During the" year 1911 the value of school property increased from $17, 665. In 191Q to $98,206; the number ; of new houses built from 4 in 1910 1 to 9 in 1911 at a cost of $7,500 in 1911* as compared with $3,200 in 1910 fifteen out of 75 white schools 1910. in 1910. 15 out of 75 whiteschools reported as having patent desks; in 1011 the number having patent desks had increased to 20. Duridg the year of 1910, tho number of districts was decreased from 7 5 to 71. This number has remained , constant during 1911. In 1910 fifty one white districts}?ad less than 65 children,'the number required for a district. In 1911 this number ? bad decreased to 46.. In 1910 tho . average number of school days for ' the rural school was 85." in 1911 this average was increased to 90.7, an average rain of nesrlv at* Han * Darin, the ye*r l?ie. eeven local tax district, were voted, during 1411, It la not out of the place her? to say Chat in Richland township only 4 out of fourteen rural dflstricts are cot under local tax for schools, and two of thdee are Isolated and have only a few children. -Washington Township has ono good localtax'school, with three teachers. Chocowinity ,tiaa ono with two teachers. Bath bus three, each two teachera. Out of'tho six townships, only one. Long Acre, Is still without a local tax d 18tftet. It is a notablo fact that the community having the local school school tax are generally the most progressive along agricultural lines, and the most prosperous. Whether the prosperity and progress!veness in agriculture In certain sections In the county Is due to local tax and better schools, or whether the Interest In better schools Is the result of progressiveness I can pot say, but the two have certainly gone together In this county. In 1910 out of a census of 4068 children, 3059 woreenrolled. or only seventy-five of the children In 1911 out of a census of 4266, 3224 enrolled, op 76 per cent. Thus 1 per cent more were enrolled last year than the year before. In 1910 an average of 1914 children attended !school, this being ^per cent of the census, and 63 per cent of the enrollment. In 1911 an average of 1985 children attended school, and while this was an average of 71 more children than the year before It was only 44 per cent of the census being a loss of th?t ivflfsfA nor cert of the 1 census of t. The percentage of enroll moat attending in 1?11 wig 62. tame aa 1210. It la Interesting here to note the percentage of attendance and enrollment for the special tea district# aa taoaqered 4o the entire county, for iMt jSar. Out ot_S?5 children la 1 rural special tax districts. 7SS were enrolled nad 6It In attendance .for an average Of air months. These figures show en enrolment of 90S* gar cent of th* eenspe and on attendance of'nearly 59 per cettt, wthan averagejjf 66% per cent of those enrolled attending. By referring to the same comparison for the entire county above we will see JO 1-2 per cent against 76 per cent; 60 p*r cent against 44 per oent and 61% -per cent against tS pgr cent. These figures preeept the strongest poasir-aw-arsessE special tax U a useless expenditure ready hate Jt faw i" 2f?*^a I Eft I * lOLINA. WEDNESDAY AT Dally Pape] 1 ^ HEAD OF PAHAMA ( * i j_?; ?

During the year df 1910, only 19 )ut of 83 teachers had had the-bene-r It of normal training. Durig 1911 >4 out of 86 had . received nnr mc.1 ' training. This caused great improvement In thj? work of the j teacher, and on every baud the superintendent could see the results n a better and more effective syetoni, in? a better class-- work. Heretofore reading had been a u'luoh neglected subject, but 1911 showed a caching force striving to strengthen, this subject, .which la the key to the education of every child. In 1910 only threo teachers *moetinga were held. In 1911 four, one sach month for the regular torm. were hold. Attendance on fhese meetings was bettor than the year before, and moat teachers co-operated gladly and willingly. Before 1911, although the school law Wid required Instruction in agriculture, out few teachers had tko time to form classes. Last year. 60 per cent of the schools bad such in truction, and several had school gardens. Before that time the children had followed this Instruction wfjUh. reluctance; l^at year, thanks to the efforts of the teacher^. It was becoming one of the popular subtocta. ' In conclusion, permit me to say that the continued success of 'thd bchoola of this county will depend lolely on the parents. Several things are needed which can come ?ni]T*through them. We need, more special tax and larger schools so there mar be more teachers to the school, and fewer grades to the teacher. Special tax will bring meee- money, and then teachers will be better able to fit themselves for their work. But most of all I need, the teachers need and the schools need, the active interest and corporation of the parents. W. L. Vgngfean Co. 8upt. PEOPLE too now COMING AND GOING Maaarf. C. H. Roberaon, W.
