REPORT

OF THE

COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,

BUREAU OF EDUCATION, Washington, D. C., September 30, 1886.

SIR: In consideration of the fact that the work covered by the year ending June 30, 1886, was done under the supervision and direction of my predecessor, Hon. John Eaton, and that I entered upon the duties of the office after its expiration, I requested him to prepare the report of the operations of the office for the period called for by your letter of the 5th of August, 1886.

In accordance with my request, this has been very kindly done by him, and I have the honor of transmitting herewith a copy of the same. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, N. H. R. DAWSON, Commissioner.

The SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR,

Washington, D. C.

REPORT OF HON. JOHN EATON.

SIR: I desire to call attention to the central and conservative relation of education to the welfare of the citizen and the progress of public affairs in a republic, and to acknowledge that the delicate and farreaching responsibility imposed upon the office of Commissioner of Education by law is, as far as means are furnished, to ascertain and set forth whether we are doing enough for education or not. I have endeavored to set education in its true relation, to collect and set forth its facts, and thus to enable the citizen and statesman to judge, first, whether we are working by good or bad methods, and, second, whether our preparation of our youth for their duties in the future is keeping pace with the increase of the responsibilities to fall upon them. Will they be prepared, or a majority of them, so to understand the problems of their generation as to transmit our free institutions, not impaired, but improved, to their descendants?

In order to set forth the necessary data, I report in form for comparison the statistics of attendance and expenditure in each of the several States and Territories; in each of 260 cities; in all of the 250 normal schools, public and private, city, county, and State; in the 220 colleges for education in business; in each of 1,600 institutions for secondary instruction, public and private, known as preparatory schools, high schools, academies, and seminaries; in all of the 750 institutions for superior
