for education, there is spent of this amount less than $50000. or per cent, on the rural schools, which go per cent of the farmers children depend for their education.
 ''I am not arguing that we should give our church schools and other incorpor- ated institutions one whit less, for they need much more than they are now get ting, but l do hold that if the negro is to keep apace with the growing demand of the white mans civilization our educa- tional effort must reach and help the black boys and girls in every back woods community of the south, for it is there ignorance is thckest and opportunity most inadequate.
 T repeat, therefore, that every time we take up a collection in our rural churches for a school some hundred or more miles away we should take another for the little school right in that very community, where the members of that church send their children for three or four months every winter. In this way, through self help, we can extend the short and inadequate sessions of the coun- try school and pay salaries sufficient to attract capable teachers-for there Is our problem"
 This has been a very effective institute. Professor Batler, the county superintend- ent of education, has the general over sight He has worked up a large ct tendance. Henry c. Binford, the colored principal presided.

 Last Saturday a party composed or T. B. McNaron of this place, w. w. Shortridge, Alex Gilbreath of Cutters vile and c. H. Armstrong of Birming- ham made the trip to Huntsville over the proposed route and all claim this IS the most feasible route. They state that the roads are In splendid condi- tion, free from grades except Sand mountain, and that this grade can be easily remedied by the proper change of the grades.
 The distance from here to Huntsville is AT miles and the roads can be put in fine shape for very little cost. A pike road is already built part of the way, making the total distance from Huntsville to Birmingham 121 miles, via Albertville, Boaz and Oneonta. There Is a splendid road from Oneonta
 to the Magic City. The good roads movement Is on in earnest in Marshall and Madison for the model highway, as there is only one mountain to cross this way. and the proposed route by Decatur is over one mountain after the other.
