TIME TO ENLARGE ' AHOSKIE SCHOOL PLANT Around 500 boys and girl* grad uated from Ike high schools of North Carolina Inst year. Ac cording to a census taken by our State University 3,760 desired to enter college. We' don't bow many hare done so, but it is safe ? to say that at loast 2,500 hare. That is 50 gar cent of the number of graduates. This one fact is sufficient to prove to the public that education is a safe investment and that our high schools are to day the richest resources of our state, notwithstanding the fact that we lead all other states in the variety of wealth producing assets. This year the news of crowded fchool buildings everywhere comes through the press and Ahoslrie is among the number. The time has come for us to enlargo our school. At present we have enrolled 322 with 33 pupils outside of the district, and more have asked ad mission. Let us begin at once to plan to enlarge our district and then enlarge our school accommo dations, and erect a building cost ing $45,000. Wo need such a building here, and it must come, unless wo shut the door in tha face of some son or daughter who knocks at our school claiming only a right to partsiko of that heritage which is lawfully theirs?educa tion. Some will say there is too much opposition to such a step in Ahoslrie. Let us not for once bo contented to ease our conscience and swell our purses at the ex pense of blighting the life of some boy or girl through denying them ' the privilege of an education. In the Tarboro bond election only three votes wore cast against the issue while 120 were cast for it. This is only an instance cited, I could name others-. Other towns are finding themselves a little im proved from the groat financial de pression, and are taking steps at once to invest in their greatest asset?boys and girls. Shall Ahoslrie do less? K.
