This correspondent wants to en-
dorse the strong editorial in the
Leader last week on the attendance
if our schools In the first place,
our schools are just what we make
them-I mean by the support or att
tendance we give them and our CO.
operation with the teachers. We
have the schools conveniently located
over the county for the accommoda-
ion Of most people, with comfort
able houses, and as usual thing,
most of the schools have sufficient
teaching forces, who are competent
and efficient in the discharge of their
duties, with term long enough
each year to give any boy or girl a
liberal common education, which fits
them for the ordinary duties Of good
or if the boy or girl
wants higher education, he is pre-
pared SO that they are enabled, by
earnest efforts on their part, to Sc
cure a higher course. Besides these
facts, we have a good county sup
srintendent, supported by strong
board Of education, who are doing |
Ill they can for better schools and
longer terms. So, let everybody |
over our county make a strong pull
to make this the best year in the |
history Of our county schools. I'll
we had the time and SPACE we would
ike to say more on this subject, for
# there is any one thing Of public |
that we are interested in
more than another it is our public |
schools, coupled with good roads,
and If we have an educated people
good roads will be sure to follow.
