II MORELAND CHARLOTTE On last Friday j we had a very pleasant visit to the Maria Davis School of which • Mr. Howard Moreland is principal. This school is located in South i Charlotte and is one of the most I beauitul schools in the Queen ! City. Matter of fact it is one of j ! the most beautiful schools in the I ! state. | In talking with Mr. Moreland, we j learned that he and his faculty are I just about to complete five years i at this school. We then asked the i able principal to give us some figures on the growth of the en rollment for the past five years. With a big smile the principal said as he pulled out his file that this enrollment has grown from 326 students to 789 students. The only thing we could do after hear ing such a wonderful report was to say congratulations to Mr. Moreland. We Then approached Mr. More land about the teaching staff. He said that after the second year a wing was added to the school along wih six classrooms. He wont on to say that the teaching staff jumped i from 1! to 28. The P. T A has been very ac tive, he said. Mr. Moreland said that it has installed an inter communications system, purchased an electric water fountain and fur nished a teachers’ lounge. Aside from doing those things, Mr. More land added that each year the as j sociation buys flowers for the front i lawn and sponsors several inter esting and enjoyable activities. Mr. Moreland said that child rens' health has been above aver age under the watchful eye of Mrs. Julia Harshawc He also stated that the cafeteria has made profits under the man agement of Mrs. Emma Spann.

We | believe, he said, that the bitter feei i mg some youngsters hold against 1 a school has been absent from the ! minds of our pupils. Mr. Moreland said that, the re lationship with the various depart ments in the system and the public in ganerai has been indeed cor dial. He said that several hundred j visitors from all sections of the i country has signed their guest book. Moreland said that they have I had visitors from Mexico, Sweden, Fiance, and England. He all were highly impressed with the Marie Davis School. Tlysre will be another new wing i added to the school this summer, i Moreland said. This wing will ] have six classrooms, and will re lieve the crowded conditions Mr Moreland went on to say that ' the Board of Education has been ] very generous in providing for the | needs of our children, i We then asked Mr. Moreland, : how he felt about the overcrowd |cd situation at his school. Mr. i Moreland began by saying that he | realized that overcrowdedness is ] national in scope and an acute I problem in some cities. We be ! lieve, he said, that time and a de ! termir.ed educational program wil! eventually eliminate it. "We have not and we do not intend to waste time until the ideal situation has been achieved, but we are using, | to the best of our knowledge, what ! we have in equipping our children i with the necessary tools for ae i tive citizenship in the city, which, i because of its location, is destined i to set the future pattern of the South,” he said. Mr Moreland, who resides at 2214 Celia Ave, in the Biddleville ! section of the city, is married to the former Miss Gladys Ford, and they I have two children, Howard More ! land, Jr., who is employed by the U.
