CHAK313 JTAME OF I
CULLOWHEE SCHOOL I
)' Cullowhee, Mar. 2i.v?Tweniy year.*
ngfi in 1905, the instiUion which jtia?i
boon founded by Pro lessor * li. L
Madison, and for fifteen years ha i
been known as Cullowhee High School
was, by legislative enactment, given
Uit' name of Cullowhee Normal?? and
Industrial School. This was in line
; with the earlier names Riven most oi
our institutions. North Carolina Col
lope for Women, at Greensboro, was
lur .1 long time known as the Normal
'and Industrial Sehool, while Wake
Forest College was first called Wake
Forest Manual Training and Indus
trial Institute. Rut, with the change
ot time, conies the change, not to say
evolution, of education institutions.
Cullowhee has, in recent years, been
devoting itself more and more to the
training of teachers, and has never
iiod any strictly "industrial/' train
ing. Thus its name ha sbeert a f&is
nomer; and it was altogether fitting
that the recent legislature should
Rive the institution a title in keep
' ing with the work it is now doing.
Th<? Cullowhee Normal and Indust
rial School is no more, but in its
stead v ehavc the Cullowhee State
Normal School.

The Oldsmohila was left in t'r?ni~

while he was attending the debate,
and it is presumed that, some iioys
took it for a--joy-ride, expecting' to

Marketing poultry and eggs in car
lots outside the State is assuming
l uge pruiKM'tions in the Division.
This movement was started in 1924
as cariot shipments of live ]?oultry
and this spring car!cl shipments of
eggs have been added. According to.
V. W. I -c%vis, livestock marketing
specialist, the greatest obstacle in the
way, is lack of organization on <he
part of the farmer.
Cariot shipments will be made
from the following points during this
week: Clinton, in Sampson County;
Warsaw, in Duplin County; and
Goidsboro, in Wayne County. The
average prices will be 23 1-2 for hen 5;
12c. for roosters; and 27 1-2 c. for
eggs. ' t '
It would be wisdom 011 the part of
the merchants, states AD. Ross, to
encourage cariot marketing wliich
would net mere profit from poult i\
and e?;-?s than when handled in small
)? J < y
lots, and would enable the farme* to
have more money to spend on shoes,
clothing and other articles.

Mid tlicr words of praise of the prac

.i,lh'.re has been a wonderful iiu
.? \\\ eat in the teaching force in
. k." n Comity. In 1920-21* there
viv 18 jteuche ?s who held certificates
? war than tiie. state st mhird or clem,
i}. This was exactly one half of the
teachers: Only three teachers he'd
r^rtifieites that Showed graduation

LOichcrR. This year we have 48 who
!,ov. the)' hold certificate^ oi gradn
'"on fr&m standard normal schools
;* college. A good deal of criticism
been given to us because of em
ploying out side teachers or non
r itives of the county. Of the 112
tr.-chcrs employed in Jackson Coun
r,- this vear there are 23 reside out
,-de of the state. Of the 23 all were
? n'mal school or college graduates
with' the exception of four teachers.
2hese lour had from one to > two
ears in college and or two ?^,
them would not have been employed
? :e^vit there was a misunderstanding^
1o -their rating. Outside of Jaca
?I'- eciuity hut natives of the state
ore ar?- 1"* tciieliers."Some have bc
i;;a citizens bccau.-e of marriago
,id moved into the connty.Those em
Voyr d outside but natives o?*. the
^ate hold high class certificates. In
ddition to the improvement of- tho
caching force an appropriationi waa
secured that gives the teachers of
he county the benifit of a capable
upervisor, 'without cost to the coun
ty. This has been a wamtarftil-kelp
n the organization of the schools,
ind means more than aay ene itfcing
hat has been done for the past iwo
care in the way of bettering
teaching in the county.
"All in all I think the Board ot
Education has just ic-ason to bo
>roud of the record it has made and
;an feel that it has done a preat
leal toward the progress of education
n the county. With the means avail
able they have set a pace-that any
hoard will do well to follow.
