aud that within the year the two Boards
OF Gold Hill aud Virginia have adopted

braces the first six months attendance
ct school. while in Gold Hill it 10 made
to include the first years attendance.

the accepted opinion Of the community

a point Of economy aud that OF the we'll
being OF the pupils themselves. Teach
ers complain that many children under
school age work their way into the
schools. To them particularly does the
halliday system apply very foreibly.

msut the half day system receives at the
hands Of some Of the best leading educa'
tors o. the country, the satisfaction with
which it is received by q majority Of the
teachers and parents Of the county. to-
gether with the great saving in the mat

departments are alive and active in their
work, there being an honest endeavor on
their part to do the best by the com.
munity that employs them aud the chill
dren placed in their charge. especially In

have labored effectually to raise the
standard OF excellence in the schools.
