MJMBJtS Delayln Paying Teachers For 6th Month Of School . Cnripiintendent Advises Budgets Are Checked. Money Not Lacking _ f Records Must Be Gotten Straight Firsl-lxtcal School Funds In Good Shape. Tf mav or not be surprise to tha teachers of the state that they the close of the sixth of their school work, anywhere the 5th to 20th of March, only I. month's pav >n>te»d ot the full month’s salary. . < This will be something new in Ran dolph and some other counties, but ! 1 not be any surprise m counties in teachers were not paid m full "til K>ng after the school terms closed. However, this delay in payment of teachers is not due to any lack of 2ey on part of the state. It is Jr reason that there are 100 county chool budgets and several moi-e hun dred special school budgets to.be checked at Raleigh before monthly nav checks can be issued. All teach ers' are paid now for the constitution al six months term from Raleigh, and not from or by individual counties and municipalities. Local funds, both county and city, are in good shape in Randolph and so are state funds, but it will be nec essary for budgets to be checked and minor differences straightened out before full monthly checks may be issued for the sixth and last month of the state-wide term. It may be, however, that those teachers whose sixth month of school does not close until the middle of March or later will obtain their entire check, since budgets may have been checked by that time. The following letter from A. T. Allen, state superintendent of public instruction, sheds light on tlie mat “lt is now thought that it would be fairer to everyone concerned if only one-half of the salary for the last month is withheld \ until the budgets can be balanced. This will necessitate, of course, the issuance of two vouchers for the salary in -the last month. I hope, therefore, in making your estimate of needs you will from thist dn i«to *qtnade*w tion the suggestions herein made. We are balancing budgets as rapidly as possible and hope that the delay, if any, will be very slight. It may be possible to complete the task before the six months term is out in all the counties.’’ Colored School To Observe Rosenwald Day On March 4th “Julius Rosenwald Day” will be ob served, Friday, March 4, by the teach ers and students of the Randolph County Training School for the col ored race, according to announcement by the principal, C.

Plan Consolidation Two Rural Routes In The Western Section Propose That Caraway, Route 1, And Asheboro Route 2, Be Carried By Same Man. A consolidation of two mail routes in western Randolph 'this week has been proposed and, if carried out will bring about a change in mail service to this section of the county. The routes in this section, as in other sections, were established during the horse-and-buggy days when the com ing of the mail man was a real event. The routes were then laid off to cov er around twenty-five miles, which was a good day’s trip for both man and horse over muddy ami dusty roads as the case might be. Since 1910 or ’12, the horse has disappeared from the mail routes of Randolph, but the routes have remained the same, or practically so. The change recently planned is in the combination of the Caraway"route and Asheboro route two. Allen J. Macon, who died a few weeks ago was the mail carrier on Asheboro route three, which included Farmer ami vi cinity. The recommendation by the postal inspector provided for J. J. Miller, who is the carrier on route two; to come to Asheboro and carry the mail out on route three, formerly car ried by Mr. Macon, and that N. S. Andrews carry, the mail on the com bined routes of Caraway and route two. The recommendation has gone in to Washington, but no notice of the con firmation of the proposal has been given in the Asheboro postoffice as yet.
