RECOMMENDATIONS BV SIPI. JOYNER.
The Present School Law Endorsed by the
Superintendent who says few Changes
Are Needed. Teacher's Institute and
County Superintendents
The biennial report of Superin
tendent J 1 Joym-r is out. It con
sists of a pHinphlft of niiH'ty-four
pages and eoiiLitiiis u coinplote it
view of eiluciitioiuil win!; in t In
state for the past few rears undcuu -fully
compiled statistical statements
showing tiie progress of the school's
considered in relation to former
years and as compared to educational
conditions existing in oilier States.
The statistical pi ogress made by
the school systems during the past
two years is of interest and was out
lished iu The Courier in its issue of
December 22nd, l'JU-l.
The recommendations of the sup
erintendent are as follows:
1. That there snail lie little inter
ference with the present School Law,
which 1 believejto lie the liest Public
School Liw that the State lias cur
had. People and tcliool ollicers are
beginning to become ,ic.iiainted v.nli
the law and familiar with its walk
ings. A few changes seem to be
necessary, but there should be no
radical changes. It will be wine to
seek to continue to progress along the
lines already inai ke I out by the
present School I.uw and to begin to
have u permanent educational policy.
2. That section So" of the School
Law be so amended a to reiiui'v the
appropriation of at lea-H two bun
dled dollars biennial!;.' b e eh coun
ty for condiicling one or more
teachers' institutes a' .1 summer
schools in that county for the reason
set forth in this report under the
heading '"Improvement of Teacheis."
;l. That the special appropriation
of two hundred thousand dollars for
the public schools be continued be
cause at piesent there is no hope of
getting a four niout lis school without
it, and the State cannot afford to per
mit the public school term to be de
creased. 4. That section 12 of the Public
School Law be so amended as to
make the term of ollice of the mem
bers ot the County ISuard of Educa
tion six years, so arranged that the
term of one mem her of the board
shall expire every two vears. liv re
taining a majority of old members on
the boald eaeli year tins will prevent
the possibility of a radical change in
the educational policy of the county
every two years.
5. Owing to the large increase iu
the cost of living and the rapid de
velopment of the work of the State
Department of Public Instruction,
necessarily accompanied !iy a gn-at
increase in the work of tile entire
clerical four of tile ollie", I recom
mend that the annual
clerk of the department

so amended as to take tin: appropria
tion of ten doliars for the rural lib
rary and the dollars for tin- ,-upple
mentarv library from the mantv
school fund instead of the di.-i
fund. This small part of the S
appropriation for the public scii
cannot in my opinion I,.- more
lv used, ihroiiu'li the continuation
of this comparatively small biennial
State uppropri;. lion for rural librar
ever putilie seiiool in tiie Mate can
be supplied with antral library
about ten years.
V. Iiiatan annual appropi latiou
of live thousaJid dollars be made for
a permanent plant and proper cm
ment for the State Colored Normal
Schcils.
S. That the advisability of a rea
soua'de appropriation for State Dis
trict Summer Schools le caretullv
considered.
Without llatteiy I have endcinor
ed also to make in this report ui
honest pieseiitatiou of some of tl:.
defects and needs of the public
school system, of some ot the ihlli
culties of the work that lies before
us, and of the relative position ot
the Statu in the column of iduca
tional progress, so far as this posi
tion may be revealed in statistics
from the reports of the educational
work of other states. It is painfully
manifest that our public schools, the
only hope for the education of the
people's children, are still uneipial
to the education demands of this
century of education and inferior in
most respects to the public schools
of moBt ether sections of our com
mon country, and they are still sadly
inadequate to their stupendous task
in houses and equipment, in teachers
and length of school term, in super
vision and in available school funds.
As long as the average length of the
public school term iu North Caro
lina is only 85 days, while the aver
age length of the public school term
n the Southern States is 09 day,
the average length of the public
school term in the North Atlantic
States 177.3. and the average length
of the public school term in the
United Sta 143 Hays; as long as
North Carolina spends bat $1.14 for
every man, woman and child of its
population, while the average spent
in the United States is $2.99; as
long as she spends bat $4.39 for
every papil enrolled in hr public
schools, while the average spent in
the Southern States is $6.95 and the
average spent fn the United States is
$20.39; as long aa she spends for
every child of school age within her
borders bnt $3.12, while the aver
tt.'.'e spent in the Son t hern States is
$4.0.' and the average spent in tne
United States is $10.57; as long as
th; s??rg wwmthlj aalary of white
t. k I "is in North 'Carolina is bnt
J while in the Southern States
it is $35.03 for mea and $30.47 fur
women, ami in th Uaited States
49.00 for men and $4'.00 for wo-j
i en. no true friend of education, no!
true lover of his State can afford to !
relax any effort for the improvement
of her public schools. . I
When 1 remember the past, how j
through social and poutic.il refill-j
tion, through destruction and re. on-,
struction, through poverty and mis-
nil-, these sturdy -North Carolina:

there are Jew Southerners who do
not regard this as h iieciwsnrv evil;
Yet Mr Uakcr rinds that thinkins
Southerners everyw here are saving:
"We must stop lynching."
And he believes that slowly ami
aguinst great difficulties they will
stop it.
"The South," he concludes, "Iris
no lessons to learn from the North
in so far as the lynching problem is
concerned.''
An article by the same author on
"Lynching in the North" is promis

We awuit with deep interest another
