FROM General Eaton's report it ap-
pears that the school term is longer
in Maryland than in any other state.
Thus, in North Carolina it embraces
only 62k days, Georgia IS, New York
TIC, New Jersey 1872, and in Mary
land 1919. The small proportion of
their time which the children of the
Southern States spend in school
shows that there is still great room
for improvement in this direction.
