SWUMN6EN TALKED TO TRUSTEES HERE SATURDAY--"SOMETHING ROTTEN IN DENMARK*' IN SCHOOL BOOK DEAL. The Trustees' meeting at the school auditorium was called to order Saturday at noon by Chairman B B Chandler. The roll-call showed twenty-four out of fifty-two trustees present. A half dozen or more came in later, however, and a numhpr of others interested in the sub ject of education were present, making altogether a gathering of nearly two hundred people, Mr Chandler in a few preliminary remarks suggested that an old-time "experience meeting" be held. There being no immediate response. Superintendent of Education McCullough requested Prof 0 M Mitchell to give the audience the benefit of his experience and observation as to the advantages derived from consolidation of schools. Prof Mitchell, always obliging, responded with a very interesting talk along the line suggested. Taking his own school, Union High school, as a concrete example, Mr Mitchell told of the remarkable development wrought, which in large measure would have been impracticable without consolidation. Prof Mitchell is a forceful speaker, brim-ful of energy and enthusiasm in the high and honorable calling he has elected to fulfill and his remarks were heard with close heed that no doubt will inspire others to greater effort. The Union 3chool, aithougn more tnan twenty miles from a railroad, in a not too thickly settled community, is easily the banner rural school in the county and no doubt has few equals in the State. Call it consolidation, if pou please, but we have a private opinion that the chief dynamic power has been pluck.perseverance and the 3pirit of progress embodied in Prof Mitchell and his excellent school board, whose chairman. Hon B B Chandler, as we all know, is a pretty live wire himself. At the close of Mr Mitchell's speech,Hon E C Epps, in fitting lan?uage, introduced Hon J E Swt aringen. the State Superintendent of Education. The main thought embodied in Mr Swearingen's address which followed was: "The School Trustee and His Duty." He paid a glowing tribute to the trustees of the State and wished that they could all mee t to?it j 1 : trier auu excnauge iucos. mcic are 6,000 trufitees in the State and whatever they united in demanding would have tc be done. For patriotic, unselfish constructive service we have no more potent factor iri the upbuilding of our State than the jchool trustee.

Pissing on to the school book adoption Mr Swearinger reviewed the matter of the sweeping changes ' made, for which up to the present time no good reason has been vouch-, safed. He would not accuse any one , of being corrupt, because he could 1 not prove corruption, but it looked very much as if there was "some-1 thing rotten in Denmark."

Whi e not eloquent, he is a plain, ' practical, logical speaker, impressing ( everyone as being intensely in ear- j nest. He had the audience with him, j especially when he touched on the | school book controversy. When he had concluded his speech i Senator Epps offered resolutions j commending Superintendent Swear I ingen for the stand he had taken i n i the text book matter. These resolutions were unanimously adopted.
