Our August Clearance Sale Continues.
We are fast getting rid of all summer goods—left-overs of every kind—and
necessarily so, because fall goods are here and we are compelled to have the
room. September 1st marks the beginning of fall business with us, therefore
stocks must be clean by that time. Many thing’s will bo sold this week at
a small fraction of former prices. This opportunity may never occur again.

We will not say how many Skirts we sold last week.
It would sound to our competitors like an idle boast and
then, too. wc think modesty one of the cardinal virtues.
However, wc believe we sold more than all the other stores
in town combined, ami we know, if this l>c tme, ‘twas due
to the extraordinary values offered. One more week the
sale continues, then prices go back to normal.

Under the caption “Defects, Needs,
Remedies of the Public School System
of the South,” there ha« recently been
Issued by a committee composed of J.
H. Joyner, of North Carolina, H. A.
Whitfield, of Mississippi, and S. A.
Mynders, of Tennessee, a pamphlet
dealing with the problem of education
as It now exists In the South. These
three men ara the superintendents of
education for their respective states, and
were appointed to prepare this pam
phlet at the fell meeting of the Asso
ciation of Superintendents of Public
Instruction of the Southern States In
Atlanta.
The statements made regarding the
present school system In the country
districts are disheartening In the ex
treme. Comparative statistics show
that while the average monthly salary
for the teacher for the country at large
Is 249 for men and 240 for women.
In the Southern states It is 25.68 for
men, 130.47 for women. The average
length of the achn«,: term for the coun
try nt large la 145 days; for the New
England or North Atlantic states 177.2;
for the Southern states. Including Ten
nessee. Mississippi, North Carolina,
8outh Carolina, Louisiana. Arkansas.
Georgia. Alabama, Texas, Virginia and
Florida 99 days.
There are few high schools In these
Southern states found outside the city
or town, “and”, to quote from the text,
“the work done In the average coun
try school la to elementary th<xt tt falls
to furnish adequate preparations for
college or university, or for civic, *o-
olml and Industrial service.”
Cost of Education in Schools.
For every man. woman and child of
Its population, the country at large la
spending 12.99 for the education of Its
children: the South spends barely 98
cents. The country nt large spends for
each child of school uge 310.57; the
Southern states spend for each child of
school age within their borders 14.05.
In the distribution of wealth the
Southern states show the smallest
amount of of property on a per capita
distribution, and In illiteracy they rank
highest.
The writers of the pamphlet show the
natural deduction that Illiteracy and
poverty go hard In hand. The census
of 1900 shows that 24 per cent, of the
white population of the United States
ta found In the Southern states; It alao
shows that of the white ntlteratea over
10 years old in this country 64 per cent
are found tn these atatea.
The fact tc dwelt on that the rural
South Is an agricultural section, where
the people are dependent entirely on
the district school for education; that
these schools qye the strategic polnta
j In the educational system of the South
ern states. The committee urges the
upbuilding of these schools sa the
means of preserving Agricultural life
and as a means of keeping the boys and
girls on the farm.
averago rural school.
S. More competent superintendents.
4. Longer school terms.
5. The consolidation of schools, with
more teachers employed.
6. The establishing of more public
high schools.
7. More money to run tho schools.
The little pamphlet Is an excellent
one and should commend Itself at once
to all broad-minded citizens of each
Southern state, and privisions for a
more adequate educational system
should be one of the first concerns of
each legislature.
The South has achieved much since
the war, but It still has more to do.
Dire poverty followed on the heels of
the bloodiest war In the history of
modern times, and carpet-bng rule nnd
the attempt to reconstruct the South
Interfered for more than n decade af
ter tho war with her Industrial and ed
ucational development. Homes had to
be rebuilt and devastated fields had to
be put into condition for cultivation—
the keeping of the body, In fact, had to
be considered before the cultivation of
the mind. Then, too, the Old South,
following other of Its seml-feudal cus
toms. had a system of prlvnte schools,
ench plantation owned one for hla ten-
ante and poorer neighbors, and the
public school was not kindly considered
until some time atfer the war. Consid
ering these facta, the growth It has
made, though a poor and stow one, la
■till to be commended.
Table of Illiterates in South.
Enterprising statisticians have found
the following number of Illiterates ex
isting In the Southern states, the fig
ure* being baaed on the census of 1900,
and tho agea chosen between 10 and 14.
It must be remembered, however, that
a great percentage of these la negroes.
In Arkansas there art illiterates be
tween 10 and 14. 26.978.
In Virginia. 34,612.
In Texas, 86,491.
In Tennessee, 86,875.
In Mississippi. 44.SS4.
North Carolina. 51.190.
South Carolina. 61.636.
Louisiana. 66.69L «
Georgia. 63.829.
Alabama. 66.972.
An early attempt was made In Ten
nessee to provide for the education of
her children. In 1806 the legislature
act aside 100,000 acres for two colleges
In the atate and an equal turn for es
tablishing an academy in each county,
and to make provision for public
schools. Through mismanagement or
because the lands given conflicted with
prior settlers’ claims, the fund was
never realized and the money to be
subsequently raised was by tax. either
state or county. The state rate ta now
16 cents on the hundred dollars.
The Remedies Given,
The remedies for the deplorable con
dlttons Just act forth ere offered by the
board ee fotowe:
L There should be respectable
achoolkauees with neceaeary equip
ments and pleasing surrounding*.
2. Good teachers should be em
ring x teacher of ability tn the
Bad roads and poor buildings are re~
sponsible for the failure of many rural
schools. The consolidation of school*
and the transportation of children
from their homes to the schools has
been found In some counties In the
South to be an economical plan, for
better roads were then demanded and
better schools nnd teachers furnished
for the same amount of money form
erly expended on scattered schools.
Tho greatest trouble seems to be in
reaching and keeping together tho
children of the “poor whites” and
mountaineers, but what little has been
done Is so encouraging that much
more la promised for the future.
Time to be Wider Awake.
When awakened to the keen need of
education/and when made to see Its
economic aa well as lta esthetic side,
the people of the' South will rally to
the call of these progressive superin
tendents and do much toward building
up their educational system. The
trouble la, they are so alow about
waking.

Six years ago I had a severe attack of

had did me no good. They changed med
icines every week and nothing they pre
scribed seemed to help me. Finally I be

joints were swollen temblv, and at one
time my Joints were so swollen and pain

What th« Teacher Is Paid.
Tbs average county superintendent
of education In the South gets leas than
8660 n year for hts services. Shelby
county, with the second beat system
of schools In Tennessee, does much
better by her progressive officials, but
not very far away Is a county which
paya lta superintendent only |56. and
he must necessarily follow some other
occupation and take thla work as
merely a side line. Naturally hla
schools suffer.
The average teacher tn the rural dis
tricts of Tennessee is paid so small an
amount that If ahe did not live at home
or find fomethlng else to do In the
summer months, she could not eke
out a living. 8he gets Icaa dally than
the county apportions out for the sup
port of each of iu criminal*.
