About the gravestones in Fourth Creek, they were very old and lettering illegible so Mies Loula Campbell replaced them with new ones. She made an error on Mary Knox's stone in saying she married James. She followed the Knox book which says their grand- son thinks his grandfather's name was James - the grandson was e Thomas De Imagine it! So Miss Goodman enters James doubtfully. , Widow Maybe we'll overtake that elusive Bell sometime and maybe she was Beall. Than’ you for making a suggestion of help. for Elizabeth. She has been most fertunate. A sister, Mre. Todd, widowed herself, as been with her almost ever since ny brother died. They are alone in the big house, but every day until last December, Robena Bridges (mother of Clifton who handled deliveries at the store) came and cooked and did the chores. I had a letter from Rlizabeth today tell- ing of Robena's death Sunday. They have help mornings, one woman two mornings and another three. But I sent her your Route number in case one of these fails. The hay fever does not trouble any more since the Duke treatment but the asthma seems pretty bad. Robens had been there I think about 15 years before my prother died - I don't know what they would’ have done without her. I see there is to be a wedding at your cousin's house.

The Supreme Court seems to have sWallowed up all other checks and balances, It was Mary Knox Roseborough who sold to John Fitz- / gerald. She was daughter of the-tmmigreonts John and Jean Gracy Knox, and married John, son of Rev. Form Kosebrouch,. He died Nmwxxk®x in 1777, leaving land to Mary as lone ae she didn't marry again, which she Cid, Dee. 7, 1791, to Abel Armstrong. I think it wes iv view of her marriage tyat she parted with the Place. Margaret, widow of Rev. John, died 1785, Her will at Salisbury is interesting. I thin? she may have lived in the old houge occupied in the 4 | “6 £ childhood of my ghia by Somerset Holland.

Rose- brough, July 7, 1808 = November 9, 1882; ana Doro Kosebrouzh Harrison, July 1, 1918, This last date is all there is on the marker, T have telerhoned ons of the older residents of Madison who advised m that she was a ‘very good friend of the Rosebrouchs and states that ‘tb. re were two daughters, Cora and Lizzie born to the union of T. B. Rosetrou- and N. K, xosebrough. I could not obtain any information as to where these people lived before moving to Madison or rather near Madison as they lived two miles away.

Most of them by HOMER KEEVER North Carolina’s newest outdoor pageant, Lincolnton’s epic of the Battle of Ramsour’s Mill, tells a story of. especial interest to the people of Statesville and Iredell county Ramsour’s Mill was, for the people of this section, the main fight of the revolution. signing of the Declaration of Inde-! pendence, July 4, 1876, Prof. E. F. Rockwell made ag address at the courthouse in which he told the story of the Battle of Ramsuor’s Mil]. Professor Rockwell's address was published in detail in ‘the fol- lowing two issues of the Lahdmark. In that address he told all that he had been able to gather through the incessant questioning of the children of the men who had, fought in that battle, \ Professor Rockwell pictured Ramsour’s Mill as a pattle pri; marily of the men of western Row- an, the part that became Iredell. He also pictured it as the outstand- ing contribution of this section to- ward the winning of the revolution. A few Iredell men were in most of the southern engagements; but most of them were involved at Ramsour’s Mill. The battle of Ramsour’s Mill was primarily an attempt of the whigs in this section to prevent the tories from joining Cornwallis in South Carolina. Col. John Moore had come inté the back country this state to raise as many as he could to support the British, and flocking to jein him. Rockwell pic- tures most of them that went from this section as primarily horse theives and ruffians who were in danger of being punished if they remained at home. To prove this, "| he noted that many of the horses "| found at the tory camp were identi- Just who these tories were Rock- he places as from Hunting Creek near the Brushy Mountains, Actual ; | ly a thorough search of the r ~ | cords and traditions of Iredell does "| not show any tory background If any of the Ramsour’s Mill tories were Iredell] men, their stories have been lost. It was necessary for the Iredell men to act quickly at Ramsour’s Mill. To their rear was Col. Bryant, of the Davie county section of Row- an, who was suspected of quietly encouraging the tery cause and of having: won many converts to it. They were right in their suspicions, for by the time the battle was over at Ramsour’s Mill, he had gathered his men together and it was necessary for the Iredell men | to attemptoto.deal with him, too. yi At Rameour'gMill an advance guaré, of some 300 or 450 men who had been able to come on horses, came up to the camp of the tories far ahead of the rest of the militia On the 100th anniversary of the}. who came on foot with the com- manding gencral, Griffith Ruther-' , ford. It was this advance guard who in the histoty books with the vic- tory, objected to a quick attack; ng| he preferred to wait on the main .| body of troops. Capg. Falls, Capt. Armstrong, and Capt, Brevard all were insistant on taking advantage of the element of surprise and at- NN actually did most of the fighting. Sees According to Rockwell, Col.

Aug. 10,1805) ‘*~~ was born in Ireland, the only child of John Rutherford who had gone to Ireland from Scotland with his uncle Samuel. Samuel had been exiled on account of writings offensive to the Episcopal bishops. There John married a Miss Griffith, the daughter of a prominent Wetsh*family, then political exiles. The couple embarked for America with their infant son, whom they named Griffith. Both parents died at sea, and the child was taken to relatives of the same name, in New Jersey (See Henry Rutherford). There Griffith was educated and became a surveyor. Soon after maturity he went to Halifax Co., _N.C. to be with Robert Wheatley, a relative, and father of Col. *~ Robert Wheatley, who later became prominent in North Caro- lina and Tennessee. Many historians claim that John went with his uncle to Ireland; others say that the latter never left Scotland. All records give John as having sailed from Ireland for America, and being lost at sea. Griffith Rutherford accompanied Foster, King’s agent under the Earl of Granville, to North Carolina. They rode horscback along with the Gheens, Kincaids, Lawrences, Berk- leys and others, most of whom later became prominent in their new home. He stopped for awhile with the Wheatley family in [ 64} wos Ce, Halifax county where Rutherford was appointed King’s sur- veyor, and was sent to Rowan county by the Earl of Granville, who had large grants of land, both in New Jersey and North Carolina. He went with Innis and Corbin, who also represented the Crown through Earl of Granville. In Rowan county Griffith Rutherford worked with John Frohawk who lived near Salis- bury, and was a man of property and influence. (Taken from “Barr Pamphlet” and furnished by Col. Eugene Bean of Salis- bury, N. C.) By this time Salisbury had become a prosperous center and a place of considerable culture. Many were graduates of Prince- ton, and other colleges. Andrew Jackson studied law at Salis- bury. (Patton’s life of Jackson.) Owing to the physical beauty of Rowan county, many Grif- fiths lived in that section according to the tombstones in “Third Creek Church” grave yard, and other nearby cemeteries, also court records. Some of these must have been related to young Rutherford, through his mother. Griffith Rutherford’s name appears on public records of ‘ Rowan county in 1753 as having bought ewo tracts of land con- taining nine hundred and sixty acres from James Lynn. These tracts were at the south fork of Grants creek on the Yadkin river, seven miles from Salisbury, adjoining the home of James Graham. The Lockes, Catheys, and McCorkles lived near by. These witnessed one another's papers, wills, etc., and became life long friends. Later the community was known as the Locke settlement. “During the year 1254 Griffith Rutherford was married to Elizabeth E. Graham, daughter of James Graham who was one of the early settlers of that frontier country. He came from Ire- land t¢ North Carolina—was born 1714.” Here these two established their home, and their ten children were bor. -2., Rutherford secms to have been quite interested in buying and selling lands. On the records of Salisbury are found eight- een deeds from Griffith Rutherford and wife Elizabeth E. Ruth- erford to various persons, dated July 18 or 19, 1758. The last [65 ] th athlete ee 4 oy 4 i ¢ was June 14, 1792. There are four grants and ten deeds from the state to him. In a will made by Robert Wood, Griffith Rutherford is mentioned as one of the devisees, a recipient less of intrinsic value, than of friendship. : He became a prosperous farmer. A flour mill on his plan- tation. added some income and much convenience for himself and neighbors. : The first Federal census taken 1790, of Rowan Co. “Griffith Rutherford—Free white males including head of family—four. Free white males under: sixteen—one. Free white females in- cluding head of family—three. Slaves eight.” After journeying to Tennessee, the records show he had holdings in Sumner, Maury, Davidson, Wilson, Williamson and later Dyer counties. General Rutherford’s home in Tennessee is thought to have been in that part of Sumner Co. from which Wilson Co. afterwards was formed. Near Lagardo, Tenn. “General Rutherford was somewhat undersized, about 5 ft. 8 inches, but heavily and compactly formed, would weigh about 180 pounds, thin visaged. When he had formed an opinign. he was not easily driven from it. Was of a pleasant and social turn.” (From L. C. Draper's papers.) In Moravian records:—He was an affable man, and showed a friendly spirit toward us.” Also in University of Pa. archives, Moravian papers: “. . . he has red hair, and is an ac- tive, pleasant man, and honest in his dealings.” The latter is still in the original German. “A man of strong character, reso- lute and determined, and of unusual Capacity and sterling worth, he early attained a position of prominence.” (S$. A. Ashe _ nN. C. Booklet, Dec. 1904.) The above descriptions are the nearest we have to a por-. trait of this remarkable man, who did so much to build up his adopted country and establish the freedom of America. “On June 2, 1791, during General Washington's memor- able visit to the south, Governor Alexander Martin, William { 66] Blount, General Rutherford and others gave a dinner in his honor at Guilford court house. Among General Washington's &facious acts was to present Gen. Rutherford with a silver snuff box containing his own favorite brand, of snuff, as a token of friendship.” (Col. Fred A. Olds of Historical Society at Raleigh, N. C.) This is still highly cherished by the de- scendants. Griffith Rutherford was a wise master builder of a nation, a sagacious and skilled warrior, a law giver, a Christian, a good father, a devoted husband, and a man who revered his con- Science next to his God. GRIFFITH RUTHERFORD’S CHURCH AFFILIATIONS Throughout all bis years be wore— “the white flower of a blameless life.” ‘ Griffith Rutherford was a vestryman in St. Luke’s Epis- Copal Church. This Parish church was established 1765. in Rowan county, N. C. That Mathew Locke and others: were ‘mot satisfied was apparent in a long letter from the pastor to Gov. Tryon dated May 29, 1770, which had much to say about the difficulty of making headway without the full co- Operation of these and other prominent men. Griffith Rutherford objected to the strong hand under which the Church of England held the people. It was despotic and tried to control the people in many ways—among them, forbidding dissenting ministers to perform the marriage cere- mony. They made such enormous charges that there was a &teat outcry. The minister's fee alone was £15 which was a large sum in those days. This was in addition to the heavy taxes the churches were forced to send to England. One outgrowth of this was that pastors of other churches on three successive Lord’s Days announced from the pulpit, names of couples, who desired to be joined in the holy bonds of matrimony. This was considered honorable marriage. Griffith Rutherford, Mathew [67] Locke, and others were so incensed that they joined the Presby- terians. Later We rigor of the law was relaxed CO some extent. When Griffith Rutherford was elected a Representative from Rowan County, January 1, 1771, one of the first bills Presented by this new member was to permit any qualified minister to perform the rites of matrimony. After the Rutherford family moved to Tennessee the old Shiloh church of the Presbyterian faith was organized in 1793. Original books show Griffith Rutherford and Mrs. Rutherford were charter members. These names were written by the Gen- eral himself and are stil] perfectly legible, though, ‘of course, the ink has faded and the pages have yellowed with age. Shiloh church, which stood on Hartsville pike east of Gallatin, Tennessee, has been moved a few miles away. General Ruther- ford later joined a congregation near Lagardo which was in Wilson county only three miles from his home. He was a reg- ular attendant: The day before his death he rode this distance tO meeting. It is supposed that he was buried there though no one knows exactly where the &tave can be found. The D.AR. members have searched for it desiring to put a monument to’ the memory of this Patriotic man who did much valiant work both in North Carolina and Tennessee for the upbuilding of his , Country. Mrs. Rutherford was buried in this churchyard. It was the custom in the early days for the members of the congre- 8ation to find their last resting place in the yard surrounding the churches of which they were members. “They put no marker, they raised no stone. They lefe him there in his glory.” WILL OF GRIFFITH RUTHERFORD In the Name of God: I, Griffith Rutherford of the County of Rowan, and the State of North Carolina, being mindful of death and knowing that death is certain, being of sound mem- ory and of good health, Do make and ordain this my last will and testament on this twenty fourth day of July one thousand 2 [ 68 } seven hundred and ninery two.

I do not know where Daniel Holeman was born. I have hoped to get into Los Angeles and see some of the early census tapes. I plan to do this as soon as I can for our Genealogical Society go in often. My mother was Belle Davis Russell, Eve's only daughter, there were seven sons. My mother had cousins living in Oregon but I do not recall thetr addresses and I have not been able to locate her address books. I will keep hunting for them but she left so many boxes of papers and clippings, etc. I have not gotten them all sorted out. One of my mother's cousizis, Elza Lee Holeman died recently at Pasadena, Calif. He was the son of Ezra T. Holeman There is a daughter of Harriett Ann Holeman, Hulda Meyer, still living at San Diego, Calif, Daniel Holeman's brother, Stephen , had a fugm near my grandfather's in Kansas. + 'Mrs. David How gave me your address and I sent her the information herewith. I would like to know where my great grandfather Daniel Holemanswas born and the names of his parents and his brothers and sisters, I do know one of his brothers was Stephen and that is all I know. Most of the relatives with any knowledge of the early family have gone. All the younger ones are as stupid as I have been to get no history of the family, My mother used to tell of her mother stating that one of the older prand- fathers always put an "e" on every word and that is why the family is Holeman instead of Holman, I enclose a stamped envelope if you have any information of this family of ,foleman's regarding Daniel, 1 would appreciate it.

During these 30 years I have traveled the length and breadth of our state, and visitea most of the other states and two foreign coun- tries—also during these 30 years, I have been among those persons in North Carolina who have carried the news of our good-will and inter- racial understanding. On many plat- forms in this state, in other sections of the South, in the North, and in the foreign countries that I have visited I have told audiences time and time again, that in the matter of inter-racial good-will and under- standing North Carolina was dif- ferent from the other Southern states, With pardonable pride I pointed to the progress which we were making in education, in build- ing good roads, in the protection of the life and. property of our citi- zens of all races. Most of all I took pride in telling them that in our state there was a growing sense of liberalism, and an increasing atti- tude of tolerance and friendship between the races. I remember that on one such occasion where people from many.lands were assembled, a white Texan got to his feet in the audience and said: “My friend from North Carolina have you ever heard about Texas? We are on the move and if you don’t watch out we will pass you in the stretch.” That was many years ago, Now we are in the “stretch.” Many voices are being raised pro and con con- cerning the integration of races in the public schools of the South, In spite of the noise and tumult of|t these voices, I still believe that here in North Carolina there is still a sufficient residue of intelligence, good-will, and respect for law and /ha order for us to proceed within the framework of the Supreme Court's] th decision of May 17, 1954. I believe that even now, in the face of the extreme positions being taken by some on both sides, that men of g00d-will, sincerity of purpose, and devotion to the ideals of democracy can work out the problems of ff. tegration in such a fashion as not to violently disrupt the mores of any community. It is not tho late for such citizens to band themselves together and say to those persons who would not admit any Negro to ~ any public school anywhere in North Carolina and to those who Say that integration must take place every- where overnight: “A plague on both your houses.” In a democracy such as ours the essence of good and en- tried lightened citizenship is a spirit of ‘ tolerance of divergent points of view and a willingness to sit down together and in an atmosphere of good will and mutual respect rec- oncile such differences in a spirit of give and take, On the other hand, it is the very antithesis of the democratic ideal to expect one side to a controversy to do all the giving while the other side does all the taking, I know Negroes in North Carolina in all walks of life. I have taught them in the schools, and I have worked with them in factories, on the farms, in hotels, in govern- mental service, and I have served with them in the armed forces of the nation. In recent months I have heard the question of integration discussed and argued among stu- dents and faculty, in darber shops, on street corners, at social gather- ings, in fact everywhere that Ne-| ing this crisis ooo eR 8roes come together. I fee} there- fore, that I have a reasonably ac- curate understanding of how Ne- Broes feel about this most contro- versial subject, It can be stated briefly: 1, Negroes fee] that the Supreme Court’s decision outlawing segre- gation in the public schools is in keeping with our Declaration of In- dependence, the Constitution of our country and finest traditions of our democracy, 2, Negroes feel that in a world Such as we now live in democracy cannot survive in our land nor be encouraged by us elsewhere in the world so long as the basic law of our country permits two classes of citizenship, ; 3. Negroes are not insensitive to the many and varied problems which this decision raises. We are a reasonable people, we are coop- erative and we are a patient people. In such a spirit we offer our minds and hearts. We wil! sit down any- where in North Carolina with Sroups of white citizens who are willing to make a sincere effort to find a solution to these problems. 4. Negroes do not feel that indi- viduals in a democracy haye the right to elect to’ keep some :aws and violate others, Furthermore, we feel that the democratic progess can survive and grow strong only when the leaders in Public and private lite along with their Preaching and teaching of democratic ideals set an example of what they preach and each. 5. Negroes fee] that the right ap- Proach to the solution of the prob- lems involved in integration would ve prevented the Present increase of antagonism and hostility between € races as well as the intra-racial bitterness whi resent is de- veloping between Persons in both the white and Negro race who hold different views regarding integra- tion. We fee] that not too la liberated eplotte ane Sciences to take. such work out such programs Tame work of decision that both steps and within the the Supreme Court’s will be acceptable to integration Negroes in every walk of life. Let me summarize briefly what I have to say: 1, As teachers and students we to accept the May decision as the 2. That the essence of good and enlightened citizenship js tolerance of divergent Points of view and a Willingness to help create a climate of good will in which such differ. ences may be discussed and recon- ciled, : 3. That neither party to a contro- versy of necessity has all the merit on his side, therefore, Solution shoGld be sought in a spirit of give and take, 4.

The Slavery issue than has this school issue. The di something to lose. .The May 17th decision of the United States Supreme Court in which it declared unconstitutiona] the “separate but equal” doctrine is more far reaching than many legal experts realized at the time: And in pursuit of the supposed benefits that may result from these changes, the Southern Negro needs to be careful because he could be headed down a blind ‘alley, and when he reaches the end, he might not even have his pants. The fight for integration is most vicious, ruthless and undemocratic, with absolutely no regard for the rights of others. Some of our would-be leaders have gone stark raving mad in their threats and demands. And it shows to what extent some of our people will go once they have the authority, And any Negro who dares to raise his voice in Opposition to the methods being employed will be lucky indeed if he doesn’t lose his neck. These supposed to be leaders believe in law and order, but they want to make the law and Bive the order: There are 15,000,000 Negroes in this nation, and they are captives of a small group who have every. thing to gain and nothing to lose. Negro leaders throughout this na. tion have been silenced unless their views coincide. Everyone knows how these agi- tators have tried to destroy me with my own People and with the White people. No one has been subjected to more vilification, slander and lies than I have. These agifators went far enough to have the Government seize the mail edi- tion of my paper and the Solicitor General ordered it released. That one incident caused me to lose $2,000, But what they have caused me lose ig not a drop in the bucket the Southern Negro to lose. Following the Supreme Court decision hundreds of Negro teach- ers in Kansas, Indiana, Missouri and Illinois, : etc., lost their jobs, Just last week the Montgomery County, Maryland, Schoo] Board de- aret T. Jones, @ » because under “white teachers would chafe under the supervision of a Negro.” This is just the beginning. The price tag on integration is high, and the advantages are not commen- set examples of the finest type of American citizenship, We of all people will be render- ing a disservice to our state and nation, if we at this time permit ourselves to be led down the road of hostility, personal and group re- prisal, name calling, racial antago- and other undemocratic means by which tyrants and dic- tators gain their ends. The eyes of the world are upon us; the future awaits our decision, it is my fervent wish and prayer that here in North Carolina we will so conduct our-| selves as to merit the blessings of our posterity, and the respect and confidence of freedom loving peo- ple everywhere.

C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1964 Memorandum Received By City Schools Der’ Judge Craven Outlines Three-Step Integration Plan By MILDRED PUSKINS In a memorandum opinion dated and filed August 4, Fed- eral Court Judge J. B. Craven, Jr., outlined and approved a three-step plan for the com- plete integration of Statesville City Schools. The lengthy memorandum was received Tuesday in the of- fice of Supt. A. D. Kornegay and R. A. Collier, Sr., attorney for the city school board, and implementation has already be- gun. Letters to parents of chil- dren who Will enter the first through the sixth grades, advis- ing them that the date for seek- ing reassignment to the school of their choice has been extend- ed, are being prepared. Enclos- ed in each letter, supposedly to go to Negro parents, is a sim- ple form on which request for reassignment will be listed. The court's action came as a result of a suit brought in fed- eral court last March by the parents of 11 Negro students seeking assignment to formerly i all-white schools. The plaintiffs had asked for injunctive relief since the request was to apply to this coming school year. The judge held pre-trial conferences Jast Wednesday. On agreement of the two parties, the case was heard last Friday be- fore Judge Craven upon the bas- is of stipulations and testimony offered in the record. In his memorandum the judge ded to show the contrary: both faculties, white and color- ed, are strong. The court furth- er found that no evidence was offered tending to show that schools attended by Negro chil- dren were generally or in any way inferior by reason of plant facilities or teaching staff to the schools attended by white children. “But equality is no longer the test,” the court’s opinion points out but, even so, plaintiffs are entitled to prefer a school at- tended by white children. The judge further pointed out that the only relevance of such testi- mony bears upon the speed with which the plaintiffs and their class are entitled to have their remedy. So, the court found that the relative merits of the schools with respect to physical plant and facilities and teaching staff are sufficiently si- milar so that disparity is not a factor with respect to the speed of the remedy that must be afforded. The court ruled that teachers and administrative school per- sonnel are not within the class represented by the plaintiffs, Land that they canndt assert or ask’ protection of the constitu- tional rights of the teachers and suit nor within the class. The plan, as approved by the court, is as follows: That a free reassignment plan be immediately initiated for grades one through six, and that any Negro child whd ap- plies by August 15, 1964, to be transferred. to another school may be transferred as a mat- ter of course; that the same plan be extended in September 1965 to the 10th, llth and 12th high school grades upon appli- cation by any Negro pupil on or before July 1, 1965 that the same free transfer plan be ex- tendéd to any Negro pupil in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades beginning in September, 1966. The board proposes that ap- plications be freely available in the principal’s office and super- intendent’s office and that they will be routinely granted. The FIRST SHIPMENT—Leonard Moretz, right, pres Carolina Mills at Maiden, looks at the first unloaded ba rayon staple to arrive at the firm’s plant. The 14% others who are not parties to the NO. 186 application will be extremely ; board {s right but whether ft simple—containing the name of | the child, the school in which he may be presently enrolled, and the school to which he would like to be transferred. No reason need be assigned by is. so plainly wrong to evi- idence a lack of good faith, So, | it will be approved by the applicant, and no burden- | some administrative procedures or hearings will be required. It | is not even necessary under the | plan as proposed that the appli- | cant come’to the school offic- jals, but, instead, it may be mailed to the school board. The court pointed out that the proposed}; plan demonstrat- es ‘“‘that this is not an ob- stinate school board bent upon evading its duty hy denying that it has ‘one.”’. The only question before the court was whether this plan is a reason- able one and continues that “‘it cannot be held as a matter of law that the deep-rooted prob- lems in Statesville . . .can be better resolved by this district court than by a conscientious school board honestly endeavor- to grant the plaintiffs and the class they represent constitutional rights to which they are entitled.” The court ruled that the ques- | | with the plan, that is, the judge ruled, the proposed plan is a “reasonale one,” and the court as it is administered in POM De of so long good faith 1 the free choice is kept The court furtt ruled that the plaintiffs must make their application for reassignment along with all others.

Another issue also is involved in the estimate of “permanent” residential areas. Proposals for school reorganization frequently Prompt bitter protests that re- location-6f a school would mean the death of an old community. There is no validity to this argument. It is pointed out emphatically that schools are neither established nor main- tained to preserve communities. Whether a thrives or withers is beyond the power of the school to control, and it is not a function of the school to together a which - ‘aan . Other factors being equal, schools do and should add to the . vigor with which cohesive neigh- borhoods develop, by being an- other focal point for cooperative work. Symptoms of community spirit appear in activities other than schools, however. The health clinic in Harmony is an example.

The center of this rectangle is roughly one mile north of Charles. K has been noted that new school centers should be located away from expressways rathor than in their path. Accordingly, inquiry was made as to the ulti» mate extension of the interstate Highway % north from Stales ville. In a telephone conversation on April 15, 1960, with the State Highway Commissioner's _Chied Locating Engineer in Raleigh, it was learned that tentative plans eall for picking up Bypass Hi east of Statesville where it now inles sects about four miles north, and continuing the highway north ward to run between Charles and Turnersburg and east of Olin While there is neither certainty hor assurance as to the finality of these plans, they are the only reasonable safeguard on thig question of avoiding throughways, The center of the defined ree tangle lies at maximum walking distance from this proposed route. All-weather roads from five directions intersect at three points very close to the center of the rectangle (Rural Roads 1892, 1919, 1891, 1894, and 1898). School bus routes operate over ali these roads. A school center in this vicinity, therefore, would have ready access from all directions, Finally, distances were measur- ed from the » coats boundaries te “the ténter of the rectangie. The greatest distance lies on the ea» tern county border between high ways 64 and 70, where it is ap proximately 16 miles to the rec tangle’s center, 16 miles te Troutman, and less than 10 miles to Statesville, all measured along asphalt roads.

We commend it to you for your careful study. Three public school systems conduct educational programs in Iredell County. Each of the three provides high school opportunities through Grade 12. The county seat city of Statesville is an in- dependent school administrative unit with boundaries coterminous with the municipality. The city of Mooresville in the southern part of the county also operates an independent school adminis- trative unit, but the boundaries of the latter extend beyond the city limits. All other areas in the county are served by the county school system. This study is concerned pri- marily with the high schools op- erated by the County Board of Education. However, the high * schools of the two cities are also of interest to the extent that they either serve now or have the capacity to accommodate youth living outside their boun- daries. The specific question to be answered is, “How can any needed reorganization of high schools in Iredell County best be designed?” In order to determine this answer, answers to several related questions must be found: 1, What evidence is there that the high schools need reorganiza- tion? 2. What are the characteristics of desirable high schools? “3. How are these related to school facilities, pupil popula- tion, grade grouping, and pupil transportation in lredell County? 4. If reorganization is indicat- ed, what is the optimum use to be made of existing facilities? 5. What facilities can or should the city systems make available to county youth? ‘Pupil Population Once a school facility is con- structed it stands for a long time. The wise school community pro- jects its educational plans as far into the future as it is possible to .see before it undertakes any “permanent” construction pro- gram. Such plans, of course, are subjected periodically to review, to revision in the light of chang- ing conditions or experience, and to continuous forward projection as new data become availabie. Thus, a progressive school sys- tem is always in possession of a long-range plan for school de- velopments scheduled over per- iods of five ten, or even twenty years. The records of past ex- perience, modified by present and foreseeable conditions, pro- vide the best basis for anticipat- ing the future. School plant facilities are re- quired in direct proportion to the numbers to be housed. Futuie needs therefore may be estimat- ed on the basis of school enroll- ment data. Two basic sets of data are being used in this study. One is the record of enrollments by school centers for each year since 1948. This record of 12 years constitutes a complete turnover in school population, a complete school “‘generation’’ of pupils. , The second set is a record of to- “ tal county enrollments by years, by schools, and by grades. Such a record permits one to follow the progress of a given group of children as they move from grade to grade through school. The progressive loss or drop in enrollment gives the table the name of. ‘Rate of Survival,” which readily shows the school system's holding power (or lack of it), From these two types of data, the sizes of ‘schools and grade groups are immediately apparent. In following the trend in a given school, the reader is cau- tioned that pupils are transfer- red occasionally by grade groups, and. that a loss in one school may be offset by a gain in an- other. For example, in 1952-58 Brawley High School was conso- lidated with Troutman, as was Barium Springs High School in 1957-58. Ebenezer was a five- grade school in 1948-49. The sixth grade was added in 1949-50, the seventh grade was: added in 1952-53, and the eighth grade was incorporated in 1957-58. When Sharon was rebuilt in 1956-57 two elementary school classrooms of pupils were moved from Scotts. It is surprising to find that to- tal enrollment has increased only 10.4 per cent since 1948-49, from 4,650 to 5,134. It is surprising be- cause this time interval includes the full impact of any birth rate trends between the low of 1942- 43 and the supposed peak of 1953-54. Municipal annexation and pupil transfers may account partially for this slow growth, but in many cases elsewhere the increases in births have offset such losses. It is important to study enroll- ment trends in elementary schools when planning . high school programs, for it is out of these lower schools that the future high school population is drawn, Data show that no signi- ficant increase ‘in high school populations is now in sight in the lower grades. The median membership for the seven schools was 241, with a range from the 377 at Troutman down to thé 145 at Central. All of these high schools include Grade 9. In contrast, Moores- ville and Statesville operate three-year senior high schools ef vgrams~all under. school. Grades 10-12, and each is larg: er than any of the county's schools. One obvious fact about the high schools of Iredell Coun- ty is that they are excesesively small on the basis of all recog- nized criteria. A better high school program might result in increased holding power and some slight growth in size. School Size and Program We wish to make it clear that the instructional program in Ire- dell County high schools was not a part of this study. No effort was made to observe or to ga- ther data about curriculum and teaching. Nevertheless, school centers and physical facilities have only one function—to foster the program—and they can be studied intelligently only in terms of school activities. School leaders in Iredell County can provide factual information to enable the boards and citizens to make a practical interpretation of the following general princi- ples in their application to Ire- dell County. Operating a school center has two purposes: to assemble enough pupils in one place to give them the kinds of education- al experiences they need; and to do it economically. Theoreti- cally, it would be possible to employ enough teachers and pro- vide facilities to operate a small school in which every child could be given the school subjects he alone needed. One trouble is that no school system could af- ford to waste the money it would cost if a more economical or- ganization could be devised, A second drawback is that the mere study of school subjects fails to satisfy some really im- portant needs of youth. No thoughtful parent wants his child to grow up without learning to. compete, get along, and feel at ease with others of different backgrounds, skills, and inter- ests. No one wants a child to de- ‘ velop into either a “city slicker" or a “country hayseed.” Child- ren are helped'to reach maturity with poise and confidence and firm convictions when their school life gives them the broad- ening experience of working with others from varied home back- grounds, different goals and am- bitions, and different study pro- guid... ance and su The size of school has much to do with determining whether ganized ly. What, then, is the desirable size of a secondary school? - Desirable School Size Throughout the nation there is 5 EEE. ly high per capita cost (plus the most inadequate of programs) in high schools with enrollments of 50, 100, 150, and 200. In fact, per pupil costs go down rapidly as school size increases up to about 750 studerits. Around this point, costs begin to level off until a size of about 1,500 is reached, when unit costs begin to rise slightly because of highly specialized courses. In the mean- time, offerings and opportunities for the individual expand § in direct proportion to school size. Grouping for Instruction American public schools are generally classified as being ele- mentary and secondary, but there is variety in the way grades are grouped to make up these categories. Because the national practice considers sec- ondary education to begin about the time a student develops from childhood into youth (the onset of adolescence), elemen- tary education is considered to include Grades K-6, and second- ary education is concerned with Grades 7-12. There is ample jus- tification for this practice. Historically, elemeritary school centers were widely distributed before public high schools be- came numerous. As months were added to the length of term and years were added to the pro- gram, a pattern of 84 grade groupings became common. Most states generally plan until 1910-20. Both the ex- tension of high schools into rural areas and the growth of the junior high — idea indirectly pate i noe Ea focbion A school system theoretically ean provide all the experiences needed in Grades 7 and 8 in com junction with any other grades. In actual practice, it has been demonstrated universally that the eight-year elementary school is least likely to do so for num- erous reasons. Consequently, Iredell County is advised to clas- sify Grades 7 and 8 as part of secondary education, and to group and serve these grades accordingly. The choice then lying between 3-3, 2-4, or 6 year high schools is determined on the basis of numbers of students, capacities of existing facilities, and program offerings. Small secondary schools might well be 6-year high schools.. Larger schools might be on a 2-4 basis when. demanded by facilities. Otherwise, three-year junior and senior departments are indicated. Existing Facilities Iredell County high schools dis- play a peculiar geographical dis- tribution. South of Statesville, Troutman is the only county-op- erated high school and is central- ly located. North of Statesville, all high schools are dispersed around the borders of the county and there is no centrally located high school center. This disper- sion no longer makes sense. It is quite important to recog- nize that all of the high school facilities operated by Iredell County come nearer to being adequate for Grades 79 than they are for Grades’10-12. This observation made by direct in- spection in each high school leads to the recommendation that as a general policy, existing high school centers should be operated through Grade 9 and Grades 10-12 should be removed to fewer, larger, and more com- plete new centers. Since the one exception to this policy appears to be justified at Troutman, then this one senior high school cen- ter could serve all of Iredell County south of Highway 64 Ex- pressway with the cooperation of Statesville and Mooresville, and one other senior high school cen- ter could serve all of the county north of Highway 64. Celeste Henkel School has an auditorium surrounded on three sides by the intermediate rade classrooms. The primary grades are housed in a wing to the left, and the high school derartment is attached on the right. An old gymnasium of PWA or CWA con- a is on the end.

Central School affords an at tractive school setting. The grounds are sodded with grass, the play areas are developed, and a cyclone fence separates the premises from the road. The elementary unit is built of plas- tered walls and composition ceil- ing, and includes an auditorium. At the end of the unit is the new- er gymnasium with the cafeteria underneath. The high school unit is newer, and represents a good cheap quality of construction. The separate large shop area for ee agriculture is of brick Se eee, frame ar celas ses an overflow fim the elementary school department. Cool Spring School has the pri- mary grades housed in a separ- ate, split-level unit. The inter- mediate grades are in an old 8- story structure of undetermined vintage. The high school unit is newer and of low-cost materials. Separate structures provide a good shop area, two new rooms for business eduaction, and a home economics cottage. Except for the newer business educa- tion and older intermediate sec- tions, all construction appears to be of 1935-50 design. Harmony School is dispersed around a horseshoe or semicircu- lar driveway. A new eight-room unit accommodates the primary grades. Grades 7 and 8 are lo- cated in a separate old, obsolete structure. The intermediate grades are in a section apparent- ly built during WPA days. The high school is quartered in a two-story structure erected in 1922. A separate new but small brick and steel gymnasium has been provided. The vocational agriculture shop, a separate vo- cational classroom, and a two- story home economics depart- ment are located in old build- ings. Scotts School has elementary and secondary departments hous- ed in an old, combustible two- story central unit. The wooden stairs and the center posts down the middle of the narrow corri- der are especially objectionable. To the east is the combination auditorium-gymnasium. A one- story building (Rosenwald School pattern) provides eight rooms for classes, office, laboratory, and typing. To the rear is a new two-room primary unit. To the rear of this and even with the frame agriculture building is the frame bandroom. An old 2'%- story structure houses the home economics department. The grounds are rocky and relatively unimproved. Nothing at this cen- ter could serve as the nucleus separate cateteria and, IREDELL COU SCHOOLS WHITE PUPILS ONE DOT O ONE CHIL @eacrs i-8 1960 | SCALE OF Mies STUDENT DISTRIBUTION — This will nete that Union Grove draws achool center.

An aii- ditorium is located in the high school unit. The newest structure is a separate brick gymnasium. An old frame building is occu- pied by the home economics de- partment — foods and clothing laboratories, and the vocational agriculture program, with wood shop and metal shop. Troutman School has three ba- sic units. The primary school building cares for Grades 1-4, and appears to be of pre-World War II age. The intermediate unit for Grades 5-8 is a 1'2-story building, somewhat older, and has attached the auditorium- gymnasium. The high school unit (1957) is a modern two-wing facility, representing the only adequate basic high school areas seen. Facilities are occupied at near capacity, the site has poor topography, and one might wish that fewer children were located on these school grounds. Even so, children from Shepherd Schoo! are divided between Troutman and Mooresville high schools. Mooresville, the incorporated city which operates an indepen- dent school district, enjoys the most adequate high school facil! ties in Iredell County. The 2-3 story split-level building is about ten years old, with the gymna- sium being new. Still needed is an auditorium and, if additional county youth were to be served, more classrooms and_ possibly additional vocational depart- ments. Statesville High School is crowded now. The structure re- flects its World War II construc- tion and the scarcity of mater- ials. It has an auditorium and a gymnasium of reasonable ade- quacy.

THE INFLUBACE of their friends —— peer group influence, sociologists call it — also is an important factor in the behavior of these students, helping to ex- plain why school disruptions and violence are almost always group activities. *‘What their friends think is of tremendous importance to these kids,”” Grimsley Principal R.

He just tot ack ied said hilinende s tremendous change in his atti- tude towards school, that he was going to try hard and not cut any more classes. “Well, he left my office and just outside the door he ran into a friend of his, who talked him into.cutting.his next class.” THE SCHOOL day, however, . takes only a small part of a stu- dent’s time, even when he goes to class everyday. What happens at home, or doesn’t happen, is given more weight by some, in- eluding John King, a counselor ~ at the new Greensboro Optional School, an alternative education program, temporarily located at Grimsley, for dropouts and oth- er students who are either turned off by a regular high school or can’t behave in one. “| think it’s important to re- member that in many cases these kids have been virtually on their own since they were maybe six or seven years old.
