The County School Board

met i'm the council chamber last Fri
lay with every member present except
,ne. After careful consideration Of
the needs Of the school for another year
the Board unanimously asked the
Board Of Supervisors 10 increase the
district school levy for Buffalo Dis
trict DC on the 500, aud for Farmville
aud Hampden Districts, lOc on the
S1OO This increased levy is really
needed IN order 10 improve the condi-
ton of the school buildings in these
districts.
Tnis petition was laid before the
Board Of super, .sors who were also in
session on tine same day. The increase
for Buffalo was granted. Upon the
refusal Of the supervisors to grant the
increased levy asked for in the Fam
vile and Hampden districts the School
Board later asked for a reference Of the
question TO "a vote Of the qualified citi-
zen- Of these two districts, and the
Supervisors thereupon ordered a vote
to be taken at the regular polling
places in these districts on Tuesday,
September II. The issue therefore is
laid squarely before the voters Of these
districts as 10 whether they want bet
ter schools or not. The funds now
available are ia the judgment Of the Is
men who compose the county school
board, and have Informed themselves
in the matter, utterly inadequate to the
proper rum ne Of the schools Of these
districts. la Hampden District it will
actually be necessary TO close several
Of the schools uOless an increase Of
le, is granted because the school
houses have become unfit to teach in
and there il no money with which to
repair them.
It's believed that when the people
understand the condition Of affairs
they will gladly furnish money by
this slight increase in taxes to provide
their children with proper school IA
elites. But mo-, Of this matter next
week.
Owing to the sickness Of Mr.. Ewing,
the treasurer, some OF the clerks were
unable TO complete their annual re-
ports on that day. These reports
should be sent in TO the superinten-
dent at the earliest possible date as he !
will be required to send in his annual
report to the State Superintendent not |
later than September 10th.
1t will be Of interest to all to know |
that owing to the increased State APP |
Of sos, 900 this county will |
be able to raise the salary Of its teach
ers this year.
Hampden, Leigh and Lockett dis
tricts have already chosen teachers for
next session, Famvi'le has supplied
most OF ais schools, and Buffalo will
soon set a day for the election Of lts
teachers.
There has been no difficulty thus
far ~ securing lst grade teachers for
all Of our white schools.
A list Of the teachers thus far APP
pointed will be given IN next weeks
issue Of the Herald.

M Hiqh School For Cumberland.

Editor Hroid: Every week we
read of the establishing of high s. hools
in our sister counties, i'm some coun-
lie, as many as two, and as yet not
one eno-t has been made, that we
have heard of, i'm our county.
There are schools i'm some districts
in which it is imperative that a graded
school be established, what then can
be the matter?
Cumberland tax payers are assess
ed AS much school tax as any other
county andwe understand the treas
ury has more money for schools than
ever before. Then why is it that we
cannot have better schools? What
has become of our division Superin-
tendent? We have not heard Of
him: is he to come around and know
our needs, and advise with our county
Superintendent, OF who are we to look
10 for our advancement i'm education
Are we 20 sit with folded arms and
see the boys and girls Of Cumberland
grow up to be ignorant men and wo-
men. because we are too modest to
make our wants known ?
Let us stir our energies then and
not in after year, look at the progress
Of our sister counties and know that
they owe il TO education, while Cum
berland in seeing their advancement
might sigh and say at might have
BEEN
Our needs are larger school houses,
more and good teachers, good situa-
tiOns, let as have them
