School Policy Needs Revising

gerry or any other illness then the school is
penalized for the absence.
Policy makers should give serious
thought to making few changes. Why
penalize the school teachers when a stu
dent has no choice but to be absent from
school when he is ill?
Had some provision been made for such
absences then Williams Township and
many other schools throughout North Car
DINA would have profited.
If such change were made then the
taxpayers would probably have to bear
the burden but what difference does one
more additional tax mean if it insures a
better education for our children? Few
would complain.
The teaching profession is handicapped
enough the way it is without adding one
more obstacle to the course. Few profess
slons have such discouraging working con-
dltions and any move to make teaching
more attractive would benefit the entire
citizenry
Some schools regain the teachers dur
ing the first 10 days of school; however,
it is much too difficult to regain teachers
for it to be considered as the solution. Dur
teacher allotment is based on one teacher
per 30 students but during the "regaining
period the quota is raised to SO per
teacher.
Under the present system, teachers
could eliminate the problem but they would
have to degrade themselves in order to do
it. :. If each absence were recorded with
a slight cough then it would be excused
and no damage done to the teacher allot-
ment. Actually, it would tend to increase
the number of teachers allotted to each
school
We do not recommend such a proceed
ure. We are confident that the policy MAX
ers for our public schools will be able to
find a more suitable method. We recon-
mend that teachers be allotted on the basis
of one per each 80 students enrolled in
school
It's too late to make any forward mo-
ton during this school year but it doesn't
seem too early to seek solution to the
problem. IA. H.

Policy makers in the public school
field should take leave of their legislation
and start visiting the public schools. .
Undoubtedly, the sight of 40 or SO young
sters in a room with one teacher would
send them scurrying back to their legisla-
tive desks with full intentions of aleviat-
ing the situation as best they know how.
We are not criticizing the officials for
failure to pay attention to our changing
needs since there has been a trend to build
more modern schools with ample space for
all. Our complaint is that with all the en-
phasis on building there continues to exist
one antiquated policy-that of allotting
teachers to a school.
1t is not strictly a home ailment al
though one of the best examples can be
found here in Columbus County At Will
liams Township an eighth grade teacher
was lost due to the drop in average daily
attendance. This loss placed tremendous
burden on the two remaining eighth grade
teachers-one had a class of AZ students
while the other was burdened with 46
pupils.
The fact that Principal Vincent J.
Colombo alleviated the situation, to some
extent, placing the seventh and eighth
grades on a departmental level does not
take away from the seriousness of the
problem.
Current policies approved by the North
Carolina State Board of Education allot
teachers to schools on the basis of their
average daily attendance-one teacher for
each 80 students If this were one per 30
on basis of enrolment there would be no
problem; however, when narrowed down
o average daily attendance the system is
unsound.
Last year the average daily attendance
at Williams School was 705 for "a ele-
mentary teachres. An average daily at
Hndance of Ill would have permitted them
- retain all of their faculty members

able to give Tabor City the benefit of his

One of the most outstanding features
of the support given the local athletic and
physical education expansion is that the
Red Devil football squad is facing one of
its leanest seasons in several years. mex
perienced players dominate the roster and
there is little hope for a record breaking
season such as that of last year. In the
face of these dscouraging facts, local citi-

Christ. and His Apostles. The
Scriptures have been provided
for by God as a source of Know
ledge as to what Christianity
really is. Surely, we agree. here
is an abiding value. We must

There are those today who en-
phasize the importance OF hope.
We must hold close, they urge,
to the hope of the world, which
is in Christ Jesus, accepted for
pardon, precept, and power. In
this atomic age when men can
destroy the human race we must
gather men together at the feet
Of Christ and turn from our
strife to ways of peace and bro
therhood. Communism is steal
ing the world, while we Christ

fail to 60 into all the world with
the glad news of Jesus Christ.
Christ prayed that believers may
be one in order that the world
may believe that God sent Him.
The home of the world is in
united Christian witness and
work, which joins us in a Christ
ian fellowship. Surely, we agree,
here is an abiding value. We
must hold close to the hope Of
the world.
We don't want to take sides on
these questions. We want to hold

love, too.

pened near here last week and
the guy is still getting horse
laughs from his friends.
Seems that the character was
always Dragging about buying
everything wholesale. II his
friends bought anything and
even came close to letting the
merchant make his legitimate
profit then the Bargain Boy"
attacked them for being so fool

office and the Bargain Hunter"
asked me If I'd ride with him to
Fair Bluff.
We discussed everything from
insects TO skycrapers and we're
talking about crime whan it
happened.
Several members OF the pin
striped suit gang were diligently
hacking away at the UNDER

that he couldn't identify any
Winter Garden city officials as
having given the order: They

given, no city official was guilty
but someone was posing as a

And according to Farm Direc-

thought that the order to move
