Person County'are inefficient because they are too, small to provide for ttrc variety of educational work which .should .be provided for all pupils, and because it costa much more to conduct small schools than Jtp conduct the same work in. larger schools. V HIGH SCHKXHlS, Ptiyson County should in five jears h^ve no schools of fewer than siJC.booms and an au' ditotium. It shoubHbe possible ' for any child in the cduhty to attend, a standard high schoio at public expense. .Courses in cooking, sewing, nursing, hfne-malrfng, textiles, agriculture, business, practical mechanics, carpen-? try, and the like, should be availably to any child of h0fh.,se)b>ol ag?. Such . - a program of work Jts- financially prn. hibitive, except in ' n large school. The only way a large school can be established in Person County is by ' cooperation and' by -pooling of resources. ' school offering various types of vocational training is -at the center of the county, Roxboro. The high'schools at Bethel Hill and at Helena have 1 gained the approval qf the State Department of Education as college preparatory schools and should be. continued on their present levels. It would be financially and educationally impossible, however, to encourage ; the othM, filch schools in" the county - to look forward to-.beioifiiHg- standard' four-year high schools- "in-.tfie near future."They should continue to off,ef the first two years of college preparatory work, but their third and fourth year pupils shoald be transported to one, of. tin? County's three - standard high schools, where the . advanced work can be offered at a reasonable cost, z A new eight-rpom school thust ie provided for the pupil's in Mt. Tirzah Township, a similar building must be constructed irt the Hurdle Mills neighborhood, a building of even larger size may be required for the elementary school children around Roxboro, and perhaps a six-room" flaildinv should be constructed for the pupils of North Carolina and Virginia on the north side of tlje Hyeo River. In Re- addition to these buildings, a county high school building of approximately ' sixteen rooms is necessary at once, . while additions and repairs should soon be made at some of the present high school .buildings. ORGANIZATION. Ultimately all the educational work in the county should be placed under, the' direction ? uf one tliurouglily?trained Supeiin- temlent of Schools and one Board of Education. For the present it may be advisable ior the city schools to retain their independence but to cooperate with the county in maintaining schools for county and city children in buildings to be constructed by the county board of education. As soon] B ?>1-1- i? I. i us pussjuie me eiiiiir^ uuruen yi euucation in the county should be plac;<M on one board and one supervisory organization. ? I shall be pleased, to receive by mail all the suggestions anyone can give as to economical ^methods of coopera ... tion^n this enterprise. We must study all rides of the question impartially ind fully before action is taken. Let's . " ail get together on. this problem .and ' "vork it out so that the children Wili all have a "square deal." Yours sncerely, M. H.
