Elated by Hoey.
The school forces were elated at
the statement made by Governor
Hoey in favor of a closer relationship
between the State Department of Puib
lie Instruction and the State School
Commission in which he said he could
not “escape the conclusion that the
State superintendent of public in
struction should be the real head of
the whole public school system,” al
though they were somewhat disap
pointed when he failed to urge the
abolition of the State School Commis
sion. Instead, Governor Hoey said
that “the good offices of the School
Commission should be retained with
full powers to safeguard the school
funds by a wise and business-like ap
prtionment and expenditure of the
school appropriation.” This latter
statement is regarded as definitely
indicating that Governor Hoey will
not agree to any move involving the
abolition of the State School Commis
sion, although the first part of his

statement is regarded as indicating

Instruction Clyde A. Erwin chairman
of the commission.
Would Abolish Commission.
The one thing the school forces
would like more than anything else,
even more than an increase in sal
aries, is the complete elimination and
abolition of the State School Com
mission, most of those in close touch
with the political background of the
school situation here agree. The su
perintendents, and to a lesser degree,
the classroom teachers, resent the
strict and careful manner in which
the school commission has kept watch
over the school appropriations, and
its insistence that the schools must
operate within their appropriations
and maintain a balanced budget. The
superintendents, especially, resent the
close check which the school com
mission keeps on all their expendi
tures and often have become peevejj
ibecause it would not let them spend
money for this and that either be
cause the money was not available or
because the commission did not feel
the expenditure was justified. The su
perintendents and teachers have also
resented the fact that the commis
sion was composed mostly of business
men instead of school people, al
though a number of the members of
the commission are former teachers
and superintendents.
Want Full Control.
But having failed in ihe last three
sessions of the assembly to get even
to first base in its efforts to abolish
the commission, the school forces for
the time being have decided to make
their drive to secure control of the
commission by getting the legislature
to designate the State superintendent
of public instruction its chairman in
stead of the lieutenant governor, it
is now generally agreed. They are al
so hopeful that the personnel will be
reorganized so that all of the mem
bers of the State Board of Education
will also be members of the commis
sion. If they can succeed in one or
iboth of these moves, the school lead
ers are confident they can secure con
trol of the commission and hence of
the spending of the appropriation of
between $24,000,000 and $25,000,000 a
year, which is their principal objec
tive.

This is where the make-up and per
sonnel of the Senate and House Com
mittees on Education came into the
picture. All proposals to change the
present" manner of administering the
public schools and the school funds
must go before both of these educa
tion committees and be approved by
them before they can ever reach the
floor of either house for legislative
action. Accordingly, the school forces
must be assured of a majority in both
of these committees favorable to their
program before they can hope to get
it adopted—and if possible, chairmen
favorable to their cause. It is known
that very strong pressure was brought
to bear oth upon Lieutenant Governor
W. P. Horton and Speaker R. Gregg

cation committees which would ib.e

Blow to School Hopes.
It was hence quite a blow to the
schoql forces and a decided victory
for those favoring the continuation
of the Schqol Commissin as it is now
enstituted, when Representative Hugh
G. Horton of Martin county, was
named chairman of the House Edu
cation Committee and Senator J. W.
Noeil, of Roxboro, Person county, was
named chairman of the Senate Edu
cation Committee. The personnel of
these committees is also regarded as
consisting for the most part of ex
perienced legislators and hard-head
ed business men who are not likely to
be influenced by anything but facts.
Most of the members of these two
committees also know that the Gen
eral Assembly created the School Com
mission ten years ago—then it was
called the board of equalization— to
insure business-like administration of
school funds provided by the State
