During the Methodist Conference year 1958-59. one of the outstanding recommendations was the division of the large charges in the various districts of North Carolina. At ffiat fTme~ the Warren Charge in the Raleigh District consisted of four churches. Prospect. Providence. Shady Grove and Bethlehem, and was considered one of the charges which should be divided.

He quoted the superintendent of Mecklenburg County. Va? schools as saying that had been the experience of that county. Peeler also said that the consolidation of the three white high schools of the county should not only strengthen the schools, but experience has shown that discipline is better in the larger schools, that the curricula is broader, that teachers can teach in their field and that they are able to attract and hold better teachers. In addition, in the larger schools principals are not required to teach, there is opportunity for more clerical help, an opportunity to reduce the teaching load in English, which Is badly needed. The larger schools are able to have a badly needed librarian and a guidance teacher, a full-time physical education teacher, and a full-time band instructor. Mrs. A J.

The board members considered policies pertaining to overnight school trips, outside funJs drives, admission prices i to school students for school^ plays during school hours, and i other extra-curricula activities in the schools at a special' meeting here Tuesday night. ! Also up for discussion, with j no action taken, was the pos-i sibility of confining basket-i ball games, band concerts and j other activities to nights other'; than school nights. The board, while expressing dissatisfaction with some ofj the school activities, passed no; order forbidding their con-i tinuance. Instead it adopted) a statement of policies to be| presented to school principals and school committees. This) statement is as follows: 1.

Charles Hobgood was appointed as a member of the Afton school board, replacing Thomas Pinnell.

Takes Dim might Trips students will be permitted to take trips which will require ' them to be away from home overnight. However, the Board urges the school to consider the following things in connection with school trips: a Limit the trips to three school days. b. Secure a qualified substitute for the teacher who is sponsoring the trip, provided said teacher has students left at school to teach. c. Do not permit students to use school time to raise funds for trip. 2. The Board of Education strongly recommends that out- .3 side fund raising campaigns in *jj the schools be eliminated. 3. The Board of Education strongly recommends that the school hold to a minimum programs held during the school day for which students are required to pay an admission price. 4.
