Report of the State Inspector of Public High Schools of North Carolina for the scholastic year ending June 30 ..including a report of the city and town high schools. . oftheir constituents and will not needlessly cripple any county county board of education is usually composed of only three persons andare generally not directly responsible to the people. One of the reasons urged in recent legislatures for requiring members ofthe board of education to be elected by the people is to make them moredirectly responsible to those who pay the taxes as well as cast the votes. Theexperience of a century has shown that those who expend the public mopneyare rendered much more careful and economical when they are elected di-rectly by the voters than when appointed to office. In this case it appears that the increased valuation of property in GranvilleCounty has yielded over $1,500 additional school taxes, and for this reason itis urged the estimates of the commissioners are sufficiently high. Whetherthey took into consideration the expense of the four so-called high schools thejudge below will of course ascertain. It is presumed that they Miss Conrad completed an eleven-year course in ten years with a perfectattendance record. She was presenton time every day throughout her tenyears of preparation in the LexingtonGraded School.—Supt. 0. V. Woosley. Miss Mary Cornelia ConradLexington, N. C.

Her scholarshipaverage when she was in the seventhgrade was 94; in the eighth grade ;in the ninth grade 87; in the tenthgrade 85; in the eleventh grade is an attractive girl, and we areproud of her record here.—Supt.
