As he has gone ott. up he baa sent word back that the V apple will grow only up where he Is, and some times will not do so up there. ' "Jt doe not take a sage to see that . hsj real apple region is narrowed In f Its oops, and the holders of the rich - cove is doubly fortunate. But by way of "parenthesis, will not rot and dls ' ease and want of fertilisation take in '11, the space In the next decade? I think such will be the case, unless the trend of things can be changed.

Public schools are primarily for iihtt. mui and a srreat majority of tH I students go no farther, there ahould fhTfore he . course of study enab ling the student to do better work In English and the sciences without spending so much time on dead lan guages. "J. We therefore aak that as soon as posetble a high school be established comprising the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades, and that two paral lel courses of study be laid out, one looking to preparation for college, the other to as complete an education as may be obtained without. '4. We realize that funds are neces sary, arwl we ask that until funds may be collected Tor this purpose the course of study In the present high school grades, the ninth and tenth, be re vised, that It may take pupils Just as far along the desired way. "E. We ask that the changes com prise, "A. Introducing into each of the four high sc hool grades the study of some science, as "I. Botany, physiology. "2. Physic 3. Ohenastry. .. "4. Astronomy. , "6. That the study of Mtln he be gun 1n the ninth grade, or that the Latin work taken In the seventh and eighth grades 'be much simplified so as to consist of drill In Latin forms, and In the most simple constructions this requiring much legs time land leaving more time for (6e study of Knalish arrammar and arithmetic and that the reading of Caar be continued in the tenth grades leaving Virgil ror one of the higher grades, and that the study of Latin prose be continued In all Latin work. The best colleges re quire a great deal of Iitln prose, and It Is recognized by educators as one of the chief aids in comprehending the language. Tet in our schools all work In Latin prose Is discontinued at the end of the eighth grade when the student ahould be but Just begin nlnir his real Independent work In Latin. ('. That a much more complete course In English be presented through all the grades. Including the writing of frequent themes and composition. At present this seems to be left to the will of the teacher so that It is possible to go through our schools do ing almost no original writing. "D. That more thorough work be done in arithmetic. In fifth, sixth sev enth and eighth grades so that arith metic may be dropped In the ninth grade when algebra and Latlln are ta ken up, and then reviewed again and studied further In the eleventh or twelfth grades, when a child's reason ing power ha been more developed. "E. That a course of domestic train ing be Introduced Into our schools, es pecially Into colored sahool, when It ahould at once become productive of god, both to student and housekeep er. Our neighbors, Greensboro and Durham, have advanct-d this and found It most successful in their public schools. "6. That the salaries of the teachers be raised, as only In hls way can the heat teachers be attracted to our school and retained there. "Respectfully submitted, "MHS. LOCKWOOD JONK8. Chairman. "MRS.

The following facts concerning the growth of churches in 1906 will make Interesting reading to those who wish to keep posted, especially so an they were complied by I)r. Carroll, of New York, and published In the Christian Advocate: "In the year 1906 the total number of communicants1 was 31,148.445, a net gain for that year of 519.1!6. This membership wa distributed as follows: Roman Catholics first, with 10,785,406, net gain 192,122; Methodists socond. with M29.K15. gain 101,892: IfiiptlHts come third, with 4,974,047, gnln 72,667; Lutherans fourth, with 1,(141,346, gain M.r,8o; Presbyterians fifth, with 1.723, K71. icatri 28,174: Disciples of 4'hrlet sixth, with 1.235,294, gain of 1.428; Kpls copallans seventh, with 827.127, gain 19.203; CongregatlotKH-lists eighth, with 6K7.042. gain 13.S21; Reformed ( Dutch and Gorman) ninth, with 406.022, gain 4,021. "The percentage of gain Is Inter esting, for the largest denominations are not, except in the case of the Meth odlHts, enjoying the same rate of growth as ome of the smaller ones. In their iH-rcentage of Increase they stand In this order: Lutheran, .028; Kpicopaliaiwv 023: Congrega.tloiiallsts, .019; Roman dithollos, .017: Methodists, .015; Presbyterians, .015; Baptists, .014; ItefornviMl, .00; Disciples of Christ, .001. "The largo rate of increase of the Lutheran denomination may be partly accounted for by Immigration. "Methodists end Baptists are doing most for the negro of the Berth and are very strong in that section. The Baptist growth In the North. Where they number 1.075.S33; was but 4,864; but the Methodist Episcopal Church, North. 2,910,779 strong, had a growth of .47." A Flag of School Children. One of the most spectacular features of the Twentieth of May celebration programme will be the living national flag made of 1,500 school children. Prof. R. L.
