Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of Montana, 1954 This is the third biennial report since I first took office. The first report in 1950 told of the func tions and services of the divisions of the State Department of Public Instruction, while the second report in 1952 went more into detail as to what is being done in our schools, the financing of our schools, and school construction. In this report we hope to elaborate on the following three phases of our educational system in Montana. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of Montana, 1950 Another attempt to spread the cost of education over a wider tax base and make the people who use the schools support them, was provided for by. The Legislative Assembly in 1947 when it passed the high school district bill. According to this law, two or more common school districts could organize as a high school district for the purpose of bonding for a new high school building. This was further extended in 1949 with an amendment which provided that this newly formed high school district could also be levied upon for the operation and maintenance of the high school.

Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of Montana, 1952 This Biennial Report employs a different approach from the one used in 1950. In the latter report, which was the first one issued by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction for a num ber of years, an attempt was made to enumerate and describe the functions and services of the State Department of Public Instruction. That report can be used as a reference volume of the State Department of Public Instruction and on the fundamental functions of state school administration for a good many years to come.

Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, State of Montana, 1908 The school census of 1907 shows 73,269 children of school age, of which number 36,895 were boys and 36,374 were girls. The whole number enrolled during the year was 50,516 and the average daily attendance was 34,699. In 1906 the school census was 72,498, the number enrolled 48,744, and the daily attendance was 34,738. It will be seen that the comparison is not encouraging for general education. There is an increase in the census and an increase in the enrollment but a decrease in the average daily attendance. Montana can never achieve for education what she ought to achieve until there is a larger enrollment of census school children and a larger daily attendance. The compulsory school law should be so amended that the two and a half mile limit should not be a subterfuge for allowing children to remain away from school. Furthermore, the boards of trustees should insist on the provisions of the compulsory school law being carried out to the letter. Children of school age should be compelled to attend school until they have completed the elementary school or have attained to the age of sixteen. During the year 39 new school houses were built. Carbon county built 13. The value of school houses and sites is given at $3,645,343. There were 501 normal graduates and 154 college graduates employed in the schools. The whole number of teachers employed was 1,787,222 being men and 1,565 women. The average salary for male teachers was $85 per month and for female teachers $57 per month. There was paid in teachers' wages $1,033,560, for libraries $14,371.85. for apparatus $25, 349.24. The expense for all school purposes was $1,702,425.64. The census for 1908 shows 77,039 children of school age, 38,830 boys and 38,309 girls. The whole number enrolled was 56,637, and the average daily attendance was 35,422. In 1907 68.6 per cent of the number of census children were in school daily. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
