A young authsr sends me the mann.
script OF a story. He claims he has u
new idea. His new idea" Is this: A
young man and woman are married IN
the usual way. and. during their hon
eymoon. love each other with great
devotion.
But In a year the young man nnds
he has tired OF his wife. from seeing
her 80 much: from too close associ'
ation, He supposes. Of course. that
she has not tired OF him; such pos
sihilIty does not enter his mind. How
ever. he resolves 20 he n square man
and confess 20 his wife just how he
feels. She also talks frankly, and u
develops that the wife IL as tired OF
the husband as the husband is OF the
wife.
I nm compelled TO report TO the
young author that this is no develop
ment OF a new fact In life.-E. w.

Your committee was not requested
to make any report about the teach
ers, etc, and therefore did not m AXE
any attempt to investigate. They do
know, however, that the pay is very
poor and no doubt the service render
ed is in proportion to the pay.
What education can one expect
from underpaid teachers? Who, with
sense or intelligence enough to do
other work, would want to hold 3. job
that pays less than is earned by the
ordinary negro laborer, who makes
$2o week or more. Statistics show
that the average rural school teacher
ooes not earn this much.
Ihe L. S. Bureau Of Education re-
ports that more than 40 per cent of
the ruraI school teachers in the United
states receive less than $500 per year.
that "a per cent receive less than $500
and IL per cent. less than $4O0, with
only per cent. receiving $1,000 or
more.

New York, July 15-On further

This Is quite q contrast to the pre-

room about 16x1S with only 8 desks
for the children. There is no water

desk for the teacher.

There is no water supply other than an
open well with dead frogs, ETC., float
ing on top. 1t is located in a SWAMP

desks in only one room and not enough
OF these The other rooms are equip
ped with benches. The school also
needs new screens or repairing the
old ones.

The trustees OF this school are to
be complimented. We find nothing to
report unfavorable whatsoever. The
only need is for two privies.
~. DuBose School.
We have very complimentary re-
port to make on this building. All
that Is necessary is repairs to the pri-
vies
When We refer to needed privies in

should either be the fiyproof pit or the
septic tank as prescribed by the state
board OF health.
%. Lawrence School
Needs q new building. Present
building is not fit for barn. There
are no suitable toilets of any kind. A
new building is needed all the way
around. 20 pupils enrolled. There are
plenty Of desks. There are no play

The porch needs a new floor, ceiling
and roof. One privy is in bad cbndi-
ton. Need two. There is no water on

for a building. Some repair work has

The School Musical.

! On Monday evening". May II, the
pupils Of the grades produced fine
musical program before a large and
enthusiastic audience.
The little pupils in the first grades
gave some very pretty spring songs
and singing games.
The little pickaninnies of the second
grade produced much laughter and en-
joyment for everyone.
The third grade dramatized in song
and action witch story in two acts.
The action and fine voices of the play-
ers added great deal to the program.
The fourth grade had beautiful
folk dance which they rendered so eff
fectively as to captivate the audi
ence.
The fourth and fifth grades combined
gave some excellent folk dances and
later a pretty little dramatic selection
portraying the coming OF spring. The
costumes of the pupils in all the
grades showed that parents and teach
ers had co-operated to make the en-
tertainment a great success.
The girls of the seventh and eighth
grades showed their musical ability by
giving stirring patriotic selection.
The audience showed its apprecia-
ton and enjoyment by much applause,
and it is safe to say that many who
were not able to attend regretted the
fact. It is to be hoped that such a
program can be put on another year.

Speeders and motorists running
without tail lights are still in evidence
o'nights, but there are not SO many of
them as there were a couple of months
ago. Speeders are much greater
peril to pedestrians than are the ma
chimes which omit tail lights, but the
marshal will get all violators.in course
OF time. He is now setting his traps
for that purpose. So violators Of the
law take warning. If you persist in
running your cars contrary to the
statute you will, sooner, or later, be
nabbed. ~
