Report of J. C. Dukes.
In compliance with the duties as
signed me as county school superln-
tendent I beg leave to hand you
herein a report of the work done and
of the business transacted by the
Terrell County Board of Education
for the year 1918.
Sixteen white schools were operat-
ed during the year with an enroll
ment of 1873 for the primary and
elementary grades and 229 for the
high school grades. Total enrolment
in white school was 962, with an
ovaroua attendance of 672
Thirty-five colored schools were
operated during the fall term. Organ
ization of the colored schools for the
/ fall term was delayed on account of
the epidemic of " influenza. Extra
time was added to the spring term,
1919, to allow for the enforced de-
lay. The total enrolment for the
colored schools was 1854, with an
average attendance of 1,648.
All work was seriously hindered
on account of the epidemic of in
fuenza which swept the country. The
| Board of Education, in an effort to
cooperate with the public in making
health conditions safer, suspended all
schools for a period of two weeks.
Many of the schools lost even more
time than this, The situation was
further considerably complicated on
account of the fact that many pupils
lost additional time because of sick
ness On the whole, however, the
work has been highly satisfactory I'M
der the circumstances, and this was
made possible by a splendid spirit of
cooperation among patrons, pupils
and teachers.
During June, 1918, a school census
of the county was taken, as required
by law. The report shows that there
are in the county, between the ages
of six and eighteen years, 1,133
whites and 3,759 colored. The total
population of the county is 1892.

American Soldiers Are Anxiously
Awaiting the Open Date.
With The American Army or Oc-
cupation, April 29.-American SOL
oilers fond of wild game hunting are
looking forward to July l when the
season for duck, snipe, plover, wild
swans, cranes and other swamp and
bog game fowl begins. 1t was de-
cided recently by Third army Off :
GERS that the soldiers of the Army OF
Occupation should abide by the German
regulations regarding wild game. The
open season for birds of the swamp
will be the first opportunity OF the
summer for the Americans to try
their hand at this kind OF shoot
ing.
But the American soldier will not
be allowed to have the pleasure OF
eating the game even after he has
had victory in the field. To prevent
soldiers from depicting the food sup
ply of the country all meat obtained
as result of hunting by any army
personnel will be turned over to the
poor people of the locality in which
the game was killed.
