''o JSoi aug 'oanS ooucl Will open In
September. While all three buildings
are too small, these schools will an
swer very pressing need, and will
greatly relieve the overcrowding in
the following schools: Woodside,
Monaghan, Poe, Samson and Bleach
cry.
"The Brandon building is too small
and out of date. Woodside needs four
more rooms. The overcowding at
Mills-Duncan is acute. The size of
the building should be doubled. Con-
ditions at Judson are ideal. Mona
CHAN is perhaps coming nearer to
meeting the, needs of her pupils than
any school in the state.
instruction is given in all these
schools through the seventh grade.
Such, large sn,inab els from these COM
munities entered the Greenville high
school under the state law that the
city board has decided that he burden
is too great, that s. month per pu-
Pill paid by the state is not ample; so
Greenville will charge all outside pu-
pills tuition the ensuing year.
"This action has caused a move
ment to esablish high school in the
center of the area affected. The plan
Is to consolidate districts ga, 8B, &C,
SD and BE into one district: to levy a
special tax Of II or 18 mills and bonds
sufficient to provide buildings to meet
the needs Of the 5000 children now in
these schools; TO establish a central
high school to be organized along
modern lines.
"This new district will embrace the
following schools in addition to the
new high school: Mills-Duncan, Jud-
son, Brandon, Woodside, City View,
West Greenville, Monaghan, Poe,
Samson, Bleachery, Park Place and
Sans Souci. The proposed area has
an assessed valuation Of over $1,000
900. With the exception of Charles
ton, Columbia, Greenville and Spar
tanburg, it will be the richest school
district in the state. The property
valuation will be higher than any one
OF the 28 poorer counties Of the state.
Thirty-'ne counties have fewer white
children than this section now en-
rolled. It will have more white chill
dreh in school than any school district
II the state:
This new district will embrace nine
several smaller ones and a number
of the largest cotton mills in the state,
OF other enterprises, five large Green
willie snrburbs, and large rural sec
tion. Added to these are exceptional
railroad, ,interurban, street car and
highway facilities, which will contri-
oute to the enrolment of the new
high school. The enrolment should
reach 1000 within three years. This
is the biggest single school PROPOSE
ton in the state today"
Gas at Winnsboro," says the report
on Camden, "the Camden board pro-
vided very satisfactory school
building for the mills a year earlier
than the one in town was erected. This
school is built halfway between Her
mitage and Wateree and serves both
mills through the fourtr grade, after
which the children 60 to the Cen
trai school in town. The school is sup
ported and controlled by the district
board"
AT Lancaster bond issue Of $780,
