Figures Show Cost of Instruc
tion In Johnston County To
Be Lower in Eight Month
School Than In the Six
Month Schools
The auditors who are at work
on the books of the county superin
tendent of schools preparatory to
the issuing of the annual report,
have compiled some interesting
figures with reference to the cost
of instruction in the white schools
in Johnston county which are in
cluded in the county system. The
figures are based on the salaries
of teachers, and the average daily
attendance of the pupils.
The total enrollment for the
past year in the Johnston county
white schools, elementary and high
school, not including Benson, which
operates under a special charter,
is 13,201 pupils. Of this number
3,141 are in the six-month schools,
and 1U,U6U are in the eight and
nine month-schools. The average j
cost of instruction in the six- |
month schools, which are elemen- |
tary schools, is $3.52 per pupil per
month. In the eight month elemen- i
tary schools the cost is only .$3.23 !
^ per pupil per month. In the nine- j
month elementary schools the cost !
is $3.60. The salaries of the teach
ers in the eight and nine-month i
schools will average fifteen or
twenty dollars more per month on j
account of the high grade certifi- :
cates of the teachers, yet in spite !
of this the cost in the six-month \
schools is higher than in the eight
month schools.
Among the thirty-five six-month j
schools Poplar Springs has the I
lowest cost per pupil per month, j
the amount being $2.31, while Oak ,
Grove has the highest cost, $5.86.
Of the eight-month elementary
schools, of which there are 20, Live j
Oak operates at the least cost of
$2.50 per pupil, while Royal (Ele- |
vation) operates at the highest
cost of $5.20.
The average cost of instruction
per pupil in the eight-month high
schools is $8.84, while in the nine- I
month high schools it is $9.47. :
A tabulation of each school in
the county may be found on an
other page of this issue, a careful
study of which will be convinc-!
ing that a large number of pupils |
can be taught with less expense i
than a small number.

Birth Anniversary
Rev. Robt. Strickland Is Hon
ored With Family Reunion
at Old Home Place in Ben
tonville
--4
Today, June 22, is the eighty
second birthday of one of John
ston county’s oldest and best citi
zens, Rev. Robert Strickland, of
Bentonville township. Thursday of
last week his sons and daughters
and grandchildren met at the old
homeplace in Bentonville and did
honor to him and his good wife
with a family reunion. The time
was moved up ahead of the real
anniversary in order that more of
his children could be present, and
the occasion will linger in the mem
ory of those who were privileged
to attend.
This fine old couple has reared .
a remarkable family. Seven sons
and three daughters rise up to
call them blessed. Of this number
three are preachers, and every one
of them without a single exception
is interested in religious work. A
granddaughter is contemplating
going to foreign lands as a mis- '
sionary. The father himself has !
for forty years been a Freewill
Baptist preacher and has held a j
large number of revivals during j
his ministry and he has been in- i
strumental in building a number j
of churches. Before the Civil War ^
closed, he answered the call of the j
Confederacy and saw active serv
ice as a soldier for about two
years. He is now serving the coun
ty as a member of the pension
For fifty-nine years this inter
esting couple have labored togeth
er to make a home for their chil
dren. In 1'JIO, they celebrated their
golden wedding. They live on the
same plantation on which they be
gan their married life, though the
original house has not been used
for some years as a dwelling, a
new residence having been built.
The reunion last week was at
tended by seventy-five or more,
there being about forty grand
children present besides the sons
and daughters and a few friends
and neighbors. At the noon hour a
sumptuous dinner was spread un
der a stately oak tree in the yard,
and after all had feasted on the
good things to eat, a feast of a
different nature was enjoyed. Rev.
D. H. Tuttle, of Smithfield, was a
guest on this occasion, and had
been invited to preach a sermon.
He talked from the text: “Even so,
come quickly, Lord Jesus.” The
subject of his sermon might be
termed “The Heavenly Reunion.”
After the sermon, a testimony ser
vice was engaged in, many of the
members of the family taking part.
The sons and daughters present
on this occasion were: M. B.
Strickland, of Smithfield; G. B.
Strickland, of Pine Level; Rev.
Chas. B. Strickland, of Falcon; J.
R StrirklnnH nf T.nko P.itv. St C •
C. S. Upchurch, Mrs. R. H. Allen,
and Mrs. C. M. Upchurch, of Four

Convention at Fayetteville
—Benson Club Represented
Seventeen members of the Smith
field Business and Professional
Woman's club were in attendance
upon sessions of the State Con
vention which met in Fayetteville
last Friday and Saturday. Five
regularly elected delegates were |
there for the two days, other at- i
tending only a part of that time.
The Smithfield delegation is |
indebted to the Young Motor com- j
pany for sending a part of the j
crowd to Fayetteville, and also to j
a number of business firms for fav
ors which were taken as advertise
ments from this city. The Hillside
Pottery company, just outside of
town donated seventy-five pieces of
field club for the Emblem lunch
eon on Saturday.
The hospitality of the Fayette
ville people was all that could 'be
desired. On Friday afternoon, a
trip to Fort Bragg was arranged,
and maneuvers by the lGth Field
Artillery and by four of the army
airplanes were much enjoyed. Mr.
Walter P. Zimmerman, chaplain of
the post, conducted the tour over
Fort Bragg showing the $300,000
barracks just about completed, and
which is one of three such build
ings under construction. Perma
nent homes for the officers are be
ing built of hollow tile and stucco.
At the conclusion of the tour, the
party was served with cold drinks
at one of the exchanges.
Another courtesy of the Fayette
ville club was a picnic supper at
Winterlaken Inn, formerly the Don
aldson Military Academy. Before
the hundred or more guests start
ed to Fort Bragg, they were pre
sented with a sun hat, which was
much appreciated before the trip
was over.

resented put on competitive stunts
based on the work of the standing
committees of the organization.

legislature in 1938 composed en
tirely of women, and which pass
ed legislation now being sponsor
ed by the Legislative Council of
Women, of which the B. & P. W.
Federation is a part. The Austral
ian ballot, the survey of women in
industry, and publishing the mar
riage bans were among the laws
made. Both of these clubs received
honorable mention by the judges,
though Raleigh’s stunt was declar
ed the best.
vention was the banquet Saturday
evening1 at the Prince Charles Ho
tel at which Miss. Phillips, lawyer
of New York City, and president
of the National Federation, made I
the principal speech.
Mrs. Clyde V. Price, welfare su

Smithfield Citizens Must
Show More Interest Before
Plant Will Be Located Here
-+
At an adjourned meeting of the
stockholders of the Mechanical
Painting Machine company which
was held at nine o’clock in the
courthouse last Tuesday night it
was decided to hold another meet
ing next Tuesday night for the
purpose of soliciting further sub
scriptions, the present list of sub
scriptions from Smithfield being
inadequate to assure the location
of the home office and assembling
plant here.
The following constitute the
present list of stockholders: J. D.
Underwood, H. N. Morgan, Dr. W.
J. B. Orr, L. G. Johnson, W. M.

ble, and Jas. H. Kirkman, of
Smithfield; E. L. Thompson , of
Greenville; J. C. Hood, of Kinston;
and D. H. Hood, of Dunn.
It was learned at this meeting
that quite a good deal more stock
in the corporation had been secur
ed voluntarily out of town than
here in Smithfield where it is hoped
the home office and assembling
plant will be located. However, a
few more shares secured here will
insure the plant being located in
Smithfield as Mr. Thompson of
Greenville, who has undertaken to
put over the enterprise and who is
putting his faith and money into
it, has made this agreement: “For
every share taken in Smithfield
Mr. Thompson agrees to take one,
and if enough is taken here h«
agrees to locate the home office
and assembling plant here.”
Smithfield has been wanting en
terprises and it now has the op
portunity to get behind what prom
ises to be a good thing. The fact
that the inventor of this machine
is a Smithfield citizen should be an
incentive for the town to make it
go. The shares have been fixed at
fifty dollars each, a sum small
enough that a large number may
A CORRECTION.

account of the death of Mr. Pink
Rose which appeared in our last

in Goldsboro. This is said to be a
mistake. He was taken to the
Goldsboro hospital by Raymond
Rose, and a colored man by the
name of Sam Altman.
