educational problem in this section,
W. S Bristow, assistant director of |
secondary education of the State De- |
partment, met with the school board |
and A. P. Cope, county superinten- |
dent, at the meeting on Tuesday night. |
| Mr. Bitlow stated that while there |
| are many small four-year high schools |
in- the State, many of them are not
large enough to provide good courses. |
In the opinion of himself and of the |
department officials, he said, much
better results and more varied courses
|can be obtained in larger centralized |
schools. - He conceded, however, that
this course cannot be adopted here at |
time since no one of the dis-
tricts is in a positiono to carry out
share of the program. aa aT Ee
