Abstract:

Ellerbe is a little village of approximately 700 people and is located in the sandhills of Richmond County. Ellerbe has the finest public school in the State and it is doing unusual work that brings educators from all over the country to study their method. It is a school of 1,044 pupils and 31 teachers and is part of the state school system, but it isn't ruled, controlled and disciplined by teachers: it is run by the students themselves.
