Big Dinner Served And AU Attending E 11 joyed The Splendid Program Quite a large crowd attended tlie dedication of the new Justice School building on Saturday, April 29 at which time Hon. R. B. White, Professor in the Law School at Wake Forest College delivered the main address. The program opened with the song "Carolina" after which pray er was offered by Rev. E. Y. Aver itt, pastor of Duke Memorial Bap tist Church. Speaking for Mr. C. H. Stallings, school board member, Rev. Aver itt made commendatory comments on the services that the teachers have rendered to this school both at present and in the past and to gether with Mrs. C. M. Moore, present principal of the Justice School, spoke words of welcome to the patrons and friends of the school and especially to the form er teachers who were special guests on this occasion. Mr. White was presented by Supt. W. R. Mills, County Super intendent of Franklin County, as one who is already well known to most of the audience as a former Superintendent of schools of this county. After repeating a joke he used thirty years ago to begin his speeches hereabouts just to see liow many in the audience would remember, the speaker briefly but pointedly reviewed the develop ment of the schools of Franklin County especially jluring his term as superintendent ^Jhich lasted for 15 years, and from then to the present time ? from the time that the county didn't own a single two-room school house, when $9,000 was the sum total provided for all expenses, the term was four months, teachers' ?salaries about $85 a year to the.-time when he re- | signed when there was a new school building (not brick) ? in every district and $55.<>:io was provided for expenses. Now he called attention to the brick buil dings with all their modern com forts, rooms, and conveniences. Mr. White especially reviewed the story of the effort, time, gen erosity and sacrifice that had been expended by enter prising citizens of the Justice community in estab lishing a school there and in tin-il l?_ Kepii^g a more complete fulfll onent of their. dream in this new modern building which now is ser ving the children of the communi ty. He especially mentioned the name of Mr. J. L. Bowden and Mr. Charlie Wheless. p ? Mr. White continued by saying that a thoroughly sound high school education would enable any one to go on with his education as | he chooses. He declared that he is 1 interested in elementary educa tion being bettered. If we have good elementary and high schools, said he, the colleges will take care of themselves. It is those who are best prepar ed who get the jobs and we want our children to be well prepared. At present there are rumors oi wars ? we don't know what will come. Let's give our children, con tinued the speaker, background so that this America can stand, each one willing to give of self to bring about a better life through better schools. Following Mr. White's talk, the seventh grade, accompanied by Miss Ricks, sang "Heigh Ho June." Mrs. B. D. Stone extended an es pecial welcome to the formei teachers and gave each an oppor tunity to speak if they so desired. Several teachers responded espec ially Supt, T. H. Sledge and Mr. ? E. C. Sexton, each of whom spoke of memories of olden times and PALM BEACH Made To Measure By . J. L. Taylor & Co. - $17.25. - ? O. J. HALE !>rt to Wliet'lor's Barber Shop LOUISBURG, N.
