Sometime ago the County Board of Education approv ed the plan and made provisions in its budget for such a school. Fri day afternoon the Murphy School Board gave its approval formally es the proposition to use one of the rooms in the high school building lor class purposes and to use the grammar school as a demonstration school. County Superintendent A. L. Martin has recently received word from Mrs. T. E. Johnson. State Su pervisor of Teacher Training in High Schools, that a teacher will be employed and plans madi- to open the school early in September when the Murphy public schools open. [Thus the school is assured. I Some ten or eleven high school graduates have already signed ap plication blanks for entrance upon the school and there are several others who intend to sign up a little later, it is thought. Only ten pupils are required to open the school. The county board of education will fur nish the equipment for the school while the state department of educa tion will pay the teacher's salary. There will be no cost to the local school except the supplying of heat ,and the room. Thus the school is i county wide and prospective teach ers from other counties may enter also so long as there is room in the [school. Graduates of standard high! schools and teachers who now hold j the elementary B. certificate ainli want to raise them, may e:iter the, school. There is no cost to the pu- j pil for attending (he school except for books. Most of the hooks, how ever, and the material enp!o\ed in! making charts, etc.. will he furnish ed free. I hose who successful 1\ complete the course will he awarded' an elemental v A state teachers cer-i tificate valid for five years. I nderj the state salary schedule tlioe cer tificates will draw from $75 to >>95 per month, depending upon the ex perience of the holders thereof. Also, those who attend this train ing school will he given credit for two-thirds of a years work in the normal schools of the state, such as the Normal School at Cullowhee. Boone, East Carolina Teachers Col lege, etc. The sellout will be well equipped, the supplies will he ade quate, the library and magazine shelves well filled and the teacher one of the best that can be had. while the grammar school of the Murphy Schools will be a trailing school for the classes. Thus this school will be in a position to do a fine piece of work in equipping the young people of the county for teaching positions. Only twenty pu pils can be accepted for the school in any one year and those who are contemplating taking the course are being asked to see the County Su perintendent, A. L. Martin at an early date and sign the application blank. This is the more necessary so that the proper amount of equip ment may be bought for each stu dent who will be in the school. Those who know about the school are elated over the prospects of re ceiving this training while they are at home and at no expense to them selves or parents. There are about twenty such county- wide schools in SACRED CONCERT BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY NIGHT The annual sacred concert of the Baptist choir will be held at the < hurch next Sunday night at the reg ular church hour, 7:30. the other churches of -the town, as has been their custom, dispensing with their services for that evening in order to join in with the Baptists in this song service.
