All were agreed on improve ments. But as to the best plans for reaching the desired end there was a difference of opinion All have been zealous in the cause but as there was an almost equal difference of opinion about best plans fcfic procedure it miade it difficult to get a plan that would meet all conditions satis factorily and get the c^-jpera- tion of the community. : The County Supt. of Schools together with the County Board of Education and the State Supt. of Public ioifiLruction, Dr. J. Y. Joyner, w^jitto Sylvan last Thurs day and looked over the situa tion. i That 6vieniMg they met in con ference with the Corns, of the different departments and in terest of tiie school, and after a ffee and very fair tionsideration of all the questions, devised a large arid liberal plan to which j there ' was unanimous agree- ! ment. The plan is to take in with the Sylvan school the terri tory between the Sylvan school and Chatham county line and ^- so Lee Point, a small district ad joining'Sylvan- Then build a central' High School building near the Center or a prominent eleJvation, known as Flint Hill, and one or more Elementary buildings^at other sites in the district in order to pvit the ele- mehtry grades in ea^y reach of all the small children. Tbh plan will pot only elimi nate :h^,serious question of dis tances for the little children, and give a much larger local tax for sphool purposes, and also a larger and s^bhger system, and much li^it^r houses and general equip ment, but irmeets the conditions in a deed of trust that was made by Mr. Isaac Hammer of Kanws, and thus, secures a handsome do> nation vdlued at about $80000.00 for the benefit of the school. The people of Sylvan are to be congratulation on giving up a di* vision of opinion, though a very holiest one, and coming together and constructing and accepting ihis large plan for better things along tne very important cause of education for all the children. This has long been a ^eat community and an educational center. Old Sylvan Academy, the house of which is still stand ing in a most magnificent grove from which it took its name, has been a beacon light that has shed its rays in benediction upon hun dreds of this community and riiany others. Through this school the older heads of this community have done a great and lasting wofk in developing stirong men and women, y- K The older and younger proinpt-r ed by that same spirit -of the older, many of whom are gone, to; libei^ie their children froih t^e ;bdAdsig6 of iterance, tha;t M jnaterial form ^«stablisjh4 Acadi§my, ■ are now greater things^, already • } —II Ill - — ■ -- Green & McClure Furoiture Co., \ ' of Graham, N.
