When all of the circumstances are taken into consideration all of the disad vantages and dillicnlties duly regarded the progress of the schools lias heon very gratifying as well as remsrkahlo. A law enterprise of whatever nature it may tie is neces sarily more or less restricted and circiiinsciilied. The history of tho present graded school system of your city is a hrief one, Imvii'g had its inception and hirth in the "local taxation" law of I am informed that prior to the autumn of IHUii no attempt had evet heen made to consolidate tho public school money and to have otily our public school in the town instead of three or four puolic schools which had previously exist ed, and which had received tho pat- . . i.,. ...,i.i; .!... I l,l loonu ut iliu I'lioili; ri.oiMii iiiiivj. each school receiving its pro rata of said public school fund. Trior to lMHi the sum received from tho public school money did not exceed five hundred (.'(0) or six hundred ($X)) dollars per annum for white education, and tho length of the public school term was not moro than lour months every second year. At that time tho autumn ol ltvJd the public school fund was con solidated, and the several public schools heretofore existing in the town were united into ono central public school. Mo attempt what ever, at gradation, was made at that time, and the school was con ducted simply as an ungraded pub lic school. In the spring ol IN'i some classification was made, and this Whs the Ix-girining of the pres ent system of graded schools in Mt. Airy. I ntil tho autumn of lb!' the committee had employed a principal to conduct tho school, payng lnm a certain emu monthly, which was based upon a specified average at tendance, ho furnishing and paying his assistant teachers. In the au ttiinn of the school was placed upon more thoroughly graded basis. A stnieriiiteiident was elect ed at a stated salary, and the teach ers were employed and paid certain salaries by tho committee. The otisolidation of the public school ftmds in liS'.Mi made tho vote on "lo cal taxation" a possibility when that iroposition was placed beforo the voters of Mt. Airy tho next year. This is one of the very few towns in tho State that voted favorably re garding local taxation, thereby mak ing tho establishment of graded schools in Mt. Airy a possibility. JJowever commendable tho "local taxation" law was in the main, its most ardent admirers and staunch- est supHitcrs, while advocating its many excellent features, must ac knowledge that it simply met the requirements of the transition pe riod of public education through which we are passing in North Car olina and that it fulfilled tho end unto which it was created, and that was to awaken a deep and abiding interest in tho cause of education, and to make I he graded school eys teni, of which it was the fore runner, a possibility. I bis interest was awakened in many towns throughout the State. The legis lature of Ihyo repealed "local taxa tion" thus leaving your schools with out the aid voted by the town in or der to secure the duplication prom ised by the State. Ibis withdrawal of local taxation and state duplica tion meant the death of the graded schools in Mt. Airy, unless some other provision for tho support of the schools t-juld be made. Your Superintendent fearing the repeal of ihe "local taxation" bill, and real-. izing that, in the event of a lepeal, tho only hope of the continuance of ihe schools lay iu securing a sin-cial charter from the legislature imme diately set about drafting an act which if it became a law would meet the requirements of the case. He desire to return thanks for the hearty ftipKirtand co-opmtion and for the many valuable suggestions ottered him by you. The act was ratified and in accordance with ec 1 the question of voting a sjecial tax for the support of the graded schools was submitted to the quali fied voters on the first day of bnf, Isy.t, and tho tax was voted by a handsome majority. IV you great credit isdue for yourself sacrificing, loyal devotion to the schools, serv. irg as you have without remunera (ion of any kind. You have made the peqtuity of the public graded schools in Alt. Airy certainty, and through your energy, your efforts and your interest in the cause of education, it has been made possible for every child in your towu to ob tain, if he will, that which is trati sceudently above rubies and spaik litig gems the rd pearl of great pi ice a good, practical education which will thoroughly prepare him for the duties and responsibilities of life.

You have had many difhctilties to meet, many obstacles to overcome and many trials to endure, but you have sur mounted them all and to 'you be longs tho plaudit of "well done." Whatever of greatness and of suc cess the Graded Schools may achieve hereafter, you will always have the satisfaction of knowing that they were orgini.ed by you and wero successfully established during your ad ministration. The increase in attendance of pupils during tho year has been most gratifying. Tho enrollment has nearly doubled. Moro room greatly needed, and it is earnestly honed that before long some ar rangement can bo made whereby the seating capacity may bo increas ed and ampler accouimodations of ferod to all who wish to attend school. Tho wori dono by nil grades of pupils during the year has In-en most satisfactory, if we tako into consideration all tho obstacles to bo encountered in a newly organized school. There aro many improvo moots to be made in many direc tions. Perfection is seldom attain ed in this life, and never is it reach ed without lotiL' and persistent ef fort. There is always room for im provement, and next year should give better results than have lieen achieved during the year just closed. 1 ho work was considerably inter fered with during tho first rial f of the year, owing to several changes in teachers. This was unavoidable, but was to bo much regretted. A change of teachers is always to lie avoided, if possible, as every change . .., i interieres wan tne Harmonious run ning of the school machinery. It may bo put dow n as a safe maxim that tho fewer changes of teachers a school has tho better is it for that school. Few superintendents are as fortunate as your superintendent is in having tho loyal support of his teachers. To individualize is un necessary, as one and all have done their best. Tho perfect sympathy which has existed among superin tendent, teachers and pupils has been most gratifying. There have been employed dur ing the past year nine ('.) teachers- seven (7) white and two (2) colored and it would be dilhcult to find anywhere better teaching talent for the salaries paid.

Sheriff Iavi commissions, Filtered balance due, From a careful inscetion of the receipts and disbursements it will be seen thit there has been a most judicious expenditure of every dol lar. The only surprise is that so much has been accomplished with the funds in hand. Only about two-thirds of the amount expended has been for salaries of teachers, and about six hundred dollars have been expended in permanent improve ments. 1 his reduces the incidental and running expenses of the schools to a minimum. It is doubtful if any other graded school of similar size ir, the State has been conducted ou as economic a bais. While your Honorable Pjrd Las shown great economy and prudence in all expen diture, it has not exhibited that spirit of narrow mindednevs and penurioueness that means stagnation and death. There have been enrolled during the school year: White popil, 47i; colored pupils, i2i making lots! of Tis) pupil. You will pi rceic that sevi n rmii dred pupils have received seven months' of instiuction at an expen diture of about 2Si0 not ioelud ing the money spent on permanent improvements. Thi i at an aver age Coe' of fifty-one cent pel pupil pr month. When we realise that pupils aro being prepared for ad mission into the Stsfo I'niversily or into any college in tho State at a cost of tiftiiimr crnl (51c) pet month, can we say that tho graded school system is not the cheapest and best method of educating the masses ', I think I echo tho opinion of the peonle. when, in reviewing tho work of the year as a whole, I that it has been satisfactory. The willingness on the part of the teach crs to carry out all plans suggested, their great interest in tho success 01 tho schools, their loyal and hearty support, have placed mo under last ing obligations. To tho members of the School Committee, who have given mo such cordial support, and who have, without remuneration, except that which comes from the approval of a thankful people and a good con science, devoted so much time to tho consideration of matters con nected with tho schools, I am great ly indebted for whatever of success has attended the responsibility ot the work, which has lioen commit ted to my charge. Uespectf ully submitted, Fkank H. Ci kiisx, Superintendent. At a meeting of tho School Com mittee, June 5th, ISM, tho follow ing resolution was passed : This being the close of tho ofll cial relations between Prof. Frank II. Curtiss, tho Superintendent of tho Mt. Airy (iraded Schools, and this Committee, it is but befitting and duo him that we give some ex pression of our appreciation of his services and co operation with ns in the work in which we have been co lahorcrs for the last school year. This Committee has ImJ charge of the public schools of Mt. Airy for the last two years. It Rdoptcd tho po'icy inaugurated by its prede cessors ot consolidating the public school funds and thus, as had been practically demonstrated, get a long er school term for tho money. iMermiiiing that Mount Airy- ought to have a first class system of graded schools, the Secretary of this Committee was requested to ascer tain what experienced graded school teachers were available for ns. Prof. Frank II. Curtiss was st lected from a number of prominent gentlemen. He came to us with high testimonials from prominent educators of State and National rep utation as to Ins professional quali fications and general social and re ligious character. After one year's ollicial relations with him wo feel warranted in endorsing the highest encomium given him by any of his distineuithcd colaborers in the cause of education. This Committee has fciind him ready and cheerfully willing, at all times, to co-operate w ith it in meet ing the many perplexing difliculiies incident to a transition from the old system to the modern system ot gradation. His good judgment, ex perience, tact, and uniformly court eous manners have been of inestim able aid to this Committee in over coming the many dillicnlties under which we have labored. AccorJing him, as we did from the beginnirfg, the entire manage merit of the details of the school, we found him eminently fi'ted for the work controlling teachers and pu pils without friction and eliciting and maintaining the confidence and respect of all. It is needless for this Committee to assure him that he will receive the moral support of each individ ual member in his future efforts in behalf of this school. lie is familiar with the policy which has been shown in the manage ment of the school iu the ct, which should be a sufficient guarantee of tho future loyalty of the members of this Committee in whatever is for the bebt interest of the school in the future.

Whatever may be thought of the merits and advisability ot civil ser vice iu itself, there is no reason tt be surprised at Mr. McKinley'i amendment to the civil service rules His order declassifying some four thousand positions is just what was to have been expected. Jt is con sistent with his inconsistency, is of a piece with his record, and atlorua but another evidence that ivichinie ley all is for McKinley, first, last, and tho limo. Few men have occupied the pres idential chair who had greater op portunities than William McKinley to rise above partisan considerations achiove a reputation for ajucarity and pass into history as the I rest dent of the whole people. Events conspired to oien the way for him to be a leader and the conservator and champion of our institutions. Put ho has deliborntely thrown away every chance for reaching the height of the argument. lime and again ho has mado public utterances that seemed to indicate that he was wed ded to high and pure resolve, t'-t at tho crucial moment he has yield ed to tho malign influence of those who represented that the baser course would be to the interest of himself and tho Republican party mi . 1,1 1 111a contention is placed ocyonu question when we contrast hie early deliverances touching going to war with Spain and his early references ... " v to tho future ol the Philippines w:!h his final policy respecting both is sues. An analysis ot each case shows that Mr. McKinley betrayed tho confidence of the masses, and that his every step in each after 2on fidence had boon engendered was made under tho conviction that it would lead him neart t to the goal of l'.lt'O. on which ho has had his eye ever since his inauguration. Iu his messages and in interviews he gave out on the Cuban question and in his speeches on his swing around the western circuit, and his southern tour, Mr. McKinley simp ly manoeuvred to render les elec tive the opposition to his jingo and imperialistic programme, which had been already determined upon in tho counsels of his advisers, ami which he had been convinced would help William McKinley more than any other. As to the Philippines, es pecially, he 6taved off the issue un til he felt safe to epnrn the Consti tution and declare boldly for im perialism. As to civil service, he is well aware that it has an army of advo cates, and ho allowed himself to be considered a civil service reformer in order not to antagonize that army until the honr camo for acting, and the time was propitious for putting the spoilsmen and their friends to wirk for McKinley. Oh, no; in view of McKinley 'a record, there is no occasion foreurprise at hie order. Indeed, there is occasion for sur prise that it is not more sweeping. As to that, however, wo shouldn't wonder if tho amendment were amended beforo the presidential canvass of next year. From the Richmond (Ya.) Dispatch. The Natural Condition.
