Dr. Carroll praised the people of Zebulon and community for their cooperative effort to improve the school's standards and attempt to get it accredited by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. He said public schools could be only what the public wanted and was willing to provide. He touched upon another sub ject of great importance to teach ers — salaries. Here, he said, no one knows what salary schedule is appropriate. But he is in full agree ment with the majority of the na tion’s top-level educators that the shortage of teachers can be cor rected with the raisine of the teachers’ salaries. Dr. Carroll said that good schools just don’t happen and are not the result of chance. They come through design and will to have good schools; they come through sacrifice, labor and vision. He said that it is so easy for the general public to take the schools for granted. But not so in this ; community. This community has had the will to have good schools, and nothing indicates that this in terest in good schools will de crease. He said that good school plant facilities are important and com plimented Wakelon upon its plant facilities.
