average annual pay of the teachers has

actually decreased from Jiw in 10.0
to $158.75 in 1900. The amount of
monev exnended tier canita has in
creased from 81 cents to $1.84. Noth
ing cculd be more humiliating to as
than these figures. Of course we can
plead the desolation of war and the
blitrht of reconstruction. ktXat the
I war the South was an impoverished
section. But this excuse can ot be
pleaded much longer, and it is our
duty to face" the acts and attempt a
remedy. The South is largely an
agricultural section, and it is desirable
that the. farmer should be an intelli
gent - and well educated man. The
school term in the country should be
extended. The haphazard way of con
ducting them should be abanaonea.
The teachers should be better paid and
thus a better class oi teacnera aecunu.
Not only that, but the-standard of
education should bo raised.
