TODAY'S BXBLB VE&8E c
Be not thou envious against sv?l e
men. neither desire to be with them.
Proverbs 24:1. 8
, Register Saturday
8aturday win be the last day to
register for the May 25 voting, and
all un-registered citizens should get
their names on the books, in order to
east their vote*. j
Though registrars in Kings Moontain
reporitd business was a little '
better Saturday, they are sure that f
many persona who will want to vote
till haven't put their names on the
books.
Citizens should remember that tl ,
they have not voted in a eounty elee- ,
tion since 1938 they are probably an- ,
registered, and that do4?n t 'fhdode ,
thoee who have voted in special elee- j
tlons, such as last summer's hospital <
bond vote.
All' eltisens should take an active 1
internet in voting?not as they are
told to vote, or asked to vote?but as
they -feel they should vote. A careful
perusal of the records of the candl- 1
I dates and voting for the best man '
would'give much better government.
If you haven't registered, Saturday
will be yqur last chailce. And if you
aren't registered, you can't vote.
School Evaluation
The Herald, as well as school of,
fieials, have received much favorable
comment on* the news story of Inst
week giving the inmmsiy of the evolnation
of the high school.
Being n report translated into statistical
graphs, the story was difficult
to write and rntner impossible
to handle in fall detail..
As readers noted, the evaluating
committee felt that Kings Mountain
high school was far ahead of tho
schools in the southern region nsed 1
. to set np the evaluating criteria. Lo- ,
cal school officials will be quick to
point out that, in general, the schools
, of the south are far behind those .of
the other regions. However, Kings
Mountain high school compared favorably,
not only with schools of other
regions but the various types of (
schools, from, very large high schools ,
to private schools all over the United (
t States. j
School officials here also realise 1
that the evaluation was a comparison
with the better schools of the nation,
bnt that there are many departments f
which are not operated to full effiei- '
ency and many departments which 1
might be added. These improvements 1
they hope to make. '
To bring about these improvements 1
school officials here and elsewhere *
need a citizenry which will be mnek c
less niggardly in the amount of money
furnished for the education of *
their children.
? t? ?j
uapmvcmoaii ana expan*
?lon are needed, ae are larger a* J
mount* for teaching salaries to at- 1
tract better personnel.
But while North Carolina, the r
Booth, and other regions are eduea- c
ting themeelve# to the need for bur- *
ger education budget*, the school is 1
' i getting and deserves commendation
on its report by the evaluating com- a
mittec. , ' 1
Though official reports on the first |
