 The country schools of Etowah will have a shorter school year next year than for the two just passed. The payment of poll tax has fallen off considerably and there will be less money available for the schools than heretofore. This IS the statement of County Superintendent J. D Williams.
 The coming election of the city board of education is causing considerable dis cussion as it is understood that some changes are contemplated by the council The schools for many years have been In practically the same hands, and as IS usual in such cases, there IS some uls- satisfaction. Whether this will be enough to cause the council to make changes in the personnel of the board or not is not known at this time, but rumor has it that such will be the case. The city schools have apparently been in good hands and much progress has been made, still not all can be satisfied The schools under Superintendent Stripling have been improved until they are recognized as be- ing the equal of any In the state, and 1t is doubtful if a change for the better can be accomplished.
