GRAHAM WORKING
ANNUAL REPORT.
COUNTY SCHOOLS
SOME INTERESTING FACTS
BROUGHT OUT IN STATISTICS
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
AVERAGE ATTENDANCE IMPROVES
But a Surprisingly Large Number of
Pupils Enter the First Grade Only
To Drop Out Apparently Forever
From the Schools.
Saturdays Daily Herald.

Prof. John p. Graham, county super
intendent, is busily engaged in making
| out his annual report In this report
Mr.. Graham will show the enrolment,
and average attendance by grades.
races and sexes for the past year. 1t
will also give detailed statement of
the receipts and expenditures for
both elementary and high schools for
the past year, the cost per pupil of
tuition, the value OF school property
an dthe average saalries of the teach
ers.
One of the great problems, as dis
closed in the figures being made in
this report and which the school au-
thorities have had to grapple with In
years past, is that of keeping the
pupils in school. There entered the
first grade of the public school of
the county last year some $500 pupils
While there We're enrolled in the
eighth grade only about 400 pupils.
There biggest decline is between the
first and second grades. 1t is evi.
dent that hundreds go to school only
for the first grade After the second
grade the decline from grade to grade
is more gradual, especially in the
white schools.
While the percentage of average
attendance to enrolment is gradually
showing an improvement in the coun-
ty the figures will develop that con
ditions are yet a long way from what
might be termed ideal. 1t is realized
by the school authorities that the
teachers must have the hearty CO.
operation of the parents if they are
to improve this situation Children
are permitted to remain away from
home on the slightest pfetext thus
cutting down the average attendance,
1t will be surprise to many to
know that in the elementary grades
the boys of the county have made a
slightly better record in attendance
than the girls. --.&

also shown by Chatslrocga, Nash

Bristol, Jackson and some Middle

The lure of the bright lights has
taken young men from the farms by

But that would not affect in any way

There were no appeals from the coun-
ty board to the state board and SO far
as the taxpayers appeared before the
county board the assessments seemed
to be generally satisfactory.
The delay in making out the books
and in starting collections will add
somewhat to the embarrassment OF
