COST PER PUPIL
SHOWS DECREASE
(Continued from page one)
The averaafi training for the' high
school faculty this year is college
graduation plus one-half year of ad
ditional training. In other words all
of the teachers in this year's high
school factulty are college graduates
and half of them have had as much
as one year of training in addition
to this.
The result of this study and that
of last week shows one thing be
yond all others. That is that it is
cheaper to teach students in large
numbers, that better teachers can be
employed without increasing the cost
of instruction. That is what is
meant ty efficiency. These "Studies
therefore,' begun to .determine the
facts for what they were and to
prove or disprove ,it pet theories,
clearly bears out the argument of
those who have stood for. consolida
tion of schools, churches and other
social agencies. The gist of that is
that, while you can have efficient
schools, with small groups of stu
dents, the cost of such schools is
high and in some cases "prohibitive
and that on the contrary efficient
school systems are . possible at less
cost to the taxpayer when the groups
are- larger 1 and when , consolidation
has been effected to th greatest pos
sible degree. .
Best of all it shows that Franklin
and Macon county are not ' standing
still or going backward, nor are they
sacrificing anything, either in th ,
quality of teaching or in the amount
of it which gets to the student.

My .Dear Captain Lenoir: Twenty-Five, and
one ' half years ago (5 1-2 years before Jefferson
Standard began business), you wrote an application
for $1,000.00 on the life of my son, Burton. Only.
5 premiums were ever paid on the policy, and I, had
thought for over 20 years it had lapsed and was
of no value. j.r 1
Several times since Burton's death you insisted
that policy was valuable, and after your insistent
requests that I look up policy, that under its auto-,
matic extended insurance feature, (which I under
stand Jefferson Standard has) it was worth to me
as beneficiary under the policy its full face value.
I looked every where but could not find policy. " I
furnished an indemnity bond and proofs of death, ;
and in 5 days after received check for $1,000.00 in
full payment for policy which I supposed lapsed for
non-payment of premiums more than 20 years since.
Plenty of agents will take your insurance; col
lect the fees; treat you right as far as looking after
the business goes but this is the first time I ever
, had one insist that I collect money that I did, not
imagine was due me.
