Raleigh, August 19.—The total
of paying the public school instruc
tion bill for 1927-28 increased only
4.4 per cent over the cost fog 1926-27
according to the current issue of
State School Facts, official publica
tion of the State Department of Pub
lic Instruction and this increase, the
publication states, is due largely to
an increase in the average length of
school term throughout the state and
improvement in the training of the
teaching personnel.
The total cost of “instructional ser
vice,” which is made up largely of
the salaries paid teachers, principals
and supervisors, and small amounts
for instructional supplies, was $20.-
523,734.12 in 1927-28 anl $19,662,-
734.69 in 1926-27. Thus, by simple
subtraction an increase of $860,-
999.43, ay 4.4 per cent, is shown for
the one-year period. Rural instruc
tional costs increased approximately
$525,000 or 4.2 per cent, over the
1926-27 costs; and city schools in
creased approximately $335,000, or
4.6 per cent.
Of the total amount expended dur
ing 1927-28 for instructional sendee,
$17,421,779.64 went toward the edu
cation of the white youth of the state
and $3,101,.&54.48 for the education of
the colored children.
Sixty-three per cent of the total
went to instruct the 633,726 rural
boys and girls enrolled in the public
schools, and the remaining amount of
$7,636,053.78 represented the cost of
educating the 215,052 city school chil
dren for one year.
The Red Springs school board had
a special meeting last Tuesday- night.
The most important business of the
meeting was the election, on motion
of Dr. R. D. McMillan, of Mr. Hiram
Grantham to membership on the
board to fill the vacancy caused by
Mr. D. M. McMillan’s declining to
Serve, when elected sometime ago.

Mr. A. M. Breece left August
in company with his nephew,
Ernest Branch of Raleigh and
Raleigh, August 19.—On a per pu
pil basis, according to State School
Facts, the average instructional ser-
I vice cost for 1927-28 in the white
schools is $29.69, and in colored
schools it is $11.84. TN average an
nual per pupil cost of instructional
service for the .rural white schools cl
the state is $25.15. whereas in the
city white schools the corresponding
cost is $43.04.
“The highest instructional costs,”
the publication continues, “are in the
largest cities, $53.40 per pupil. The
costs in city groups 2 and 3 are very
close together, $40.95 and $39.50 per
p-bil in each respective group. Rural
white instructional costs, vary from
county to county—from $42.44, theh
j highest in Northamption county to
1 $15.40 in Cherokee.”
[ Several reasons are advanced by
School Facts for the difference in
instructional costs throughout the
several administrative subdivisons of
the state. The publication lists and
discusses the following four factors
as directly affecting these costs: (1)
number of pupils per teacher em
ployed, (2) cost per teacher and prin
cipal emploved, (3) training of teach
ers and principals, and (4) length of
school term.
The summary of this discussion is
as follows:
“It would seem from the facts
presented, that the number of pupils
"er teacher or principal, the amount
spent per teacher or principal, the
training of the teachers and princi
pals, and the length of school term,
each affects the per punil cost of in
structional service. It would seem also
that the last three factors act in con
junction, that is, well trained teach
ers secure higher /salaries as well as
positions in schools having longer
terms, and vice versa the teachers
having less training are paid less as
well as for a shorter period—shorter-
term schools.

A very attractive offer came to
Rev. A. J. Hobbs, Jr., pastor of the
Methodist church here, sometime ago,
and after long and careful considera
tion, he has done what very few
people would have done. When Dr.
J W. Mohn recently resigned as
president of Louisburg College, a
junior college for girls belonging to
the Methodist church, and the only
institution or its kind in the Eastern.
North Carolina Conference, the board
of trustees began to look about for
a worthy successor for this progres
sive institution. Rev. Mr. Hobbs’
name was mentioned and recommend
ed by President Mohn, who imme
diately wrote Mr. Hobbs, asking if
he- would accept the position.
Being recommended by the resign
ing president meant virtually the
election to the place, and it awaited
only the acceptance by Mr. Hobbs,
who last Tuesday wired Mr. Mohn
to the effect that he would not accept
the offer.
Louisburg College has made great
progress in the last five years. Mr.
R. H. Wright, a capitalist, of Dur
ham, who died sometime ago, recent
ly gave this institution $150,000, and
an additional conditional gift of
$100,000. These latter gifts raised
the amount that he gave to the col
lege in the last five years to $330;-
000. The assets of the institution’
have increased from $123,000 five
years ago to ever $880,000 at the
present time. There were 101 stud
ents enrolled in the 1922-23 term, and
this number has increased to 300 in
the 1927-28 term. It can be seen
from this that Louisburg College is
a growing institution and worthy of
swell a man as Mr. Hobbs. "And
when it is considered that the salary
of the president of this college is
$5,000 a year, it will be hard for most
people to understand why he turned
it down.
Although Mr. Hobbs is highly
interested in the work of Christian
Education he believes that his path
of duty lies, in his work as a pastor.
He said in explaining his refusal
of this offer, “My only reason for
refusing is I don’t feel that I should
