Now under construction at the intersection of the New Bern and Trenton highways just east of Kinston is a handsome $300,000 per mament home for this new step, 6r fridge'in the field of education. A combination of two things is perhaps more the cause of this rapid expansion than anything else: 1. The flexibility of the school and 2. The ambitious curiosity of people Sr this area.
