School Facts, published by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, recently conducted an exhaustive study of school conditions in the State, pay ing special attention to the various kimte of schools, as shown by the number of teachers employed, in the State. _ According to these figures, in 1915- ’ ’ 16 there were 1,708 white and 338 - colored two-teacher rural elementary schools in the- State. In 1924-1925 the white schools of this type in the State had decreased to 1,279. a total decrease of 429; while the colored schools had increased to 709. a total ; increase of 371. Until the school year 1921-22, the white schools of this type increased, reaching their highest point during that year at a total of 1,870. It appears, therefore, that the year 1922 marked the beginning of a ten dency of this type of school to de crease for the white schools. Two counties. Scotland and Wil son, had no schools of this type, and hence were at the heail of the list. Richmond was second in this re spect with only one such school. Wilkes County had the largest num ber of two-teacher white rural ele mentary schools in 1924-25, a total • "of 51, This number, plus 46 one * teacher schools, makes a total of 97 small-type schools in this county. Rowan was second in this respect. - with 45 schools of this type: Johnston and Surry were next in order, with 40 and 38, respectively. These re spective counties had 62, 53 and 67 of these small one and two-teacher schools. Cabarrus County ranked 60th. there being 20 two-teacher schools in this county, according to the report. There were 2.558 teachers in the two-teacher rural elementary white schools of the State during 1924-25. • Out of the 2,558 teachers in the two-teacher schools, 621. or 24.3 per cent., helil non-standard certificates; and 1,987, or 75.7 per cent, held ■ standard certificates. The per cent, of non-standard teachers in the one-teach er schools was 32.0. This shows that the teachers in the two-teacher schools held slightly higher certificates than the teachers ih one-teacher schools. There were 80.857 pupils enrolled in the two-teacher elementary tufttl schools during 1924-25. In both one and two-teacher schools there were 130,007 pupils enrolled. The enroll ment in Ihe two-teacher rural element ary schools represented 21.3 per cent, of the rural rUmeutao* enrollment, and (both, the one and two-teacher en , represented.: 342 per cent, of the>total irutpj elementary enrollment. The largest number of pnpils en rolled in the two-tadcher schools was 'i found in Johnston' County, 3.482. Mid Surry follow in order with r 2 ;tL r Z^ y n»*l n Ci about, one-eighth of tlm total two- 4 teacher enrollment of the State in f Oat of the W,857 pnpils enrolled in ! two-teacher schools, 56,794, or 70.2 t pee cent, were in average daily at-. | tendance. In the one-teacher schools [this percentage was 07. * The average monthly salary pud teachers in elementary and two-teaeh e«f sehoois wm $76.23. The average taaaeher in the one-teacher school re ceivtd $71.45 par month. On the oth dr hand, the elementary .teachers in the city schools were paid an average of $127.37, while rural elementary teachers were paid an average monthly salary of $87.08, or over S4O less. , The average salary paid in Cabar rus for teachers in this type of school was $73.87. The number of pupils per teacher was 19.8. The average length of term in the two-teacher rural elementary school of the State was 126 days, only about three days longer than in one-teacber schools. In the counties the length of term in this type of school ranged all the way from 180 days in Currituck and New Hanover, where all white pupils in these counties had the opportunity of attending school for that length of .term, to 119 days in Wilkes County. Five counties—Vance. Warren, Edgecombe, Camden and Pamlico— each gave the pupils enrolled in these two-teacher elementary schools the opportunity of an eight months term. Twenty-six counties, other than Wilkes, kept all 'their two-teacher schools open for only the Constitu tional minimum term of six months. AN EDUCATION PAYS. Offer the question. “Does an educa tion pay?’’ is asked. This fact re garding the 262 members of the Princeton class of 1915 indicate that it does pay: According to facts recently made public they are earning, an average annual income of $7,503. Unearned incomes bring the total to more than SIO,OOO a year. Twenty-six of the class, now man ufacturers. report an average income of $12,435; forty-three bankers, an average of $12,312; education and the ministry rank last, yielding $2,825 and $3,133. respectively. In this connection it is interesting to read the following facts as given in Home, School and Community: Less than one per cent, of Ameri can men have been college graduates, yet this one per cent, has furnishd: 55 per cent, of our Presidents. 36 per cent, of our members of' Congress: 47 per cent, of our Speakers of the House. 54 per cent, of our Vice-Presidents. 62 per cent, of our Secretaries of State. 50 per cent, of our Secretaries of the Treasury. 65 per cent, of our Attorney-Gener als. 69 per cent, of our Supreme Court Justice*.

' He stood over her, looking down, not at the hole she was making, but 1 at a small curl of soft auburn hair that had escaped from the ban deau's rigid custody. Suddenly , Connemara uttered a little cry, and lifted a very white young face. “Oh, Mr. Lacy! The—the money isn’t here!

Adams. A gruff voice spoke harsh *y- -j/ “Now you count slow,” it men aced'. “You count all the way tc five, hundred, one count at a time, and if yon-know what's healthy for you you’ll tick ’em off as slow as one of them there grandfather’s etocks. Slower’n that, even. You i jusF try to hurry the count and i you’ll earn yourself another niqp wallop over the bean. D'ya want another? I’m askin’ you.” ' Salt’s head moved painfully in profound negation, i "A’right, then. You play the 1 game) and' when you get to five [ hundred you’re your own boos. Get I me? You con take that there baa r dage off your lamps and beat it." r “But the others?" Adame pro f tested dully. “I tell you I can't } leave them. How do I know >?” I "A lot of books could be wrote I about what you don't know,” snarl- I tod the voice. “Let to ease your | mind, if you got any, I’ll slip you ► the straight dope. The others, if [ you mean the skinny dame and the I pint-size old geezer, is entirely ©. K. They ain’t goin’ to be hurt any more than you are—that’s provid in’ you count that fiye hundred. You , do what we say, and don’t worry I about no others. Get me? A’right —let’s hear you start countin’.” Suit did exactly as he was bid. He strove to recall the leisurely meas ure Os his own great-great-grand father's timepiece, designed for an Adam* by an Adam, and having re called it bit began, in a manner, of speaking, to tikk. It never occur red to him that’this was an undig nified procedure for a Saltonstall. His one controlling thought was a deep desire to avoid what Mr. . Pooch had characterized as another nice wallop over the bean. He had had enough of being walloped over the beau. It had proved a form of massage of a meyt unsatisfactory WALES Tit REST IN IMS.

In hip boyhood Salt had many { times rattled* off five hundred by < five* in gay games of hide and seek J Now he solemnly intoned his five hundred by ones; and when he reached the half-thousand mark it occurted to him to add another Stately hundred for good measure. There are times when it pays to be on the safe side. At last he cleared Ms throat. Gin gerly he reached for the bandage that darkened his vision, ffe lifted it almost timidly, for well he knew \ that Pooch's threats of wallops on : the- bean were ndfVmpty nothing nesses. For a moment he blinked dazedly at the sudden brightness of the sunlight. Then, still blinking, he made out that he was standing alone in what seemed to be the center of an interminable forest of scrub oak, one of those endless pan cake stretches of inhospitable trees, too large to mow and too small to hew, which the real-estate pros pectuses of Long Island always tactfully ignore. Salt blinked some .more; then he began to think. It was still morning, of course. It must have been about dawn wher. he was blindfolded and marched away from that terrible boat. Since then he had been prodded, so it seemed, Tor many miles. Pooch had been one of the gang that so rudely jostled him; Pooch and Doc and the one they called Swede and two or three others. Now and then he had sensed the hard surface of a highway underfoot, and twice cars had actually brushed* by him* He had thought of calling out, but had recollected in time the ceremony of the wallop on the bean. Silence, he had learned, was a golden thing. He had been, wheeled around with his back to each passing car. Per haps that was why the drivers had not noticed his blindfold and sus pected something queer. Wqjl, that didn’t matter. If it was still morning, as it milst be, then the sun was in the cast. He faced it. To the left somewhere must lie the Sound. He must bear north He started forcing his way through the brush. A ragged branch whipped his face and stung him. He put his hand instinctively to his cheek and winced at the touch. In ducking under the next branch he happened to glance at his feet. He jerkqd upright, stared at the®. Merciful heavens! And,fie had to tally forgotten it! The shoes he saw were not shoes at all; certain ly they were not the type of foot wear a gentleman would or could properly wear on a cross-country tour of a Long Island briar patch. They were soft and they were long and they were panted, but most of all, in spite of tbe mud that caked them, they were of a glorious car dinal red. His eyes crawled in hor ror up his legs. They were snugly encased in bright red tights, silk tights, somewhat tom and also mud stained, but glaringly, unmistaka bly red. The eyes of Saltonstall Cabot Adama, widened in horror; his jaw sagged limp. Here he was in the middle of uncharted Long: Island, without a penny—for he had no pocket—and without a friend, dressed for the day in the doublet and hose of an Elizabethan courtier, hose torn and mud-smeared, but recognizable to even the most untutored eye as the garments either of an esoaped luna tic or of a fancy dress ball gone very wrong indeed. Salt sat down weakly just where he was. Then he felt something bulky inside his shirt, fumbled for it with suddenly trembling hands, and slowly pulled out iqto the sun light the long, shimmering coil of hair that had once graced the head of Connemara. He dangled it in front of him, looking at it Un steadily. He had kept that, at least, through alt the fighting. His eye brightened’, but his teeth closed to gether grimly. Find Connemara! That was it. What did anything f el»e matter? He must find Conne mara. He leaped to his feet and started {dunging through the brush, the long lock of auburn hair clutched in hit right hand. He came upon the road so suddenly that he was half way across it before he realized if was there. Even as he checked himself he saw a motorcycle com ing toward him. He watched it fascinated. Then suddenly he rec ognized the broad-brimmed hat, the dark gray shirt, and the bright pur ple necktie of a trooper of the New ■ York State Police.
