MOi\'DAY. APRIL 21. 1899.

THE SCHUOL REPORT.

The annual report. of the Chief Sup-

erintendent of Elucntiiiii, which was submitted to the Legislature on Siaturday, ailbrds an interesting re- view of the work of education iii the Island during the past- year. In its general features the rcportis an eiicour- agiiig one. It shows an increase of one in the number of schools and school districts, of two in the number of school departments, and there are no vacant schools.

The number of teachers employed

was 581, an increase of two. There was an increase of 29 in the number of teachers of the first class, a de- crease of 15 teachers in -the second class and a decrease of 12 teachers in the third class. The number of male teachers, however, decreased by 12, coupled with an increase of 14 in the number of female teachers.

The number of pupils enrolled was

21,852, showing a very slight increase over the previous year, but the daily average attendance showed a gratify-

ing increase of 399-from 12,278 ini 1

1897 to 13.377 in 1898. This _in- crease raised the percentage of attend- ance of enrolled pupils to 61.58 which is the highest in our school history. In 1890 the percentage of attendance was but 55.43. Of course a number of schools made a much _better average of attendance last year than is above indicated, and the Superintendent gives alist of 14 schools making- 80

Bowring Brothers, . who filo iiiso local agents be e for the Canadian Steiiuiship (Iolnpiiliy. She was prevvi t d from coming to St. John’s by the dense fog prevailing. and from coiitiiot ,with icebergs. Tue Kite first. came in the neighbourhood of the Gas- pcsia about three weeks ago. but some days elapsed before she got to her. At the request of :lie captain of the Kite, he abandoned his voyage and took the Gasprsia in iow. The ice was very heavy, :and it was hard Work to get the ship tlirough, but he finally succeeded. When the Kite went to the Gaspcsia’s as-istiincc the latter was short of both coal and provisions,':ind a few days more would li'-ive meant starvation for those on b:~ard.

The wrecked vessel linfl received con-

siderable squcezing during detention iii the ice, some cf her frame timbers are badly broken and many of her beams smashed. Her rudder head is so gbroken that the vessel cannot be steered, so that she was practically a wreck when the Kite took her intow. The Gaspesia must be placed in the category cf a total wreck and an award uiade on the basis of the value of the, ship and cargo. flhe crew of the Kite will be paid as per the seal fishery agree- ment. that is one-third of the value between them.

Tells the story. When your head aches, and you feel bilious, consti- pated, and out of tune, with your stomach sour and no appetite, just buy a package of ‘

Hood’s Pills

And take a dose. from 1 to 4 pills. You will be surprised at how easily they will do their work, cure your headache _and biliousness, rouse the ‘ liver and make you feel happy again.
