I am not endorsing or unfavoring it but it is food for thought. The party making the suggestion has seen it put in effect and successfully operated in an ad joining state in a rural county com parable to Duplin. He says, in his opinion, it will save the county mo- ney. The idea is: One Central High School for Duplin County be set up in Kenansville. The various school buildings in the county be used for grammar schools. A key bus be run from each town, or each school, in the county to transport those students to Kenansville. The lower grade setup would continue as is. Results: a high school that would afford a library, laboratory, higher type of teachers and equip ment, all round, that would bene fit every community in the county. Think it over folks.
