Eight Months School Term
Looming As Big Question
- ' !
Kaleigh, Aug. 9.—That the question ■
of an eight months school term is |
getting more and more likely to bfc j
onc of unusual interest and one that j
likely to be productive of consid
erable fireworks at the next session j
of the legislature is evident in the re- !
cent appointment of Dr. Fred Mor-' j
rison as assistant executive secretary |
(d the State educational commission, j
The commissionj consisting of 12 |
members, of which J. O. CCarr, of j
Wilmington, is chairman and J. Y. 1
Joyner executive secretary was ap- ; I
pointed by Gov. McLean, in accord- 1
ance with an act by the last legisla
ture, to make a study of educational !
system in the State, and any possible
ways and means for improving it. The '
report of the commission is to be
made to the Governor who then may
transmit whatever recommendations j
he sees fit to the legislature with his j
personal recommendations for needed j
legislation, remedial or oftierwi.se. i
The discovery that Dr. Morrison
had been made assistant executive
secretary has just been made, cl
though he was tendered this office
on July 22 when the commission held
its last meeting, and has been busy
rince then in collecting data and do
ing the necessary assembling of the
material with which the commission
will busy itself. A large part of t(hc .
icsearch work will naturally fall upon !
Hr Morrison, although from the mat
erial he assembles the commission will1
make its recommendations to the |
Governor. And although no indicatin'
has been given by any member of the
commission, judging from the general
makeup of the commission, it i*
.thought extremely likely that the
eight months school term will be
among its recommendations for the i
members of the commission tor U,t>
most part are considered pi*ugr*-s
sives. The chairman of the commis
sion, Mr. J. 0. Carr, is from New
Hanover county, where at present the
county schools all have a nine months t
term. Though no statement could be1
obtained from Mr. Joyner, it is be-,
heved that in view of his former ser
vices as State superintendent of pub
lic instruction, that he will favor the
eight months term. The em’i'oyment
of Dr. Morrison as assistant execu
tive secretary is believed important,
in view of the fact that he is ad
mitted to be one of the leaders in j
modern educational thought in the ,
.State. A graduate of the State Uni
versity, he was for several years on
♦ he faculty of the North Carolina col- :
U-ge for women in Greensboro. Just1
last year he received his degree of
Doctor of Philosophy at Columbia
University, with a thesis based on the
subject of the operation of the equal
ization fund in the financing of the
State school system in North Caro
lina. Thus Dr. Morrison is well
equipped to enter upon his duties ns
the research secretary of the commis
sion.
Thus it appears not at all unlikely
that the recommendations of the
commission will be progressive m
nature, looking toward the building
up of a stronger and more efficient
system of State education, than other
wise, which naturally would indicate
ihe question of an eight months school
term. The eight months school term,
however, cannot be legislated by the
general assembly, but must be sub
mittted to the popular 'vote of the
people in the foVm of an amendment
to the constitution, before it could
become a law. Hence it can only be
come a reality when a majority of the
people of the state desire it and so
vote at the polls. It is also pointed
out that the eight months school teP#i
-could not even be authorized before
1929.
Street Paving Here
Moving Right Along
Work on the streets <>f the city to
paved under the contiued program
of street improvement is advancing
auspiciou8lyt progress being such as
*o justify a hope that they will be
ready for use by the end of August
or the first of September. Sumter
'treet, in particular, is rapidly being
finished, and the er.d of the week
should find it open to traffi'1.
Resides this, other streets under
Process of construction are W. (lr.
bani, S. Lafayette, Marion and the N.
r State highway. The town is highly
interested in the progress of this lat
ter and it is expected to be finished
some time in October.
Ely Construction Co. and 7.ob

street work to b% 'done in the town,
ond have been working for soma
*'me- No further developments have
'Materialized in the proposed concrete
overhead bridge on North Lafayette,
but the repairing of Ob o7ut wooden
structure during the pa3t few days
nas led citizens to believe tnat noth
ing will be done any time in the near
future.
Kills Twenty-Two
Snakes At One Shot
Here is a snake story for you (
and it is vouched for by none 3
other than A. L. Devenny, a «
most dependable and worthy (
citizen who lives out on Kings (
Mountain, R-2, to which place j
he moved from upper Cleveland, j
At a single shot of his gun j
Saturday morning he killed 22
snakes. The mother reptile (
was the garter snake some two j
and a half feet long. When the j
snakes came forth, 21 in num- j
ber, measuring about five in- [
ches long. A few days prior j
to his “killing” experience, |
Mrs. Devenny put an end to the j
mate in the yard near the De- j
venny home. It is supposed j
that the mother snake was out j
Hooking for rats when Mr. De- I
venny came upon her with his (
shot-gun as the snake was f
found near the corn crib.
REJECT PLAN FOR
STATE OWNED ROAD
Federal Body Will Not Approve plan
Of North Carolina To Build
Railroad With State Money
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Washington Saturday re
jected a proposal by the state of
North Carolina to build a state own
ed railway to a point in Western
North Carolina and a point in East
Tennessee.
The road evhich would have been
built by the Appalachian and West
ern North Carolina railroad com
pany, which will be organized for the
purpose, was proprosed for one of the
three routes suggested by the appli.
cant. It would have been built from
the proceeds of the sale of $10,000,000
worth of state bonds.
In rejecting the proposal the com
mission doubted that $10,000,000 was
sufficient to construct, equip" and
operate the road. In addition the com
mission suggested that the company
select a. single route rather than a
number of alternative routes before
the commission could pass on the
question of the road’s necessity and
public convenience. The commission’s
decision said the “evidence as to the
•ost of the construction on the line
may be able to support itself, but
the estimates of the earnings have
without doubt been exaggerated.”
Three Routes Proposed
One of the proposed routes would
extend from Doughton to Mountain
City, Tenn. The distance was placed
at 86 miles and the construction costs
estimated at $9,470,000. The second
route would extend from North
Wilkesboro to Mountain City, Tenn.,
sixty-eight miles long at a proposed
cost of $7,430,000. The third route
would use the North Wilkesboro and
Mountain City terminals, including
more territory, being 84 miles long
and costing about $8,840,000.
As an auxiliary project the company
would build a 23 miles line from
North Wilkesboro to Taylorsville in
.lexander county to connect with a
ranch of the Southern railway.
“Tam" Bowie Road
The railroad for which permission
i huild was refused by the Inter
late Commerce commission was
nown in North Carolina as the
Tam Bowie railroad" through “the
,st provinces.” Representative Chas
iowie, of Ashe county, introduced
he measure passed by the 1923 gen
ral assembly providing for a bond
;sue of $10,000,000 to construct the
„ad which was to connect the coun
ies of Ashe, Watauga and Alle
hariy with the remainder of the
tate and with a western outlet in
•ennessee. These three counties have
or years been known as the lost
provinces because they are almost
ompletely shut off by mountains.
After the bill had safely passed. At.
ornev General Manning ruled the
ct unconstitutional and his succes
or Attorney General Brummitt, con
u/red in this ruling. The matter has
ever been taken to the supreme
ourt for final decision. The state has
aid out approximately $60,000 for
te preliminary survey of the route
L>r the road.

BEING DISTRIBUTED
Carries List of Prizes Together With
Rules For Big Fair Which
Opens Sept. 28th.
Cleveland County Fair prospects
received a noticeable boost this week
with the issuance Uf the annual bul
letin, carrying the list o7 prizes and
the rules and regulations of the event.
Racing fans, in particular, are gloat
ing over the $300 purses offered for
the winners in the various horse
races to be scattered over the five
days, that promise to attract some
of the finest horses in the South to j
compete for the money. More awards
are to be given this year than last,
and In more events, a fact that in it-1
self seems to assure success for the
fair.
The gates will be opened Tuesday,
Sept. 28, at eight o’clock, and the
five days from then on through Oct.
3, are filled with attractions of all
sorts to draw the crowds to the
grounds. Besides the racing purses,
a total of approximately 1.750 awards
are offered, of which 1,370 are cash
prizes and 380 ribbons. The cash
awards range all the way from 50c,
third prizes in varous groups, to the
awards $15 for collective exhibi
tions of canned fruits and vegetables,
$30 for the best city club booth, ara
$70, $60 and $55 respectively for the
three best community exhibits of
farm products. All communities ex
hibiting in this last group will re
ceive $50. Many citizens of the city
and county have already signified
their intention of trying to pull down
some of the prizes in the "Various
events, and first-rate exhibitions
should he the rule.
Dr. Dorton, secretary of the fair,
continues daily to secure new
amusement ferflures for the patrons,
with ji line-up of free attractions
almost equaling those which require
cash admission fees. It has become
almost a triteness to say that this is
to he the biggest fair that Cleveland
has yet had, but nevertheless all pres
ent indications point that way.

Schools Are Beginning
To Open-30 School Trucks
13,660 School Pupils In County Last
Year—Dr. Highsmith Proposes
Shake-up In Courses of Study
School terms for 1926-27 will be
gin opening over the county Tuesday,
when the courses offered at Pied
mont, Fallston, Lattimore and
Mooresboro schools will get under
way. Others will have their open
ings at later dates, Waco the 16th
of this month, Grover the 23rd, and |
others up until the latter part of
October. While the exact date for
the beginning of the Shelby city
schools has not as yet been decided,
it will be some time about the mid
dle of September.
The county schools, under the policy
inaugurated during the past two or
three years, will be more closely
bound together than before by the
consolidation of six school* at Bel
wood, to go into effect this terra, and
the combining of the Roberts and
Eliznbeth schools recently decided up
on. Thirty trucks will take care of
the pupils living at a distance from
the schools which they attend.
The total enrollment this year is
expected to exceed that of last year,
which figured for the county exclusive
of Shelby and Kings Mountain, 7,219
,whites and 2,752 colored. This num
ber is increased by the enrollment of
2.070 white and 425 colored pupils in
Shelby, and 971 whites with 230 col
ored at Kings Mountain. School
facilities in the section have been in
creased to take care of the expected
growth in enrollment.
Proposes Big Change In Studies
Dr. J. Henry Highsmith, state in
spector of high schools, in conference
.with county principals here Saturday
morning, outlined a policy of reorgan
ization of schools which when put in
to effect, will mean a decided shake
up in the courses to he taught in the
schools of that class over the state.
The plans discussed by him will par
ticularly effect the small, or three
teacher schools, in that many of hte
changes are to apply directly to them.
One of the most outstanding mod»
fications is the new rule which pro
hibits the small school from offering
more than one foreign language, the
course being limited to two yeais.
The rule also limits the number of
courses offered during any one yen.
to four, prohibiting any student ex
cept ispeciant stude,its, from taking
more than the prescribed number dur
ing any one school term. This latter
.rule applies to all schools, large as
well as small. Another effecting a
severe shake-up in teaching policies
concerns the mathematics courses,
under the terms of which algebra is
to be begun in the middle of the
eighth vear. and to be taugV for a
year and a half. Plane geometry will
therefore begin in the tenth grade,
and continue the remaining two years.
It is further ordered that no instruc
tor shall be allowed to teach more
than two subjects, these to be pre
scribed by the state.
Possibly the change most interest
ing to the students thenuetvfls is that
in the length of the period*. Five
minutes are to be added to each reel
tation, making a standardized class
oeriod over the state of 50 minutes.
Dr. Highsmith, in closing, stated
that the purpose in the new program
is to limit the classes in order to in
tensify the work, and be able to give
more attention to the laboratory side
of teaching. He recognized the dif
ficulties in the way if the new policy,
but declared that although it will be
necessary to do the best possible the
first year with the teaching force al
ready signed and the equipment at
hand, next year should see a com
plete installation of the changes, with
the rules to be strictly enforced.
HARDIN OFF ON IP
WITH FIRM I6ENTS
Alvin Hardin, Cleveland county
farm agent, has gone to Washington,
D. C., to study the federal govern
ment methods of farming, breeding,
and dairying. Mr. Hardin was accom
panied by the agents from 17 other
counties of Western Carolina, as well
as the district agent, and the trip will
be made in a large Pullman bn*,
scheduled to leave Charlotte August
9th, and to st^r away from the state
about 9 or ten days. Two days will be
required to make the trip each way,
the route up leading through Dan
ville and Fredericksburg, and the
return by way of the famous Shenan
doah valley section. Each agent will
pay his own personal expenses.
While in the capTlal city, the part>
advanced farming methods employed
will make an intensified study of the
in the government laboratories and on
the farms. They will be shown
through the federal agricultural de
partments, and to cap the clmax,
will be introduced to Hubert Work,
secretary of agriculture. Many new
ideas in regard to the modern way of
running a farm will be gained by the
agents, during their tours over the
farms owned by the government in
M’aryland, and the farmers of the
state should benefit accordingly.
Mr. Hardin is very enthusiastic
oyer possibilities of the trip, and
hopes to bring back information
that will be of help to the farmers of
the county.

Best Fruit Crop
In Fifty Years
Uncle Dock Kuttle Itnalln When His
Father Had 2.200 Gallons Of
Apple Brandy
‘‘This is th‘e best fruit year that
Cleveland county has had in fifty
years.” in the opinion of "Uncle Duck”
Suttle who was sitting on the square
today in his accustomed place, dis
cussing matters in general and the
fruit crop in particular. Continuing,
Uncle Dock said, “There are only
two ways by which fruit can be sav
ed now—drying and canning and 1
understand the farmers are doing
both. Sugar is cheap and lots of fruit
is being put up. When 1 was a boy
there was a third way to snve the
| fruit when there was a good crop.
I It was made into apple branch'. ie
| member one year when the fruit crop
was abundant, my father had 2,200
gallons of apple brandy stored in
barrels in a house in the yard. He
.would haul the brandy to Columbia,
IS. C., where he got 28 cents a gal
lon for it and with this money he
bought negro slaves when he got
back home. If that brandy could be
sold on today s market, it would be
worth a small fortune. It would
bring 28c a smell.”

There Are 5,86.1 In The County And
414.000 In the State—Coat 290
Millions Annually
North Carolina’s motor car bill for
1926 will be approximately 290 mil
lion dollars, according To figures
compiled in the last issue of the
University News Letter. The esti
mate is based on computations of the
bureau of industrial technology whieh
states that it costs on an average of
$700 a year to own and operate a
car. the figures including the initial
cost, depreciation of value and up
keep.
Cleveland county, according to this
authority has 5,863 niortor vehicles, an
in the county average of one foi*every
six and one-tenth people in the coun
ty. This is a fraction more than the
average in the state which is one for
every 6.5 inhabitants.
With approximately 414,000 motor
cars by the middle of the year, and
at the present rapid rate of increase
actual calculations would place the
figure even higher. It will take the
money from all crops'received in the
state to puy this bill, it is pointed
out, or again it will take the total
value of all textile mills in the State
to pay the motor car bill.
Guilford leads all other counties in
the State with 22,451 cars, which is
one motor car for every 3.8 inhabi
tants, while Yancey county stands at
the bottom of the list with 607 au
tomobiles for every 26.7 inhabitants.
The average for the State is one car
for every 6.5 persons, but at the pres
ent rate of purchasing cars, the State
will average one to the family by
another 12 months, says the bulletin,
taking five as the number of the aver
age family in the State.
According to this average, Guil
ford has considerably more motor
cars than she has families. The entire
population of Guilford could go to
ride at once, and leave enough cars
at home to carry the population of
any one of the smaller counties of
the State.
Mecklenburg is second in motor
cars, with 20,912, and also- second in
inhabitants per car with one car for
every four inhabitants. Wake coun
ty stands fifth in both counts with
Rowan holding third place and Lin
coln fourth. Wake has 16,446 cars
which is one car to every 4.8 persons.
The nine counties standing at the
head of the list which includes in
addition to those named above, Bun
combe, Caldwell, Lee and Henderson
average a motor car or better to a
fatpily.
Eight mountain and two tidewatef
counties comprise the 10 countiyi
that fool the tabulated list. Yancey
ranks last with approximately five
families to the motor car, but Yan
cey averages almost as well as the
State averaged at the end of the
prosperous year 1919 when 100,00.0
cars were listed in the State.
In the last decade or since 1916,
the number of motor cars in the Statu
has multiplied 25 times over. In 1915
the 15,410 cars in the state meant
only one car for every 140 inhabi
tants. There are four counties in the
State now each of which has more
motor cars than the entire State had
a decade ago.
