children to school than it does to keep
up extra school houses and employ
extra teachers. When they are
brought together at one place we can
have better houses and better teach
ers. Here again the great difficulty
is our bad roads. OF this | shall speak
in the next letter.
The country people, while proud of
the progress that has been made in
the public schools, are still deeply
dissatisfied and sincerely anxious to
improve the facilities for educating
their children. The young people up
on whom we mus depend for the III
ture development OF our beautiful
land are rapidly leaving the country
TO make careers i'm the cities or in
other States. he only way to hold
them is by providing educational adj
vantages which will prepare them To
make their country homes so pros
porous and happy that they will not
want 10 leave them

ness for at least six months of the
year. The teachers are, as result.
chiefly young men and women who
are preparing themselves for college
or are using the public schools as
stepping stones 10 something higher
Few persons will prepare themselves
deliberately for work in the public
schools when they cannot be en-
ployed more than four or five months
in the year at $50 or $40 a month.
The great need. then, of the South
is more money to support longer
term and pay better salaries for bet
ter teachers. The question is. how
shall these people who have already
done so much raise still more money
for the public schools? The South
ern people must and will support
their own schools; they must them
selves raise the money by taxation
with which to do it. Too much OF the
public money is wasted in paying sal
aries OF unnecessary officials. Much
more. collected i'm the form of official
fees. never goes into the public treas
urv. "Educatiou is The first inter

lie interest should bc sacrificed To IT,.
The closest economy should be- prac-
ticed by the counties and States with
regard 10 everything else. all unner-
essary offices should be Topped off and
every dollar possible should be- paid
into the common school fund. The
schools have been multiplied too much

together, for every 95 of the school
population, or every sc of those regis
tered in the schools. The actual av-
erage daily attendance upon each of
these schools for the whole year is
under 30 There are too few children
in the public schools. The number
registered and the average daily at
tendance is distressingly low as COM
pared with the registration and at
tendance in the Eastern and Western
States, where, however the popua-
ton is denser and where they have
better roads, better school houses. and
better teachers.
Another most discouraging feature
is the short annual session. Too
many of the pupils forget all they
learn from one year to the next when
they only go to school for three or
four months at a time Good results
cannot he generally accomplished UNI
til the school term is extended to at
least eight months. Another great
difficulty is the small annual salaries
paid public school teachers. making it
impossible 10 keep u class of profess
sionall trained teachers or amy Mind
OF teachers permanently. The total
amount paid for teachers salaries in
pGDlic schools IN 1885 was S23.0OO.OOO.
as We found above. an average of less
than 5000 per annum for each teach
$50. little less than $40 per month for
the five months that the average
teacher Is occupied. Omitting again

months that they teach. ~ % result
