Dr. Winston spoke in regard 10 the
county institutes and summer schools.
He said the various colleges il the
state could not educate all the teach
ers required. and one change asked
for TO remedy this is that every county
n the State appropriate $500 Di-an-
nually for county Institutes. The sug-
Gestfon is these appropriations be not
but made mandatory, really
decreasing the annual appropriation
by $l00, while q. county cannot afford
to spend this amount individually, two
counties may appropriate the amount
together. Dr. WINSTON spoke Of the
en- m tpar schools and NNDlained their
mission. what they had already accom-
l.shed in North Carolina. their ef-
feet upon teaching and the better re-
suits now apparent. They were an in
strument of Improvement absolutely

be about the right amount necessary
to ma ntain each summer school, in
event the tuition is free. He hoped
the committee would carefully con-
slider the establishment Of these
schools, and al the placed named. be-
cause they already had all the factli-
ties and shipments required. He said
these large plants should rot be re-

and 1t was proper fer the collecting
officer to settle with the board.
