RALEIGFi, N. c., May 9.-As an indi-
cation of the progress Of public educa-
tion in North Carolina during the five
years since 1902, it is a significant fact
that 1881 new public schoolhouses have
been erected in the State, in accord
ance with plans approved by the State
Superintendent OF Public Instruction,
conforming In all respects to modern
principles of school architecture-an
average of more than one schoolhouse
for every day in the year. This fact
is developed in the official report OF
the State superintendent Of Public In
struction, just completed for the past
fiscal year. and now in the hands of
the State printers.
1t is also shown that the value OF
public school property has increased
from S1,li5.31G to s4o5o42s-nearly
quadrupled in five years. The number
of rural schools equipped with patent
desks has increased from 100 to Lac;
the special tax districts from thirty
to 62b. and the funds raised by special
tax from $4,000 to s546,l31. During
the past year alone more than 100 local
taS districts were established by vote
- 80 t'SoPiNs ahA Tie ullN luCTedSeu
more than LOT per cent.
During the five years more than
l,Sc0 rural school libraries have been
established, with upwards of 10000
volumes and S25 supplementary libra
-ries. with $4,000, the record being more
than one rural school library for every
day in the year for the past year
The permanent school loan fund now
amounting to 100000 and steadily In
creasnS from interest and sales of
swamp lands, is enabling many school
districts to build good houses. with
good equipment that could not have
otherwise had them for many years.
And the $4,000 appropriation by the
last Legislature for establishing public
high schools. with local aid. has caused
the establishment of 1856 high schools
in elghty-one counties, each locality
aided being required to at least o1upli-
cate the amount loaned by the State.
County superintendent are employed
for all their time in flfty-one counties,
and all others are employing them for
more of their time than ever before,
and the average annual salary has
been doubled within the five years.
