomaintain the State Graded schools,and $22,548.19 to maintain the HighSchools and Grades below the HighSchool.

The average yearly salary of maleteachers in the rural schools was $523;in the graded schools $717, in thehigh schools $1225.

The average yearly salary of femaleteachers in the rural schools was $374,in the state graded school $465; inhigh schools and grades below thehigh school, $539.
