Two County
Principals
Quit Posts
W. C. Poe at Aycock
and A: C. Gay at
Townsville Give Up
Schools Here; Succes
sors Not Named Yet
for Coming Year.
Principals of two of Vance coun
ty's five rural consolidated high
schools have resigned and will not
return next year. Their successors
have not been named, it was said
today at the office of Superintendent
K. M. Hollins.
V C Poe, who has been principal
at Aycock high school, four miles
* a-t ol the city, something like a
dozen or so years, handl'd in his re
ignation several days ago David E.
Gay. who has served as principal oi
I ■ 'Wiisvillc high school lor the past
lurce or 1 onr years, has likewise re
. igned.
Following friction that recently de
' cl iped. .1. G Puckett, chairman, and
!• P. Floyd, secretary, of the local
cl.ool hoard for Aycock, have both
r- igned. The other three members
"I the live-man board, are George
P Hoherson. .1. IV1. Kohertson and
• hie P. Southerland.
Procedure m filling vacancies for
principals is that the locai commit
tee.' shall make the selections, sub
i''ct to approval by the county educa
tion hoard. Principals recommend
their laeulty members, who must he
■ ppiovrd by both the local hoard
■ ■nil the county ho u d. In addition
to Mr. Poe's retirement, several
r einhers ol the Avmek faculty are
not expected to he buck the coming
year.
Pi mcipaLs of the other- three rural
l ! o"l . H. ('. Young at Zeb Vance,
I (> ^oung, Jr., at Middleburg, and
S. IV Grows at f)ubncy, have been
re elected and are expected to re
turn.
C. OF C. DIRECTORS
WILL MEET TONIGHT
■
The hoard of directors of the Hen
deison Cham her of Commerce will
meet at ft o'clock tonight at the or- j
conization s ottiecs. it was annotine- |
td today by Arthur II. Surprise, scc
i clary.
A number o! important matters
mo h* conic up lor discussion and a
lull attendance of the directors is
desired.
I --
Demand For Negro Schools
Urgent Problem Of County
_
Expected To Get Consideration in Budget Fix
ing for Coming Year; Accumulation of Funds
Over Period Talked.
Increasing demand for larger
quarters foi Negro school in H< nder
si>n is taking on the aspects ot an
urgent problem lor the county, it
was said today by Superintendent
E. M. Hollins, who. has given much
thought lately to its solution, and
who is considering several proposals
to be laid before the County Board
of Education and ttic Vance Board
of County Commissioners.
A recent gr. nd jury in superior
court severely criticized conditions
in colored schools and State Eire
Marshal Sherwood Broekwell con
demned the Central colored graded
school, which, however, is still in use
for want of better accomodations
Mr Hollins observed today that en
rollment and attendance in the
colored schools is growing, while
that in the white sellouts is declin
ing.
Three methods of providing funds
lor a building program are open
to county authorities. One of these
is tor the voters at ;m election to
lithor ze a bond issue: a ,-eeond is
for the rou-tv commissioners each
year to i>mic new bonds without
a vote ot the pc >pie in the sum ot
two-thirds of the amount of bonds
retired in the previous year, and a
third-is by levying taxes over a period
of several years to provide fund,.
Those who have given consider,'!
tion to the problem say that the
problem should lie met at the pres
ent time as far as possible. Economic
eonditr ns are improved , nd a tax
rate si111icient to meet the situation
could in met better at this time,
and, while i; would be impossible
to undertake a building program
during the war emergency, accumu
lation of funds could be started, it
is pointed out.
Some calculations that have been
made show that a ten eon's tax levy
for four years would yield pprnxi
mntely $18.(100 annually, nr $72,000
for the period. Issue of new bonds
each year for four years in the
amount equal to two-thirds of debt
service liquidation would provide an
estimated additional $.12,422. Togeth
er. ttie two sources of funds would
aggregate approximately $J 21.000
over a period of four years.
This would provide two small
schools, one on e eh side of the rail
road. it is pointed out. and would
include use of at least the first
story of the present Central school
on Pettigrew street. This would pro
vide only for the building program,
with no allowance whatever for a
new site on the cast side ot tine rail
head. It is estimated that at least
thirty-three rooms woiuu Tie neces
sary to meet present demands.
If nothing is done now to begin
accumulation of funds, only a small
part of the necessary cash would be
available by 194a, and at that time
it is doubted if the public would be
willing to accept increnst d taxation
as now. in the opinion of those who
have studied the problem.
No definite action has been taken
by either the school board or the
county commissioners, although the
commissioners have discussed the
plan of issuing bonds each year in
the amount of two-thirds of the
previous year's liquidati m. as pro
vided by law.
The whole problem is ehedulcri
to receive con.-ideration from both
boards in connection with shaping
tin' new budgets for 19412 tit. and
some decision of one kind or another
is anticipated soon.
