AGRICULTURE CLASS COBB MEMORIAL SCHOOL The agriculture class of Cobb Memorial School opened its year of work on September 20th, with the enrollment of twenty stu dents. The work of the clpss in the past years of the school has been a great success. The school has been an important factor in the past years of the State Fairs, winning a number of high places in the judging contest of the^State Fair. We were sorry that we did not gCt a chance to judge this year, which was due to State Fair not being held this year. The class will study animal husbandry this year. Since the opening of the school the class has been studying swine ami: poultry, also judging livestock at nearby farms. Last Friday we went to the home of Air. f. O King's Jo judge poultry and to examine some sick turkeys. Ber ing unable to determine the dis ease, we sent one bird to Mr. B. F. Kaupp of State College Ra leigh, N. who found that the turkey had Blackhead, also in fected with worms. We have al so spent some time in judging and placing fowls on the farm of Mr. Berkly- and Martin Daniel, who have a line flock of White Leghorns. We have spent most, of the time here selecting for, egg production. litis week we an? going to. spend some time in studying the bacon and tard type hogs. .We* are preparing s<\t-tai rations for feeding pouttry an<) swine, which we* expect to run in the paper some time tater.

The above enroHtnent is ay of October 2nd and each schoo) has added many more pupi)s by this i date. It is hard to state here the work these teachers have since many of them in most of the named schools above take more work than is assigned. For in stance, Mr. Mabe at Prospect Hill is shown with t7 enrolled which is the 7th grade, but he does a part of the work with the 3! high school pupils. This is true with most of the teachers who have a low enrollment. In each school the 6f§t grade teach ers are named first and each hrade follows in ordes. In the county the larger schools are crowded while the smaller schools are not; and this could be shown here. j Usually the larger the enroll-} ment or the larger the school the} larger the enrollment per teacher! and vice versa usually the smaller the school the fewer pupils per teacher, and too, this is usually true of attendance, that is, the larger the School the better the attendance and the smaller the school the poorer the attendance This is also true of the longer term schools, that is, a long,term school ttsuabw has better attend ance for the year than a short term school. This is true in Cas well county and over the state. The above facts furnish con vincing evidence in favor of large, 'consolidated schools. The small, inefficient, one-teacher school is fast passing iand it is very much as a shop trying to do wood} work, steel work, jewelry work.} paper work and other work when} it is able to do only one. Thei one oa*om school-house has not imptoved its work etmughthgaitt and hold pupils today and can not The hope for the little child now in this small school isdo be consolidatetl with a larger school and be given a chance that the; daws demand. The little school house was used twenty and ttiirtv years ago and roatty are stii! used; today witlmut change., but the; pattotts and people in the samej comtnunity are using different tools and machinery on the farms, roads, shops and riding in dif ferent \ehicies and using other moderti things except schools. Then cannot we congratulate the patrons and childrett who ate in modern schools? Most cordially yours, Robert W. Isley, (.ttutttv Superintendent Schools. LEASBURG Thursday evening.
