In practically all of our various
departments and activities we are
in the front rank as compared to
our sister cities. However, there is
one outstanding exception in this
splendid record—our public schools.
I believe that we are in as good
financial condition to supplement
the ninth month as are the other
cities of Xorth Carolina that have
voted school supplements.

City Manager.
REQUIRED TO TAKE
ENTRANCE EXAMS
Will the students of Goldshoro
High School, which has lost its A
rating, he required to take entrance
examinations to enter college?
Students are not admitted to the
University of Florida from non
accredited institutions without ex
aminations.
H. W. Chandler, Registrar.
University of Florida.
If a school is removed from the
accredited list we usually continue
the certificate privilege for one
year. After that time we require
entrance examinations.
H. H. Caldwell, Registrar.
Georgia Tech.
We can not accept a student from
your school upon certification, and
the only way that he might be ad
mitted is upon entrance examina
tions.
Kathleen Alsop, Registrar.
William and Mary College.
I regret that we could not accept
graduates of your school on certifi
cate unless the school is listed on
the accredited lists of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Second
ary Schools. Applicant for admis
sion would have to take and success
fully pass the College Entrance
Board Examination.
Alma H. Preinkert, Registrar.
University of Maryland.
Telegram received by a G. H. S.
senior recently:
You will be required to take en
trance examinations at Randolph-
Macon.
Louise Simmons, Registrar.
College Registrar Speaks
I wish to state that our out-of-
state students on the average rank
better than our Xorth Carolina stu
dents. . . . Students at the present
time are rather poorly prepared for
college, and . . . the addition of one-
ninth would help a great deal.

State College.

Prof. Albert Coates Talks
On Popular Government
Mr. Albert Coates, professor of
criminal law at University of Xorth
Carolina and editor of Popular Gov
ernment spoke to the Wayne County
Classroom Teachers and about 200
student visitors Monday evening on
‘^Popular Government.”
Mr. Coates is leading a movement
in Xorth Carolina to bridge the gap
between government as it is taught
in the classroom and government as
it is practiced in the city, county,
state, and Federal units.
“Every year about 18,000 stu
dents leave schools in Xorth Caro
lina with very little knowledge of
government,” he said. “The fault
of this does not lie with the teach'
ers but within the source of knowl
edge,” added Mr. Coates.
Mr. Coates found that the books
which he was using in teaching
criminal law at U. X. C. dealt en
tirely with Supreme Court cases and
upon investigation discovered tljat
only four-tenths per cent of Xorth
Carolina cases ever get to the Su
preme Court and these figures be
came symbolic to him of the effi
ciency of modern law courses.
“The key to this situation does
not rest with colleges but high
schools,” he stated. “Educational
opportunities must be universal so
that public officials will be educated
sufficiently to give good service.”
Mr. Coates affirmed that there is
a way to bridge the gap, and that
is to do away with what he called
the governmental pyramid, which
has as its base the Federal Govern
ment, on top of which is a state
government, then county units, and
on the very top the city or town
government. “There is no coopera
tion between the parts of this pyra
mid,” asserted Mr. Coates. “Tv/enty-
five per cent of the governmental
problems are found in books and the
other seventy-five per cent in the
heads of the officials in 100 counties

That’s all you can hear.
Save our school so very dear,
Give to us a nine months year.
Children today are citizens to
morrow.
Let education take a stand.
Educate our prosperous land.
Citizens! Save our school!
Some may say, “They have
enough!”
Others may say, “They have too
much! ”
But we, the students, say, “No
such!”
Please give us a nine months
school.
Some may say, “That’s being a
fool.”
Blit still we take our stand.
Please above all save our school,
And, Citizens, you’ll save our

Popular government can be un
derstood more thoroughly in four
ways: (1) the faculties of schools
can help to distribute information
found by the Institute; (2) a gov
ernment laboratory can be estab
lished; (3) government can be
taught in the schools; (4) and
changes in government can be re
corded and circulated through the
publication of a Journal.

STUDENTS VOTE LIKE
PARENTS IN PRIMARY
The Sociology Class gave the
G. H. S. students a lesson in civic
government April 10, when it con
ducted a ‘^primary” in the school
to nominate candidates for mayor
and aldermen of the city of Golds
boro.
The election was to acquaint the
students with city voting and, with
one exception, corresponded to the
adult primary'- held downtown on
the same day.
The man chosen for mayor down
town was elected i-n the High School.
The candidate getting highest
number of votes for aldermen in
G. H. S. also corresponded with the
man with the greatest majority
downtown.
The only irregularity was in the
list of aldermen elected. In one in
stance a candidate was favored out
here who did not get a majority in
the adult primary.
Out of seven hundred seven stu
dents enrolled, six hundred twenty-
six ballots were counted. The vot
ing was not compulsory.
