X^Ui Wilkesboro has, ia keop-
with tb« other Industries of
j^, dfy> Tnade deflnlt© progress
i finee its beginning. The first
H«Wlc school tor the children was
^■•Ojwated In the house now occu-
by Mr. L. A. Orudger. It
Was after the Winston Land and
A|pro?ement Company erected a
. l»gc wooden building on the
.earner of .3rd and D Streets that
Ae public schools were deflnite-

Mon.
On March 4. 1905, th© general
assembly of North Carolina pass
ed an act creating the North
Wnkesboro special charter dls-
Wct. In this act or charter it
was specified that all of the ter-
jJtory embraced within the 9or-
mration limits of the town of
Xorth Wilkesboro should b® .in-
iinded In the newly created dis-
Uriet. This act set forth very def-
AUely the manner for the elect-
te of a board of six trustees.
“ In 1913 the large brick build-
fiig was erected that now houses
Ae first five grades of the school
system. At the time of erection
this building w^as considered one
•C the'finest in the State. It then
snatained ample room for all of
Ae grades.
-In 1924 the building facing E
Areet was erected. At the pres
ent time grades six through elev
en are in this building.
The total enrollment of the
•Aools last year reached 1153.
TUs represents the largest • in
Ae histoiy of the schooi. This
I«ar the enrollment will, in all
probability, go beyond last
ynar's mark.
At the present time thirty
tnehers are employed in the
aAools, distributed as follows:
Wlite elementary, sixteen; high
•eiool, eight; colored elemeiit-
■rr, five; and superintendent.
Coui>es of Study
The board of education has al
ways held to the policy that the
awrpose of the school is to fit
Ac needs of the communit.v. With
soclt an oi>je'live, three courses
•r study are offered in the high
artool. the academic, scientific,
and general. The first two cours-
naTmeet the college entrance re-
nolrements, while the thirtl or
general course aims to give a
geceral high school education
without meeting the entrance re-
fckrements to various colleges.
In addition to the regular aca
demic subjects home economics
fe'Bffered to all girls in high
school. This is a two-.vear course
Twt is popular among the girls.
Bdme economics is no longer re-
■tricted' to teaching girls cooking

this year a school term of nine
months will be one of the pre
requisites of uioflBbwrship in the
Association. Other requirements
such as training of teachers, ade
quate library facilities, labora
tory facilities, etc., are fully met.
In this connection it is wor
thy of notice that all of the high

standard colleges and universi
ties. Practically all of the teach
ers in the entire system hold A
grade teachers certificates.

liibrary Facilities
Within the past three years the
library facilities for the sixth
and seventh grades and high
school have been more than
trebled. Within this time the
room has been enlarged from
eighty square feet of floor space
to nine hundred. Adjustable book
cases and shelves were made pos
sible by a gift from the class of
1932. At the present time there
are 3,000 volumes on the shelves.
Nineteen periodicals come regul
arly to tile library. The county
papers and one daily paper are
placed there for the use of the
students.
Southern .Association standards

part-time librarian. Several stu
dents assist the librarian in hand
ling the routine matters.
In the first five grades each
room has "its individual library.
It, has been largely due to the
sriftidid work of the Parent-
Teacher Association that the high
school and grade libraries have
been built up to the position they
now hold.

Xorlli Wilkesboro has the
lii.gliest standard negro school in
this section of the state. Each of
the five teacliers employed there
