The movie atraction scheduled
tor Thursday evening was post
poned until next week due to the
picture machine being out of com
mission. The P.-T. A. met last
Wednesday night at the school
building ;.nd held a very interest
ing meeting. The chief feature of
the occasion was the very able,
addresji of Prof. Teague of Moun
tain View' high school. Ho spoke
on the topic of Federal aid for
schools and gave some very Inter
esting information relative to
present ibill pending •> Congress
which is passed will give N. C.
ab|out 4 1-2 million dollars the
first year and will gradually be
increased each year thereafter.
■•Iny state sharing in the benefits
will be required to maintain their
schools up to the present standard
without decreasing school taxes.
Prof. Teague said that out of
2.t0,000 children .vho enter the
'first grade, only 50,000 go
through the 7th grade, only 20,-
000 graduate from high school,
and only 2.000 graduate from col
lege. He therefore stre.ssed the
great need of vocational training
in the schools and said Federal
lid would insure this without tak-
n.i: away any local control.
