True Story
Of Schools
To Be Told Citizens of Franklin
County? Organizations Now Per
fected to Carry The Message??
Interesting Meeting at Mills
School Monday Night
Showing that the school Indebted
ness is only 14.2 per cent of the
States total debt and that with 215
less teachers 47,240 more pupils
are being taught, together with oth
er economies showing the schools *
have borne more than their share of
the depression by a saving of $18,
000,000, was Supt. Best's answer to
the charges generally Indulged In
by an uninformed public, that the
schoola are responsible for the big
1-ublic debt and the high taxci, at
a meeting of representatives of the
Junior Order Councils of the Coun
ty officers of the many P. T. Associa
tions and local committee members
who are interested and active in the
present campaign to Interpret the
school system of Franklin County
to the public or to those who pay
the bills, held at Mills School on
Monday night.
The meeting was largely attended
and evidenced much enthusiasm In
the work. Supt. Best was impres
sive in his explanations of the or
ganizations and the fact that the
duty of each member was to take
a true story of the schools costs,
practices and policies, without exag
geration or painting to the entire
public In the County.
The County Committee, whose du
ty It is to govern and engineer this
campaign and provide speakers
when needed is composed of E. L.
Best, O. S. Harris, W. R. Mills, S.
L. Bowen, T. H. Sledge, W. O. Reed,
J. A. Woodward and E. T. Parham.
Special District Committees hare
been appointed for each of the mv
en high school districts, in which
the P. - T. Associations and Junior
Order Councils will join to carry on
the campaign. These committees
will hold meeting and devise means
of getting the information about the
schools to all the people within the
district. This program will be car
ried on throughout the school year
in cooperation with a like move
ment in every County throughout
the State.
In speaking of the $18,000,000
saving made in the schools of North
Carolina for the past three year
period Mr. Best said the fact that
this reduction has been made does
not mean that North Carolina school
people were extravagant before the
depression ? for they were furnish
ing the people of the State a school
opportunity for their children even
then In 1928, when we reached the
peak of expenditures, for less than
half the national average per child
per year. There has never been a
Joy ride of spending in the schools
especially when it is considered that
fully three-fourths of the total cost
of operation goes into teachers sal
aries, and these salaries, before the
cut, did not average $900 a year.
Including Interest and payments on
bonds Mr. Best pointed out the av
erage cost per child per year in
North Carolina in 1930 was $37.44
as compared with $75.39 in the Na
tion as a whole. The per pupil cost
in Franklin County for the same
period was $29.80.
Supt. Best asked the Committees
to get busy and start the work at
once and to make a report to him
by December 20th.
At the beginning of the meeting
Supt. Best made a.- plea to the peo
ple of each Community to try to
build up a pride, and sentiment in
their school property that will put
a stop to so much damage to the
buildings. This is a very serious
feature and a problem that is re
sponsible for a large outlay of school
funds that should not be necessary.
At the conclusion many were giv
en opportunity to express themselves
on the program among them besides
the many committee members were
Messrs. E. H. Malone, O. M. Beam,
W. T. Moss and C. C. Hudson. Mr.
Hudson, a member of the New
Board of County Commissioners
made a very pretty and strong talk
in behalf of Education and assured
his support to the cause.
