Rather, he said, adjustments prob ably will nave to come, within each school. Among primary teachers there will have to be a shift, with combination grades probably the only answer. Benhaven school reports 22 more first graders than at the end of two weeks a year ago. Angler has 13 more than last year. Coats has 39 more first grade pupils. Lillington 27 more, Buckhom, an increase of six, and LaFayette three more than a year ago. Dunn and Erwin al ready have reported increases over last year.
