When it is understood that the liumlur of pupils attendng the high school are approximately one-half the tutul enrollment, the inequality of the old rate is readily seen. Pupils heretofore have been charged at the rate of .!. no for the three months th being t.be term of school in ex i l the six months provided by law. A ing that the city school has menl of 300 pupils, past rec- an cur ..u!d indicate that the outside or distii. .if th haii'l.

Under the old plan of pay- ;he outside pupils would bear !.:',."iii of thi expense, state provides that where non- nt pupils attend an accredited ';. for every 30 such pupils at an additional teacher would ..! for out of the regular school (The Press is only quoting ccncral knowledge of the law, ; not specific in its terms.) With ;;tM.le nunils. the county would and i;,n pay towards this expense the cost of five additional teachers. Allowing for tins purpose the sum of $6,000, whuh added to the $1,350 paid by the pU nls themstlves, it is easily aectuci that the city itself pays over one ami a half times as much for the ilueation through one year of high school of its portion of pupils, or $ii.i;:.o. Some few pupils outside the dis trict take advantage of the grammar gra.ie The new scale of prices pro- vide? for tuition charges of $4.00 for three months, and incidental charges f..r s .: months of $1.50, making a total per pupil for the nine months of $21.00. Tha reason for the ruling is plainly seen. The pupil outside of city limits has a great advantage in costs over the pupil on the inside. The figures given above do not include rental estimates, upkeep, interest on bond-, nor sinking funds. The cost to fh pupil of Albemarle is very far in excess of the cost to the pupil out side the taxable district. Wh.le it is natural that the non resident natron should feel that in- crea cent ng the price to him 100 per s an unreasonable one, yet the x v hn Y.mnprlv nt'ttspntpd and faun " V .j understood must cause him to under stand that there is no especial reason why the town of Albemarle or a spe cial tax district for any other school should he taxed to provide education for out iile pupils at a lower cost than it can educate its own. It can probably be presented with effect that the increase has been made without sufficient notice to them Such matters come out at seasons of the year, when k..ln. iif nnd special budget ,vin (lie UCIll lURUC Will, we iniaiiLiai uuttiuo .' their fiscal plans. We note that the same thing has just occurred in Char lotte, and a paragraph in the news column of this paper carries the Charlotte schedule. However, The Press sees where it would probably have been better in many ways for this information to have been given out at close of the last school term. As teachhers have already been employed upon the basis of a certain number of non-resident pupils being enrolled for the present year, any material drop off in that number Would cause embarrassment in more ays than one.

White. Mrs. R. (i. Tuttle Died at Greensboro Aug. 27 Was Wife of Former Albemarle Pas tor Greatly Loved Here. Mis. R. G. Tuttle, 50, died at her home in Greensboro Thursday morn ing at 2:40, after an illness lasting about a year.' For the past two weeks her condition had been considered critical. Mrs. Tuttle, whose husband is pas tor of the Centenary Methodist church, was a native of Greensboro, being, prior to her marriage, Miss Janie Gregory'. She was well known in Greensboro and throughout the western part of the state. She was a member of West Market Street Methodist church prior to her mar riage in liiO'J and after tnat time placed her membership in the vari ous churches served by her hus band. She- spent two or more years in Albemarle, where her husband was pastor of Central Methodist church. No minister's wife was ever more popular or beloved among our peo ple than was she. She was a faithful and energetic church worker and was particularly interested in working with organiza tions of young people. Surviving, in addition to her hus bai d, are a son, Robert G. Tuttle, Jr., two daughters, Misses Emily and Miriam Tuttle, five sisters, Mrs. K. G. Glenn, Misses Sue and Mary Greg ory, of Greensboro; Mrs. Walter Thompson, of Winston-Salem, and Mrs. Metra Makley, of Lenoir, and two brothers, H. T. and G. H. Greg ory, both of Greensboro. The funeral was held Friday after noon at 3:30 o'clock at Centenary Methodist church, Rev. W. F. Wom ble, presiding elder of the Greens boro district, and Rev. R. M. Court ney, of Thomasville, conducting the service. Interment was made in Green Hill cemetery at Greensboro. Dry-Weather Crops Are Underestimated Husk of Corn Wrap Tight In Dry Seasons Loosely In Wet Period. Mr. J. A. Rowland, of Ridenhour township, is an observant farmer. He says that larmers are always tooiea during dry seasons, such as we have been having, and in the wet seasons, when vegetation looks green and growthy they are also fooled into i thinking their crops are better than they really are. Mr. Rowland says the crop in Stan ly is going to average higher than many think. He refers to the corn. The ears look small, but the grains are there; the shucks are thin, and closely wrapped. "Crops are always underestimated in dry seasons, and overestimated in wet seasons," is the observation made by Mr. Rowland. DR. C. M. LENTZ UNDERGOES OPERATION FOR APPENDICITIS Dr. C. M. Lentz, a popular and prominent physician of Albemarle, developed acute appendicitis early Tuesday morning, and was rushed to Charlotte for an operation.

While the num ber of marriages grow fewer the number of divorces becomes larger. The gouth jg learnim, to kee) step with the rest (lf the nati0n. For a time the southerii states showed more marria(,es than divorces, In 1923 Virginia, who boasts of he-m th tvllical southern state, with- out a touch of the "new commercial- ism," had 23,110 weddings, and 2,- i 763 divorces, but in 1924 the mar riages decreased to 21,837 a ml di vorces increased to 2,907. North Dakota for instance, shows a falling off in marriages and di vorces. In 1924 she had 3,707 mar riages against 4,006 for 1923. Her divorce mill ground out 377 in 1924; and 430 in 1923. j Utah, known as the state of many! wives, has a fair record.

The Cool idf.e administration has let it be known that there will be no interfer ence in the coal strike unless the laws of the United States are violated. The purpose is to let the operators and miners tight it out if they do it in a way that does not illegally dam ag? the public.

When tin brotherhoods got ready to strike tile attorney-general secured an injunction and won out in the COUlts. 'J Hat was a blow- it the or- ganixat'on-.

The year's work of the Norwood graded school will commence on Monday, Septem ber 7, with its corps of teachers, as appeared in the last issue of The Press. Only one error was made in the name. The reading J. W. Green should be J. W. Coon. Supt. C. J. Scott is very enthusiastic about the agricultural department under the management of Prof. Colvard, who is known throughout Stanly county. He urges all boys with a farming ten dency to take this course of instruc tion. Most particularly if the boy cannot take a college course. There are now several lines that the stu dent may pursue a course which may be completed in the high a course that will prepare for N. C. State or other agricultural colleges, and a course that will give entrance in any literary college. The ele mentary department is now standard calling for higher educational quali fications among the teachers. Alto gether the year looks promising view ed from the scholastic point. Until cotton is picked the superintendent and teachers will co-operate with the farmers, allowing the trucks to be used in quantities so that only one trip will be necessary for morning and afternoon. If parents so desire the school will open about 8 a. m., close at least by 2 p. m. in order that the farm children may be of service in the fields during the cotton sea son.

CHILDREN NEARING SIX YEARS MAY ENTER SCHOOL By order of the school board chil dren, who will become six years old on or before January 1, 1926, will be permitted to attend school provided that they enter at the beginning. It is advised, however, that chil dren under six years not attend this year. Both mind and body are too immature to withstand the daily grind of five hours in the class room. There fore, children under six must be sent at the risk of the parent.
