E. H. Aull.

To E. H. Aull, County Superintendent
of Education, NeWperry, S. G.
Dear Sir: beg. to submit herewith
my report as rural school supervisor
for the past five months. In doing so
I desire to express to you my sincere
appreciation of the kindness and con-
.sideration extended me by yourself
and the people among whom I have
labored.
I have found the work pleasant and
exceedingly interesting. The people
in the rural districts are anxious and
willing to do what they can to i'm
prove the schools and conditions sur
rounding rural life, and are very ap-
preciative of any assistance and CO.
operation in bringing these things
about. In the way OF suggesting, help
ing, cooperating, intelligently point
ing the way, there is much that may
be accomplished in the betterment OF
the schools and in the making OF
rural life more comfortable and more
desirable.
1 began work only in January Of
this year 1 have visited twenty-six
school districts, and, as rule, have
spent one week in each district, part
of the time in the schoolroom with
the teacher, and the remainder in Wis
iting the homes of the children. My
efforts have been largely devoted to
creating an interest on the part of the
parents and people Of the communi-
ty in their school, and endeaVoring
TO get them aroused to the improve
ment of school conditions IN their
district. In six. Of these districts,
school improvement associations have
been organized. In one or two dis
tricts no effort was made to organize
an improvement association, because
the county superintendent Of educa-
ton suggested that efforts be made TO-
unite these to an adjacent districts
In the districts where associations
were organized, their efforts to raise
money for the betternent Of the school!
and improvement of 8he school huadA
ing are very active. = :
I'M the districts which I visited
practically all, OF the patrons Of the
district and friends of the school at.
tended a. meeting which was held at,
the sehoolhouse at the end Of the
week. The county superintendent al
ways attended these meetings and
made a talk to the school. In most
cases nearly all of the patrons attend
ed and manifested much interest in
the improvement of their school.
In the following districts during
this year, four mill tax has been
voted, looking to the establishment OF
a. Rural Graded School: Ponaria,
Jolly Street, Trinity, Sil7erstreet'
Jalapa and Zion. Two mill taxes were
voted in St. Paul and Mccullough dis
tricts.
Six thousand dollars in bonds have
been voted in Chappells school dis
trict; five thousand dollars, in Whit
mire: four thousand in silverstreet;
and three thousand I've hundred in
Pomaria for the erection Of new
