SCHOOL STUDY SHOWS LARGE TYPE IS BEST The Seven-Teacher Elementary School Has Many Advent ages Over Smaller Types study of rural elementary sch 'ols having seven or more teach ers shows the larger types have many advantages over the smaller rural schools, according to the results pre sented in '"School Facts," the offical publication of the North Carolina State Departmenet of Public Instruc tion. The investigation shows that it costs less on the attendance basis to instruct a pupil in the larger type elementary school than' it did in ?the small type elementary school, with one exception the one teacher school, and that it would cost less than in this type if the teachers were just a little better qualified. That this less cost in the larger type of school was due primarily to the larger number of pupils per teacher. And that in addition to getting their education at a reduced cost, these pupils attended school better and for longer period of time, and had better qualified teachers from ivhom they got instruction. In summing up the status of the1 schools having seven teachers or more in the State, we have the fol-! lowing results: "1. That there were 268 rural ele mentary schools of this type in 80 counties, twenty counties having no schools of this type. 2". That there were 2.603 teachers employed in schools of this type, of which number only 108, or 4.2 per .Tilt, held non-standard certificates. "3. That the average teacher in ' 'hese schools had an index of schol- j tastic training equivalent to over a .car and a half in college. "4. That there were 101,523 pupils enrolled in these schools, or 26.7 per cent of the total rural elemen tary enrollment. "5. That there were 76.730 pupils attending school daily, representing 75.0 per cent of the cnrollmen. 6". That there were 39 pupils en rolled and 29.5 pupils in average daily attendance for each teacher employed in these schools. "7. That the average length of term was 162.8 days. , "8. That the average teacher re ceived a salary of $97.76 per month. "9. That the daily cost per pupil was 12.5 cents on the basis of en rollment. and 16.6 cents on the basis of attendance. "10. That the factors that deter mined the cost of instruction were: Pupils per teacher, salaries paid, en rollment and attendance training of teachers, extent of school attendance and school term. I "11. That all, or a combination of ! all, of these factors determined the ; high or low cost as the case might be."

BUGS AND HUMBUGS The human body can no more do work without using up energy than can an engine run without using up steam. If you go hunting when the weather is cold and shoot a rabbit or partridge it feels warm when you first pick it up but after lying dead for a few minutes it becomcs as "cold as death." Why the differ ence? The same coat of fur or fea thers are there to furnish protec tion but the heat is gone. It takes as much fuel to maintain body tem perature in the living body as it would to maintain the same temper ature in a stone of the same size and weight. In the school room Jerome & Pushell "It's Your Department Store? Use It." Big Sale of all winter silk and flannel dresses at One Half Price. Good Assortment of winter dresses at One Half Price. These must go to make room for our large stock of spring and summer goods that is being pur chased in New York and Baltimore at this time by Mr. Pushell. 10 Per Cent Off on all Dress Goods and Silks. Jerome & Pushed Brevard, N. C. ivery child not only keeps its own tody warm but gives off into the oom as much heat as a burning :andle. All of this energy and body teat is produced by the combustion n the body of the foods we eat. Violent exercise increases the body leat because it increases combus ion. Wherever there is combustion here must be a residue of ashes md gas. If combustion takes place n the body this residue of waste naterial must be taken up by the ilood and eliminated from the body >y way of the lungs, liver and kid veys. So iuii ?? n the body docs aster than the blood e! ;t; ' he waste products, the individua 'eels no fatigue, but just as soon is the blood fails to clear away the vaste products as they are formed ;here is an accumulation of this vaste in the muscles. This waste nntnrial then acts as a poison or an 'ini.o\ication" which irritates the .crves, causing a peculiar and ?haracteristic feeling, not quite like :.ain. and which we call fatigue is laturc's cry for rest. As escaping itcani from a hot auto radiator .varns us that the motor is running lot, so fatigue is a warning signa' that there is accumulating in thr system a surplus of waste products When all the available blood in the ?oil;.' is being rent to carry fivs! fiic-l and clear away waste product here results a scarcity of biood foi he brain and this produces sieep ness. Getting ?leepy is nature's in sistent demand that the body neei!. i period of rest in order to give the olt>:)d time to carry away the wast-; ind repair the tissues. FIVE GALS.

Hillman, Director of Certification in the Slate Department of Education, in a letter to me states that no county summer schools for white teachers will be held in thi State this year. These county sum mer schools have been conducted mainly for the benefit of teachers holding one-year non standard cer tificates, with the provision that such summer schools would' give re newal credits on Elementary Cer tificates. In his letter, Mr. Hillmai: .!:it hat "'Tcacheis who hold Om .ear Temporary Ce: t.ficatcs an Provisional A Certificates may ha. those certificates validated for th school year 192G-'27 with a ;tat ment from the Superintendent lha they have been employed in h. school system for that school year.' It now appears that after no school year all one-year eertifieato will be eliminated, and those wiv teach in any of the public school* <? the State will be required to hoi Standard Certificates. Teachers who hold Elementary Certificates will take notice that hereafter these cer tificates will be renewed only op State Summer School Credits. The also count one unit on raising the certificate to a higher class. T. C. Henderson County Supt. of Schools fJPMESIHELD ; EXPERT HERE E. J.
