The Coun ty Board of Education in session this morning for the purpose of naming the public High Schools to be estab lished In Guilford under the recent act or the Legislature, found it had run up against a serious problem. The recent ruling or the State Board that at present only three ttrst class High Schools could be established in a coun- d navirjtf two -representatives, cut Guilford down from Its expected four schools. The Board hoped that there were four county schools able and ready t comply withjall the require ment, and had proposed to grant each one without rivalry Or contest. But this morning, instead of four, and only three could be allowed, there appear ed delegations of citizens- and school. official from Pomona. Jamestown, Guilford College. v Pleasant Garden. Bessemer and Gibeonville, asking for High Schools. In. each' instance it was sh wn that the law could be com plied with, and that the communities surrounding the present rural graded schools -would be special tax and pri vate contribution support and maintain a rural High School. j, So the Board will have to take some time to con sider th various' claims, but in EA sider the ' various Claims. ,and In solving satisfactorily the -problem of makin - uix two yards garmenta out of six yards- 4t-tUHiAJt--&il frreUJFaatv that GuTlford has six towrtships now with thoroughly equipped -rural, graded schools, and ready and anxloas to step up on ihe High -School platform speaks volumes for the educational develop ment of the countv.
