TO THE VOTERS
OF HYDE COUNTY
The undersigned candidates for membership on the
Board of Education of Hyde County solicit your votes and
support in the Democratic Primary of May 28 on the basis
of the following frank and open statement:
If elected to this important office, we pledge to
you that we will continue to operate the five (5) accred
ited high schools now in operation. These consist of West
Hyde and Hyde County Training Schools located at Swan
Quarter, East Hyde and Davis at Engelhard and Ocracoke
School at Ocracoke.
We plan to apply to the State Board of Education
for sufficient funds from the 1953 State Bond Issue to
build needed class rooms at Davis School. We have made
a personal inspection of this school and find an extreme
ly over-crowded situation existing. The wood frame build
ing occupied by the small children is also a fire-trap. We
feel that this improvement will keep and improve the good
relationship now enjoyed between the two races in our
county.
We will apply to the State Board for an allotment of
Bond Issue funds to construct a combination auditorium
and gymnasium at the West Hyde School at Swan Quar
ter.
We will make careful surveys of the East Hyde
School and the Ocracoke School, and make needed re
pairs and improvements.
We will continue to approve the assignment of the
Ponzer children to the Belhaven School.
We plan to strengthen the science, math and for
eign language departments of the five schools by partici
pating in the Federal Government program. This program
. allots to Hyde County approximately $2,700 in federal
funds to purchase laboratory equipment and other teach
ing aids for these subjects. This must be matched by local
county funds, which would make a total of some $5,400
a year to be used in this important area.
We plan to request the County Commissioners
for the necessary funds to employ three additional high
school teachers, one each at Davis School, East Hyde
School and West Hyde School. The Hyde County Train
ing School already has four high school teachers. This
would give the four schools on the mainland four high
school teachers each, in addition to the vocational teach
ers. The cost to the taxpayers of Hyde County for these
additional teachers would be much lower than the extra
maintenance and transportation costs involved in the dis
credited plan to operate a so-called central high high
school. The proposed central school would only be a four
teacher school in addition to the two vocational teachers,
and we would still have to operate two elementary schools
at Swan Quarter and Engelhard.
We wish to clear up rumors that have been circu
lated that the present high schools are not accredited.
This is not so, and an examination of the school records
will prove it. The State Board requires an average daily at
tendance of 60 pupils to have an accredited school. We
have more than enough pupils to meet this requirement and
will have them in the foreseeable future.
We feel that this program is fair to all. We feel
that it is only fair to let you know how we feel before ask
ing for your vote. If elected by the people, appointed by
the House of Representatives and approved by the Sen
ate* in the 1961 North Carolina Legislature, we pledge
that our one goal shall be to provide each child in Hyde
County with the very best educational advantage possi
ble.
Respectfully submitted,
W. T. HOWARD
