"I do not hesi tate to ray that any further consoli dation Bhould be effected only In upper grades. There should not be over four high schools in this coun ty placed at central points. In so doing, this would make schools large enough to offer commercial and agriculture courses and all the extras for which we don't have room We do not need a twelfth grade nearly as badly as we do need a reduction in tcachir.il lonri end a ninth month." Mr. Wellons married Miss Doris Ivey of pocky Mount ar.d they have two children.
