(Continued from pt|e one)
picture at the educational climate
of the state today an u follow*:
Tint, wide-spread conviction that
we muct adapt our whole educational
system to the realistic aaed
for present-day use, as evidenced
by increased appropriations for to
cstional education and the establishment
of two-year programs of
technical training;
Second, the establishment of
three two-year community colleges,
the advantages of which would be
low costs to students because no
bousing facilities will be provided,
students will commute from their
homes, variety of courses can be
offered within fins wis! scope of
many students, and they can determine
whether they want or can
take further education;
Third, more emphasis must be
placed on the quality of education
at all levels. Colleges and universities
must refuse admission to
those not qualified for nor seriously
concerned with securing an education;
Fourth, in the training of teachers
at the colleges and universities,
Major McLendon said that
teaching still has a great appeal
to the young man and young woman,
and the establishment of the
state loan fund which can be repaid
through teaching in the public
schools has proved that there are
many young people to whom $350
a year is the difefrence between
getting or not getting an education;
and.
Fifth, North Carolina faces the
problem thst the business of public
education is now so Urge thst
it is necessary to think and plan
in terms of the over-all system
of public education.
He stated that the State Board
of Higher Education is engsged in
the most difficult task that it has
faced, namely, formulating over a
long period of time—1970 at least
—plsns for development of the
whole system of higher education,
with flexibility, permitting the use
of every facility, expansion of each
institution, enabling it to present
the maximum opportunity to the
largest number.
Major McLendon stated that he
foresees the possibility thst between
now and 1070 North Carolina
will be confronted with the
necessity of operating many of the
public schools, as well as many
of the institutions of higher education,
on a year-round basis. The
people of North Carolina believe
in education more than at any time
in the history of the state," he
•aid, M evidenced by the <ww<i
upon Dm last (<nnl assembly
which were overwhelming that It
must do wwnrthlng to increase the
salaries of oar teechers hi the public
school* and collages.
: Ue concluded with the statement
that "the educational climate of
North Carolina today I* excellent,"
and challenged the graduating
classes and all his listeners to "feel
a keen sense of responsibility, because
the people at North Carolina
have entrusted us with their most
precious heritage, in the education
of their children."

To partially compensate for sky-rocketing production costs,
the yearly subscription rates to the Watauga Democrat will
be increased September 7 to $2.50 per year in Watauga
county and $3.00 per year outside of Watauga county.
This small increase of 50 cents per year is the first made
since the record inflation following the war. Most publications
have doubled their rates since then. However, we are
determined to keep our charges as low as is possible under
I
existing conditions.
We solicit the continued cooperation and goodwill of our
family of readers, which has grown to record-breaking size.
