R HIGH SCHOOL ENROLL JTE5T (By Miss Aleen Woodburn) This subject to be dealt with as it shoud requires more time and space than has been allotted me. However In a big way it necessitates the men tioning of factors that Include Nation, International, State Oortnty, Township and district. Our school system Bpeaklng In a general way. in North Carolina covers a wide territory of thought on the nart of its able leaders and workers. North Carolina has for along time remained far behind other states In the matter of education, now is dawn ing a new era ? an era whtch In time will place her among the foremost states as an expounder of education. For our school system which means hetter average dally attendance In the High School the State has established an Eouallzation Fund which pay a certain part of the teachers salaries for six months. It also helps In the buildings, establishing of agriculture teachers in each High School. At pro sent it has set on foot in every county which approve a county wide plan of dlvldine eich county into a certain number of districts. Our county Frank illn is divided Into seven. It has also an able man as inspector of High . Schools who encourage the teachers jand patrons to make hetter things their aim, the encouragement of and requiring a certain attendance In the | Summer Schools on the part of t!i? State Department of Education has helned place our teachers on the fore ! most ranks. As to the county thj eis-jnllal things fur the advanceir ut of fho coarse of education-large attendance in High Schools is a man of character, knew- ] ledge, training and eneigy at th-? head! of educational affairs In the county ? He with the cooperation of the County Board of Education, Welfare Officer, 'School^ Faculty, Committee, parents and pupils make it more essential anff] interesting for children to want to push forward for a higher education. Outside from the many organiza tions 4n each community. We must take In consideration that our popu lation Increasing to a certain extent and with the compulsory attendance law in force our schools have grown. ? ? LABtiEB SCHOOL ATTENDANCE (By Miss Bonnie Dare Fogleman) In undertaking a written description of the advance within the past ten or fifteen years which the attendance In the schools of Franklin or any county of North Carollan has made, Is now making and will make In years to come, there are three factors to be considered as follows: Federal or National State and County, while the first In a way. Is greatly responsible, yet It could not have ever been but for the response It received from the last two. In considering the National Edu cational System there will only be mentioned in a general way the more modern method In every line which the nation as a whole has assumed during the past decade. Our educa tors, with a more scientific side of everything keyed to the highest pro duction realized that In order (or us to cope with other nations we mast {depend upon our future generation to help ua keep our place In the ran. That this be done the children must receive training. For wt^h the coming of the automobiles. aeroplane*, wireless and good roads, our educa tional system needed adjusting. Hence they have encourage higher educa tion. better farming, better rural ad vantages and having met with responss from our state educators have canssd us to make rapid advance In matters , educational. * From our own beloved state, one. If not the greatest boost- stnee among the pioneers of better education stands out preeminent the late Governor Ay cock who gave his whole Influence to it at all times. Under the able ad ministration for former State Superln tendeat, J. Y. Joyner, the course of education was cherished, fostered and muMipMed. With the work and enlightenment along educational lines there spread abroad among our people the reali zation that In order for the cause of education to prosper, there must -b* some means provided to put these in force. As a result the state has given Ha aid In financial way paying about 1-6 of the teachers salaries, and pat ting up better buildings ? The Equali zing Fund. Thus better teachers have been the result. - Asiae from a financial standpoint (Continued on Page Seven.)
