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.
