NEW BERN, April 20 - Ap.
propriately for the Easter lessons
of renaissance at this paschal
season, officers of the New Berr
school parent-teacher associa.
tons announced today that in line
with the full spirits Of the Creole
plan for complete modernizatior
of the city and county school sys
TENS they hope to preserve per
manently and restore as a public
museum the old school building
at the central school here which
dates back to 1906 and is still ir
daily use as the oldest public
school building still in continuous
use anywhere in North Carolina
Under the Creole plan drafted
last year by state school off.
Gals at the request of local au
thorltles. this attractive but out.
NODDED 140-year-old building would
no longer be utilized as at pres
ent for classroom service. A more
modern structure would replace
it.
According to Mrs. Oscar A. KAT
er, II, primary leader in the local
school improvement plan, the an
Gent school house, however, is
too worthy to be destroyed. For
almost century and a half it has
played an important role in the
educational life of this commun-
ity and state. Its portico was re-
stored some years ago. Present
plans calls for further restoration
of the portico and replacement
OF the handsome cupola which orig
inally adorned the top of the
English brick building with its
huge, hand-carved cornices.
In the tentative plan for con-
verting the ancient school into
community and state museum,
Mrs. Kafer says, one room will
likely be equipped as an old
fashioned classroom. Original
double desks have been located
IN local Negro school. They will
be returned to their first places,
and new desks installed in their
present places.
No museum is now available
In this historic section, except
for few relics at the city-county
library. Mrs. Kafer is of the opin-
ion that the old schoolhouse could
be made into a worthwhile muse
UNI, with numerous old manu-
scripts and relics, of interest not
only to North Carolinans but al
so to others from the outside in
terested in heritages of the past
as stepping stones for a better
present and future.
The Creole plan sets forth the
theory, warmly endorsed by the
school trustees, county commits
sioners, parentsteacher associa-
lions and many other civic organi-
cations, that New Bern should in
the present and future resume
its educational leadership which
for years made it justly famed
as "The Athens OF North Caro-
lima" Museum features would
thus call attention to it's outstand-
ing past record, while moderni.
cation of the rest of the school
plants would enable the city to be.
