Pase Four THE PILOT. Southeni PtBM tmA Afc«rd«cn, Nwth CtoHm Friday, December, 21, 1934, Southern Pines May Be One of Few Accredited Schools in 1935 Only Seven High Schools in State Have Required Nine- Months* Term The year 1935, three hundredth anniversary of the founding of the first secondary school in America, is likely to find only seven public high schools in North Carolina on the ac credited list of the Southern Asoocia- tion of Secondary Schools. Southern Pines is one of these seven. This is according to a statement made last week by Dr. J. Htnry Highsmith, State supervisor of high schools upon his return from the as sociation's conference in Atlanta. "I am not unmindful of the tragic economic conditions which have exist ed and from which, I trust, we are safely and surely emerging,” said Dr. Highsmith. ‘‘Furthermore, I am not blaming anybody for anything. If the people of this state, including the 67 communities in which Southern asso ciation schools are situated, have done their best, and if they are actually not able to do more in the training of their children, they are, of course, not culpable. "It might be remarked, however, that the receipts from one football game played in North Carolina this fall were sufficient to pay most of the salaries of the 60 Southern asso ciation schools for the extra 15 days. “Unless something can be done to change our present situation, next year North Carolina will have few er schools that are members of the Southern association than any other southern state.” The main handicap to the recogni tion of the Tar Heel schools as stand ard is the matter of length of term. The association requirement is 173 days, but only seven high schools in the state have a nine months term —Southern Pines, Roanoke Rapids, Durham, North Wilkesboro, and a few others. The next requirement lacking in all but the seven schools is the $1,000 annual salary for teachers. Cites Advantages Asked specifically what advantage to a school it would be to be recog nized as standard by the southern as sociation, the high school supervisor said categorically this: “First, recognition by the one great rating agency. Second, all the require ments of the association are conducive to better schools. Third, annual in spection by some member of the state committee. Fourth, graduates of member schools may be admitted without examination to colleges and universities in other areas." Dr. Highsmith said it was a mis take to think that students from the standard eight months high schools in the state would have to take an ex amination to enter colleges in this state, for the college requirements in North Carolina were set up to meet existing conditions. However, he made it plain that, if these students want ed to attend colleges in other states, save a few in Virginia and South Carolina, they would have to take their entrance examinations unless their school appeared on the accred ited list of the southern association.

Wooten was gracious hostess to the Merry-Makers on Tues day evening of last week. The ladies were busily engaged in making small Christmas stockings, to be used by the Presbyterian Auxiliary in pre senting their “joy gift” for minis terial relief on Christmas night.

She visited: the art exhibit at the hotel Sir Wal ter which was sponsored by the North , Carolina Art Society. The largest i part of the exhibit is comprised of oil I paintings from the Grand Central Galleries of New York City, which is an organization operated on a non-1 profit basis solely in the interest of living American painters and sculp- ] tors. This state was fortunate in, having the opportunity of becoming: familiar with the really fine things now being produced by the artists of ■ America. Two pictures from this ex hibit were purchased by William Barstow of Long Island, who spent the night at the Sir Walter on his way to Florida. “October” by Roy Brown was purchased for $1,000.00, and “Silver Sea” by Frederick Waugh for $2,000.00. In the North Carolina Artists’ exhibit the three canvasses by Miss Mary De’B Graves of Chapel Hill, '‘Too MUCll Settin," _ a portrait of Mrs. Cornelia Spencer; and one of Mrs. Ashby Penn were, particularly fine. “Uncle Burgess” by, Miss Mary Tillery of Meredith, £ind the State College Murals by James McLean attracted much attention. I The Nursery School closed Tuesday ' with a lovely Christmas tree loaded with toys and gifts for the w'ee pu* pils. Appropriate Christmas songs; ' were given by the tiny tots. The very , spirit of Christmas was wafted on the air by the sweet faces of these little ones. The faculty of the Nur- sery School wishes to thank the Wo- I man’s Club for its liberal donation I to the tree. Mrs. Julia McDougald, accompan- I ied by her daughter, Mrs. H. D.

Rosser, age 72, died last Sunday morning at his home near Jonesboro, following a stroke of par alysis suffered several weeks ago. Mr. Rosser, who was a widely known farmer, was the son of the late J. J. Rosser and Mary Kelly Rosser, of the section of county later given over to Lee county, and was highly esteemed. He was a member of the Christian church, and was ac tive in church work.

State Votes 12 to 1 for Measure. —Still Time to Ballot on Tobacco PLAN REVIVAL OF HORSE RACING IN THE SANDHILLS {Continued fr&m page 1) penses, for the carrying on of this winter’s meetings and for the build ing of the permanent steeplechase course, residents of the Sandhills are to be asked to subscribe to member ships in the association. There are three classes of membership: (A) A subscription of $100.00 en titles subscriber and family to a box in the grandstand, a parking space, and admission to all events. (B) A subscription of $50.00 en titles subscriber and family to a parking space and admission to all events. (C) A subscription of $25.00 en titles subscriber and family to ad mission to all events, with grand stand seats, during the season ot 1934-35. Subscribers at this time will be considered as charter members. It is the hope of the association that subscriptions made at this time for the purpose of inaugurating racing in the section may be returned, in whole or in part, to the subscribers from surplus funds accruing from the successful operation of the va rious race meetings in the future. At an early date the subscribers, or members, will meet to elect per manent officers, directors, and offi cials. At that time it is probable that action will be taken looking to the incorporation of the association as an non-profit corporation under the laws of North Carolina.

WE AIM TO PLEASE Returns on the Bankhead act on which cotton farmers over the South voted last week indicate that the act is popular by a vote of about 10 to 1 for continuing the provisions re stricting the growing of cotton. In dications were that Oklahoma, Cali fornia and Kentucky had the strong est sentiment against it ,but it car ried in every cotton-growing state by a wide margin. North Carolina’s vote was about 12 to 1, this state casting 117,080 for and 9,528 against retaining the act, incomplete returns showed. In strong Republican counties, generally, the opposition vote was heaviest, the one exception being Stanly County, which is Democratic but which voted again the act, 1,022 to 579. Moore county, on these returns, showed 563 for and 30 against it. Some who did not get to vote on the Cotton and Tobacco bills will be glad to learn that they will still have a chance to vote on the tobacco bill, E. H. Gar rison, Jr., county Agent, announces. So far the cotton is con cerned, that is over. In the case of tobacco, if the producer or the ten ant fails to show up to vote, these ballots will be mailed to them for their signatures. This will be held open for about ten day.s after the election is held.

In case tobacco was grown on the land during the bape years 1931,1932 or 1933 the farm will be eligible for a contract and an opportunity will be given parties in this class to sign this up. This we hope will be done some time in Jan uary. In case of parties who have not grown tobacco before, all we know at the present time is that these par ties will be given an opportunity to make application for an allotment, just as did some of the others this year. We do not know how mucli parties in this class will get but we will know before planting time.” GREASED FIG CHASE AND CORNSTALK POLO TODAY have missed someone who has grown tobacco this year and if so, please make application to my office for a ballot,” Mr. Garrison asks. “In a few cases the producer’s master sheet was sent out so we had no way of know ing who the tenants were.
