Some Sad Facts.

l have often heard it said that
figures do not lie. 1t that be
true then the following figures
show lamentable state CT 10
difference or lack of interest in
the educational welfare of their
children on the part of the white
people of this county.
There are 1856 white children
of educable age in the county
and at least 80 per cent of them
are in easy reach of a public
sdhool, there being, in the coun-
ty 30 schools aud two in another
county which Oktibbeha children
attend; yet, there were last ses
sion only 1865 enrolled in all the
schools during the term. Just
about SO per cent. The number
enrolled made a total average
for the term of only 993,
There is some one to blame for
this. 1t is not the children, be-
cause they do not realize the i'm
portance Of all education. The
principal fault lies with the pa.
reats. They find too many ex-
cuses for keeping their children
at home thereby cheating them
out of what is Justly their due.
And the teachers are som what to
blame In that they do not use
every effort IN the first place to
have the children enroll and in
the next place to have them at
tend regularly.
For II years / contracted with
my teachers according to grade
