LEADS SOUTH III EDUCATION FIELD MISS MABEL ' CARNEY WRITES THAT STATE 18 LEAGUES ... ? AHEAD. 7' i . OF OTHER SOUTHERN STATES North Carolina Making Great Progress Along Educational Lines at This - Time. Raleigh. North Carolina la leagues ahead* of other southern states in the field of education in so far as the rural dis tricts are concerned -it the opinion expressed by Miss Mabel Carney, sec retary of the department of rural Edu cation of the National Education asso ciation, In a letter to Miss Elizabeth Kelly, president of the North Carolina Education association. / Miss Carney, who is also a teacher In the school of rural education at Co lumbia . university, was in this state recently while on an Inspection tour of the rural educational systems o i the various states of the United tSates. She has mad^ a similar trip to this state before aid in her letter to Miss Kelly, expressed surprise and great satisfaction at 'the progress which the state has made in the educational sys tem of its rural districts. She com pared the condition that now exist In the entire educational , system of North Carolina with those that existed at the time of her. .visit here some years -ago; and pointed to the marked improvement: Much of the progress made in the development of the rural educational system yrhlthln the last year was attributed to. the earnest work of Mfcis Kelly -and her co-Wortters In the North Carolina Beducatloni alk ?oclatlon. The belief was also expressed by Miss Carney that North Carolina >waa making greater progress along educa colnal lines at this time than other states in the union. "Permit me," writes Miss Carney In closing her let ter. "to add, too, that North Carolina seemed leagues ahead of any other southern state that I ht^ve visited. In tact, it is my opinion that you are now making more rapid progress edu cationally than any- other state In the union, either northern or southern. In 'all this fou, yourself httre had ft. full share." In fceeplng with this opinion of Miss Cqrney the North Carolina association as formally gone on record, at the suggestion of the Secretary, Jule B. 'Warreji, as fivorlng an eight montbs school- term tn preference- to the' six months term now In force, and have pledged their efforts during the'Com ing year to that end.

The county-wide plan, as it la known. Is primarily, to have closer attention given to the schools by those who are at liberty to devote more time to a, particular school and to concentrate a number of schools Into one united school and in this way increase the efficiency of the teaching staff, and re duce the expenses of operation per capita pupil. It was explained. The attractive , feature about the consoli dation of the schools of the small one and two teacher- standards and of the united high ' schools, It wag pointed out, la the higher standing the schools are given on the accredited fist of the state schools under the ratings of the universities of the .- state. By this means, it was pointed ouL the pupils are eminently more fitted for entrance Into the colleges and universities of this state arid other states. State Galna Half Million In Taxes.
