The white chil ;ren, (hiring the las-t 4 years, increased from 321,5(51 to 353.451 ; total in four years 81.920 r 002 per cent During the same time the colored children increased I rem 103,843 to 212.781); total 15.74(5 or 0.77 per cent. Thus it will be seen that the rate of increase is very near ly the same for both races, the whites having increased only 15 per cent, faster 01 1"> in 10.000. Last year there weie" enrolled in the whita schools 57.2 per cent or 202,134 out c>f 343 481 children ; in the colored schools 57.8 per cent 01 123.145 out of 212.781). The aver age daily attendance in white schools was 35.2 per cent, and in the color ed schools 33.5 per cent. Looking back over four years- the figures show that there is a vmull imrcase in both the enrollment and average attendance of the whites and tt small deen ase of the colored. I state this because it is sometimes said that the co'ored people attend the nublic shools better than the whites. This may be true for some communities, but it is not so f r th«* State according to the returns made to my office. Besides, the whites have a much larger proportiemal at tendance in private schools than the negroes have. Because there aie enrolled in our public schools only 57 or 58 children out of every 100 there is an opinion among many people that the remain ing 42 or 43 do not attend at all. This is not the fact. Our school age is from fi to 21 years, a period of 15 rears. Duiing any one session a large numl er of small children with in school ape will not be enrolled who at some subsequent t me will be ; and also a great many, say from If) to 21, drop out of the public M-hools to engage in work or pass into the \ rivate schools and colleges and are not enrolled in tLe public schools. The fact 1- that during the short time our -chexrln ar* iu m-SIOD we i uve enrolled in them a larger } r cent of population than i-- i , li i- Mtt-. Connecticut, or New York.

And fur ther. our daily a\erage attendance in proportion to the whole popula tion is better than in New York or Connecticut. I flin free to say that quite a large number of our children do not avail themselves of the facilities they have, but the great* st difference between the educational status of our State and those I have named above, and other Northern States, consists in the length of annual school terms. North Carolina has >o days per 411- i,uui. (just about the same fur both races Massachusetts 1 2. ( onnecti cut 179. and New Yorkj ITS. With near.v the same rate of enrollment and average attendance and. say. three times as terms, the pub lic educational fuives in these three States an three timts as great as are ihose of our St ate. granting that our teadnis ;.i( as well prepared f, >1 th»-ir work. Wt• arc indeed iai behind in the educational race, but still our publi • schools are imj rov ui-/ in efficiency and attendance, and our nianv pri\ate schools are giving \ a uable help both 111 111 llist 1 uctlOll of children who are not included in the public school enrollment, and in pioviding higher education to those persons who have passed be vond the public school course. In estimating our educutional fa (ilities I have taken the average for the State. We must not lose sight of the fact that, while the average school teim is (>() days or months, some counties have only about 2 months, and otheis have 4 months or more. This result from several causes : 1. A difference 111 valuation of property in the diffrient counties. 2. Closer collections of school unds by officers of some counties than of others. 3. Receipts from license of retail liquor dealers, which are large in some counties and small or nothing, in others. 4 Special levies foi schools by some County Commissioners and none by others. S. 11.

Some time ago the murder of William Thomas in that county was report ed.
