COUNTY MAY GET NEW
100000 HIGH SCHOOL
Twenty Room Building Proposed for Consoli-
dation of Ten Small Schools, Serving
Nearly 600 Pupils

Nixonton township, i'll the next
year. il plans now under the
consideration. OF tho County
Board of Education are car
ricd ont. The building would
take care Of more than $50
pupils in ten small rural schools
in the county.

Of pupils that may be- consolidated

Educational progress is handi-
capped in many Of these schools
which have long been inadequate.
The proposed school would contain
about ~ class-rooms, TO allow for
the growth of the school for. sever
al years to come, and would be
thOroly equipped for home demOn-
stratiOn and agricultural training.

toned above. this school would take
care of upwards Of, 100 children
now paying tuition in the Eliza-
beth City high school, relieving
this already inadequate school sys-
TEN of considerable burden.
Securing the funds for the school
is the problem yet TO be met. There
is probability that the General
! Assembly will appropriate suff1-
cient, finds for educational pur-
poses that the county can borrow
sufficient money TO finance the
school.
In the event. however, that this
money is not provided, a bond is
sue may bc voted on this spring,
which if passed will make possible
the erectiO nof the building before
the school term Of 1926.
