EIGHT-MONTHS|
SCHOOL TERM.
FELT ASSURED.
Opinion Grows State Sup
ported Full Term Is
an Eventually
Bv J. c. BASKERVILLE

RALEIGH. Feb. 23.-Though
none of the various school bills
have yet been reported out by the
Joint committee on education, the
opinion is stronger than ever that
an eight-months school term sup
ported entirely from state funds
will eventually be set up. Inc
bulge will be greatly curta'led,
however. so that the eight-months
term will receive about the same
amount of support from the state
that the six-months term is now
getting or about S17,000,000 a
year. In addition to this, the
s:hools will get the benefit OF
about $1,000,000 year in poll
and dog taxes, fines and forfei-
lures. so that if the general as
sembly appropriates $l7,OOO,oO9
a wear for the eight-months term
a total of from S18,000,00O to
$18,5OO,000 a year will be avail
able for it's maintenance, which IS
about the same amount that has
been going into the six-months
school term. -,
There is no indication that the
efforts of the school lobbyists,
textbook publishers and the North
Carolina Education association to
get through a bill calling for $780,
100000 or more a year for an
eight-months term, such as provld-
ed for in the bill introduced by
Representative C. B. Aycock and
sponsored by the school forces,
has a chance to succeed. This IS
especially true since the report or
the finance subcommittee, in It's
report issued yesterday, called at
tention to the fact that even with
a sales tax, there would not be
enough revenue to take over the
entire eight-months school term
except on a greatly curtailed cost
basis. The superintendent and
the textbook publishers are going
to fight bitterly for a larger ap-
preparation for the eight-months
term. But indications are that
their efforts will be futile, since
the general assembly seems de.
termined to reduce the cost of
the schools in the same proportion
all other state costs are being re-
duced.
There are two powerful reasons
for the growing sentiment in IA
vor of a state supported eight
months school term. The first is
that it affords the greatest and al
most the only means of bringing
about any substantial reduction in
taxes on property over the state,
since it would remove all the taxes
for the extended term mainten-
ance in al the special tax and
charter districts. At the present
time. more than 85 per cent CT
the white school children are in
extended term or eight-months
schools, with the cost of the eX,,
tended term paid for from local
taxes in the various tax districts.
These taxes vary from 80 cents to
80 cents on the 500 valuation,
even with the state aid received
from the S1,500,000 state tax re-
duction fund.
The second reason for The
sentiment for state SUI
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1933-02-23

ported eight-months school term
is that if the state does not take
over the extra two months, most
of the schools in the state would
revert to the six-months term only
and give up the extended term:
For it is maintained that most OF
the special tax districts would
either vote to remove the extend
ed term taxes entirely, or that II
they should be imposed, it would
not be possible to collect them.
because of the large number OF
people who are unable to pay any
of their taxes. 1t is also nam,
tanned that there is great deal
of waste and inefficiency in the
collection and expenditure of the
extended term taxes in the more
than 1900 special tax districts by
the state and that a great dea,
can be saved by eliminating all
these districts.
Senator Carl Bailey of Beau
fort county, co-author with Sen
ator A. D. MacLean of one of the
eight-months school bills intro
duced, especially stresses the IN
ability of the people to pay any
additional taxes for the support
of the extended term schools as
one of the dominant reasons why
the state should take over the en-
tire cost of the eight-months term:
Senator Bailey also points OUT
that the six-months term is lnsu1-
ficient and does not give adequate
preparation, especially to those
who want to 60 on to institutions
of higher learning.
It is also maintained that a
state supported eight-months term
is more fair to the teachers, since
it will assure them of eight months
employment instead of only six as
at present. 1t is true that most OF
the teachers, principals and super
intendents will get about the same
paw for eight months that they are
now getting for six months. But
otherwise they would get only the
same pay for six months that they
formerly got for about four
months. So the teachers will bene-
fit from an eight-months term.

DANA

DANA, Feb. 23.-The Dana
high school juniOr-senior ban
quet, which was held last Tues
day evening, Feb. Il. at the Hen
Jacksonville Inn in HendersonVllle,
was a most attractive affair, and
an important event which the
juniors and seniors enjoy each
year at this time.
The dining room was prettlly
decorated with strings of hearts
and balloons suspended from the
ceiling in Valentine colors, and
the table was covered with red
and white crepe paper. The
place cards which were held In
the up-lifted hands Of a pretty
flapper doll of pasteboard, added
much to the attractiveness of the
table, and the junior girls re-
ceived many compliments on
their ingenious idea. The mint
cups were red and white, and
red candles and ga(ax leaves ap-
propriately arranged, completed
the table decorations.
Frank l.. FitzSimons, seventh
grade teacher, was appointed
POSTMASTER, and grace was sale
by G. L. Stevenson. The first
course, grapefruit cocktail
was followed by a toast to st
Valentine given by Robert
Stevenson, after which heltl
Ward gave a toast to the sen
Tors. The junior class then rem
dered a song, and the seeonC
course, a dinner consisting Of
fried chicken, gravy. potatoes

LOCALS LOSE
To WHIT TIER

Failing to get their heavy artil-
lery into action last night, the FL
Centro All Stars were defeated
by the Whittier team last night
at Wilson field. The score was to
0 and gave the visitors the edge
in the three game series played
between these two teams.
1t was a hurling duel between
Hurst and Heman each pitcher
holding his opponents TO i've hits,
but three of the Whittier bingles
were punched in the seventh inning
and resulted in the one run needed
to win the game.
Heman, the Whittier pitcher, has
an effective change of pace which
had the local boys baffled. They
could not solve his delivery with
effective hits and this. brought
about their defeat.
In the field Forshey and Williams
were the bright stars-the former
by his stellar catch of a long foul
and the latter by a throw straight
to the plate which caught rum

Hurst yielded but five hits and
famed seven of the Quakers while
Heman sent back nine of the To-
Gals via the strikeout route.

bell. lean Oklahoma southpaw Who
risked running his pitching arm to
become baseballs first three-speed
screwball thrower, today was the
hero who gave the New York Gil
ants their victory in probably the
pivotal Struggle of the National
league season.
Hubbell came through one of the
supreme tests of his career with
flying colorS yesterday when the
Giants beat Pittsburgh, 2 to /, in
the final encounter of their cru
cial" five game series. 1t happened
in the eighth inning. Three Pi-
rates were on base; two were out,
and the Giants were leading by one
run. Pie Traynor, 1903 batter, was
up. Hubbell sent the ball squirm-
ing over the plate and Traynor
grounded out weakly.
Had the Pirates won this game,
it would have given them four out
Of five contests in the series and
chopped the Giants league lead TO
four and a half games. However,
the Giants extended their lead to
six and a half games, while the
Pirates defeat enabled the Chicago
Cubs to tie them for second place.
AS the Giants open five game
series with Cincinnati today, they
can lose eight of their remaining
"a games and still tie the Pirates
if they win their 81 remaining
games. The Giants can lose nine
games and tie the Cubs if they
win their remaining 10.
Hubbell held the Pirates to six
hits. while the Giants collected
seven off Smith and Hoyt.
The Cubs advanced with their
fifth straight victory, beating Bos-
ton. 8 to 3, for the Braves seventh
straight defeat. Babe Herman let
the Chicago u hit attack with four
hits in four tries, while Baxter Jor-
dams perfect day at bat accounted
for four of the eight Boston hits
off Guy Bush.
Brooklyn made six hits and six
errors in losing to Cincinnati u to
0. and st. Louis scored its fourth
straight win over the Phillies, 6 to
