Superintendent Rouse then explained some of the objects of the 'Teachers and Trustees Associations, and explained that the special reason for this joint meeting was for the purpose of explaining, discussing and arranging for Field Day which is to be.held at Chesterfield Court House on the 28th of this month. He explained the object of Field Day and said he was very much gratified at the Interest displayed, and of the cooperation he was receiving from the teachers. the trustees, parents of the children and from the children themselves. and as a result of which he was sure the event was going to be a great success. In the course of his talk Mr. Rouse made a statement which was very * 9 Deposit y< >j ' ========= II T.- D i ine DanK Cheraa STRONGER THAN ALL OTHER B 40 compoi 0 iri savii gratifying. He said that last year but of 45 counties in the State Chesterfield was fortieth in the list per capita, but that already this year she was pushing close to tenth place and he felt sure she would land safely in tenth place before the close of the vear. Last year Chesterfield raised only about $6 per capita for educational purposes, and this year the per capita has already been increased to a tittle more than 513, and he gave the teachers and trustees associations the credit, saying that without the hearty cooperation he had received from hem he could have accomplished very little, and he went on to say that the hearty cooperation or tne teacners ana the trustees''was bearing great fruit in all of the schools. He stated that there were only five school districts in the county that had no special levy for the benefit of their schools, but that at least three of these will hold elections in the near future. As an illustration of the general interest being taken in the cause of education in the county, Mr. Rouse told of instances where the people went down in their pockets and subscribed liberally, in addition to voting for. special levys. Mr. Rouse also called attention to the Summer School for teachers, explaining that the matriculation fee of every teacher attending from this F I RC ' , V\- ' . ' : nake a specialty of wntjo^i / ne84 Maynard-Rali < county would be returned and that the expenses of every teacher taking the full six week's course would be 'returned, and that preference would be given, in the selection of teachers, to those who attended the summer school. Mr. W. J. Tiller^told about the farm demonstration schools in the county, of which there are three. He told .why there were only three and said that he hoped to have the full quota another year. j The program for Field Day as pubas published in last week's Chronicle was here read and explained, after which Prof. 0. H. Orr made a talk on the Moral Side of the Question of Field Day. Prof. Orr was listened to with close attention and was liberally cheered when he closed.
