In q forum discussion held recent
" at Tarboro. at which the subject
of federal aid TO education was dis
cuSSed. DR.. Mcdonald declared that
the underlying principle behind the
movement Tor federal aid is similar
10 the present North Carolina state
policy of putting the wealth of the
State behind the education Of all the
children. -
Dr.. Mcdonald went on to explain
that proponents Of Federal aid con-
tend that states with large rural
population. such as North Carolina
are unable 10 raise sufficient money
Tor support Of their schools, while
states with concentration OF popula-
ton in urban centers are able TO pro-
vide better educational facilities
Federal aid, he said, would equallze
this discrepancy.
