400 HISTORY OF VERNON COUNTY. State superintendent. Others have in part tried it. The difficulties in the way are numerous, but persevering teachers are overcoming them. The list of studies as prescribed by the State is as follows : Orthoepy, orthography, reading, penman¬ ship, arithmetic, grammar, geography, United States history, civil government, and theory and art of teaching. In these, third grade ap¬ plicants are examined. In addition, for second grade, candidates are examined in elementary algebra, higher grammar, physical geography and physiology. For first grade, in addition thereto, higher algebra, geometry and natural philosophy or physics. But few of the teachers have obtained first grade certificates, and of these few the males preponderate. A larger number obtain second grade, and these certificates are held almost wholly by females. A teachers' association has been held at Ontario during the winter. The state of the roads and the distance to available points are such as to make such gatherings less frequent and more sparsely attended than they ought to be." It is to be hoped they will in time be more numerous and better attended than they are now. Ray's and Robinson's arithmetics ; McGuf¬ fey's, Sander's and the Union readers ; Mon- teith's. Harper's, and Swinton's geographies; Kerl's, Harvey's and Swinton's grammars, have of late been the popular text books in the county : yet of late, too, Appleton's series, especially the reader, is working its way into the schools. So, also, is Fish's arithmetic and Olney's algebra. Evan's little work on geom¬ etry is growing into favor in the high and graded schools. One thousand dollars and twenty cents has been expended in private schools during the year, the whole for teachers' wages. There are nineteen of these schools. The expenditure over any former year in amount of outlay for teachers' wages is upward of $6,000 while that of amount total for school purposes is $10,000 to $10,500. The extra cost of school buildings the past year, excluding any other year, is some $6,000 to $7,000. The county having spent $11,322 for building dur¬ ing the last year.
