Prof A. NJ. Soule in Southern Farm
magazine Of Baltimore for February:
For many years it was thought tina,
the South could not make dairy pro-
ducts economically. The experiment
stations have demonstrated the fall
acy of this proposition and milk and
butter can be made at reasonable
prices as compared with the cost In
other sections. Homegrown crops,
where crop rotation is practiced and
the crops selected for cultivation on
q common-sense basis. will furnish
rations eminenty well suited for the
ncurishment of the COW at a moder.
ate cost and without necessitating tbs
purchase OF any considerable quantity
of concentrates other than cootonseed
meal which is the cheapest high
class protein food on he market to-
day. The physical conditions can
thus be changed to meet the require
ments Of dairy husbandary by the ex-
eTclSe Oh ibteiiiSeice dhu Shili ob w
part of the farmer, and those other
natural deficiencies which high tem-
peratures seem to fasten on the South
can be overcome through the aids Of
science referred to- The way IS clear
since referred to. The way is clear,
therefore, for the establishment Of
dairy farming, either on the coopera-
tive principle so admirably and sue
cessfully followed in the northwest or
for the development OF the home diary
in an ever-inoreasing ratio.

Many of our readers will doubtless
wonder why this department has been
discontinued for some time. We will
say, by way of explanation that there
has been some misunderstanding be-
tween the manager of the paper and
the editor of this department. In re-
gard to the publishing of some arti-
cles for this department. However,
this has been adjusted and this de-

Yours very truly,
vALLIE c. GAIN, Tegcher

The superintendent is making his
annual tour of the schools. He finds,
| generally, progressive schools and en-
thusiastic teachers There are many
! square plugs in round holes in this
life. and we find them in the teaching
profession as in other callings A
teachers ability 10 teach cannot be
determined altogether at first obserya-
ton. Tine alone will show whether
his efforts are of any value OF not.
But taking all things and circum-
stances into consideration the schools
are doing good work We find some
needed revisions in the school law It
seems 10 us the greatest hindrance
on the farms or at home again. The
regular attendance The compulsory
school law should be so amended to
compel the boards of education to APP
point truant officers instead OF leav-
ing it optional with them These off,
GERS duties would be to hunt up pu-
pills irregular in attendance and those
who do not attend at all and compel
them to attend school All children
shourdl be in school at least four
months of the year, between the ages
of and a.
Many parents keep their children
out of school till the holidays and
then only allow them two months of
schooling, WHEN they are put to work
eral average on attendance This
people are taxed TO support the free
schools-the rich man to school the
poor mans children. BY not having
some authority to compel obese chill
dren to attend school the very pur-
pose for which this tax is levied Is
defeated.
You will no doubt notice that many
OF the schools make such poor gen
eralera1 average of attendance. This
is sometimes charged to the teacher
when in rality it is not his fault. The
law requires that when pupil is en-
rolled at a certain school-if for only
one or two daysG-he must be carried
along throughout the term the same
as If he had been in attendance every
day. 1t is impossible for teacher to
report good average attendance
when this occurs. The teacher should
be required to report the attendance
by the month. Then when pupils had
left the school and moved TO other dts
tricts could be dropped, and the gem
eral average would not be so bad.
Another hinderance to the schools
is scarity of text books in the schools.
Each board should have its own book
depository and have flee books or
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1908-02-08

books purchased by the board for the
pupils. The tax for free books would
not amount to anything compared to
the cost TO which the parent is sub
jected to each year for new text
books.
Some pupils do not have the suffi-
cient amount OF books, consequently
cannot advance as they should. We
shall speak of this subject In more
practical !. nse later on.
Berkeley county schools are not up
to a standard of perfection, but the
boards are doing all they can under
the circumstances, for their upbuild-
ing, and the teachers for the advance
ment OF the schools. If we compare
the schools Of today with that OF ten
years ago we will see great change
for the better.
