It may be that every om la not
familiar with the term* uwd in talk
ing about achoola. What la maant by
the accredited Hat la that whan a
achool meet* certain condltiona laid
down by the higher authorttlaa than
graduate* from the achool can enter
any collate in the atate without atand
inc entrance examination*.
The development of High School*
la tntereating. It la only within re
cent year* that the High School haa
been with ua. Not ao ton* a|» achoola
that prepared for college ware here
and there about the country and ware
known aa arademie*. Oak Kidge ww
for many year* thl* kind of a achool.
Boanville in Yadkin County and Mo
ravian Fall* In Wilkee County, ware
well known aeademia*. With the de
velopment of the achool ayitem In the
■tate the Iliirh School became a part
of the *tate ayatem and now tbeae
achoola are to he found in many pro
rre»*ivr c-oramunltiea of the rural aac
tion* a* well aa in all town* of any
alia.
For 20 or more year* Mount Airy
haa had a High School from which
■tudenta went to collage. Viva year*
ago. if we recall the facta correctly,
Mount Airy wan the only High School
in the county on the accredited I let,
but in recent year* the following
place* have developed their nchoola
until they too are now in the accredit
ed Hat:— Elkln, Dobnon, Pilot Moun
tain, Mountain Park, Copelaad. White
Plain*.
Flat Rock and Stcwarta Creak will
uach haw a High School naxt year,
making a total of eight in tha county.
The interesting thing about all this
la that It is wall known that a com
munity where there la a good school
will attract desirable citlaena and
make good citlaen* out of ordinary
people sometimes. It is noticeable in
>>ld nettled section* that where there
has been a good school for muny
years the farms are wall developed,
tha houses are larger, the bams and:
out-buildings more commodious.
In past years It was a heavy coat
t<> thcje families that tried to edu
cate their children beyond the prim
ary grades, for to do this meant that
the expense of boarding away from
home must be met, tuition, and many '
other items of expense connected
with a boarding school. With the
coming to the county of so many
High Schools a great host of our
people are now able to prepare their
children for college, or for life, and
have them at home during the years
of their educational training. The ex
peuw will be only a minimum 6f the
cost of former years Naturally a
greater number of the young people
will avail themselves of the oppor
tunity to attend these aehools and
will, moat of them, reap rich rewarda
that will be only in proportion to their
efforts to do their duty. It all meana
a brighter day for this section of the
country.
> It should not be overlooked that
Just what la taking place here in ear
own county la the rule in almost
•eery nook aad corner of the whole
state and also la other states. It la

far u any dm can mo bat bttlo has

the issue are (jeietly going about get
Ung every om regia tared who wftl
■toy away from the polk once they
have registered. Tbey «eem to be
nurceeding.
In this election as in every election
where money is involved some are
opposing on the basis of high taxes.
They contend that there must be t
limit to the amount of taxes that the
people can pay and that we have
evidently reached or are nearing the
limit.
One charge that the voters reaent
Is that they are "against" good
achools. Those favoring the bond*
and Increased toxea place emphasis
on the fact that thoee who oppose are
"against" achools and acbonl improve
ment. The Mount Airy Neers has
been publtahed under the present
management for about a quarter of a
century, and in all this time we have
never known the citiaens of tbia
town to be "against" any progressive
measure. We have known many a
spirited light here when to atand for
the progressive measure waa to make
real sacrifice, but we have never
known our people to ahow a non-pro
gressive apirit. They are not doiiy
this now. To charge them with such
11 unfair. The real iasue is the man
age men t of the achools.
There is not the slightest doubt
about the fact that the election would
be favorable to every measure the
Hoard asks for only for the opposi
tion to the preaent Superintendent.
It ia but fair to the School Board
to aay that they think the present
Superintendent ha* made the beet
school here that We have ever had.
They aoe in him a competent man who
Hoe* his duty without fear or favor
and cares nothing for popularity if
it runa counter to hia duty to the
public.
White Plain. High Shool Now

The Whit* Plain* High School has
attained w> that degree of efficiency
that it has recently been placed on
the State Accredited List of High
School*. Thl* mean* that the achool
now will he able to graduate pupils
who can enter any collere in the itate
without examination. Under the man
airement of Prof. 1. 0. Hau»cr thia
itchool ha* taken rank a* one of the
moat efficient institution* in the coun

The community la proud of the achool;
and justly so. It I* a force for up

has created pride and made the sec

able place to own a home. Now that
the school Is on the accredited list of

smoother sailing in the future and bf
worth more. If possible, to the eon-1
