A. J. MAXWELL IS
GUEST SPEAKER
Elkin Kiwanians Go to North
Wilkesboro for Joint
Meeting of Clubs
SCHOOLS ARE DISCUSSED
Sixteen members of the Elkin
Kiwanis club met at North
Wilkesboro last Thursday evening
in joint meeting with the North
Wilkesboro and Lenoir clubs.
State Revenue Commissioner A.
J. Maxwell was the principal
speaker, his address being devot
ed mainly to discussion of the
state school and highway system,
stating that one weakness of the
school system is in not teaching
North Carolina history, except in
the sixth grade, where he said an
old text book written 30 years ago
is used.
Mr. Maxwell said that not un
til the highways were constructed
did the masses get out of isola
tion. and he cited the big growth
of the state during the past 20
years. He also attributed to the
construction of the highways the
vast increase of state revenue.
At the meeting, in addition to
the Elkin Kiwanians were 33
from Lenoir and 49 of the North
Wilkesboro club. Words of wel
come were spoken by A. H. Casey,
lieutenant governor of division
three, and response was by E. C.
James, of the Elkin club. Rev.
Watt Cooper, of the North
Wilkesboro club, was in charge of
the program.
