Barely, those who are clamor ing to vote off the extended term In franklin County do not really know, or hare not considered the effects it woald have upon the schools of onr County. Those who are not familiar with this subject will probably Inquire the meaning of the ex tended term In which we are Tit ally Interested. The State Con stitution requires the county to run Its schools for a term of six months. The 1931 Legislature passed an Act. by which the state assumed support and operation ol the six months' term. Time taught beyond the constitutional nix months' requirement Is call ed the "extended term." Frank lin County has an eight months' term, requiring an extended term of two months. The method of financing this extended term is not understood by many taxpayers. In an en deavor to make this point clear I will say the school system Is di vided into six special taxing dis tricts: Bunn, Youngsville, Ep som, Gold Sand, Cedar Rock-Cy press Creek, and Loulsburg, and special chartered district ot Franklinton. In each district a local tax Is levied to help finance the extended term. Districts which levy a local tax receive aid from the state through a Tax Re duction Fund. No county can participate in this fund without levying such tax. If It i* neces sary tor a district to levy' a flft> cent tax on hundred dollars eval uation of property for extended term and bonded indebtedness, the district levies a tax of seven teen cents, and receives thirty three cents from Tax Reduction Fund. Many taxpayers believe the propaganda being circulated tc the effect that voting off the tx tended term will reduce taxi s but they have a mistaken vie? jf the matter. The necessity toi reducing taxes is urgent, but in .Head of reducing taxes it would increase them. Naturally ybu ask "why?" To construct our modern build ings it was necessary to issue bonds, and these bonds have not been paid. This indebtednest must be taken care of even though we vote off the extended term The amount received from the | Tax Reduction Fund materially ! helps us to pay our obligations. If the extended term is vpted off we will no longer receive a share of this fund. Instead df levying ' a tax of seventeen cents, a larg er local tax will be necessary foi our bonded Indebtedness, without ' considering the loss sustained ic an educational way. , What happens wlfen a district levies a fifty cent local tax, lese Che amount received from th*. fax Reduction Fund, and findL the amount insufficient to pay ctorsst and Installments due on its indebtedness? It has the promise of the Board of Educa tion and Board of County Com missioners that they will pay that part which the district is unable to pay. , Let us consider some of jthe educational advantages we now enjoy, due to the untiring efforts of those who have been inter .ested in the educational growth ''of our county. > | Just a few years ago our [school buildings and equipment were totally inadequate for our needs. Today every district has a modern, accredited high school, and at ." least one elementary school. High school graduates may enter college ' without en trance examinations. These high schools MUST nave as much as an eight months' term to remain ion the accredited list. The County Superintendent ot .Schools. Mr. E. L.- Best, has super vision of the entire school system. I There is a principal (or each high i school..> *11? ' is also supervising I principal ' of the elemeutary schools in his district. Each ele mentary school has a principal. For the school session of 19-3" 33 there are one hundred eighty two teachers, divided as follows: Six high school principals, twen ty-seven high ? school teachers, one hundred forty-six elementary teachers. and three teachers of | vocational agriculture. No white teachers are employed who have to a (take, thence crossing said creek with said Martin's line ? 34 ^4 degrees W 18 10 chains tc a stone in a wire fence, Q. H.

Franklin County, poor in a fi nancial Way; has been rich in cul ture. Louisburg Female Acade my was educating the girls of Franklin County and tWs section of North Carolina, long before the educational advantages we enjoy were ever dreamed of. The number of girls who could attend this academy was limited to these whose parents could pay their tu ition, but the effect of that cul ture has long been reflected in the citizenship of our county. With such a heritage can we transmit to the next generation a lower standard than was set up for us? Instead of voting off the ex tended term would it not ba a better idea to Improve our pres ent system when (he depression is over? While we have accom plished much our system still has many limitations. Franklin County cannot afford to give to its boys and girls school advantages inferior to those enjoyed by neighboring counties. Naturally, the best trained teachers would seek em ployment in other counties and states. The preparation to teach Is expensive, and our most tal ented educators would drift into other professions where the op portunities for earning a live lihood would be greater. A six months' term automatic ally discards the teaching of Ag ! riculture and Home Economics, since no school can have them tyi less they had as much as an ! eight months' term. Franklin is ; an agricultural county, and in ^be lives of many 61 our boys and girls these subjects are far more important than many of the sub jects they wouhl be forced to take If these courses are not posciblo. Just stop and think. With the possible exception of Frankllnton there would be no high schools in the county! There is no such thing as a six months' high school in North Carolina. To secure high school instruction it would be necessary to leave the county at a much greator cost, ana in a critical time like the present many of our youog people would be denied this privilege. The av erage pupil would finish the sev enth grade at the age of fifteen, and few fifteen year old pupils would go to another county to enter the eighth grade with chil dren 01 twelve years of age. In stead of being able to attract people to become residents of our county, to help us carry our tax load, those offering better educa tional advantages for their chil dren, and could we blame them? Those who have given the mat ter considerable thought are of the opinion that the state wIlL take over the maintenance.^ our eight months' school" term "as soon as the financial structure of the state will stand the strain. A little more sacrifice, and perhaps a little less spent for gasoline and automobile tires, wilt, help us to span the years that must Inter vene until the state it In t posi tion to afford the counties this relief. ? ? \ I trust this year will complete my high school education at Ep som High School, a wonderful, consolidated high school which you, deaf taxpayer, have made possible for me through your In terest and sacrifice. I thank yon sincerely for th*#e advan tages. and trust you may never feel that your money was spent In vain. The plea 1 am about to make in closing Is an unselfish oh, as I have neither a brother nor a lister to attend school. I am pleading for the bora and girls ? (Continued on ?l|? Bight) t
