It has been only a few years since Hendersonville erected a model school building of which it was very proud and is yet proud, but of which she has vain regrets today too small for the demands made upon the building.

The local board will appear before the county Board of Educa tion at the next monthly meeting in the hope of receiving aid. Something must be provided in the way of building and the state is willing to lend $5,000 at 4 per cent.

The school census last year showed that Hendersonville had about 700 white persons of school age. it is estimated that about 100 of these are graduates or in other schools, but that the drifting population, which must be provided for, .will offset those not subject to attendance. During the past year there were 340 children between the compulsory ages of 8 and 14. More than 42 per cent of these attended last year less than three months and a good part of this per centage of pupils was never enrolled When enforced to attend there will be what is predicted a serious con gestion. The trustees estimate that additional room will have to be pro vided for from 150 to 200 pupils on account of the enforcement of attend ance. The school board owes notes at the banks for $6,000. The operating ex penses during the past year were $10,815.39 (presumably including colored school.) The total disburse ments for building repairs, interest, navment of notes, etc.. amounted to $14,255.31.
