What FedetalAid Wilk Mean To North Carolina Schools
The Federal Aid to Educa
tion Bill has passed the
Senate and goes to the
House of Representatives
for consideration.
If it passes, the schools
of North Carolina will re
ceive annually some over
^22,000,000.
This sum will represent
quite an increase in the
total budget for schools
for a year and caj:a bring
about some much needed im
provements.
P\ iO
North Carolina ranlcs last
of all the states in the
number of children per
teacher. North Carolina
teachers are required to
teach nore children per
teacher. If the money is
made avai.lablo, it is ray
opinion that no better
use coxild be made of .'it
than to reduce the teacher
load.
Objections are raised to
Federal aid to schools by
its critics who say that
education is a function of
the states and that Feder
al aid vdll bring Federal
control. The vocational

state, and federal govern
ments, and control there
has not become unreason
able, Ue like to see our
state make progress in its
schools, and we also be
lieve that Federal aid
would benefit the schools
of our state more than it
would harm them^
Early schedule has begun
for the school. The first
bell rings at 8:10 A. M,
and the last at 2:30 P. 'M,
The early opening and
cloning hours have been in
stalled in an effort to
help the farmers get their
vrork done and at the same
time to keep their chil
dren in school. Unless you
take advantage.; of the ex
tra time available, we are
wasting time from the
standpoint of both the
home and the school.
Will each student in our
school, especially those
above tho fourth grade,
define for himself and her
self "School Spirit”?
