not purely local in nature. but haze
4 statewide value rs well.
Referring again to cost of the pro-
iects. Mr. Maxwell cited the proposed
bridge across Alligator river :
good example of the effect Of lDca-
ton.
Should bridge be built AT the
location of the present ferry, that
would present one problem: but
should the bridge be located farther
down stream, that would present an
entirely different one. The cost Of
one would differ very materially
from that of the other"
The Maxwell address in Hyde
brought to statewide attention the
highway problem which has been
agitating the Albemarle section for
a long time; and the Maxwell agree
ment that some three principal high
ways at least should be built in the
three counties of Dare, Tyrrcl and
Hyde brought unofficial estimates
from sources in the Highway Com
mission that the Commissioner had
let himself in for promise Of con-
struction which would cost $780,
600 at least.
The incident served again to focus
attention upon the general program
of the Commissioner OF Revenue who
has made one OF his principal planks
in the governors race the argument
that a minimum of S50,000.000 can,
and should, be spent in improve
ments designed to make North Car
olina's highway system completely
modern and on parity with the
system of neighboring states which
started to build good roads later than
North Carolina, but which have by
now caught up with this state, and
in some cases, by reason Of their
newer construction, gone ahead in
certain respects.

Erwin Gives
Figures On
State Schools
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
L. fhe Sir WaliCr Hotel.

Raleigh, March l.--Superintcnden
OF Public Instruction Clyde Erwin
today revealed some Of the answer!
10 many questions asked about NORTH
Carollna's public school system. How
many public schools are there in the
State? Is the number increasing OF
decreasing? How many pupils anc
how many teachers? What do the
schools cost? These and similar CUES
tons may be answered by the facts
here presented.
There are Approximately 5000
elementary and secondary thigh)
schools, with 8Sl,874 pupils enrolled
last year. From 1886 to 1898 the
number Of elementary schools de-
creased by 279, and the number Of
high schools Increased by ten. P!ac-
tically 80 per cent Of the total en-
rollment is in estimated that there
are more than a million children OF
school age in the state, so the en-
rollment of S8l.874 is approximately
50 per cent Of the possible maximum
attendance. More than $4,000 high
school pupils graduate each year
from the state supported high
schools.
There were 24,9OO teachers and
principals in all types of public
schools in the state in 1888. OF this
number 1850 were men. During re-
cent years there has been Il good
deal Of discussion of the predOmi-
hence Of women in the school rooms,
but many folks will be surprised to
lind that more than tour-fifthS Of
all teachers and principles are
women.
The cost Of the public school sys-
tenn runs into real money. In 1893
the public schools spent S29,l50,000
for current operation. Value of land,
buildings and equipment used is es-
timated by the department at Sll3,-
679,644. StupendouS as these operat-
ing cost figures appear to be, when
broken down they mean that if every
person of voting age in the state
would contribute ten cents a day, the
sum realized would be sufficient to
pay the cost Of educating the 1884
pupils enrolled in all Of the public
schools.
