One school with SO ch'ldren enrolled has an average attendance of The average seems to be about 17 per cent better than last year. This shows that the people are learn'ng he value of the system.
Arother effect of the system is shown in the rapid decrease in the per-oentago of illiteracy of children between th ages of 12 and 20. In 1899 this to estimated at 13. Tt is now- about throe. In one district every negro child but one can read and write, and the nesrr teachor of that district prom- lsee that this one shall learn to rend and write this year. How has this been accomplished? aslcs Mr.
Claxton and answers bv sav- lng thnt Supt. Venable has recognized and arp'ie a few principles that should be Thev are: First. The schools are for the chil dren, and in 'or the teachers, school committeemen, or politicians. They should therefore be taught at a time when the childrn can attend most regularly and ith least cost. F- hil-dren under nine years old in this county the best months in the year are June, July.
August. September, and Oc tober. For those old to work on the farm (from 12 years up) the best month 3 re Ausrust. September. October.
November and December. Children from nine twelve can verv well at tend through all these months. the schools are open from the first of June to tho last of December. Children of the first four grades are admitted at the bog-inning. About the last of November and December.
In this way children of the first, second, and third grades may attend five months from the first of June to the last of October. Children of the fifth, sixth, seventh, oighth and ninth grades, five months fr-omi tho first of August to Christinas. Children of the fourth grades ftoo nmn.ll to he of much use on the farm, but enough to brave the weather of November and December) may attend the entire seven months. If the nchool ha.s two teachers, one begins work the first of June, the other when the higher grades are admited. Hoth continue to the end of the session.
If th. re are three teachers, two are employed at the beginnings one for the finst and second grades and one for the third 1111,1 fourth: the third with th higher gr-ol-'s and the these grades are disc mtinued. If the school is sm i c.mnot affoiV r-uro -h. m4 then this "tier mac. dn -r this arrangement, give all her time to the first four grades for two months, in which time thc.su- younger children get a good start an 1 are able to work with lest help than Is needed at first.
After the lower are discontinued she (rtvas all her time to the remaining grade. Some nohools empToy an assistant, we believe, for the three months ien all the grad-s are in. in this way both time and money are economized. S.M-ond. The value of the school wherever taught must depend, on the oliaract, of the teacher.
So Suik rin-V-ndent Venable is raising the standard of qualification of his teachers a.s fast well can. ICxaminations are made iiiiore comprehensive and the grading wore strict. Nepotism and favoritism discouraged, teachers are en-hi uracol to remain and poor ones are weeded out.

latter" life. He is eminently fitted by i haracter, ability and legislative experience for the positkn of presiding officer of the next Hoi'se. In Washington he is widely known and highly esteemed. He has been r.ot only a picturesque, but a forceful figure in national legislation. The Washington (D.
Star thinks that "to the average Southerner the President" plan for building up a strong Republican organization In the Bouth ii.eans only negro supremacy." It must conIssed that that's about the size of it. Fourth. Oool schools are hardly possible without good houses. Much money is waste 1 in building school-houses without suitable plans. Superintendent Venable has himself prepared a number of excellent plans for houses of one, two, thre, four, or more room? and ha" drawn up specifications to aucompAny them.
Houses built after those plans are neat, comfortable, and convenient Some of these plans were i in a recent number of the Atlantic, ar.d have attracted attenl. of iupe-intf nib nts and school directors in all parts of the South. There have been built in the county this year two house with three rooms each, and seven with one room. The las! are centrally located at consolidation paints, and so built as to permit being added to without tearing away any part of them. The eleven houses cost more than Fifth.
The moneys legally belonging to schools should be used for school purposes, and the smallest amount possible should be used for other purposes than the pay of teachers and the legitimate and necessary incidental expenses. Superintendent Venable has simplified the machinery of the schools as much as possible under tne circ*mstances. By suits in court and constant vigilance he has turned inta the school fund large sums of money that jhad been diverted to other purposes, jand secured the repayment of funds jthat had been borrowed from it by county authorities. Of course, people who do not under- stand it have opposed this progress. is always so.
Politicians have tried to make capital of minor mistakes and of the unintelligent discontent which may always be found if diligently sought for. Ciifortunately this, too, is always so. But the truth remains that Superintendent Venable has done a most valuable service for the schools of his county. He has devised and put into operation a plan which will eventually be adopted in all the counties of the upland South at least, and will do much toward relieving this section of the burden illiteracy. So far as we know thee is nowhere in operation a better plan for getting the greatest good out an inadequate school fund.
There mry be superintendents more energeti and devoted to their work, but we have never met one of them. He has made the egg; stand on end, and has shown others how it can be done. NEGROES GUNNING TOR TARHEEL OFFICIALS A special dispatch from Washington to tho Raleigh Post, in discussing the between the President and Senior Pritchard, says: is charged that several of Collector Duncan's deputies threatened to use physical force on colored delegates at i Ireensboro. if they did not leave the hall In which the Republican State convention met, and this is to be used ngainst the collector by colored influence, which will seek to bring about his removal along with that of District Attorney Harry Skinner. As yet no developments have come to light in the fight which is to be made.
It is to be imagined that the indignation of the President and Postmaster General Payne would be rought to a high pitch if it is shown to them that colored were threatened with force for -eking to attend a Republican convention. Two of the revenue deputies, ih'im. it claimed, threatened colored delegates with bodily harm, are John iiilr.iix and A. Starbuck."

The right of a passenger to pull the hell oord or any other cord on a street ca. when his signal to the conductor been ignored, has recently been adjudicated by the courts, with the verdict in favor of the passenger. The case in point was one in which an ordinarily mild tempered citizen had lost ids temper, when a careless conductor failed to stop when the passenger had pressed the button, and in a spirit of letaliHtlon the passenger grabbc 1 for the bell cord to give the motorman the signnl himself. In his haste he grab-tad the wrong strap, and succeeded only tn tinging up several fares without accomplishing anything in the way of stopping the car, whereat the conductor lost his temper and caused the arrest of the pa-sseneer for disturbance of the peace.
