OUR PEERLESS
PUBLIC SCHOOL
Its Vitality, Standard And
Growth.
| 1t is a SPLENDID objsct Lesson Of Colds.
bsre's Surging Energy and Steady
Development And Perennial
Youth.

No pablie school In North Carolina
can boast Of a more splendid record
than the Colds boro graded school. This
is due to many causes, chief Of which
have been able superintsndents, we'll |
equipped teachers, an extraordinarily |
intslligent student body, and the best
school beard in the State. ALI of these
are characteristic Of eur peerless
seheel today. and it is with pardonable
pride that we point to this record real
iztag that the exalted position Of the
school attained through its merit is be-
ing maintained, while it's standard is be
ing made to shine more brightly as the
years go by.
The course of study has been revised
and enriched, in keeping with new
necessities, until this year the Colds
boro Public School is placed on the ae
credited list of the State Unworthy,
which means that any student com
plotting the course as outlined may en-
ter the Univerity without conditions.
The Domestic Science department Is
growing in popularity at such a rapid
rate that it is almost impossible to ae-
com ma odate all who desire to take the
course, and the time is not far distant
when this department will be rscogniz-
cd 90 one OF the indispensable parts Of
the school.
The departments Of Music and Draw
ing, the former established this year
srs successful beyond the expectation
sf their most sanguins advocates and
the only regret is that those subjects
have not been regularly taught for the
past ten years,
The High School has more students
enrolled than ever before in it's history
indeed, the enrolment of the entire
lsehooI exceeds by more than 100 pupils
the enrolment for the corresponding
period of last year. There are 35 mem
bsrs Of the graduating class, netwith
: standing the fact that the work to be
accomplished this year as outlined is 9
, fnl year in advance OF last year. The
/ cry going up from the schools all over
the State that the children drop cut o.
school after completing the grammar
+, grades does net apply to Goldsbero
. for indeed the greatest interest is shown
> by the pupils after they enter this de
partmsnt. This probably is due to th'
fact that the authorities have bse1
particularly fortunate in their selectie1
+ of High School faculty. At the heat
: of each department there has beel
placed . teacher whose former training
and experience peculiarly fit her fe
: the work she is called upon to perform
and it Is no idle boast to say that il
t point Of scholarship and ability an
i successful experience no public higl
d school in North Carolina can peint to
. stronger, better equipped, more cen
a soientisus faculty.
9 Our primary and grammar sehes
departments, as in the past, maintai
t their positions of excellence, and it /
It due. no doubt, to the splendid worl
o done in these departments that tn
o high school is gaowing so rapidly Il
j. popularity among the students.
a Nest important Of all has been th
x policy employed by our splendi
q school beard in managing the affair
'f of the school. Ever wide-awake t
the best interests Of the school the
: have at all times selected teachers an
officers entirely upon their meri
. which has resulted in elevating th
standard of instruction, encouragin
4. greater efficiency in the classroom
and fostering a professional spir
= among the teachers unsurpassed any
.. ! whore in the State.
r. It is safe to say that no other city
of North Carolina has witnessed Co
= responding educational progress in 9
: many different directions, destined |
effect vitality, fundamentally and fl
{ the better, the welfare of its peopl
than has the Goldsbors scheols, ar
!. whatever the reasons it should be
matter of supreme qualification
y every citizen of Goldsb bero, AZ it is
! as, that such record can be shown.
