SCHOOL MATTERS.

Prof. @. 81. Mebane, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, has just
issued a valuable pamphlet in which
he explains and discusses the principal
features of our new public school law.
The new school law, however, really
contains little that is new, for the legis
Iature of 1899 found that, in spite OF
sneers, the State had never had a bet
ter school Law than that enacted by
the General Assembly of 1897. Real
izing this, it had the good n to
change it in but few particulars.
But Superintendent Mechanics pam
phlet is none the less valuable. He
points out a rumber of evils and sug
gests remedies. Among other things
he states that our school fund has in
creased several hundred thousand dol
lars within the last ten years, and yet
the length of school terms remains
practically the same.
The cause of this, be says, is that
"we have kept dividing up the terri
tory. Instead Of having one good school
five or six months in some places, we
find we have three two months
schools"
Continuing, Mr.. Mebane says:
IF the trustees find that there are
too many school houses in the town
ship (Which in many places is so), and
the average is less than sixty-fve
pupils to the school, then it will be
their duty (not only not to create, as
section "a reads, but I construe this to
mean those already created es to sixty
five children to decrease the number
until the schools will average sixty five
children of school age, OF If the aver
age is greater than this the trustees
should not hesitate to discontinue any
school wherever it can be done, and
thereby make good, strong schools in
stead of poor, inefficient ones.
1T will not be necessary for each
house to have sixty five children, no
more and no Less, for on account Of
geographical reasons in certain local.
ties, impossible streams and creeks
and sparsely settled communities, it
may not be practicable to have sixty
five, but we may have other schools in
the township where there are ninety
or one hundred children. Remember
that the greater the average the fe Wer
the schools, and consequently the
longer the school term.
Better have the children walk two
miles to a good school than to have a
poor school Tor them near their doors"
To US Mr.. Mechanics point seems to
be we'll taken and we hope that the
school officers and the parents-for
after all the parents form the real
poWer-will give this matter the con
sideration itdeserves. Now more than
ever before we need good public schools
and everything possible should be
done to increase their efficiency.

NEED OF WORKERS IN THR
SOUTH.

-
What the South has needed since
the war has been a re establishment of
the material basis for civilization.
The greater part Of the soil had become
either very badly cultivated or wholly
neglected and there was needed the
application of industry and brains to
the agricultural reclamation of what is
by nature about the fairest and richest
portion of the country-or the planet.
Furthermore, the close of the war
found the majority Of the mansion
houses and better class Of homes out
side of the large towns completely
ruined, while it also found the great
mass of the population, including t1o
negroes and the poor whites, living in
rude cabins and ehanties. There was
needed a young population that had
both the will and the ekill to construct
houses and make homes Slavery had
Of necessity made every good planta'
tion a training school in agriculture
and in hRndicrRfts. The negroes OF
slavery times knew how to raise cotton
and tobacco, no to care FOR live STOCK,
how to make and mend harness, to 90
plain blacksmithing, to mold, burn
and lay brick, to do the palmer WORK
of joiners, carpenters, and wheel
wrights, and, indeed, to work at many
ether useful trades and crafts. Ine
war destroyed the plantation system
which had provided training in sucn
trades and crafts; and the rapid dying
