This new building is constructed on the sight of the old building which burned several years ago. The base is of the same beautiful stone of the original building and the rest has been construct¬ ed of concrete blocks. Enough of the school has now been com¬ pleted so that all of the 500 children have been moved out of the baracks and are attending classes in the new building. An inspection tour was made by those present before the Dedi¬ cation Service. The service was neld out in the open in a still uncompleted part of the school. On a platform on the east side shaded by the wall of the build¬ ing. About 75 people who are interested in the rebuilding of the Davis School listened and poined in an inspiring Dedi¬ cation Program. The program was opened by a song, “Georgia Land’’ Mr. Law- 'son, the new principal gave a brief history of the beginning of the consolidated school and why h was named for Dutton Davis— Rev. W. M. Bayne gave a most uplifting and bouyant devotional. This was followed by the song; Praise Him! Praise Him! and the dedicatory speech by Mr. T. J. Lance, District Supervisor of Georgia Schools. Mr- Lance told us that 10 years ago that there had been ah appropriation of one million dollars ih tne State Bud¬ get for schools, last year the budget was 37 million and this year under the minimum Found¬ ation Program the schools were asking for 83 million. Under the present State set up there were no funds to assist the counties in a building or ex¬ pansion program and part of this this 83 million would be set aside for this purpose, “this is a lot of money,” he told us, “we think of Georgia as a poor state but do you know that the people in Georgia spent 127 million dol¬ lars on liquor, cigarettes, cos¬ metics and other luxuries last year?” Mr. Lance also told us that Davis had 500 pupils this year 100 of whom were High School pupils. This gives Davis enough enrollment to be eligible to be an accredited High School and he urged those interested in the school to try and get on the accredited list as soon as The program closed with the singing of Onward Christian Soldiers, the Davis High School Mater and a prayer by Rev. Bayne. Hooker News Items Mrs. Thelma Bell Mr. and Mrs. Herman Winfrey Chicago, Illinois are guests of relatives here.
