Efficient) of Our Schools In War Time.
On every hand we now bear gloomy
forebodings as to tbe prospects for
continuing our schools for next year
On what may be termed an efficient
basis. The children cannot attend
regularly; taxes are already Wgb, the
county-wide tax has failed^and the
teachers are demanding laager salar
ies and must have-them it^they are to
work efficiently or are toflwork at all:
these and many other things have ta
ken possession of the Common mind
that indicate a sad plight of common
education. Some have even taken the
ridiculous, foolish, and insane position
that the schools should be closed until
after the war and that the youth of our
country should grow up as weeds, with
out cultivation or culture.
But is aH this pessimism justifiable?
Is it not possible for all the schools of
Franklin county to be run on an effic
ient basis next year?a basis even
more efficient than at any previous
time? Is it possible for us with the
same money that we now have to re
*."? ???)!' T)HY
larger salaries than are no
Such a question may seem non-sense.
But these things can be done. Some
of the schools of Franklin have already
made arrangements to carry on Just
such a scheme during the next ses
sion.
Let us look at the efficiency of some
of our schools during the past year.
There are many schools In Franklin,
county that have teachers teaching the
"sTXTtr.??jfcaianth, piphth. ninth, and
tenth gradea^each teacftm liavteg from
twenty to twenty-five recitations per
day. each recitation lasting from ten
to fifteen minutes?Just long enough
to ask what the lesson was and to as
sign the next one. There was no time
for teaching, no time to even see that
the pupil had studied the lesson. Such
a condition led one of our most effic
ient teachers to remark only last Fri
day that she was thoroughly disgusted
with the work she had done In trying
to teach high school work In the three
teacher school in which she had taught
during the past session. Not only she,
but every other teacher In the county
who has had the same experience has
the same continent.
Now, if tho public schools of the
county would lesve off the high school
subjects (as some have already plan
ned to do) and undertake only the
work of the first seven grades, they
might dispense with one teacher, they
could pay each teacher more, each tea
cher would have less work and strain,
and the whole school would operate
more efficiently. This Is the scheme
in a nutshell: let the county high
schools t who are repared to do the
work) do the work that the county and
State wish them to do?do not at
tempt to do the high school work
where It is of really no value to the
pupil after It is done. The people are
paying taxes that support those
schools, let all the people of the coun
ty take a&vantage t)f *he . ppotunities
that they offer.- This U war time ef
ficiency.
The Justice High School (one of
Franklin county's high schools) has
realized that just such a plan as the
one above outlined will Improve the
efficiency of the elementary schools of
the county greatly. Next year its
doors will be wide open to all boys and
girls of the county seeking high school
Instruction. The school will have a
catalog complete from the press, ready
for mailing within the next four weeks.
Anyone desiring a copy may have same
by writing the principal, Mr. J. C.
Peel. R. F. D. No. 2, Spring Hope,
X. C. Would it not be well for the
committeemen of the various schools
to send for several copies and distrib
ute them In their community in order
that their schools may work more ef
