ONE TEACHER CLASS POOREST
Convincing Argument for the policy
of the County to Abolish and Con-
soldate Weaker Schools Is Fur
nished by Statistics.
lFrom Friday's Daily Herald. ]

From Fridays Daily Herald)
One of the strongest arguments that
could be made in favor of the consoli-
,dation of rural schools is revealed in
1.-The annual report which Prof. John p.
Graham, county superintendent, is pre-
pairing for the state department of ed
ucation. These statistics show that
pupils attend the larger and stronger
schools much better than they do the
one teacher schools of the county
| The incentive to attend, the interest
in the work of the school, the esprit
de corps as it were, is much better
| in the two and three teacher schools
than it is in TIE one teacher school.
The larger the school, even Ihough
the average distance that theHpupil
must travel to reach it be greater, the
better the percentage of attendance to
the enrolment of the pupils. These
are figurs that make an eloltent plea
for the continuation of the county's
policy of abolishing and consolidating
the one teacher schools.
During the past scholastic year
there were enrolled in the 'one teach
er white rural schools of Maury coun-
ty 1916 pupils. The average attend
ance in these schools was I'll The
percentage of attendance to enroll
ment was tifty-eight and fraction,
In the same year there were enroll
ed in the two teacher schools of the
county a total of 1857 with an aver.
age attendance every day of 754 pu.
pills, The percentage of attendance to
enrolment in the schools of this class
was siXty-four and a fraction. In 9th
err words by doubling the number OF
teachers and size of the schools the
average attendance was increased six
per cent.
During the year there were 1000 Pu-
pills enrolled in the three teacher, ru-
raj schools of the county. Of,this num-
Der 1885 attended school every day
The attendance to enrolment in these
schools was sixty-seyen and frac-
ton per cent. In other words in the
che teacher schools only fifty-eight
out of 100 pupils attended school every

day; in the two teacher schools sixty
four out of every hundred enrolled
attended school every day, and in the
three teacher schools sixty-seven out
of every hundred enrolled were at
their desks every day of the term.
This, declared Prof Graham, is che
CT the strong reasons why the taXpay-
ers should favor consolidation.

London, July 6th.-Generai SHUTS,
Premier of the Union of South Africa
who has just returned from a visit to
Ireland, publicly expressed his opinion
tonight that the Irish problem is a sol
uble problem. This statement was
greeted with loud apI lause by the dis
tinguished company which attended q
dinner given in honour of General SHUTS
by the South African colony in London.
General SHUTS opened his speech by de-
claring that he had not abandoned hope
of the United States. 'She is a shy
maiden and must not be wooed too warm
ly", he said. Il want to see that the
United States pull with US in this great
world service that today is being rem
dered by the British Empire almost
alone. Abiding humorously to his
visit to lrelan he declared that
he found the people divided in two
classes, those in jail and those on
the run" He added, that he HIMSELF
had been among those on the run, seek
ing to escape reporters and cameramen.
The Irish problem, said General SHUTS,
was one largely engaging the whole
British Empire" 1t was a problem how-
ever, on which he could not speak to-
night except to express the belief that
IL was soluble, q u mat lnGF6 was q oct
ter atmosphere. If we all help to create
a better atmosphere and are determined
to wipe out what is really a stain on the
Empires record, we shall succeed. ,"
Therefore, he continued emphatically,
| think | am hopeful, | trust that the
question will be solved ard that thereby
the British Empire will be freed from
the imputation that in this ancient part
of the United Kingdom there still exists
violation of the fundamental principles
upon which the Empire rests. | say that
the problem is soluble, because | have
seen it solve in my own country, under
circumstances less embittered than in
Ireland, but certainly of a very difficult
character too. If ever this problem Of
the subsection of one people to another
presented a hopeless view it was in South
Africa, but finally in a spirit of give and
take. forbearance and trying to render
something to the point of view OF the
other side, we solved the problem, and
today South Africa is one of the bapplest
countries in the Empire. Our forbear-
ance and self sacrifice have p id US hand@
some dividends in our national HE.
