The grammar grade schools of Cool Springs Township will open Aug. 31st. The High School will begin two weeks later.
Since Cool Springs has a mixed urban and rural population it was thought best to begin the schools as early as possible this year. The high school will be delayed two weeks in order to begin work in the new high school building. First class work could not be accomplished with the high school operating in the grammar grade building, since the enrollment would be greater than the building could accommodate.
The High School will offer two courses: The academic will admit graduates to full standing in any of the colleges or universities in the South; the vocational course will enable pupils to prepare themselves for some special work. Work in Home Economics, typewriting, bookkeeping, short hand, agriculture, expression and public school music will be added to the high school curriculum this session. The pupils of Cool Springs district will have all the advantages of a city high school.
Forest City has the honor of having the first high school in the county to be accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and High Schools. It is an honor to be recognized by the highest authorities in the south and to gain admittance into this select group of high schools. The standards of the Southern Association have been carefully observed and all prerequisites have been met for membership for the coming session.
In order to build any great structure it must have a solid foundation. This principle has been kept in mind during the reorganization of the grammar grade schools of the township. It is the plan of the superintendent to see that uniformity of work is accomplished in all the schools. It is his opinion that the instruction in the lower grades is as important as the high school or more so. For this reason three of the grammar schools have standard college graduates with experience as principals. Also the grammar schools have a number of Winthrop College, Asheville Normal and other college graduates. The foundation is being laid for one of the best systems of schools in North Carolina.
Since Forest City has the double promotion system, beginners who are not six years old September 1st will not be admitted until the second semester. Pupils who enter school before they are six years old usually repeat one or more grades before they complete the seventh grade. This fact was revealed by a careful study of the Forest City school system last year.
