Making a total of 151 tea chers employed in the county, who receive an average of $85 a month M&ry. There are 7 local-tax districts:? Olive Hill, Bushy Fork, Hurdle Mills, and Bethel Hill have a tax rate of 30 cents on the $100 worth of tax able property, Leasburg? ^Person a rate of 25 cents; Allensville and Helena, a rate of 20 cents. Also Roxboro . pays a special rate of - 38 cents.' That leaves just a small fraction of tlta county in scattered sections which have no local tax rate. If the commissioners would J&vcl a rate of 28 or 30 centf* all over the county no one would be hurt and the schools .could function much more efficiently.

Tiriah dis trict the ccunty will be well provi ded with good houses and schools. It 'costs the county about $20 for every pcrsoh of school age. This in cludes every cent spent for any phase of school work. This is very littlT? compared with ${>0 and $60 Rpent by some counties for each child in the county. ! The county has invested in school properly* over $200,000.
