NEW BERNE, N. C, JUNE 13, 1882. Entered at the Post office at New Beme, N. C -as second-class matter. Hales and Females in United States. the , . ' - The Morman apostles make a plea for their religion on the ground that it gives every woman a cliance to get married assuming the ground that ' the females outnumber the males in this country. But such is not the case as a study of the con fins will show. ' The final figures of the population of the United States in 1880 give HO ,15G,8GG. The males outnumber t he females by 888,208 , -there be ing '25,620,582 males anil 24,032,284 females. It is a curious fact that in all nations where an exact record of births is made, the number of boys exceeds that of girls. The late civil war was very do strnctive of human life, and chiefly of men's lives. In 1870 the excess of, males was a little less than 430,000; hot the natural increase, and the tact that the number of male immigrants exceeds that of I the female, has added largely to the excess in ten years. . , While there is this gieatef: iiuin, ' ber of males in the whole country, it is a remarkable fact that in every State that liorders on ,the Atlantic Ocean or the Gnlf of Mexico, ex cepting Delaware, Florida, Missis sippi and Texas, the reverse is the case. Women, on the other hand, are in excess in no State not bor dering on the Ocean or the Gulf, except Tennessee. In. the northeastern States the excess of females is large. ; It is nearly ninety-five thousand in Xew England, seventy thousand in Xe'w York, and eleven thousand in New Jersey. In the newest States and territories, the proportion is quite the other way, for in the eight Western territories Washington, Idaho, Montana, Dakotah,, Wyo ming, Utah, New Mexico and Ari zona more than seven-twelfths of the population are males. . These facts are easily accounted for In the first place, the emigra tion of Eastern peojile westward is composed largely of young men. Secondly, the chances for employ ment for females are better in the Eastern States. The great factories of New England and New York employ girls and women by the thousand. There are probably more shop-girls employed in the stores of Boston or New York City than the entire female population of any of the territories named. The census of 1870 showed that more that thirty-six per cent, of all the women and girls employed in manufacturing in the United States resided in ,New England. AVhen New York and Pennsylvania were added, more than two-thirds of the whole were accounted for. : It is not simply that girls living in the East find occupation . at home : but there is an emigration of females to the places where their labor is in demand. Vermont loses voting men who go West, and it loses yonng women who go to New York or Massachusetts. In ten years it increased less than two thousand in population, and kept very nearly the same proportion of the sexes. Much sport has been made at times over the fact that in Massa chusetts the females were largely in excess.- This excess is growing. In 1870 there were 107,075 females to every 100,000 males. Now there fir? 137,035. If the chief end of vf o.nan is to be married, there are ' it: some 60,000 women in Massachu setts to whom life must be a failure unless they emigrate before it is too late for them to marry. T If however the matter be looked at philosophically, itW'iTbe Been that the excess is a -ultr of, the better chance that is giveiui OVo men in New England. Theic,;kbor is in demand. They ' take places that are elsewhere occupied by men. They live an independent life, so far as earning their own living is concerned: and if thev do not mar ry, they are not therefore forced to starve. The most evenly balanced State in the Union is Maine, where there are only 777 more women than men, outof a population of 050,000. The Territory where the sexes dif fer most is Montana, in which near ly three fourths of the population are males. County Superintendent's Report New Bekne, June 1, 1882. Gentlemen of the .Board of Educa tion of Craren , County :' Although the Annual Ronorr, in quired by law lias been forwarded to the State Superintendent of Pub lic instruction, 1 desire to supple ment that renort bv a, Ktntmnp.nr. made to your Honorable Bo.lmf the progress of public schools in Craven Comity for. t he last term now just coming to a close. I do this in order that the neonln m:iv ! properly informed concerning these important interests. Since enter ing upon (he duties of ConnK- Sn. perintendent 1 have examined (10 applicants tor teacher's '.place, '21 whites and ,10 colored. Several of these failed to im.ss an minimal examination, and several obtained certificates with the intention of teaching in other counties. We have operated 47 schools in thia county during the term, 18 white and 2!) colored. The Snnei ent found at the Ten start mi in sufficiency of conincteiit wliifo teachers for the count v. and hriiov. in.tr in the sunerioritv- ill' fimnln teachers tor small, uncduearml cliii dren, adopted the nl aging lairly eilucated ladies, de pendent upon their own. exertions lor a support, to undertake this woik. no is happy fo sav, that Jie was successful ' beyond his expectations. Several languish ing white schools in the county have thus been supplied with faithful, industrious teachers, nut-u.mv given complete satisfac tion to their natrons, and ltvtlm flat tering results achieved deserved tne -confidence and gratitude of the county. The Colored Norma lSnimni established in New Berne has proved a great benefit to the colored race, in as much as it lmt in frain tug an numirauie botly of teachers. ..'1..-V ........ J... II. .. v , ... . ' w" wfm io ineir scnoo s within crease l gratifications.- and Im,vb done a good work for education in the ranks of their neonlo T siuer it the proudest cause for con .... i i gratulation that, among the 47 teachers toilmsr under mr snnerri. sion in the county, no serious com piling nas been Drought against a single one, but all have labored laithlully, earnestly and successful ly for the advancement of their schools. Although connected nil my lite more or less with the cause of education, I have never before seen such rapid progress in learn ing, such fidelity and hard work on the part of teachers, subh complete satisfaction on the part of the pat rons, and such .wide Spread pros perity in our educational interests. Were it proper to do so, I could give the names of teachers, white and colored, who, with a pitiful salary, ha ve organized and operated schools which would reflect credit upon the most cultivated communi ties. '--The - Superintendent knows, that this is high praise. But he has made it a point to visit the schools, to examine tenchera hni scholars, to look into and correct the methods of teaehinr. and tn him the ground is no unknown re gion, lie lias liroceeded nnnn facts all the way, and has discarded every thine: that was not facts. The chief difficulty in our path was to place in the schools the books prescribed by the State Board of Education. The children had books, lmt they were of the wrong sort, were worn and in tat ters, and altogether unsuitable. We could not proceed without suit able books. The children ennlil tin bo arranged in classes, and without proper classification there could be no progress in learning. , I directed the teachers to make their first, struggle on this question They; did so, very faithfully and conscien-' tiously. The consequence was that we succeeded in having the most of the schools reasonably supplied, and with the formation of classes the work oi improvement began in i earnest. I directed that the last j month of the school term should be . taken up with reviewing, the last two days with a public examina tion, and that the session Khnnhl terminate with ddsinr? exercises nf t reading, declamation, etc. :Thcse! instructions nave generally been carried out, and in many cases with much applause and permanent utility- The increased attendance of pupils has been one of the marked circumstances of this ses sion. In this township the increase has been over 50 per cent., and very largely over 25 per cent. mi uuu me wuom county. ve need, however, more and' better isciiooi nouses, anu, a tne excellent school committees now in office shall redeem their promise to me. we shall havo between fifteen and twenty school houses erected this year. The school committee of the btu township have erected for the col- orcii race m tins city a school bund- mg, wmcn is an honor to the Com mittee and an ornament, to the e.itv The whole county might take pattern il11 4" t . 1 i. tL4nn i-Z- .. J ' nuns uinnuuve SUIllUllIt". Jlll educational interests have hereto fore suffered from the continual changing of teachers, and the irreg ular attendence of pupils. The first evil the Public School authorities can and will remedv: the. last can only be dealt with by the patrons ot the schools. Ave humbly sub mit, that that will in the end prove a costly crop, which has to be raised by taking the children out of school. The friends of edu cation in our citv entertain the hope of realizing at an early day the dreams which many have cherished of a more advanced and complete institution of learning in our midst. Thewhitenublicschools of New Berne, under two thorousrhlv competent and faithful teachers, have been a preeminent snccessthis year. But we are satisfied, that the County Superintendent and all his co-workers in common schools will heartily unite with all -other citizens in establishing a Graded School, if such a result shall be lound practicable.
