Raleigh, Aug 10.-Public schools
in North Carolina are going to be
kept open for the full six months as
is provided for in the constitution,
and counties are going to foot the
bill without difficulty.
Failure of the counties to levy suf-
ficient revenue to run the schools for
the full period would have meant
prosecutions by the State superin-
tendent. Following reductions in
property valuations earlier in the
year fear was expressed as to wheth-
er the schools could be financed or
not. superintendent Brooks remind
ed the counties that the constitution
called for six months schools and as
head of the department of education
he intended to see that provision OF
the law enforced.
Taxation is still puzzling in some
counties but assurance is given the
educators here that the schools will
comfiture to anybody.
Development of free employment
bureaus in North Carolina is pro-
crossing in a satisfactory manner
says Federal director Shipman. The
results are pleasing the Washington
Office as we'll as those observing the
work of the department at close
range. Wade H. Skinner, assistant
director general, of Washington,
writes as follows of North Carolina
TT is very encouraging and graft
flying to note the improvement in the
employment in your State. AS your
work becomes better known to both
the employers and the workers 1 an
sure it's volume of business will in
crease" aNW
A letter has also been received ex
pressing appreciation of the work be
ing done by the bureaus from the
Raleigh post of the American Legion
