A VOTE ON THE BOYS AND GIRLS OF FRANKLINTON j TOWNSHIP, JUNE 23 1923 Let It Be a Unanimous Ballot In Their Favor and Place This Record in the Archives Of the New Building, Photo graph a Copy and Hang on Its Walls. The 23rd of June, 1923 will mean as much to Frankllnton Township as any day In Its history, either In its past or in its future. On that day a ballot will be cast for its boys and girls, the future citizens of the town ship. The proposition carries with It the giving of equal school advantages to all the children regardless of wealth, poverty or locality. The following are some of the facts concerning the proposed C msoll.lat ed Frankllnton Township School. 1. It will mean a standard elemen tary school and a standard high school for the entiro school popula tion of the township. 2. A graduate of this school will be able to enter any college in the State or the State University without examination or condition 3. A graduate of this prfhool will receive a State Teacher's Elementary Certificate without further examina tion. 4. From the equipment being in stalled and the enriched curriculum that will be possible, a student can prepare himself for making a living ,if it is impossible for him to attend college. Courses in agriculture will be given to those who will ,eave this school for the farm, business courses will be offered to those who wish to engage In business. Domestic Science will be taught and the girls will ex perience the satisfaction^ of knowing how much soda should go in a diges tible biscuit, how to make a simple garment, how to furni?h ar. attractive hrme, as well as music, geometry and literature. Since my association and connec tion with the county schools the chil dren residing in the Popes. Mt. Olivet :Katesville and Xlltchiner's school dis tricts have had the advantage of one room schools, one teacher attempting seven grades of work, for only six tuonths in the year. I have not met with any one for a long tlmt that has the nerve to argue the advantages of a one room school. Where it has Leen possible to do otherwise the one room schools in North Carolina have faded out and we think of them only as an ancient relic. It matters not wtat her scholarship or professional training may be it is Just as impossi ble for a teacher to do successfully seven grades of work as 1'. is for a man to chop three or more acres of cotton per day. The ground may be covered out the work Is not properly done. The only hope that a one room 'school district has tor giving its chil dren standard school advantages Is ^ to Join with some other district, and with the present condition of our roads acd our means of transporta t'.:o standard consolit'.a'ed school lis even nearer to the child than hia Inefficient one room school There aro two things that are absolutely necessary for the upkeep of an effic ient school, children and funds. The number of teachers that are employ led is entirely dependent pen the av erage attendance of Iht children. The type of building and equipment, the class of teachers employed nre entire ly dependent upon the available funds. Me one room school district cannot furnish either (he children or ttie funds. Oti courSe the consolidation of the small schools with the Frank llnton School will be of some aid to the Frankllnton School, as it will in crease Its size and the number of teachers. However I am not so much concerned about this school as I am the outlying districts for the reason that Frankllnton if it did not go out side of its Incorporated limits could maintain a school oven if It were not [quite so large. But as stated above the small districts are dependent up on the Frankllnton School. There Is another phase of this pro ject that cannot be overlooked. The Frankllnton Building and Equipment, which cannot be excelled in all North Carolina not even in the large cities, have been given an a gift to the town ship. In all my dreams of school projects, and I have surely had many, no one ever came to me that we had a man In Franklin County with a purse and heart so big that he would do nate $300,000 for a school building and Its equipment. The equal of this has never been seen or heard of In the history of our state. From the view point of dollars and cents I would like for the people of Frank llnton Township to think aphat they would Xave to pay annually if they had voted (300,000 in bonds or had borrowed thlB amount from tho State I<oan Fund. Figure this on the basis of 20 years, one twentieth" of the prin cipal each year and even If money could be secured at four and one-half ter cent, But after all It Is not the money va lue that we appreciate the most, but I he motive and purpose behind the gift, a OREAT LOVE of a GREAT MAN for the boys and glrla of his township. By his actions, not mere ly words, Mr. Vann has proven that he realizes and brieves that the coun Iry children of Frankllnton Township deserve Just as good school advan tages as the chtldron elsewhere, that jGod Intended- for them to have the. Ibarr.e opportunity to make good in lifo as other children. In writing this at tide I simply wanted the people in Franklinton Township to get my at titude towards this school project and too I wanted publicly to expresss to cur loyal and public spirited county-1 iut.n, the sincere thanks and appre ciation of the Franklin County School, authorities for what he has done for the young citizenship of Franklinton Township, especially for the districts of Popes, Mt. Olivet. Katesville and Mitchlners for surely no cne knows v.hat it means to these children more than we do. Mr. Vann cannot be with Franklin ton Township always but he has given to its boys and girls something that no man can take away from them, something that can never die but will live through the ages. I sincerely hope and believe that each voter In Franklinton Township will express his appreciation of what this man has done, by casting his bal lot on the 23rd of June for the thing that lies not only near his heart but close to the hearts of every Mother ai d Father In the District. Let us then cast -a unanimous vote tcr the boys and girls of Franklinton, Township on the 23rd of. June. I know of no oil painting that would taean as much to the pcsterUy o! Franklinton Township, as a photo* graph of this unanimous vote. Lief us make this picture possible and hang It on the most conspicuous wall in our building. E. L. BEST. Supt.

Little masses or tumors that grow in the throat Just above and back of the opening in the nose into the mouth and also in front of the tubes connecting the ears with the throat. What they do? They may cause the child to have some ot these condi tions : a running nose, snuffles, fre qi ent bad coldB, so called c:>taTh, in* sufficient breathing, narrow chest, run nisg ears, abbess. carache, deafness, r.*d eyes, impaired vision, irregular or, protruding teeth, contour or shape of face deformed, short upper lip, snor ing. mouth breathing, mouth dropped , open, nose not properly developed, i dull pale or anemic.

Dis eased or very much enlarged tonsils nave many of the above symptoms to which might be added others even more grave. Diseased tonsils are sometimes held responsible for so-call ed rheumaUssm, for heart disease, kidney trouHe, bad digestion and tu | berculosis.
