Purks Discusses
White House Meet
J. Harris Turks addressed the
Chapel Hill Parent-Teachers
Association last Thursday on the
subject of the White House Con
ference on Education held in
Washington from Novenibei ,28
to December 1. Mr. Purks was
an official delegate to the con
ference from North Carolina.
Mr Purks, who is acting presi
dent of the Consolidated l ni
versity and who will become
director of the Stale Boaid of
Higher Education on March 1,
prefaced his remarks with back
ground on former conferences
on children and youth held in
Washington. He also disci ■i.
the preliminary North Carolina
White House Conference- oil
Education held from Septembei
21 to October 13.
I Prom the preliminary confer
ences, he said, came an im
pressive brochure containing-the
questions to be presented to the
national group in, Washington.
The brochure also contained
charts and graphs comparing
{education in North Carolina to
that in other states.
Mr. Purks said the questions
under consideration were: (1)
What should our schools accomp
lish'.’ (2) In what ways can we
! organize our school system more
!efficiently and economically ?
j(3) What, are out school build
ing needs .' CD How can we ggt
j enough good teachers, and keep
j them ? <s> How can we finance
our school; —build and iterate
them? (6) How can we obtain
a continuing public interest in
education ?
The conference, according to
Mi. Purks, was organized into
1 iib groups of II persons each
a tota' of 1,800 people to dis
cuss the above questions. The
final report, he said, was a most
complicated distillation of the
conclusions reached in the dis
cussion groups.
Mi. Purks said he felt the
validity of this process was open
to question, since it seemed to
result in'a lifting out of adverse
run i ni of the educational ->s
llem as it now exists.
f ii in tai e, he pointed out,
'there was a noticeable interest
in a revival of emphasis on the
•‘three R's" which did not get
recorded a> such, except, m the
North Carolina preliminary rc
|*o| t.
j Howcyci, Mi Pink- said, ihe
! -onfi rence did offer an'effective
opportunity fqi an exchange of
ideas from all-over the country
and promoted a better under
standing of the -problems eon-:
fronting the entire American
educational system.
At a "business session follow
ing Mr., Purks’ address, the
n.cinbei ship of the PI A approved
the expenditure of up to ssltll
on 9 a publicity campaign for the
forthcoming school bond refer
endum. It was announced that

Ridgefield Issue
Or Tap Tonight
Whether or not the un
developed 36-acre Ridgefield
tract will be annexed by the
town before five other resi
dential areas also being con
sidered for annexation is ex
pected, to be decided by the
Board of Aldermen tonight.
Last week, the board re
fused to take requested ac
tion On the proposal in the
absence of Mayor Oliver K.
Cornwell. However, the
board agreed to adjourn and
meet tonight to take up the
issue again.
Several aldermen have ex
pressed unfavorable com
ment on the proposal. Aider
man Paul Wager opposed
taking action last week on
grounds that it would be
inadvisable and unnecessary
for. the town to take in un
developed-areas at this time.
He also objected on grounds
that it would be forcing the
1 niversity. contrary' to its
policy, to furnish water to
areas from, the
; town.
William S. Stewart,
spokesman . for the owners
jot the prbpeprty, contended,
{however, that it would not
{be against the University’s
-policy since it has been ser
vicing residents of the town
regardless of whether or not
they live in an annexed area.
The board is presently con
sidering the annexation, in
{one action, of the Ridgefield
{tract, in addition to the
Greenwood, (lien Lennox,
i Oak wood Drive, Rogerson
Drive and Country Club-
Laurel Hill Road areas.
; However, owners of the
j Ridgefield tract argue that
laction on their request
should be.taken immediately
since it has been before tin
board longer than the pro-:
posed annexation of the oth
er areas, and a public hear-!
ing has already been held on!
the proposal.
