With possibly three exceptions our
public schools are taught during the
spring and summer months. They are
now in session, therefore, it is very diff
ficult at this early hour to state with
much accuracy and precision what prog
ress they are making
Great care and good judgment has been
used in securing competent teachers;
tais fact together with more funds than
ever before assures us of the greatest
possible success. The exceptions above
referred to have been taught; each of
these closed with perhaps the most pros
porous along all lines of any terms in
their history.
With the united efforts of the people
and more available school funds which
will enable us to have longer terms,
Dare will take her stand in the great
educational movement and grasp every
opportunity that tends towards the de-
velopment and enlightenment of her own
people and the best interest OF the State.

1t is source of pleasure, after visit
ing the several schools in the county, to
note the interest increasing rapidly in
educational lines. We have had faithful
work in the county by our teachers.

good service. The board of education

a large number of schools in the county.

of which j. H. Jones is superintendent

solved in time to come The soil is fer
tile, and the county is being settled up
more and more, and the land cleared
and cultivated. AS a consequence, the
term of the schools has been heightened.
The most encourag ing feature is the
growing interest which the patrons are
showing in the cause of education. and
the efforts that are being made in all
sections to have longer terms. Hence,
the one great need of the county is
money-not only to insure longer terms,
but also to build better school houses.
Quite a number of comfortable school
houses have been built in the last few
years, but still the average school house
in the county is unfit for school pur
poses, being not only too small but also
insufficient to keep out the cold in
winter.

Columbus county, in many respects, is

public school money has necessarily
been limited, and the term of school

other counties The county money avail

the schools quite on an average of three
months. But the problem is being solved
