hunter cut his throat with a i>ocket

Cole’s return from a distant stale
where.’ it is stated, Cole has gone tty"
recuperate.
There has been no intimation of
the amount of damages that will be
asked by Rev. Mr. Ormond, and this

NON-STANDARD TEACHERS
In a Few Years Only Graduates Will j
Be Teachers in Our Public Schools.
Raleigh, Oct. 2(5. —( A 3 ) —In three!
mere years there will be no teachers
in North Carolina’s public schoohyHvho j
have educational qualifications oFless
than graduation from a standard high
school, if the present rate of decrease!
in the number of these so-called non-;
Standard teachers employed in the'
public schools continues during the
next three years at the same rate
maintained during the past five years, i
This is shown by figures compiled
in the office of the State superin
tendent of public instruction, and
published in the current issue of State j
Sdiool Facts, a department publica
tion, just issued.
The figures show a phenominally
rapid decrease in the number of
teachers in the public schools of less
education than graduation from a
standard high school. The decrease
in th,e city schools, it is shown, is
-rrrert*' in -the- rural -com- -
munities, bait there ie a big decrease
in both types of schools.
In 1919-20 there were 5.348 non
standard rural white teachers and
320 non-standard city white teachers.
In comparison, during the past school
year the number had decreased to 1,-
653 rural and 67 city non-standard
white teacherms. The percentage of
i decrease in figures by State School
Facts was 69 in the rural schools and
79 in the city school.
In the negro schools there has like
wise been a decrease, though not so
rapid as in the white schools. The
percentage of decrease in the negro
rural sdiools during the past year is
shown to have been 14.7, and in the
negro city schools 59 per cent.
At the present rate, says the pub- j
lication, there will beno non-standard
white teachers in the city schools in ,
two years; in the rural spools, in'
three years; in the negro city schools
in four years: and in the negro rural
schools it is estimated that, at the
present rate of decrease, it will take
29 years to eliminate the non-stand- j
ard teachers.
