ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXV New System For High Schools For County Is OutlinedatConference Six High School Plants at Strategic Points Will Be J Built Under the Plan as l Outlined Here. * HOPE TO START l WORK THIS YEAR | A. T. Allen, State Superb- l tendent of Public In* \ struction, Was Present ) For the Conference. \ a A system of high schools, situated 3 at strategic points throughout the 3 county, will be built in the near fu- j ture as the result of the conference , heled here Tuesday by the county .board of education and school com- 5 mltteomen from all parts of the coun ty.' A. T. Allen, State Superintendent < of Public Instruction, attended the conference, speaking briefly on the growth of education in this State and the United States and pointing out t the need of standardiaation work ev- , erywhere. < The State law requires that before 1 a system of high schools shall be | erected in a county the county board , of education must outline its plan to school committeemen and if the plan > is approved, the work can be started. ] Prof. J. B. Hobertson, county school | superintendent, explained the law at i the meeting and then outlined to the , committeemen the proposed high 1 school units for the county. j Prof. Itobertson explained that stan- t dard high school plants would be 1 erected at the following places under!' the proposed plan of the board: 1. In No. 10 township at a point ! on &ic road leading from Charlotte to ‘ Albemarle. 2 At point near Harrisburg. I 3 In No. 3 township near forks of road at home of Dr. Gouger. 4. At point near Mt. Pleasant. 1 5. At Kannapolis. 0. At Winecoff. The present plan of organisation calls for large school grounds gt each I plant, with modern brick buildings 1 apd modern equipment. Special es- 1 fort will be made to see that each ; building has a large auditorium. All high school work of the respective ! district will be centralised at these high school centers together with one 1 or two grammar grades at some of them. Prof. Robertson explained. It was further explained by Supt. Robertson that the plan provides not only for standard high schools but high schools of that size and organi zation that will provide for a general course of study to include domestic 1 science, agriculture, music and such other courses as may be needed. A number of committeemen gave their hearty approval to the general plan as outlined to them, saying in their opinion tha* Such a system is needed and needed at once. The board members assured the committee men that they proposed to build the units as soon as practical, and with J 1 such regularity as will be possible with the money at band. In this connection hope was express ed by the board that at least three of the plants can be erected within the next 12 months, and these three, with the schools already located at Kan napolis and Winecoff, will take care of the county until the others can be erected. The Winecoff School, it was ex plained at the meeting, will be contin ued as a high school unit. The pres ent building will be replaced later by a modem, brick structure. Os course, the high school at Kannapolis, will continue as a standard school. It was explained at the meeting that all grammar school buildings will be utilized for the present, but it is thought that ns a matter of conse quence that as soon as the high school units are established there will be done so work toward consolidating all of the elementary schools. Busses will not be used in the high schools until enough of the plants are In operation to warrant a systematic schedule that will offer ser p vice to every high school student who lives beyond walking distance to one of the schools. No local taxes will be necessary to operate the schools for eight months each year. It was explained at the meeting. The State law provides that the county board of education shall have the right to levy such taxes as are needed and the local board feels that plans no be carried out with funds from the regular tax levy. An increase in the school tax becomes ef fective in this county when the 1925 taxee are paid, and this increase will likely take care of the needs for the present. The law provides that high schools must operate at least eight months each year If they are to receive stand ard grades, and all of the proposed schools of the county will have eight months terms at least, and it is hoped that away can be found by whlcp the terms can be extended to nine months. This poipt will be worked out later, under the present plans of the boarjl. The definite location of the high school buildings will be left with the board of education. The board mem ■ bees plan, however, to confer with the f committeemen and study local condi tions in arriving at a decision at to the sites. About 100 committeemen were pree (Continued on Page Bight).

New York, Aug. 10. —<A>) —The cot ton market opened barely steady to day at a decline of 2 to <1 points on overnight reports of an easing spot basis in some of the eastern belt mar kets, and exiKctations of fairly fav orable weekly review.

Linker Will Erect Factory at Site of the Old Yorke Furniture Factory—Work to Begin on Struc ture in the Near Future. A modern furitnure factory is to be erected in Concord at once, the site of the old Yorke Furniture Fac tory having been secured for the pro ject. Announcement of a decision to build the factory was made this morn ing by W. M. Linker, one of Con cord’s most successful business men. who hopes to have the plant in op eration by .Tahuary Ist. Mr. Linker has been at work on plans for the factory for some time and he lias made such progress on them that he is now in position to make them pub lic. Porch chairs, kitchen tables, library tables and plain chairs will be manu factured at the factory, Mr. Linker announced, the output to increase as business increases. The maximum weekly capacity of the plant at first will be 1.800 chairs, 50Q porch chairs, 250 kitchen tables and, 200 library tables. Mr. Linker purchased the property for his factory from W. W. Flowe and associates and the site includes between 10 and 12 acres.

Collier, New York advertising man, citizens of Immokalee will present Governor Martin with a petition de manding that the officers be ousted. 1 The governor will be asked to call a special election to replace Sheriff Maynard. The citizens claim that due to Col . lier’s influence over the officers, that . the affairs of the county are conduct | ed with Collier’s interests paramount . to the public interests. • A concrete example of this is being pointed out by the citizens in the line I of the new county rood from Immo i kwlee to Everglade.

Dr. McCain further stated that the patients who will be discharged from hospitals will not be a menace to fam ilies or inmates of institutions to which they will go. “Patients who fcave been in a well run sanatorium even for a few weeks have learned not only what precautions to take, but have practiced these necessary pre cautions until they do so automatical ly." Co., and tins fact will facilitate the securing of materials for the factory and will eliminate the necessity for building a connecting link from the factor to the Southern’s lines. The track was laid a number of years ago and is in excellent condition.

My equipment will include machinery not found in all furniture factories of this state for I liitencT to take rough logs and carry them through to finished products. Many factories purchase their lumber and only finish it. I feel that better re sults can be obtained and better serv ice offered if we buy our logs and treat them to suit our needs.” Between forty and fifty employees will be needed to operate the factory wtien it is first started Mr. Linker stated, and already he has secured (Continued on Page Eight) PRESIDENT PLEASED WITH PRESENT TRIP Having Such a Good Time in Vermont That He Postpones Return to White Court.

The agreement, subject to ratifica tion by the American Congress and the Belgian government, was described as recognizing by the United States “a weighty moral obligation” as a re sult of assurances given the little kingdom by President Wilson at the time of the Versailles peace confer ence, and also the of Belgium to particult treatment by this nation, to particular treatment by this na tion. The terms call for complete pay ment within 02 years. Studying Arrangement.

London Silent. London, Aug. 19.—(A I )—Official cir cles here were silent today regarding the settlement reached in Washington for funding Belgium's debt to United States. The impression was given, however, that the favorable nature of terms was to be expected, and that unless close study revealed new angles at present unknown, the British government will not depart from the previous policy of refraining from pressing Belgium' in connection with financial obligations to this country.
