SEVENTH GRADERS
FIRST UNDER PLAN
Current Members Of That
Grade Will be First Graduated
With Full Benefits
Of New Cirruculum
The curriculum for the 12-year
school plan was adopted last week
ay the executive committee in
:harge of the 12-year school program.
The program, passed by the
1941 general assembly, adding an
:xtra year to all North Carolina
schools, will go into effect with
.he 60,000 to 70,000 pupils now
inrolled in the seventh grade, exalains
Miss Annie May Woodside,
bounty Superintendent of schools.
Dr. Clyde R. Erwin, superintenlent
of public Instruction, who
snnounced the action of the \
p-oup, said it would probably
:ake five ^ears to get the prop-am
into universal effect, but
Jiat most schools would begin
he curriculum this year.
The legislature appropriated
1450,000 to put the 12th grade
dan into partial operation durng
this bienium.
A. B. Combs, of the curriculum
livision of the state department
>f public instruction, said the
srincipal effect of the new currilulums
would be the cstabliehncnt
of an entirely new eighth ,
p-ade.
The eighth grade, he said, will
:ontain subjects which will give
he prospective high school stulent
a broader foundation for his
uglier woik. rue ninvn, ruin,
Llth and 12th grades will be an
xpansion of the old high school
nogram, Combs said.
Students now in grades higher
han the seventh, in some schools,
vill be given the choice of returning
to school after completon
of the present 11-grade curri;ulum
and taking additional
ipecial subjects.
In schools which do not offer
his plan, and where students
vish to be graduated at the end
>f the llth grade, they may do
io and still be qualified for en ollment

Who Have Been
Guilty Of Hoarding
The nation's public school
achers were given last week the
ige task of issuing sugar raaning
books to every man, woan
and child in the nation and
ere directed to crack down on
>arders by withholding the
veet from them until their supies
are used un.
Price Administrator Leon Hensrson
announced details of the
.tioning program under which
>oks containing stamps will be
stributed entitling each indivilal
to a strictly limited quantity
sugar?probably 12 ounces a
eek.
When the 130,000,000 copies of
Var Ration Book No. 1" are dlsibuted
"within a few weeks"
irsons who have built up hoards
sugar will have stamps torn
om their books at the time of
suance, to prohibit purchases by
iem until stocks in their cuplards
are exhausted.
Only one person m each family
ill have to apply for the stamp
ioks. He will be required to sign
i application stating the amount
sugar in his household. All
ipplies over 2 pounds per person
ill be considered hoarded 3ugar,
enderson said.
As a discouragement to dishont
reporting of family sugar supies,
the application will carry
t its face the warning that false
ports to the government are
inishable under the Federal
iminal code with penalties up
$10,000 fine or 10 years lmisonement
t i
"It is expected that there will
i relatively few cases of falsi:ation
in reporting the amount
sugar in the possession of any

formal statement.
Each book will contain 28 nuHired
