Any School With Five Months' Term and two Teachers May Secure Course Upon Deposit of $250 With County Treasurer State Appropriates Dol lar for Dollar. The last General Assembly pro vided for the establishment of pub lic high schools, the number to which any county is entitled being limited to four, and provided au ap propriation to aid the counties in carrying out the law. These schools are to he established by the (Jouuty Board of Education with the con Bent of the State Bourd of Educa tion. Any community desiring to es tablish a public high school must provide not less than five months' public school with two teachers for the common public school giades, that is, from the first to seventh erades. Then it must si cure and deposit with the County Treasurer not less than $250. uu tor tne ex Tenses of the public high school. The State will then allow the com mittee of the high school an appro pnation of one dollar tor every dol lar the coniunttee raises up to $500.00. The public high schools are to be conducted under the direct surer vision of the County Board of Edu cation and a high school committee appointed by the Board. The State Superintendent will fix the course of study and certificate all teachers for the high school grades. Boys and girls will be admitted from any part of the county upon proof of their being ready to eutr the high school grades, and pupils thus admitted will receive free tui tion. In case no public schooh are es tablished as provided above the County Board of Education may contract with some good publin high school already established to give free tuition to a number of child ren who are prepared to euter the high school gr.des, that is, the grades from the eighth up. Of course it may be expected that every applicant for free tuition in a pub lic high school shall stand an ex amination which if paBStd success fully, will entitle him to free tui tion. The State Board of Education will have the authority to make all general rules and regulations for the government of public high schools, and until these rulea and regulations are made and published it cannot be stated just what require ments may be made as to admitting pupils, as to employing teachers, and as to what the course of study will contain. Bnt since much of the regulations and requirements will be left to the wisdom and judg ment of the State Superintendent it is safe to say that that part of the public high school system will be well cared for, for there is no abler or more careful Superintendent of Public Instruction than our own James Y. Joycer. These public high schools will do much to pro- Tide the State with better equipped teachers in the elementary public schools, and this alone will be worth many times what they will cost. Towns having one thousand in habitants are nob entitled to State aid in establishing and maintaining public high schools, but the Connty Board of Education may contract with p blic high schools, in such towns in give instruction ia the high schools grades in case no pub- lie high schools are estar'ab.ed id the county L The approj iuv.on for public high schools will not be sc u cieut to establish four in every coun ty iu tne State, and for that leason Randolph should go to work to got the full number allowed the co! Jty before they are taken by othor coun ties. We should like to see tne tun nuutber established in our county, and if our people will put forth suL :ieu effort it can be i! r" Tne requirements to be Co .sici-r ed first ar as follows: (1) V r-bHi school running not less than five month? in the year with two teach ere; (2; it school house having three good rooms, and (a) SzoO.OO deposi ted "it! the couuty tKa .er fcr cue ..unli' high school tu oe estab lished. Ot course it should be re itenilertd that $250.00 is the mini. mum requirement; the otate win give dollar for dollar up to $500.00 per year. For further information persons interested might see the County Boad of Education at its meeting ou the first Monday in May. DON'T WANT THE BELL. Report at JRandleman that Aibrboro Has Granted Franchise, False The telephone agitation continues but it is not hard to distinguish the will of the people as to granting the Bell Telephone Company fran chise to enter Asheboro with its liue. Petitions were circulated last week for the purpose of ascertain ing the will of the subscribers, and practically al! who have been shown the petition have signed freelv. The petition urges the town commission ers to i.eny the Company the tran chise. All advocate securing long distance through the local company by connection with the Bell at the nearest point. The majority of the , opie are opposed to the Bell and its methods. The statement reported to have been made by the Bell Telephone Co. repre entative ' at Randleman yesterday afternoon that a bad fran chise in Asheboro had been secured for the Bell is untrue utid without foundation. Next week we will publish a letter from Mr. II P. Greir, of Statesville, which throTs light upon the methods of the Bell Company, which are similar to the misrepresentations made at Kandle man vesterdav. It will lie hard to select a board of Alderman in Ashe boro who will permit the Bell Tele phone Co. to enter the town. There are not five citizens of the town who favor it. DISTRICT LEAGUE "ENCE.
