On another page we are printlhi
a j letter from. Dr. Trabue, Professo
of . Educational Administation. Dr
Trabue has bees working over thi
matter .of County-wide r-eprganiza
t ion. for the past several weeks in thj
County. and makes'some suggestion:
. which we hope, every father wil
^ think seriously about. Your dhild i:
just as smart" and .just as much en
titled to the BEST"-ns any. ethei
child, and if we allow the ehUd oi
today to enter life ill prepared \v<
can not hope to keep up our present
high stabdard of citizenship! It is
_ - more nicessary today "that our children
be prepared than it was in'iuy
or yoor day, because ?omjV-ti.
, tioo in life's affairs is becopilng more
ieen each year, and while we may
have been fairly successful with n
limited education, the chances are
very much against our children being
so successful unless we fit them
- to compete with the child who fifth
' bad these advantages.
Dr. Tfabue says, "''Person County
-abould in five years have no schools
of'fewer cthan six rooms and.an auM"""
ditorium. It should 6e possible for
every child- in the County tp attend
a standard high school at public ex,
pense.-' We will agree with him, but
. to accomplish this it will be necessary
to raise the money to pay for such
a - program. ' H
Some of the things which he mentions
arc an eight room school for
1ft. Tirzah township, a similar build
in* lor the Hurdle Mill* section, and
a six room building for Cuninghani
township, and a sixteen room build,
in* "Tor a County high, school. . Of
course, he says, Roxboro is the logi :?al
place for this building. The time
t waa when there was more Jr less
ptajUdicAigalnst anything which was
wanted or needed in Roxboro by
"imie of the people from the country
but we are glad to say, that <jay has
t passed, for every one today realizes
j _ that. what t.rnpfitV Koxboro benefits
^ the entire County,, arid that Roxboro
I. is always willing to come in for her
I share of" any "expense necessary for
f, the upbuilding of the County;.

S have made it possible for the outside
world fo see us?by building
Ik good roads, they have discovered thbt
HL the little County of Person is easily
one of the best counties in the Stato
\. and they are talking about the won

AI.LENSV1LLE NEWS.'
. Well, did "the readers cf The Courier
notice.a let,ter last week from
Justice. He seems, to think because
he, is doing his trading with .josh
that Richard has lost much business,
when the facts are that while Justice
is sittihg around Josh's pi nee of business
and trying to advertise it to
TnchardTTiurt, . Richard's "Business
has more than doubled, as.we can
easily show Justice. And so far, as
hia .Tiiaticp Ifopninff -nnot* wtf>i wAiirii'
Richard he should have known when
he failed tft produce but three children
in three years that Richard was
going to beat, him; if he did have to
report to twins,, * .
Justice , seeirr? "^fo tHnfk thaf qiv
Governor wanted right much of the
ftate's money last year. If this istrue
he certainly ought to have him
prosecuted, but he better know for
certain what he is talking about or
the 'Qovornor ".might indict him fo-slander
and employ Mr. Bailey to
.prosecute* and if he doers Justice-will
be sorry that hd ever m%dc ? dis-?
pj/iy of wisdom. v
Richard is fjlways. glad to hear
from either friend or enemy through
The Courier, for I do *not expect everybody
to agree"with me about any
cne.thing, but when. I came to Alleneville
sOTrtfc fifteen years ago and found
it one cf .the most backward and
poorest townships in the County I
resolved 'with the help of God and
The Courier to'make conditions betto,
and so doing I have made-enemies
as I knew I would, but have at?
same time called the attention of the
whole County "to the fact that we
: had just as good men and women in
