C. Allen, Superir. tendent of the county schools, . aent out this week the following letter to all the teachers of Haywood coun ty. Aa will be seen he, outlines briefly, tome of the ends to be acbjeyed to the administration of the schools fjt, the current year, in the letter is sounded the clarion note of progress and the call to the teachers to lend best efforts - in lifting the county schools to a higher range of excel lence and professional efficiency then has hitherto been attained. The letter follows: To the Teachers of Haywood County: Since it has fallen to me to lead in shaping the educational policy cf Haywood county for the next . two years, I wish at this time to enlist the assistance of all teachers as we'l as committeemen and friends of ed ucation in every school district in the county in realizing this year sotve of the purposes that are in mind to be achieved during the current term. No one can possibly realize the . need of this co-operation more than I. Allow in t to repeat what I have already had occasion to say, that I am in favor ol a larger program of edu cational activity in this county, a program t at will increase the erll ciency of 1 11 the schools by length ening the term and paying better salaries fo : better prepared teachers, building belter school houses and put ting in them better equipment. In order to carry out a program of this kipd, there are several dis tinct ends, or1 objects, to be achieved. Longer School Term. We must reach this year, or cer tainly not later than next year, an average school term of seven months. At present, there is a special tax for schools in twenty-seven of the fifty one districts jn the county, in some of them, however, the levy is small and does not meet the needs of a lengthened term. If all of the spe cial tax districts could increase the levy so aa to lengthen the term to eight months, the average for the County will be seven months. Teach ers and committeemen, therefore, should have this goal in mind and ork to this end. The purpose of ol special tax lot acnoois is to lengwen the school year: and to otherwise in crease the efficiency of the schools. According to "State School Facts'' under date of August 15, 1925, Hay- Wood county made n average Of 12V days for the year 1923-24. It is hoped that this year the average will He at least 140 days. ' ' , j Better Houses. i Haywood county has a few up-to-date school building, but most of the districts are in need of better schooi housing. With the people leading, we ought to have within the neit two years a well defined building program worked out. The people, however, must lead' in this matter, Let us, however, make our slogan for the year "Better houses for better schools." The day has passed for the one teacher school. except in rare and unusual conditions. The permanent type 'of school buildings, brick, stone or concrete, will be the prevailing one ill the future. When . a new school bjiilding is planned for a district, (jfere should be diligently exercised (b the end that a building sufficient large ; be erected to take care of the needs for at least etn years to coma we build with such, a plan and a vision, it will net be knur ba re Haywood county f will Jupewii iota supplied at good ana suiwtan- school buildings. -. - .

The need a. our school students in the county is about eight hundred. According to the standard set by the State Department of Edu cation we should have in high school twenty-five per cent of the total en rollment, or about two thousand. Our present enrollment of high school students is about ten per cent of ths total enrollment. It is, therefore readily Been that if in the next few years we shall reach our expected enrollment in the high school de partment, our housing and equipment lor high school work in this county will be totally inadequate unless w.? begin in time to work out the prob lem now gently before us, but will be acutely so in a few years. Libraries. Every school should have a library of well selected and. better adapted books, suitable . to the needs of the children for whom the library is de signed. Books cannot be well taken, care of without a good book-case substantially dustproof in which keep Ahem. Unusual care must be exercised1 in preserving from, the de structive hand of careless users the books that are provided. Recommen dation is made, therefore, that prin cipals and teachers be unusually alert in keeping in good order-books that are now in the schools and in select ing others to be added. We must set the aim for every school of more than two teachers to have a library of at least two hundred-volumes during the next two yearajv ijfy suggestion is to begin now ' to ManV'for a library, if there , is not already one , in yout school, or if thre is to add to it. Athletes. A well directed system of athletics. or at least a .carefully .planned pro gram of play-time activities, is the life of a school. Directed play as well as directed work characterizes a well directed school. An ideal sys tem, therefore, supposes some direc tion be given to the student activi ties outside the school room, arid that too to every membeiifJtha student body. Too often are staged gamps, or events in which thefeiV' . perform and the many are , mere spectators. The matched garnet the event that excites the applause of the 'galleries is merely the result, or culmination, of previous training and well direct ed effort albng athletic lines in which the major paart of the school has already staged their act But the game, scientifically played, can not be expected in all schools, al though a capable teacher can be a tower of usefulness on tie play ground in the direction of such sports as the size and status of tli.i s-ho-l will demand. Recesses are given for relaxation from work aand the boosting of the impulse to play. One of these activities is ;'ust as important to the 'educational devel opment of. theaahlld. as the other. No pupil should, -therefore, be de prived of .bo jchance to ?Uv at the period designated -for auch unless under extra and ultra ordinary con ditions. It U hoped that all teachers will avail themselves of,-th 4, unques tlmpcl. fjmlfiiA . play, ..ia to their schclspjB,thia . year, endeavor to build Dp' the play ground activities along, directed linea, and, in that way, secure greater .'effort in the clasa room work, , . , ( , , . , . i.,, Profeeaioaal .

Most appropriately it will be used at the baptism of all the little lambs ' of whom Jesus Himself said: "Suffer the little children to come unto ine, and forbid them not." Clyde Sydenham Ray. was born on October 25th, 1915; and his baptism on June 4th, 1916 was the first con ducted by Mr. New as Rector of this Parish.
