CUR SCHOOL High Point, N. C., has one of the best schools in the state. It is com- posed of about two thousand children, who are under the instruction of nearly half a hundred teachers. These students are distributed in four buildings in different parts of the town, each building being under the direct control of a principal and the supervision of the city superintendent. They are instructed in the usual prescribed courses, according to the most ap- proved methods, and given in addition some unusual advantages. But, we must admit, it was not always thus. There was a time when we had no graded school. There was a time when we had only the begin- ning of one, and to best understand and appreciate our present school we must know something of that time. Look back and slowly scan the road, on every mile post hang some wreath of green. On the first mile-post we see written Ancient History and a date nearly twenty years old. At this time the leading men of High Point real- ized that not only to progress, but even to maintain their present standard they must have a bigger and better means of education. The situation was this: High Point, a delightful city of four thousand inhabitants, had no means for making the future generation a powerful one, because it had no adequate means of educating the masses of the people. The people had en- tirely out grown the county and private schools and the demand for one that more generally met the needs was imperative. A few men, among whom were: Messrs. J. E. Cox, F. N. Tate, R. A. Wheeler, R. C. Charles, J. A. Lindsay, A. Sherrod, W. P. Pickett, D. C. Aldridge, E. A. Snow, W. H. Snow, W. H. Ragan, G. W. Bradshaw, Wm. Tate, D. A. Stanton and J. J. Welch, lmembers of the first school boardl got together and talked and planned. They decided that a graded school was what the city needed, and once they had made their decision they be- gan to work for itsmaterialization. They met opposition, for such an under- taking always occasions it, but they over came it, and soon had the pleas- ure of taking the necessary legal steps for establishing the school. One of the first steps was the purchasing of the school building on the corner of South Main and East Green Streets. At the present time, when our school property is worth at least a huudred thousand dollars we can hardly realize that this building was then considered modern, and yet cost only seven thousand dollars 670005. Yet this was the case, and the Superintendent's Clvfr. Geo. H. Crowelll first report is in corresponding pro- portion. It reads: Number of grades 9. Number of teachers 9. Total enrollment of pupils 476. The first year of the graded school was a more decided success than even its most loyal supporters had dared hope for, and after that, what had VIII
