SCHOOL SURVEY IN CABARRUS ORDERED BY COUNTY BOARD Prof. A. M. Proctor, of Duke University, Will Make the Survey.—School Build ings Authorized. Various important business matters, some of them affecting the entire county, were discussed and acted upon by the county , board of education at a meeting Monday at the court house. One of the most important matters authorized by *-he board will result in a survey of ,the public schools of the county, the work to be started in the Rear future. The survey will be made by Prof. A. M. Proctor, director of Duke University Summer School and one of the best known educators in the state. Os county-wide interest and import ance also, was the awarding of cqn tracts for additional school houses. The aboard authorized the erection of a five-room building at to house colored children, and the building of six additional rooms to the Hartsell Mill school. John R. Query, of Concord, was awarded both contracts. Mr. Query informed the board that work on the two projects will begin at once and it is planned to have them completed in time for the opening of the schools in the fall. By resolution members of the board went on record as favoring six hours of work in each of the public schools in the county. It was explained that heretofore some of the students not required to work six hours each day, but under the schedule approved iu the resolution the minimum here after will be six hours. Under this schedule the teachers will report at their respective schools by 8:30 a. m., chapel exercises will begin at 8:45 and continue fifteen minutes, and classroom work will be gin at 9 o’clock. If the teachers deem it best to have recess periods, and this is usually done, the school must be kept in operation until six hours daily are devoted to school work. That is, if the school' has an hour for dinner, it will be kept in operation until 4 p. m., whereas if half an hour is allowed for dinner work will be halted at 3:30 p. in. The board also approved plans by whi£n county students will be sent to ■County high schools where it is feas ible and possible. Last year, it was pointed out, some rural high school students were sent to the Concord high school which was well filled al ready, while a county high school, al most as near as the one here, was not filled. It is better, the board decided, for rural children to go to rural high school where it is possil.e and where no undue hardship is worked on any one. The survey by Mr. Proctor, it is pointed out, has been ordered for the purpose of securing a county-wide pro gram of organization, and it mav re sult in changes to the principal school unite of the county. The survey, S. Glenn Hawfield, county superintendent of schools, stat ed, was recommended by A. T. Allen, State Superintendent of Schools, and it will be under the supervision of the General Education Boar dos New York. ’* This organization will bear all expenses, making the survey cost to -the county nothing. “The survey,” Mr. Hawfield said, “will give us data for a county-wide program of organization, and at the same time will make available for us advice anil suggestions from an emi nent educator, Mr. Proctor.” It was explained that Mr. Proctor has had wide experience in survey work, having made surveys for sev erals counties in the State.
