"As the old cock rrows, the young
cock learns."
Bragaw, your position on making
the school term longer is undoubtedly
Indorse^ by qoite a number of
peoplel When Jakeville threw out
those little suggestions he anticipated
just such responses from roanjf
quarters, though not from you. He
expected yob to jump up and say,
"Don't stop at one month, let's have
two."
You base your opinion on those
little x's found so numerously in the
school record. We must admit these
little x> are significant, very significant.
Tbsy tell "bad tales" on patrons
and teachers. They emphasize
the necessity of longer terms.
In a district near us, a few years
ago there was a shabby little school
house, unconfutable, unpointed.
Now they have a roomy, comfortable,
and attractive building. They have
by private subscription raised their
teacher's salary from $35 to $45. and
are now agitating an extra month
They have captured the teacher that
an adjoining district ban been de
pending on the past two or three
years. This latter district believes
in 4 month terms, $35 teachers, and
lots of little x's.
* That progressive district didn't
. wait (or the little x's to disappear
from Its record before it started to
move forward. Had it waited for this
it would be doing business at the
same old stand.
One thing calls for another.
Lengthen the term, this will be a progressive
movement, and other thing*
will begin to move with it.
' Ask Small If It waited for the 1Htl*
x's to get out of its way before
it made an effort to move on.
If we allow tUe x'a to govern us
*e shall go backward instead of forward.
Folowlng up your idea, Bragaw.
some folks might come to the
"logical conclusion" that to eliminate
or reduce the little x's we must
off i? irwtb tfftd tntre-w M fciuuO
schooL
In Algebra, x's represent unknown
Quantities. So do they in school records.
Unknown is It how much obscure
talent, how much ungratltied
ambition, how many brlUlai.r Tangibilities
they represent. Longer
terms tre known quantities. Give
us these and they will determine
those other quantities.
Teachers do not teach entirely for
fun. Our beet teachers do not teach
entirely for money, hut schools that
have lung terms and pay good salaries
have the best teachers.
Shall Beaufort County, shall the
State of North Carolina withhold
opportunity from those who want toj
go forward because some folks love,
to decorate tbe school record with,
litfilg x's?
