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.

T\te man killed in an automobile ac
cident Saturday night near Norwood
has been identified as Frank Jones, of
Thomaston, Ga., it has been learned
here. His body has been sent to
the Georgia town for interment.
Jones had been living in Kannapolis
for about three it ia said, and
was known there as Ernest Davie. A
story from Albemarle says officers in
vestigating the case have not been
able to learn definitely why he changed
his name when he moved to North
Carolina, but it is believed that he
had been in trouble of some kind and
wanted to start life over under a new
name after becoming a Tar Heel.
Discussing this case and another
in which Harlie Rowland was killed,
an Albemarle dispatch says:
George Furr, of Kannapolis, who
was riding with Jones at the time of
the wreck, and who was carried to the
home of his brother at Norwood. Dace
Furr, immediately after the wreck, has
been moved to a hospital at Kannapo
lis and it has been found that his
skull is fractured.
John Austin, who was in the car
which collided with the Kannapolis
machine and who was brought to the
Yadkin Hospital here for treatment,
was today able to leave the hospital
and is getting along favorably.
Misses Cannie Hatley and Ola Low
der, the two young girls who were in
jured yesterday when Harlie Rowland
was killed by the Albemarle-Char
lotte bus two miles west of Albe
marle, are still in a serious condi
tion, but it is believed will recover, if
no complications set in.
The funeral of young Harlie Row
land wae held at the home of his
father, J. A. Rowland, in the New
London vicinity this afternoon. Re
ports say that a very large crow r d
attended the funeral. A large num
ber of Albemarle people attended as
the young man was well known here
and had a large circle of friends.
