The Plan of Supervision in
Halifax County

The following paragraphs tax
en- from the last issue of the
East Carolina Training School
Querterly are of interest to the
people of the county.
The Supervisor in Halifax
County, Miss Annie Cherry, Is
truly the helping teacher" that
the teacher in charge of the
routine work of the school needs.
Much has been said about the
limitations of the supervisory and
of the system of supervision. un-
til many are not in favor of using
the term. 1t does not matter
what the word is, if the right In.
depreciation is put on the word.
The Worlds Work, in the Sep
tember number, has an article on
THE Helping Teacher" and from
that one would judge that she is q
rara avis found only in New Jer.
sey, or Michigan or some other
place remote from North Caro-.
lima. This work has been going
on in Halifax for some time.
This is the third year that 1t has
been definitely organized along
the lines it is now following.
The editor of the Quarterly
asked for an article, but as 1t was
just at the busiest season (there
is no season that is not her busy
season., she sent reports of her
work just as she had made them
out, no revision, no changing of
any kind. She also sent copies
of the school paper referred to In
her report. She gave permission
for the use of these In any way
the editor should see fit to use
them. We are taking bodily
word for word many parts Of the
report, and regret that lack Of
space prevents the use of every
word Of it.
THE SUPERVISOR, OR HELPING
TEACHER NEEDED
1t seems that in some counties
the superintendent and the coun.
ty Board of Education do not zee
the value of having q supervisor.
After seeing what is being done
in Halifax County they should be
convinced.
There are still many strong
teachers left in the profession
who can manage we'll for them.

What has been accomplished

the Highway Commission took
charge to Nov. Both, 1920 as re-
CARDS the work done by the

600, 100 lineal yards of bitches

1861, 92O lineal yards of roads
have been dragged. these roads
being of various widths.
42,207 tons of gravel have been

$1,000 lineal yards Of recon-
structed roads have been built of
various widths and of different
types of construction.
These are a few facts, as the
records show, and the above fig
ures do not include the new work
that has been going on at the
same time, the above work SIM
ply being necessary to keep the
roads in the condition you find
them today.
1t is interesting to note here
that there are on file in the Office
of Mr.. C. F. Gore, Highway En-
gineer. many petitions all of
which have been presented to
your highway Commission signed
by hundreds of voters in the
various parts of Halifax County
asking for new, and construct

timated to run into sums of six
figures and which would take
two years to complete. This in
dicates only one thing to the
Road Board, that the voters of
Halifax County want good roads
and after obtaining them, the
voters want them maintained.
