Teachers Hold Last
Meet of School Year
(Continued from the first page)
and booster speeches. The two-stories
told by Oak City pupils was very
good. Songs rendered by the homo
~ economics class of the Robersonville
soiool met with much approval from
the large numbr of teachers and com
mitteemen present. There are 75 pu
pils in that school registered in the
class, and reports on its progress are
very encouraging. Professor Overby's
vocational-agriculture class offered a
demonstration on the use of the
rquare. The professor told the meet
ing what to expect, and Messrs. Jim
mie Brown and Ralph Davenport per
formed, showing how to make step
stringers ' and figure the pitch of a
roof. Miss Annie Harper's health
poster project? were, in some way,
left from the program.
The discussion of school problems
By the various committeemen present
offered a new feature in the routine
cl the teachers' meetings.
Representative J. A. Everett stated
that should there be any more bonds
issued, they should be for the pur
pose of building better buildings. He
stated that he would not favor the is
suing of bonds for any other purpose,!
All the schools of the county were
praised by Mr. Everett, and lie is very
Uglily pleased with the progress made, j
Mr. £>. C. Matthews; of Hamilton,
stated he was pleased with the prog
ress made in his town's school, but
at the saijje time it seemed necessary
that the compulsory attendance law
be enforced in many cases. Mr. Eli
Fdmondson, of Hassell, after hearing
Sh Matthews, talked along the line
of compulsory attendance. He siuted
that he favored a part-tim •, if not a
full-time welfare officer, to attend to
such matters, and that it wasn't the
duty of the teachers to see to such
Matters. In fact, Mr. Edmondson
stated, the teachers had enough to con
tend with without adding or expecting
them to go out and see that the chil
e'en attend school. Mr. J. M. Oakley,
committeeman of the Whitley school,
stated his greatest problem came
when he. tried to get the children of
his district to attend school.
Mayor Cox, of Robersonvill ■>, and
Mr. K. O. Martin, of, Jamesville,. turn
ed their discussions, to athletics and
offered many suggestions in the way
of bringing better,..cooperation in the
line of sporis. Several other commit
teemen made short talks tpproviug
the work of their schools.
The leaders of the various groups in '
the reading circle brought the series I
of meetings to a close when papers
were assigned covering the work of
ihe year. The meeting was the last
on the scheduled lust.
