To the Editor: / notice reference in
your paper of last Sunday to the twenty
three districts in Catawba county that
will have less than four months school.
The words quoted from the Newton En-
terprise: There are twenty three dis
tricts that will have less than four
months school. on account of the small
number of scholars. None of them could
get any help from the extra appropria-
ton because they could not come up TO
the requirements of the law in the num-
Der of scholars
/ suppose from the comment you make
upon the words taken from the Enter
prise that you suppose the attendance,
or rather the want of attendance. is the
trouble with the twenty three districts.
The attendance is poor enough in
these special districts, and in fact is
dstressingly poor in the entire county
of Catawba, but the special trouble in the
said twenty-three districts is the small
area of territory which contains in each
case fewer pupils than Co. as the law re-
cuires.
Two of the greatest obstacles in the
way of progress in the public school are:
First, the poor attendance; second, the
great number of small districts in most
of the counties of the State.
Instead of combining and making
small near districts strong and effective,
the County Boards of Education in many
counties have increased the number OF
districts, dividing and sub-dividing the
territory, thus making fewer pupils to
each school and at the same time short
enng the school term.
In this way the term of the schools
has not increased in proportion to the
amount of increase in the school fund.
During the year 1887 Catawba county
had 66 school districts for white children,
and during the year 1899, or twelve years
later, the county had 70 schools, Or an
increase of thirteen schools. Why this
increase? Did not the Sc schools cover
the same territory? Has the county been
enlarged? 1t has not But some one
may say population has increased ana
therefore on this account the number of
districts must be increased. Not So the
increase of population would make it
necessary to increase the seating ca
pacity of each house or some of the
houses. but not necessary to increase
the number of houses.

holders, very poor. The public rural
school system is charity, if it is any
thing-this is an axiom-and must be
used as charity to the best advantage,
so as to benefit. as largely as possible,
those so provided for, hence the schools
must be so arranged as to get the chill

they cannot This seems clear and just,
and is so. The schools are provided for
the children, and must be so conducted
and at such times as to get them there.

of poor parents, from attending school,
except in very good and unusual wealth
er. Yet the non attendance is attributed
to Indifference and not to the compusion
of necessity. The Buncombe Board OF
Education realized this two years since
and established the duplicate, summer
and fall, graded system of schools. Last
summer some of the teachers in the
summer schools reported "every child
under 10 years at school this month.
The average was over so per cent. Did,
in this case, the proper kind of school
attract? They did, and they will, if
properly presented, do so in every county
in the State.

ing or controversial spirit. 1t comes

tricts and the increase of the number of
districts?
The first remedy is to have men on the
County Boards of Education who have
backbone and the courage to do their
whole duty.
The second remedy is to have a man
in the full sense of the word for County
Superintendent.
Let these four men stand shoulder to
shoulder in the work. They, of course,
must know first of all what is the right
thing to do, and dc it.
What is the special remedy for the
said twenty-three small districts in Ca
tawba county? l use this county as an
illustration, which will meet the case in
many other counties.
Catawba county needs to be entirely
redistricted. The 70 schools should be
cut down to about so. The number may
not be quite this small.
The County Board here has been talk
ing of doing this but it has not yet be-
gun.
Let the territory be divided up so as
to have no weak schools, or practically
none then we will have a basis to build
upon
What! shall We at this late day go TO
rearranging the schools Of the entire
county? Most assuredly this is the wise
thing to do, rather than to go on in the
harum scarum sort of way as we have
too long, too long for the good of the
children.
One word, Mr.. Editor, in regard to COM
pulsory education. l will not discuss the
question now, but simply say that the
very idea is against my very nature, but
have been driven to believe, after see
ing what / have seen, that a large per
cent of the white children will never
know the blessings that come with intel
ligenCe unless the strong arm of the law
in some degree comes to the rescue.
In Catawba, which is as good or even
better than some others, not even one
half of the children have been in regu-
lar attendance this year. Some of those
children do as they please and do not
wish to so to school, and others would
be glad to go if their parents would let
them.
1t will take more than "power of at
traction" to pull some of the worthless
fathers off the goods boxes and loafing
corners and make them go to work and
let their children go to school.

IN THE AIR.
The Germs Of La Grippe Are Conveyed
Through the Atmosphere.

No one can escape the La Grippe be-
cause when an epidemic of the disease is
prevailing the air is laden with it.
The reason that every one does not
have the disease at the same time is be-
cause the persons who are enjoying per-
feet health are able to successfully re-
sist and throw off the infection, while
those, who for any reason are not in the
best of health, fall ready victims.

The first symptoms are those of acute
catarrh resembling hard cold and if
prompt treatment is applied at this time,
it can easily be broken up; one of the
best remedies at this stage is Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, sold by druggists every
where, and if taken freely, say one tab
let every hour or two for two or three
days, the danger of pneumonia and seri-
Gus complications will be averted.
The Rev l.. e. almer, Baptist clergy
man of Ceresco, Mich, makes a state"
ment of interest to all catarrm and grip
sufferers. He says; "Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets have certainly been a blessing
to me. have used them freely this fall
and winter and have found them safe
guard against La Grippe and catarrhal
troubles from which l hive suffered for
years. l feel that | can freely and con-
scientiously recommend them"
Persons who suffer from catarrh of the
head and throat are very susceptible to
La Grippe and such will find a pleasant,
convenient and safe remedy in this new
catarrh cure.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
entirely of harmless antiseptics and may
be used as freely as necessary, as they
contain no cocaine, opiate or poisonous
drug of any kind.
