B. Groodhue, Hon. John Sering, Rev. R. Ransom, A. Andrews, Esq., C. P. J. Arion, M. A. H. Niles, Hon. Williamson Dunn, James (Joodhue, Esq., Hon. John Dumont, Rev. S. Gregg, Rev. J. T. Wells, and Jesse Mavity ; Corresponding Secretary, Rev. J. U. Parsons ; Recording Secre- tary, Rev. J. H. Johnston; Treasurer, Dr. John Howes. There were speeches by N. B. Palmer and John Dumont, but the most interesting feature was the report from Parsons, who had been making some investi- gations. Among other t...hings, he reported: ''In nine townships from which a full tabular report was returned, containing about 3,000 children between 5 and 15 years of age, only 919 attended school last year, and the larger part of those for three months only. But one in six are able to read; one in nine to write; one in sixteen have studied arithmetic; one in one hundred geography, and one in one hundred and forty-five grammar. By an interesting document received from Judge Parks of Salem, the persevering friend of common education, we are informed that in the three counties of Washington, Jackson and Lawrence, con- taining a population of 27,000, only 1,521 attend school in sunmier, and 2,433 in winter." As to the character of the teachers, many of whom were reported as dissipated, profane, or immoral, he waxed eloquent, saying: ''Let the drunkard stand in the sacred desk and sport with God's truth, but let not his tainted breath sweep over my children.
