MULTIPLYING SCHOOL HOUSE
Better Garry the Child to the
School House Than the School
House to the Child.

In his first message to the leg
islature Gov. A. ]. Montague Of
Virginia devotes much attention
to the question of good schools
and goods roads. He forcibly
states some wholesome truths in
regard to the rural schools, and
what he says applies in large mea-
sure to every state in the South.
The tendency to multiply the
rural schools. he says, "has great
ly impaired the efficiency Of the
system, We need stronger schools
with longer terms. Such schools
will command better teachers and
admi: of the classification necess-
ary to the best educational results.
1t is quality rather than quantity
that counts in education. The
state can better afford. as repects
cost and efficieny. to transport its
children to one good school than
to put an Indifferent school near
the door Of every patron. Such
transportation has been found e
economical and beneficial in several
of the states, and in time doubtless
will be in troduced into all sparsely
settled communities. Some central
authority should be established in
each county to fix the number OF
schools under such Limitation and
regulation as the State Board OF
Education may prescribe.

the center OF town as possible. Un-
der no condition, not even if the
land were donated shuld the SCH
school be placed so as to make
it wdk a hardship on the children.
1t must be rendered that little
children 5 and 6 years old will at
tend and they should not be forced
walk too far. The school is to be
for the convenience and the profit Of
thi 6iIdren, and in giving loca-
tion onvenience and accessibility
shesld he the first consideration.
Plenty of play ground and shade,
if possible, but plenty of play
ground by all means is of equal
Importance. Convenience and
large grounds are the essentials and
the Advertiser trust that the COM
mite will consider no location
lacking these. AS this is to be a
permanent home for the school let
there be no mistake. 1t is far bet
ter to pay somewhat more to Sc
cure the right site, than to accept
as gift a place entirely unfit.
The people Of Lafayette do not
wantany mistake made this time.
