Organization Is In Effect This Year With the close of the school last year, the old 7-4 plan of school organization ceased to exist in North Carolina. This year will witness the first graduating class under the 12-year program inau-t gurated in 1942-43. Under the present plan of organization a boy or girl who enters the first grade of public school will have the op portunity of a continuous school program of 108 months, unless due to causes beyond the control of the school authorities the school has to be closed. That some stu dents take longer than this speci fied time to complete the regular program is accounted for by rea son of illness or other causes which necessitate the repetition of a grade or grades. In the 12-year program grades 1-8 constitute the elementary school and grades 9-12 the high school. These two parts make the public school system of the State as now constituted.
