SCHOOL INEQIAMTY (News and Observer) Two hundred thousand white children and 180,000 negro children luck the advantages of an eight l.iomhs school term in North Caro lina. The actual figures for 1024-25 wore .‘174,000. The average length of term for white country children was 137.0 day., and for white children 177.(5 day; for 1924-25, a difference of 40 days or two months. The percentage in schools with terms of more than six months for : same session was 53.(5 in the country and 99.8 in the city for white children . ’1 here were 225, fil5 rural white children and 135,953 white city < Iv.k’rcn in schools having terms of eight months or more. There were 195,519 white rural (hildren and 309 white city children ii. school; with terms of less than tight months.

In other words there are nearly as many rural white children without the advantages of an eight month;, school term as there are that hav them while no city child lacks such a h antages. Not only are 200,000 white school children penalized as compared with the advantages enjoyed by the city school child but they are also pena-« Used as compared wi.h more than that number of country school children.

He has perfected.a trap with vvnich ho hafj caught' over oi>0 crows at one time. It appears that his attention to the matter was directed when observing the ineffective methods used in at tempting to destroy crows ,n Western • anada and on his return home front a lecture trip h< s t to work to de > is<- •> tri whi.-it would accomplish results. ILs efforts were suecessfu. “It is only neee-sary,” says Miner, ’’the t you k ’ow more than the crows.” Miner's phenomenal success in trappi ng crows lias attracted the at i teution of ornithologists and others some of whom condemn him for whole killing of crows and seek to ! set up. an n! hi for the crowd as a destructive bird. Th.' fact arc indisputable that un i dor mod. rn ch urned conditions the ' "ow ha - incr :»serf out of all pro nor. 11ion to. the original balance of nature and evidence is, abundant as to. ; de structive habits when congregated in ' eifcescive numbers.
