Editor.—To closing my first communication on Public Schools, I say such are my views briefly given, and I may be altogether wrong, but 1 am fol* ly of tha opinion that they are correct, and can bo abundantly vindicated. The Boards of Commimlonera hays bean ia session recently, and from a notice of the Wake County Board In the News A Ooserver of tha 4th last., 1 quota a* follows : “Tbs Board of Coonty Commission ers finished np its business yesterday, and adjourned to meat again in special seesion next Tuesday. “Several important school matters had been made the special order for yesterday, hot they ware postponed tiU fotnr* meetings. -“The charge* against tba school com mittee in district No. 8, white, Little River township, was the special order for 10 o'clock, hat owing to tho tact that no one appeared in behalf of the petitioners, the matter waa indefinitely postponed and tha echool ordered to be continued. “The bearing of the’com plaint* from diatrict No. 6, whits, Ltitl* River town ship, was mads the special order for next Tuesday at 12 o'clock.” And tha Commissioners of this comi ty, Jones, had a petition before them, caused by the arm-agreement oi the School Committee, and their action re sulted In tho following order passed by tb* Board, viz: “By order of tha Board of Education, February Ist. 1b97, yon, a* one of tba committee w district No. 21, white race, was ordered to stop school at once, and not to commence again until July let, 1897. By order of tb* Board." Wbst tha natura of the complaint* ware before tba Board In Wake dose not folly appear, but so far as they do, are charges against the School Gum mitts*.'* And if all tha complaints brought before tho Bas’d of Commis sioners of the various counties on last flr*t Monday could be examined, no doubt bat that a vast majority of them would be against tba School Cdmmittae, both white and colored. This matter to worthy ot lnvo-tigation, and, if dili gently enquired into the focts brought prominently to tb* front where they can be seen, tbe ■ exhibition would fb* astounding, and the School Committee would be mocta surprised at the effects of their action in the administration of their duties as School Committeemen. I do not for on* moment question tbe intent of tha School Committee, hat simply state fr om my standpoint, what are stubborn facts end would urea the great need of reform, and firmly bellev* that tha best reform to be had is to get clear of School Committee*, and let tb* duties the law directs to be performed by them devolve upon soma other piece of machinery not eocampUoated.whera there cannot be an many wheals within a wheel, and entirely he rid of packed School Committees, fixed up and put together for a specific purpose by some designing ones. But some will eay. and doubtless will, does the change proposed offer a rem edy. In my opinion it does, at least could not make matters any worse. As a general thing school Committees have hot limited knowledge or the real wants of their district, and do not feel thatlntarsetin tha matter that would prompt the acquisition of tba same.— And It may be that whatever interest is shown to the resulr. of the age or their children, without any regard to tba gen eral welfare of *h« district. And taking counsel of such feelings U to bat natural j that there should be collision.eonfliatan | end bed fouling* engendered, which per- j meat** the whole district more or lass,! and has tha tendency to neutralise, if, not destroy, tha work of any teacher Ant good; for there bring two taction* 1 the teacher to considered and declared to he the representative of one or the other, and tba children demean them, j salves towards him with this Idea dom- 1 lasting. And time often the leads of p, W. Editor. strlto and illwlll *r* sown In a commu nity oaloalsted to bring forth, nod does bring forth bitter fruit. Now, it is my opinion reached altar considerable observation and experi ence in tba maaagMZMUt of tba public schools, that ht proportion as tho ma chinery for their maalpuktiou to sim plified, lu tho aarno ratio will their efficiency be enhaueed. No one con troverts tho tact that tbs more compli cated tho machine greater the amount of friction, aod friction is oat tiring by all men tubs guarded against. And now to iriievt onr public schools of this heavy weight, to why I would require tba duttaa of tha school com* mitiee to be performed by the County Examiner, or hr whatever name he may ha termed, for the following rea sons : Ist. ha to u representative man ot bis county, wail educated and of un questionable moral character, 24, Haring discharged his doty in granting certificate* to teachers, and mads due record thereof, ha ia supposed to know tbs qualiflcatioo of each one. 3d. Hav ing examined the report ol the several teachers as filed With him, as tho law should require, he readily learnt tbs proficiency of tb* children mod tha ad vancement madam tha various branch es taught, and therefor* the kind of teacher needed to continue and further the advancement already made. And there art other duties that should he performed by the Examiner, such as furnishing all the various blank deads, census reports, teacher's report* and vouchers, and couutarstgo the vouchers for the collection of same, and hla doty to visit tha schools, to satisfy himself that teachers era measuring np to their foil capacity and duty, and should be vested with undoubted authority to say who the teacher la each district shall ha, the law fixing the time for the opening of the schools, about which I may have something to say in a fotura article, tha lime having arrived for in term lotion.
