A nation live ;or ;dies through its schools. Hence the demand for rigor in the administration of our schooi should bo pcrsisleiirarid Imperative. If the maturing voter and citizen does not get the beat obtainable in the public schools, the nation is cheated where good measure should be oversowing. For some years past each Iyginla ture has steadily increased the income and the administrative powir. it mr school ystwn. Th Ptnte Superintend ent, a is his duty, hns met each' An sembly with n carefully planned budget and with maturely considered suggea tion for improvements. He has not been eonicnt to let legislation drift, but aided by the best teachers in the State and profiting by the legislation of other States, lie, and his competent . helpers li ii vo had jrndy for the Committee on Education plans for their consideration and arttrrar tteneff our schools "have ad vanced rapidly iu equipment and efB clency. Hon. James Yadkin Joyner, the man on whom the State placed these rrspon sitiilities, has been no slack-sinewed chair warmer. He has never spared himself in bis arduous duties and his eyes have been single in their devotion to the youth of the State. His execu tive powers hnve .necessarily been en larged, for no organization can prog ress if the head nf it is impotent to en force its own laws. Nor can any one justlv assert that the Superintendent has ever used any of the powers of bis olaeo except for public welfare.

Our State haa been justly mortified that for circumstances almost beyond its control la th past, we have had among our citizen o many who are tin abls to read and write. Superintend ent Joyner has taken the lead in two measure to. get rid of thia illiteracy. One 4if these-.methods- was. a cuqipul. sory attendance law which mnkes it difficult for ths young to escape having the essentials of education thrust upon them, even though in their immaturity they may not desire what they wIl later In life so much need.
