TUESDAY, FEB. 13TH, 1917
SHALL WARRENTON LEAD?
This town has been noted for
generations as an educational
center for both male and female
education. It has sustained that
reputation to the present time ;
but the education given has been
from private funds, and conse
quently only those could send
their children to our schools here
who were able to pay the price.
That the education given has
been worth the price is admitted.
But the time has come in North
Carolina when education in' our
public schools has progressed to
that extent which enables the
children of all of our citizens to
obtain an education where facili
ties are in reach. This town has
been backward in giving the en
couragement to public education
that it should have given because
of the excellence of the private
schools here, and even at this
date, the public school Will not
entirely eliminate the private
schools ; but for the masses, the
public school has taken, and must
hold precedence
$58.28 will retire a debt of $i000
in 40 years at five per cent
therefore an annual payment of
twenty-five times $58.28 will re
tire $25,000 in bonds in forty
years. Thus an annual payment
of $1457.00 will pay our debt and
interest.
How Can We Do It?
Ten cents on $100.00 worth of
property in Warrenton Special
Tnv District raises $1311.24. An
increase of only fifteen cents in
the Special Tax of this district
will take care of $25,000 bond is
sue,and have a surplus left which
can go into the fund for educa
tion. Or to change the proposi
tion: Make the Special levy (in
cludincr the present levy) 35
mi . - -i
cents on $iuu. inis win raise
$4,589.34. Deduct from this, the
amount duetto pay; interest ron
the $25,000 atM ioi- sinking
fund-$.X457, and it leaveS'a'bafc
ance for School purposes--bf $3;
132.34. We now: have for special; j
school purposes $2,622.48." So
that thirty-five cents will provide
our building, pay all the teachers
we now have, leave a balance ol
$909.86, and the amount from
the State for High School, and
from County for High School to
be added. Think of it ! Norlina
is paying sixty cents for school
and building; Macon is paying
fifty-five cents for school and
building. Littleton is paving
thirty cents for a $15,000 build-

Warrenton neks a Stated e3
Hisrh School, and the time is'ripe
for our citizens to g-et such a
school. Such a school is not en
tirely a local" affair; but belongs
to all the children of the county
who attend its High School De
partment. This means that any
boy or girl who has completed
the seventh grade can attend the
four year course in the public
high school here. This will mean
an influx of country boys and
girls to Warrenton to obtain pre
paration, for College or for life,
in this school. Combined with
our present school there should
be ah enrollment of at least 200
pupils in the public school. The
question is shall Warrenton lead
or follow in the preparation for a
public High School in this com
..munity. Shall we be content with
present facilities, or shall we
have an equipment worthy of the
traditions of the town, and wor
thy of the present citizenship.
Such equipment is within our
v reach without much additional
eost. A building to cost not less
than $25,000 is needed. Such a
building will be an-ornament to
the town, and the pride of our
citizenship. Such a building
would give us a splendid auditor
ium; equipped with steam heatr
electric lantern slide, and mov
ing picture fixtures to be used for
educational purposes, arid would
afford this town more real'; cen
time enjoy ment,and be the means
of disseminating more informa-
tion than any one invest ment of
the community. This, building
would oei the community center.
and we could get on a circuit of
some of the first class Lyceum
courses, and get rich returns
from our investment m pleasure
and knowledge. Soloman wise
ly said : "In all thy getting, . get
understanding." He asked for
himself wisdom. Every penny
invested in a building of this
character, and placed in charge
of a competent faculty means an
investment in childhood ; an in
vestment in the hearts and minds
4 of our children, and is, therefore,
an investment in knowledge and
wisdom. :-" - .'

A BEAUTIFUL PRATER
The Senate met at 11 o'clock a. m.
Bishop Collins Denny, of Richmond,
Va., offered the following prayer:
O thou great and glorious and mer
ciful God, we come to acknowledge our
dependence upon Thee for all things.
Vhile we can not remember all Thy
benefits, be so favorable to us, .0 God,
that we may not forget them all. We
praise Thee for Thy guidance of our I
fathers; and now, Lord, we, who are
Thy children as well as their children, '
come to pray Thee that Thy guidance
may not depart from us. Especially '
at this time, O gracious God. give
wisdom to those upon whom in Thy .
providence the guidance of the affairs
of this country has fallen.
Upon this Senate, upon the Presi
dent and all who are ih authority
grant us, most merciful God, ,tht

loved ones, war and all its conse
quences; and while we know, for Thou
hast taught us, that whatsoever a
man soweth that shall he also reap,
and while our sins have been many, !
manifold, and heinous, gracious God,:
visit not on. us. the legitimate conse
quences of our own transgressions,but
show Thyself merciful to us,and grant
us the safe and the honorable way
through all the troubles to whichj; we
seem to be exposed; and especially
grant to Thy servants here that daily
blessing which they need to do Thy
will. We ask for Jesus's sake Amen.
