GOOD SCHOOLS IN GOOD WEATHER.

How a County Superintendent Adapted the
Schools to tie Condition s in His County.
correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
Every county superintendent and
every member of a county or district
school board in the mountains and
hill country of the South should
know of the work of Supt. S. F.
VenabIe, of Bunoombe County, North
Carolina. In this county, as in 80
many others, the public schools had
for years been taught in the late fall
and winter, when the weather is bad
and the little children cannot attend
without exposure and danger to
health. Two summers ago Supt
Venable worked out d plan for what
he calls duplicate graded schools"
and induced a number of the dis
triots TO give il a trial.
The children we're classified in
eight grades, each grade represent,
ing the work of a school year. About
the first of June the schools were
opened for children of the first, SEQ
ond, third and fourth grades, which
included all the children from six 80
ten years old, and the records show
that the average attendance daily of
the children of these four grades
was as large as the average daily at
tendance of all children of all grades
the year before. After four months,
children of the higher grades were
admitted. In some instances the
first, second and third grades were
discontinued in others additional
teachers were employed and children
of all grades were taught the next
four months. In other s sma Her
schools were combined in central
schools.
So satisfactory were the results
that the majority of the schools in
this county have now adopted the
plan. The attendance of the small
children, on account of good weather
in the summer and fall, has doubled
and some of the teachers reported
last summer that every child in their
districts from six to ten years old was
in school. The progress made by
the children was surprising to the
parents anG children, and was made
possible because of the few grades to
be taught. These schools will run
from eight to nine months this year.
The plan is economical, and has
many advantages which make it
worthy of careful consideration.

Bro. Parker talked an hour or

after which the ladies made ready a

all gathered, after thanks. The men
did ample Justice TO the meal.
At two O'Clock we assembled again
TO transact the business belonging to
the Alliance. The business was done
in regular order. Several interesting
talks were made by some of the
brethren.
We adjourned to meet with Lu,

Cumberland County Farmers ALI
anoe held it's regular meeting with
Goodwin Sub, April 9th, at Goodwin.
Great interest is now being taken
in the duty of the membership of the
Alliance. At this meeting the ques-
ton of ''the good of the Order" was
discussed by Brethren j. G. Balm and
Nathan Williams.
As I am Business Agent for Wade
Sub, I stated to the brethren in
part our plan of doing business,
which, I am glad TO say, is satisfao-
tory to all the brethren buying goods
through our State Business Agent
handled by myself. This may not
appear to be feasible TO some of our
brethren. / am convinced beyond a
reasonable doubt that if the agents
of all our Subs. would order goods
through our State Business Agent,
it would strengthen our financial
standing as an Order. For if we
members doubt the ability of our
organization to transact business,
how can we possibly expect others
TO put confidence in us? We should
be prompt in all our dealings with
our fellow-man.
The next regular meeting will be
held with Flea Hill Sub, at Flea
Hill, on Wednesday before the SEQ
ond Thursday in July, 1902.

An Earlier Forecast.

Greensboro, N. c., Aug. 27.-The Re
publican State Convention will be called
to order at noon, tomorrow at the grand
opera house by Senator ]. C. Pritchard,
Chairman of the State Executive Com
mittee He will make a speech of some
length on party matters. There will be
an address of welcome by Robert ID.
Douglass, Esq, of Greensboro.
Further than this the plans have not
been perfected, it not even being known
at this time who the temporary chairman
of the convention will be. At $3.50 p. M,
or about that time. the convention will
adjourn for dinner. The meeting after
dinner. it is thought now, will not close
until the work of the convention has
been completed. Senator Pritchard says
that he has been out of the State so much
that he is not in a position to state just
what will be the plan of procedure. 1t
is understood that the other party lead
ers Wa all be here tonight, and at con-
ference between them and Senator
Pritchard, plans will be mapped out
Singularly enough no one knows any
thing about who are candidates for the
several offices, but the sentiment is gen
eral that a full ticket will be named.
The present outlook is that Senator
Pritchards speech will be the most i'm
portant part of the convention. During
the best part of the day he has been hard
at work in his room adding the final
touches.

Same Old Crowd Minus the Negro.

Greensboro, N. c., August 81
1t is the same old crowd minus the ne
gro and plus a half dozen or so independ-
ent Democrats. The purpose is the same
Of course, but the method is to be differ
ent.
1t is Pritchard and pie and how best to
get them. If Pritchard should say: En-
dorse Clark, the convention would do it,
If he said: Endorse Hill, it would be
done, and this is beyond all reasonable
doubt what will be done. Walker will
also be endorsed and tonight 1t looks like
Cook, Timberlake Patterson, Bynum and
all the others will bite the dust, and
Connor will be endorsed also.
Chief Justice Ferguson has written a
letter asking for Connor's endorsement.
Pritchard and his bung smellers will DO
anything if it looks like a possibility for
trading for LEGISLATOR anywhere; that
is the whole fight.
1t is said that Bob Pages endorsement
at Lexington today was intended to so
solidify matters in the Seventh District
as to mystify Henry Page and the other
anti Clark faction in renewing their
fight against Clark without damaging
Page.
One faction wants to endorse Joyner
for Superintendent of Public Instruction,
and another faction wants to nominate

it, as he pleases. But for the effect In
Ohio, Indiana and other States, he would
champion it, and some believe that ne
will make grand stand play against it
with the understanding that it shall pass
over his protest.
The whole situation is Pritchard.
There is plenty of sentiment against his
policy, but it is scared, scared into in
sipid and disgusting silence. The prob
able action of the convention is Hill,
Walker, Connor, Joyner and Abbott.
I have seen but four ex-Democrats.
These are Capt. Day, or Raleigh; Var

Whitaker, of Halifax There has been
no caucus nor will there be any. The
Grand Sachem of the tribe. Senator
Pritchard, is in his room at the Benbow

those who are invited have the termerity
to enter. Capt. Day, Col. Skinner and
B. F. Keith seem to have the preference
and are among the closest conferees,

look longingly through the windows.
