EDUCATE THE CHILDREN. , ty Orime 10 Neglect the Fduca-! It is a tion of the Country Children. : The Tarboro Southerrior says: The advantages of a good -school are by no meanc limited to the stu dent, but influence everybody in its reach . You can ho more have an educated people who depend on foreign schools for the training of their children than you ' can have prosperous farmers who depend on foreign markets for their food supr plies." The larger1 towns have recognized this fact and have estab lished their graded schools to ' edu cate all the children. The'" rural districts are beginning to recognize it. This one fact must be welJ un derstood: only a few children that are sent away from the country to hp fdncated return to live there anct to bring the result of their training back to their community and to their associates; and the money that is expended on One would almost support a nine months public school. Is it not better to give fifty chil dren a good common school educa tion than one a college course? Another fact must be recognized: the family can not be educated sue- J cdssfully unless all the children of that family are educated, 'and this education will not remain perma nent unless their associates are ed ucated. IGNORANCF ENCOURAJES FALSE RELIGIONS. The newspapers of, last week con tain some interesting items concern ing the Mormon Church. Eighteen Mormon missionaries have recently been sent into North Carolina, and a Mormon temple is to be erected in the eastern part of the . State. These missionaries enter districts that are most illiterate; here they make many converts; here they es tablish their churches and Sunday Schools; and here they -fill' the mind with false teachings because -the county and the State of North Car olina have allowed these people to grow in ignorance unable to discern between the'frue and the false. Is there not some argument here for nnitprl nrtinn on- the Dart of the churches and all friends of Christi anity in behalf of better schools and diffusion of education among people of rural districts? Should no de mand be made for a stronger school, that the children and" parents might have the benefit of a strong , teacher living in their community? -NEEDS OF THE FARMER. The farmer needs a generous supply of fresh reading matter that ne may keep in touch with the im portant events of his country, -that ne may know the supply and de ttand of the market, that he may know of the latest development in the field of agriculture, for his f am -dy, that home may be made more attractive, that the people may be bought into con tact' with ; one an other, and that they may be able to converse more intelligently. This can be done to a better advantage where two or more' schools ' are bought together, or where the dis- 1"T"1 r Z 1 Vit lb 'arcrp ftimicrh rn dttnrri a jnger school term; a good circulate ltl library, and a strong teacher. WHAT IS BEING DONE, -f ; . e people have recently consol idated two districts in - Vance Coun and' are preparing to vote a lo- cal tax- News , comes from ten counties that the people are arrang ing to unite their schools, and some to vote special taxes. . One Super intendent writes that the children, who are now. walking three miles; to school when before the consolida tion they walked only one-half a mile, say they would not want to go to .school if they had to return to the old school building ; They now have two good teachers, with the work well arranged. ; The attend ance has increased -over fifty per cent,Jbecause the new school is at tractive. Tie term has been length ened one-third, with no additional cost; and the people are now ready to vote sfslight tax to increase the term to eight months.. Since over sixty per cent of the people in the rural districts pay tax on less than $500 worth of property, it is readi ly seen that a small tax for , the poor man is a paying investment: E. C.
