Cheap Teachers.

"The day will come when the great majority of taxpayers will pass by cheap teachers as the intelligent farmer now passes by inferior stock and seed; as he would pass by a thousand joltwogons or stage coaches to take the passenger train. In the meantime, if is the duty of ed ucators of clear insight and devotion to eourageously insist upon a higher standard-to do what they can to place the licensing of teachers in the most competent hands"
 So says an exchange. This is true, but that day will not come until the taxpayers are willing to pay salaries that will command good teachers. As long as schools are turned over to those who will teach for the lowest amount. the opportunities of the chil- dren will continue to be wasted. The licensing of teachers should be placed ''in the most competent hands," but the employment of teachers should be placed in hands equally competent.

SOVTH EDUCATION ]
MANAGING CONSOLIDATION.
How m Iowa County Manages to Collect and Deliver It's Chill
 dren nt school.

The distance to which children may be adyantageously conveyed varies with the character of the roads, but the average is about four miles, and the longest route should hardly ex- ceed six miles. In an Iowa county six contracts were made for 1900-1, each covering one of six routes. When the roads are muddy the driv- CTS begin to collect children as early as 7:15 to S:15 a. m., returning them to their homes at 4: 4j to 5:45 p. m. The contractors are held to careful restrictions. They must furnish suit able covered vehicles, safe and strong, with comfortable seats; strong, safe and quiet teams, with proper har- nesses; warm, comfortable blankets or. robes sufficient for the best pro- lection and comfort of each and all of the pupils to and from the pubic school building and their respective homes-all to be subject to the in- spection and approval of the school board. They must arrive at the schoolhouse not earlier that $40 a. m., or later than S:45. They must per sonally drive and manage their own teams; they may not drive faster than trot, or race with others; they must conduct themselves properly, refrain from improper language in the presence of pupils, and from the use of liquor and tobacco; and they must keep order and report improper conduct on the part of scholars. Each contractor, except one, who receives $25, receives $30 per month, and half d months pay is retained to insure the fulfllment of the details of the contract" The cost of schooling per pupil in 1900 was but $2.31, against S5.03 under the old system of scat tered schools. Attendance rose from 90 to 200, and first-class teaching was substituted for the impoverished cur rieulum and poor instruction of the older way.-Forum.

GREAT MISSOURI ORCHARD.
Largest Enterprise of the Kind In the World to He Controlled
 by Syndicade.

The largest apple orchard in the world is soon to be planted in Laclede county. Missouri, short distance from the main line of the Frisco rail- road. The land has already been pur chased by a syndicate promoted by residents of Des Moines, la, and as. sisted by the Frisco railroad. One of the directors in the new enterprise is n Kansas City man, William (. Car roll, who had much experience in fruit raising in the Ozark region of Missouri, reports the Kansas City Star.
 "The largest orchard in the world to-day is in the Ozark mountains" said MT. Carroll. Ut has 2.3O0 acres planted in fruit trees. My company has purchased 5000 acres near Leban- on, Mo. We will plant every acre of it with fruit trees. When the apple trees are all bearing, which will be in about six years from now, we will have the largest orchard in the world"
 Do you expect to receive any re- turns from your investment before six years have passed 2" was asked.
 .Yes, we will plant 25o acres in peach trees. Those will yield within about three years if the seasons are favor able. The peach crop is not so sure as the apple crop and that is why We have decided to plant most of the 5000 acres in apple trees. While the apple trees are growing-that is, during the next three or four years-we will plant small fruits and grain between the rows of apple trees. By that plan our big farm will yield a good revenue be- fore we gather the first crop of ap- ples.'
 Mr. Carroll said the 1000 acres that will be converted into the apple or chard are now covered with wild for est trees.
 "We have let the contract for clear ing the land," continued Mr Carroll "Horticulturist have found that land that is productive of good, timber is also good for fruit trees. Wherever you see healthy virgin forests that is an indication that the soil and drain age will produce god crops of fruit. ! We intend te plant 50 trees to the acre. Only Jonathans and Ben Davis trees will be planted.'

of 1900:

Mississippi recently made liberal appropriation for popular education, although it already has the smallest per cent. of illiteracy among the whites and the negro majority in the state is in the neighborhood of 7o,000. It might be thought that the small percentage of illiteracy among the whites in a "black state" such as Mississippi is due to the fact that in such a state the white employer class is relatively larger and the white la boring class relatively smaller than in other states. But the figures for South Carolina, another black state, show a larger percentage of white il- literacy than is found in Virginia, Georgia, Florida or Arkansas, all of which have considerable white majori- ties. Greater interest in education would therefore seem to be the main cause of Mississippi's enyiably low percentage of white illiteracy.-Ma- con (Ga.) Telegraph.

Local Taxation for Schools.

Those towns and cities (and rural communities) that have adopted To- cal taXationl have adopted the only means at hand for the adequate edu- cation of their children. In adopting this principle of local taxation they secured. first, adequate school funds; second. competent supervision; third, skilled teachers. Lacking any one of this educational trinity no community has ever yet succeeded in establishing the means of complete education for it's children-North Carolina Declara- tion Against Illteracy.

ILLITERACY AMONG WHITES.
Much to He Done Before White H. Iitcrncy In the south Cnn

That there is much to be done be- fore white illiteracy in the southern states can be reduced to a more de- sirable percentage, may be seen from the following statement of the per cent of illiteracy of both races taken from the federal census of 1900:
