There are tllty tturJeuta, primers lo fourth readers. read-ers. A tax of 1 percent was collected for school purposes, but was insufficient. insuffi-cient. The branches taught in all of the district schools are reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic grammar aud geography. For primary students, great attention is paid to black-board work. Bimple lessons in arithmetic, grammar and writing arc always kepi in sight of the pupile, so that they may be constantly employed. An excellent system of spelling, quite commonly adopted here, is to dictate words from any of the text books used, having no regular speller, One day words will be selected from the reading lesson, next day from geography, then Irem grammar, and arithmetic, and occasionally local names of persons and places with which tbe student should be familiar . In this way the pupils learn to spell words which they trtquently use and which are of greatest value; and also learn to notice the spelling ol words as they read. In other respects the method of instruction does not difier materially from the common mode, though there is a commendable desire to make all the teaching practical prac-tical to show why and where the knowledge can be applied. During the last two years an cflort h boon made to grade the schools, and has been fairly successful. The new methods meth-ods ara proving to be their own advocates, as the work accomplished is much better than before. From what we know of other portions of the territory, Cache county is not behind be-hind in educational advancement, though we do not expect comparison with oalt Liate. &. oriel review oi the above (acts, shows that there arej tbirty two achools twenty-eight die- j trict, three private and one mission; these employ tbirty eight teachers, twenty men, eighteen women thirty-three thirty-three in district schools, three in private and two in mission; there are about 1880 students enrolled. Of these numbers Logan has ten achools, twelve teachers, four men, eight women, and about 577 Btudents. This report is not to be accepted as an average. During the wiuterterm of three or four months the schools are always well filled, but in other seasons sea-sons the attendance lessens at least one-half. The late spell of fine weather has had its eSect and already vouog men are leaving study to go into tbe fields. Under Buch circum stances it is impossible to secure the best results. But without being discouraged by present conditions, there is a stimulus to persevere, perse-vere, in the satisfaction ol seeing the young people advance toward that stale in which they can be most ; .useful. The county is divided into eighteen school districts, fourteen of which are fully organized, each one having three trusteeB. The other educational edu-cational officers of the county, are, Ida I. Cook, superintendent of district dis-trict schools; William H. Apperley, James A. Loisbman and Joseph E. Hyde, board of examinera. Amateue. Logan, March 12th, 1878.
