Co,. Oates Romance.


There Is romance In the life OF Col.
William G. Oates. whom the admins
tration Democrats OF Alabama have
nominated for Governor. A novelist
cOncOcting such an episode as the one
pated would, In all likelihood, be
charged with going beyond the range
OF probabilities.
Mr.. Oates entered the confederate
army In 1851 rs Captain and came
out as Colonel. 1t 10 said that he
got shot worse than anybody who
lived. He was six times severely
wounded, once In the right arm, then
in the right leg. next In the left hip,
then In the head, and finally, before
Richmond, hi, right arm was taken
of.
When he lost his arm Col. Oates
was taken to q farmhouse, where he
was nursed by Southern girl. After
he was able to be about he felt that II
he couldn't win the girl he wouldn't
thank her for having saved his life.
He made his confession, but she said
nav.
"Never mind, Colonel" said the
fair ones mother; lust wait for her,
pointing to laughing baby in the
cradle.
Oates grew interested In her as she
grew up, and when she got to be q
young lady he was very much In love.
He reminded her of the promise made
over her cradle, and-well, they are

Free High Schools.

In his analysis of the statistics concern
ing the free high schools of the State the
superintendent says as to number and
length of schools: ''It will be at once
noticed that these schools were maintained
in the same number of towns in 1894
as in 1912 The number in both these
years was 228, and the number in 1901
was the same, but in 1923 the number
was 21S For each of the ten years pre-
vious to 1901, there was marked an
nual increase in this number, aggre ga
ting 1877 for the ten years. 1t would sex m,
therefore, that the limit of extension of
the SYSTEM under present laws making
maintenance optional, had been practical
ly reached, and that further growth and
Improvement must be along the lines OF
support by town instead of district or
precinct action, and of a more advanced
grade of instruction. The increase of
twenty five in the number of schools sup
ported by town action is evidence OF
growth and improvement along the first
of these lines.
"The increases of so in the aggregate
number of weeks of school, and OF four
teen In the number of schools of more than
one term per year, are probably the results
of the increase in the number maintained
by town action. They are evidences OF
growth and improvement in the system.
The superintendent also finds that these
schools have improved and are improving
in grade of work done in them, and in
the quality of that work.
Included in this are the reports from
the several normal schools. In The Farm
inaton, Castine and Gorham normal
schools the total number entering, gradu-
ating, average attendance per term were
for 1899; 247, 9s, 337: for 1898; PA, ll5,-
343. for 1894; 1893, Ill, 3S1. There have
been marked improvements made IN
and about the school buildings. A heating
and ventilating apparatus has been put
in at Pennington, a sewer at Castine ana
n fine new building with other improve
ments have been added at Fort Kent.
The existing needs are outlined in what
follows.

the controlling idea. He regards the
decrease In number Of teachers employed
ior tne different terms, the decrease in
number of different teachers, salaries paid,
ETC., as evidence Of needed consolidation
and longer terms in the smaller districts
and better teachers. He says:
Our method of supplying textbooks
a. public expense furnishes pupils with
luli ana prompt supply of these tools with
wnicn 70 do their work, and supply at the
least cost. The school year 1884 was the
,ourtn IN which books for the schools have
peen furnished by this method. It will
pe seen that the cost for this year was

rate per pupil for each of the four wears
mas been very nearly as follows: For
1901, $1.16; for 1912. sO.54: for
1928, 1894; 1894, SO. 40. When these
averages are compared with that of s1 o5
which was the annual average cost under
1ne oid method OF private supply, the great
economy of the free text book method is
e'ioent. But economy is not the chief
Merlt OF our present method It is that
every pupil is promptly supplied with all
needed books, and that the poorest is not
Kept from the schools, as was often the
case under the old method, because of the
cost of books
The decrease in the number of schools
consequent upon the consolidation of un
graded into graded schools, which has
been already noticed, caused decrease
OF ~ In the number of schoolhouses.
Ihere was also reported decrease of 3O2
In the number considered in good condi-
tlon. 1t is somewhat significant fact
that 254 OF this number passed into this
class in the year 1894, and were so re-
ported after the act abolishing school
districts, had taken effect. Did the fact
that an appraisal was to be put upon
these houses by the town, have anything
to do with the marked reported change in
their condition.
During the two school years reported
90 new schoolhouses were built at an
aggregate cost of S1S7,27S, while during
the same period the total estimated value
OF school properties increased but $113,-
2S7. The value of the old houses must,
therefore, have suffered an estimated loss
OF S73, 991. We're the estimates of value
giving rise to this apparent large loss,
affected by the same cause as apparently
brought about the change in condition of
so many schoolhouses just noticed?''
The causes producing such large re-
sources last year for the common schools,
such as the new census, large balances,
etc., will not be operative again for
period.
The report contains the text of the
school district law and full explanations
of the various provisions and answers to
questions arising under it. For this rea-
son as well as others the report will be
one which school supervisor and town
official will want.
