BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETS The oounty Board of Education met in regular session last Monday, and attended to the following mat ters of business: The question of transporting the school children from the eastern sec tion of the Cedar Mountain school district was presented to the Board' and carefully considered. It was found from investigation that all of the children in that section I except three live within easy walking dis tance pt Cedar Mountain school. The Boaid decided, therefore, that it would be unadvisable to employ transportation for that district. An architect was employted to pre pare specifications for installing a proficient heating plant in the old graded school buildings of Brevard school. Bids will be recoived and contract for this heating plant let at a called meeting of the Board next Monday, August 11 thy ? A petition was filed with the Board from citizens of Balsam Grove school district asking that n school truck be placed in that dis trict to transport the children to school. The Board decided that it would be practically , impossible to transport children over the roads of that community and that since but few. live more than two and a half miles from the school house, practi cally all of the children can attend regularly without the added ? expense of transportation. Prof. N. L. Ponder and Mr. Lu thur Couch were before the Board with the request for aid to run an electric line to Little River school house in order to furnish the school with electric lights. The Board would not agree to contribute any funds but passed an order authoriz ing the school committee to contri bute of their local tax funds toward th^ establishing of the line if in their judgment they deem it advisable to make such investment. The Board 'authorized the pur chasing of a typewriter for Brevard Graded Schools to be paid for out of the Local tax funds of Brevard school district.
