Bur Cannot bo Worked Out In Rnral Districts. . -s There, Is .serious objection to the plan of the county board of educa tion to adopt two high schools in the county, one at Huntersvllle and the other at Matthews,, if tho proposi tion - la rightly understood, , It is argued that it is an effort to citify the county, which Is Impossible on account of the fact that the pupil are too rar apart ana not con veniently located for aucri ' purposes. V'No mattejr how centrally .located the schools may be," says a -citizen, "If the board of education forces the children from all parts of the county to go to two schools, and these two only, a hardship will be worked upon those who live a distance from these points. " , The theory which ; lies be. hind the establishment ft such ' In stitutions is good, but lh e practical feature has apparently been Ignored. It necessitates the taking of a young child, if It Js studying , the higher branches, away from ;. home and placing it in a boarding house, be cause it Is impossible for them to -go from'thelr homes all over the county to these two schools at Huntersvllle and Matthews." . - - : -.. If the county , board does - away with all the high school teachers ex cept those who are employed In these two Institutions, and forces children away from their own schools, i there are indications of an uproar as a result. The board may not intend this thing, but the general impression Is that this Is the aim. . , ...' ... '' Why , Trains , Were late,' The reason the trains from the . . North were all late yesterday and . last night Is said to be because of , the celebration of the new terminal opening' at Washington. The spirits ; were so lUDiiant ' mat H was im possible to get out of the capital city on time.r " This Information comes from the . authorities at the 1 ' local - ' t tation. - .t " ' l . .Mr.. H. H.

"The East is a great money centre. It is said that about $14,000,000 drifts that Way every day for life insurance.
