ination ' Some of the Preeeing
' Needs of the ScnooL' ' - '
By W B. ; Crumpton, Superintendent
' . ' Lamberton Schools v
' It has been the aim and ambition
of the. trustees of the Lumberton
graded school that we should have
here one of the best schools in the
State, one with such a standing, that
the colleges' of ' the State would look
to for students to be riven full credit
as entering the Freshman class with.
out condition.. A W .
No matter how smoothly our school
may be conducted, no matter how
well we are pleased here at home, if
hthe colleges of the Staterefuse . to
allow our graduates to enter without
an examination, our school is a fail
ure. With the idea in View; of meet
ing all the requirements of the South
ern Association of Colleges and
Universities, the school has been so
equipped and the course of study so
arranged that a boy or girl graduat
ing from the high school will be ad-!
mitted on certificates from the Sup
erintendent" of the school, without ex
amination, to the Freshman class of
any college or" university in the South.
That practically means any college or
university in tthei'-aatic'':'
I. am sure everyone is proud of this
distinction when we knew that there
are not very many of the high schools
of the State placed on this accredited
list. The large majority of them are
unable to meet the conditions. r - ' 1
. TUs does not by any manner of
means signify that we should stop
trying to improve the, school, There
are a great many things to be done
in order xor us w noia uus posiuou
among the best high schools of the
OOUtn. some or our pressmy . neeuo
are as follows; A new high school
building' in - which the boys., may be
(aken care of in manual training and
other laboratory work; more books
for the library establishment r of a
business eourse In addition . to the re
gular literary courses now being; giv
en. It seems to me one of the most
needed things: to be done just at this
time is for the people of the town to
begin 'a discussion of a new Building.
What kind of a high school building
is needed in Lumberton? How much
should the town put in such a plant?

Winston-Salem, Dec. 13-The much
Ulked-6f opposition to Dr. W. L. Po
teat," president of Wake Forest college,-
relative to his reported views
on the evolutionary theory, failed
utterly to develop at the session of
the State Baptist convention tonight,
when 'Dr. Poteat delivered the open
ing address and so stirred the great
congregation that listened to him that
when he closed the assemblage, as
with one voice, broke into the song,
AH Hau the Power of Jesus' Name.
Dr. Poteat spoke with deep feelint
and what he had to say seemed com
pletely to satisfy the audience as to
his religious views. When the song
that followed his address ended, not
a note of opposition arose, and the
convention proceeded with other fea
tures of the program. - ; ;
This afternoon the question of lo
cation for Meredith' college was set
tled after several hours debate, with
a practically unanimous vote ratify
ing the action of the board of trus
tees in selecting Method, near Ral

tion to co-ordinate the college with
Wake Forest was not sustained. : ;
