The little lop schoolhousr has ai mer,(disappeared in North Caro lina. according to the state depart ment of public instruction, which issues a statement today showing that there were only 128 houses of this type during 1927-28, and all of these used by negro children. Of Hits total number 23 were in Caswell county and one earh in Alamance, Durham, Halifax, Person and Vance counties. The records for 1927-28 further show that there were In use throughout I lie st ate 898 rural rehoolhouses with brick construc tion and 4.858 with frame construc tion. which with the 28 log nouses (makes a grand total of 5,780 rural jschoolliouses in use during the year Five years ago there were 7,130 schoolliouses used by rural children, 424 brick, 6,842 frame and 64 log. Thus, within five years there has been erected 472 new brick build ings for the rural boys and girls, whereas there has been a net de crease of 1.786 frame houses. During the year 1927-28. 176 new rural school houses containing 1. 079 classrooms were erected. These buildings cost slightly more than four million dollars, or an average of $24,000 each. During the pre ceding year, more, than five million dollars were spent, in erecting 241 new rural schoolliouses, and costing on an average $22,000 each.

From Valle Cruise, the six mile climb to Banner Elk is begun. This little vil lage with its altitude of lour thou sand feet is one of the most ideal in western North Carolina. Its winter temperature is the coldest in the state and incidentally the coolest, in the summer.

From here it follows the valley of the Toe river into Spruce Pine, thence on to Burns ville. Asheville—the city of the sky—and through Hendersonville into South Carolina. Not. only tfoes sixty-pine afford the tourist one of the most scenic trips through the mountains of western North Carolina. but is undoubtedly destined to become popular as a much shorter route between the Lee highway in Vir ginia. connecting a: Wyihevilie, into Asheville, Atlanta. arid the south.

Average In I'nited States Is Forty F.ight Cents. i mi'Ly ernes a any per pupil is the averace amount spent for cur rent operation of the public schools of North Carolina, according to ligures compiled by the bureau of education, Washington, D. C., for 1925-26. ns contained >n Bulletin, 1927, No. 39, and released by the state department of public instruc tion. The state ranks seventh in daily per pupil current expense cost for schools among the sixteen southern states. Florida. Oklahoma, Missouri, Maryland, Texas and Louisiana spend more per pupil for the cur rent operation of their public schools than is spent in North Carolina for the same purpose. The per pupil current expenditure for schools in Florida and Oklahoma is identical, 41 cents a day. Geor gia and Mississippi rank lowest among these states with a per pupil cost of 20 cents a day. The average daily cost per pupil in the United States as a whole is 48 cents. Not one of the southern states has a cost reaching this aver age. North Carolina spends 18 cents less than the United States aver age. Several reasons are advanced for the lower costs in the southern states. There is first the question of race, Vhich makes some differ ence. But aside from this question, there is an average longer school term, a larger per cent of pupils en rolled in high school, and larger average teacher’s salaries, in the United States as a w'hole. In fact, public education on an average has advanced further in the states not classed as southern than it has in the strictly southern states, as a group. Many fields of cotton in Nash county which normally produce around a bale of cotton per acre will not produce one-fourth of a bale this year due to constant rain ONE FIRM PURCHASES APPEE ORCHARO CROPS Mount Airy.—A deal has been made by the Sparger and Coveland orchards of this section, whereby they dispose of the entire apple crop of the two orchards to a South ern Pines firm.
