CLARY MAKES ADDRESS TO NORTHAMPTON TEACHERS AT WEDNESDAY MEETING - a Morris S. Clary, social science teacher at Roanoke Rapids High School, addressed the Northampton County Teachers Association in a meeting held at Jackson Wednes day night at 8 p. m. Mr. Clary's subject was, “The New Constitutional Amendment for North Carolina Schools.” He had made a similar address before the leadership conference of the Northeastern district of the North Carolina Educational Association on October 19th, at the local high school. This meeting was attend ed by representative members from several nearby counties, in cluding Northampton, Edgecombe, Nash, Warren and Granville. An appeal for support of the Constitutional Amendment, which will be voted on at the November 3rd elections was made by Clary, and he ended up his discussion with a brief summary of the rea xirViTr in Vii<3 nnininn the Deo pie of North Carolina should vote for the new Constitutional Amend ment for improving the State ad ministration of schools: "In the first place, it provides for one central Board of Educa tion to administer the school pol icies of the State. “In the second place, it provides for the abolishment of the five boards which provide a clumsy ar rangement at the present time for the operation of schools. “In the third place, it gives the people control of their public schools through their own local district representation on the one board to be set up. “In the fourth place, the pro posed plan is in keeping with the more modern arrangements used by progressive states in operating their schools. “In the fifth place, this new amendment has been submitted to the voters of North Carolina as a result of the study and support of such school-minded organizations as the North Carolina Education Association, the State Grange, the State Congress of Parents and Teachers, the School Board Asso ciation, and the State Federation of Woman’s Clubs. “In the sixth place, the adop tion of this amendment is one of the planks in the platform of the Democratic Party, and has the support of Governor Broughton, former Governor Hoey, and most of the educational leaders of the state.” He ended his discussion with the plea: “Let us go to the polls on November 3, and vote for this Constitutional Amendment provid ing for the better administration of schools in the State!” First Methodist C^urcHi Services for Sunday, November 1: 9:45 a. m. —• Church School, A.
