The results obtained by turned from Salisbury and South I'rofessor Akers and his able as- t'artdins w here she has been vis sistants have not only attracted ,tlnK relatives and friends. the attention of our state and other state of the union, but those of foreign countries also. Not very long ago a prominent educator of South Africa, who visited the schools Wisconsin, Indiana, and a few other states visited the county schools to se cure information that the child ren of his country might profit thereby. Taking these facts into consideration Johnson Coun ty's offer to Prof. Akers is not one of flattery, but one of recog nition of aJlity and accomplish ments worth the price. In de clining this attractive offer Prof. Akers has proven his devotion to his present work and it is to be hoped that Halifax County will do for him what another county is willing to do.
