HOEY MAY,DEMAND
A TWELFTH GRADE
Governor Assembling Data
to Support Contention;
Many Favor 1t
Daily Di =. Bureau.

Raleigh, April 7-Governor Clyde
r. Hoey is assembling essential data
regarding cost and effect of a 18th
grade in the States public schools,
with view to pressing his advocacy
of the extra year. of education for
North Cardinals youth.
He had directed the School Com
mission to prepare figures showing
as much nearly as possible the exact
cost of 18th grade; the number of
teachers that would be required in ad
dition to those now employed; addi-
tional cost of transportation; and all
other data which are of any bearing
OH the proposal.
He indicated that this data will be
available in a comparatively short
time, and said that he will give them
out for publication as soon as pos
sible.
Since the plan for a 18th grade was
publicly advocated by the governor
some weeks ago, there has been an
almost unanimous endorsement of the
idea all over the State. Influential
organizations have placed them
selves squarely back Of the plan, and
hardly discordant note has been
sounded.
Even teachers organizations, which
might logically be expected to be no
more than lukewarm to the 18th
grade until nine months term is
standard throughout the State, have
been more or less restrained in their
comments.
Admittedly "horseback" estimate
by the Department of Public Instruc-
ton are that the cost of an extra
or 18th grade, will be far less thai
of month added to the school term.
When Lloyd Griffin. secretary of
the School Commission, has com
pleted the figures he is preparing for
the governor, it will be possible to
say almost exactly how much the
18th grade will cost.
