A careful review of the field fails to place t lie blame elsewhere a diagnosis by ex clusion. Nearly every writer in your jiaptT on the subject has seemed to f isteu the blame iinoii tuelll.

From these sources it i learned that they meet sometimes as often as once a year and then a great dial of persuasion and msistance are necessary to insure a quorum. The meeting secured, a Principal -is elected, tinanc' s attended to ami theT adjournment. The Prucipal, whether he La a stranger or not, is then i left to miuipuiate things to st;jt himself ana as nest ne can. oru high school again Some of the trustee's. I am gl id to say,! 1110ml pendant, the gift ol the yrooru are zealous for our school and it has le'n j Afer the beautiful uqd solemn cere- suggested that the number ol trustees is tx large and uuw e'dy. Every one, who j ItU'y drpve to the I, inner residence ol the ha actel on committees, knows that a 1 bride, where the wedding breakfast was small nu ubcr do better than when so J served. The wedding presents were o I mauv are to I consulted. But the nuui- j unusaul numb' r an I beanty, receivc-d from Ur has Ixeu made large with an idea ihd all parts of Carolina, anil from many dis ihe in-titution would receive not only the l tuft Statu. support of tlu tru-leiS ljut their lnlinente The rooms were very tastily and charm- as well. lias Our sclioci nao euaei 01 these ns it should hive had Those who know complain loudly that it has not.

But 'rllstee, wants more money w run the school. They have about 1100 i..i ti u.,.. ..e...., loo income outside of tuition tecs and every scholar is charged tor at prices usual in su h ins' itutions. Really that ought to l-e enough to start with. Other schools in oijr tbw-n have no financir.l backing at al1, no liummodioijs buddings and yet us private Schixils they are quite suoceisllll. Juit frequently necomplishes more than ujQDey, and all the pushing should not be left for the Principal to do. If every trustee would use his influence for the school it would soon grow. I have never intended to reflect in any wav upn the High School buildings, grounds, Aic, for many substantial aud necessary i improvements have been made, and today, to the eye, thorp is no pi-etlier ro more commodious arrangements any where lor the purposes for w hich they are in b d led, an ! yet with all this pile ot brick, mortar, paiot, Ac our people seem will ing to let the school languish. "Trustee" says they are doing all they an, u ider the circumstance. It' that is so we should try to alter the circumstanci s. Wl-e-n the Legislature meets we should d, all wuhin Qur power to get a Graded h ol such as they haye in Golds! OlO, Wilminglon, lialeigh and eveiyvvhi re else except 1'ew Hi rce. Some of tle olo fossils of which 1 1'riblee'1 spc aks having died, maybe beHor success will attend our next effort. It is use'fts; fur me to say that anything ! I cau do lor the weliiare of our school I will be gladly ami willingly elone and I whilo my ideis und suggestions are only ; those of one person, yt t if anything can come out of 1 hem which will be of any hem fii to the trustees, when they meet they will be freely given.
