CORRECTION (Continued from Page 1) hour there and that the recent move in putting up additional 20- limit signs and enforcing this law came after merchants on the street had complained about the public’s speeding. State law, the manager pointed out, calls for a 20 speed in any business district and the recent recommendation of the State Highway Traffic Engineering Department (that the speed limit on this street be raised to 35 miles per hour) was made on mrg- ing by town officials who, said Mr. Rainey, realize that the 20- limit is tmreasonable on this long, wide, straight stretch of street, although its entire length has for some time been rated as business district. The council as noted in a news item in last week’s Pilot, has ap proved the State recommenda tion that the limit wiE be chang ed to 35 as soon as the State has processed the request and the 'proper ordinance is written and approved. In view of these facts. The Pilot regrets that it unfairly inferred that town officials had arbitrarily or capriciously lowered the speed limit from 35 to 20 and are now being forced by the State to raise it back to 35 again. Rather, it ap pears that town officials are re sponsible for the welcome chang ing of the limit to 35. EDUCATORS (Continued from Page 1) EducqticinTor its approach in try ing to provide a curriculum for all the children.” Dr. James was assisted by Thomas C. Shore, supervisor of the Division of Vocational Edu cation; John Moore, . Guidance Services; Charles D. Bates, 'Trade and Industrial Education; Miss Joan Smith, Distributive Educa tion; Miss Marjory Cooper, Home Economics; Earl Price, Agricul ture; and Carroll Smith, Indus trial Arts; in outlining the voca tional program for the future in the consolidated schools. Stu dents would enter these areas only after extensive coimseling, it was stressed.' The program would include: Grade 9 — Introduction to vo cations. Grade 10 — Exploratory course which encompasses many skills and would involve many teach ers working together as a team. Grades 11 and 12 —Skills and specialization. 'These courses would prepare students for im mediate skilled employment or for advanced training in a com munity college. The group was told that the Moore County schools have had excellent programs in vocational home economics and agriculture but many changes must be made in the approach to these areas. Mr. Price, speaking for agricul ture, stated that the agriculture curriculum of the future starts with Introductioii to Occupations in grade 9; Agriculture sciences and general shop work in grade 10; and speciaUzing in one speci fic area in grades 11 and 12, such as Agriculture Business, Crop and Livestock Production, Poul try and Ornamental Horticulture and others; depending on the needs of the county and communi ty- Other areas of vocational train ing available for the young peo ple of the county were outlined: Distributive Education is train ing in the field of distribution - retailing, wholesaling, and ser vices. This course is presently of fered at the Aberdeen and West End schools. Trade and Industrial Education is a balanced program of studies and work experiences that have the common objective of produ cing competent workers. This program includes: Trade Preparatory Training is given to students enrolled in high school who have selected a trade or industrial occupation as a Ufe’s vocation. The training is com plete and includes instruction m the skilled aspects of a certain occupation. Training is available in 84 areas such as bricklaying, machine shop, carpentry and sheet metal, based on the needs of the area. . Industrial Cooperative Tram- ing (ICT) is a cooperative enter prise between business and indus try in the communities and high schools. Industry furnishes part- time employment and on-the-job training for the students, and the school teaches the technical subject material related to the job being learned. 'The student is aEowed to receive on-the-job training during high school hours for which he receives imits of credit. In addition the student is paid for on-the-job experience. The student “earns while he learns.” 'Training is provided in over 100 occupations such as me chanic, electrician, meat cutter, and floral designer. Industrial Arts provides youth with the opportunity to study about and to use tools, materials, and processes of industrial-tech nical fields. Some areas of indus trial arts are metal working, cab inet making and drafting. Jere McKeithen of Aberdeen, chairman of the Board of Educa tion, asked for questions from the group at the end of the meeting. He said that the school system would work with Harry Beard who has been appointed to coor dinate the State Department’s as sistance to Moore County. A vo cational program of balance and comprehensivness would be pro vided in the three consoEdated schools, Mr. McKeithen said. Committee For New Union Pines School Sworn In.

SCHOOL PLANNING (Continued from Page 1) the Southern Pines Board of Education whose members decid ed Monday night to' send the letter, said that the questions were asked “to give us an idea of the public’s thinking.” He said that the board decided that it could budget $2,006, for such a survey and that the board does not want to spend sums of that amount without some idtea of how school patrons feel about the expense. The wording of the question naire had said; “The School Board is willing to spend up to $2,000 for the purpose of making this survey, provided the major ity of parents favor the survey >» Asked if the unfavorable vote reported today meant that all consideration of a survey would be abandoned—as the wording of the query might indicate—^Dr. McLean said that such' an infer ence should not be df-awn from the voting. “Of course, this does not mean we will eliminate any considera tion of a survey,” he said. “We only wanted some idea of how the public is thinking.” Background Noted Background of the question naire is this: On Monday night some dozen members of the recently formed Citizens Committee for Long- Range School Planning and other interested persons met with the Board of Education in the elemen tary school library, with Dr. Charles Phillips, leader in form ing the Committee, presiding jfor that group in d'iseiuSsing’various aspects of high school organization and curriculum. : Dr. Raymond Stone of the State Department of Curriculum Studies and Research was also present at the meeting, at request of the Citizens Com- mittqe. At close of the discussion ses sion, the Citizens Committee presented to the Board of EdUr cation a. formal request that the Board authorize surveys by State agencies and by an independent private agency,- “to determine whether Eari Southern .Pines High School can best serve the community by remaining an in dependent school or by consoli dating with Other high schools of the area.” It was this request that prompt ed the Board' of Education to take its sampling of public opinion in the questionnaires taken home by children of both the high school and the elementary school the next day. The Citizens Committee, in a polled vote of members on Tues day also approved a statement to the Board of Education opposing any commitments of school outlay (construction) funds before a sur vey such as the committee re commends is made. Medicine, especially aspirin, heads-the list of items chEdren seem to Eke to sample, account ing' for nearly half of all acci dental poisonings.
