Kings Mountain
Officials Attend
School Meeting
Ten persons from Kings Moun
tain attended the White House
Conference on education which
was held in Charlotte Tuesday
afternoon.
School board members, A. W.
Kincaid, P. W. Plonk, and J.. W.
Webster; principals Rowell Lane,
Mrs. J.dL Thomson, W.'R. George,
and J. A. Gibson; Superintendent
B. N,. Barnes, Supervisor Alice C.
Averitt, and Robert Byers, Lay
man representative, were the lo
cal persons attending.
The three main topis discussed
at the meeting were the acute
shortage of school buildings, the
heed fcr more trained teachers,
and the question of asking for
additional federal aid for schools.
Some 500 delegates from the
South Piedmont region attended
the meet to discuss these needs.
The group emphatically call
ed for sufficient buildings to
eliminate double sessions, which
are now being held in many ci
ties, further agreeing that a 12
months’ attendance plan, with
staggered terms, would not be a
satisfactory answer to the prob
lem.
The group also agreed that
“low cost buildings with high
maintenance costs’’ nor an “ex
pensive building with low main
tenance costs” would not be a
solution. A middleg round can
be reached, it was said.
Dr. William Cartwright of
Duke University was spokesman
for the group discussing the
shortage of qualified teachers in
the state. He said, “The state
needs 3,200 new teachers each
year, one-third of which are
needed for new enrollment and
two-thirds to replace teachers
who are resigning and retiring”
He added, “By 1965, there will
be five high school students for
every two we now have.”
Superintendent B. N. Barnes
commenting on the last state
ment said, “If these figures hold
true, we will not have adequate
space in Central School to take
care of high school students a
