THE GRADED SCHOOL IS NOT ACCREDITED To 'the Editor of The News-Herald: I am sorry that Mr. Kerley thought that I was criticising him as super intendent of the above school, 'for I stated plainly in my first article that I was not. As a citizen and patron of the Morganton school I am mora than glad to credit it for all is mer its. I did not mean to infer that the graduates of the high school had to stand three or four days written ex amination before they were permit ted to enter college, but I did mean to say that virtually all of. the gradu ates are conditioned on certain sub jects or have to make up work that should be done in the Morganton school. Its a little surprising that Mr. Ker ley has been superintendent of the graded school for four years, and overlooked the fact that it is not an accredited school. The University of North. Carolina has nothing to do with making a school accredited or non accredited. It is true that Mr. N. W. Walker, the high school inspec tor for the State, is located at the University, and prescribes or outlines a course of study (to which Mr. Ker ley refers as accredited for all the high schools of the State in case they follow and complete this work) in which Mr. Walker measures all high schools with the same yard stick. Evidently Mr. Kerley is not familiar with the farts in t.ht rasp. T o-ot -mv information from the report of the Southern Educational commission, which passes on all secondary and college accredited schools in the thir teen Southern States. This commis sion has either left the Morganton school out by accident or on purpose. I shall ask Mr. Kerley to make a lit tle investigation and see if these are not the facts in the case. With about two years hard work and reorganization, the Morganton school could be made accredited. Why hot do this and give our boys and girls the best? I have the rules and regulations with which the school would have to comply, and they are easy. Would be glad to furnish such if the trustees are interested. As to Mr. Erwin's reply, he says, "My statement that he should know and practically every educated man in the county does know, that he is not wen quanned to hold this po I. It is out of the reach of any cbU lege to educate any man, but they can help. The educated min is so because of his own efforts and not from the fact that he is a college man. This whole controversy has been brought about for the reason that the schools of the county have been more progressive than Mr. Erwin wanted them to. be, unless Mr. JErwin had been consulted 'more as, to, how it should have been done, and . net be cause of the pinnate desire, he had to help the poor children of Burke coun ty. I have to more time to give to this controversy. Very truly, . : t. l. sigmon. . THE BLIND TIGER ENEMY To the Editor of The News-Herald Will you allow me space in your valuable paper to express my grati tude that we still Vijivp lnval nnrl honorable 'judges that not only know their duty but follow it. 'The good people of the grand old county of iJurke . should be thankful that . the Lord has put it into the hearts and minds of the people to produce evi dence against outlaws and criminals that the court and officers were en abled to brinrr that class to instine and proper punishment. Before I ?o iurrner l . wisn to explain myself. 1 do not rejoice at the downfall and mmishment of men or women, hut T do rejoice at the efforts to overthrow tne making and selling ot stuff that will destroy both body and soul and which will not stop at that but will drag down other souls into shame and disgrace. I have come to the conclusion long ago that the man or woman who drinks the foul stuff is a murder of that dwells in the body that came from God, called the soul. Those who deal in it aid in murdering both body and soul. There is one other class that would like -for the good people to look upon as a high type of citizenship that would en courage the class named for the love of a few dollars by helping them to escape the nenaltv of the law. God pity the lawyer that for $5 or $10 would neip them tQ evade the law and allow them to turn ae-ain to a work that degrades their county. The only remedy against it all is strong public sentiment.

Now, if Mr. Erwin could get a little real information of a trutntul nature I believe it would have a better effect. The petition to I have no apology for what I have said; where the shoe fits let it be worn. A strong effort should be made to trap every blind tiger in town.

Mr. Erwin says that "I created this valuable asset (the Morganton grad ed school) to our county while in the legislature of 1903, against the pro test of many of my, friends, and I king-bee blind tiger is left free to beein aerain with a new force. Clean up the town and it will be no trouble to keep the surrounding country clean.

I shall state that it does not have anything to do with it one way or the other. 7But the Morgan ton graded school is not a private in stitution, m that ii is paid for by the people in the district and by the county. It is a public school and stands open to criticism just as much as other schools, of the county. As a mathematical problem, I shall ask if two v college - men have failed to make the Morganton school' pro gressive, how r many college men would it take to, make a whole county progressive ? I have two brothers who claim , to be college men, and I reckon are, and no one has more respect for an edu cated college ;man than I, and no one more contempt for a college fool than Let us work together to reAwm the good name of the good old county of Burke.
