COUNTY TEACHERS
CHOSEN BY BOARD
Madison-co. VIII Have 300 High
School Graduates This Year
Less Than 100 Last Year

The County Board of Educa-
: ton has decided to require all
teachers to open the scnool pro-
: gram in the morning with devo-
tional exercises. All schools will
: be required to have six hours of
actual work exclusive of recesses.
The teachers are required to- visit
the patrons and get into closer
: touch with all parents in the dis
trict. The teachers are to or
> ganize parent-teacllers' organiza-
; tions and promote interest in
school work and activities. Once
each month meeting of all the
teachers of the county will = be
held in the court house at Rich
mond. These meetings will be
held on the last Saturday of each
] month, although the first will be
August II. Special speakers will
Iappear on the program at these
meetings and school work and
! difficulties will be- discussed byl
all.
Improvements are being made
at many schools and additional,
rooms added where the attend
ance cannot possibly be accom-
modated in present quarters. Att
! Johnson school, church was Sc
cured because the attendance had
increased so all the children could
not be taught in one building. At
Green Chapel another teacher is
necessary to help handle theI
work.
In the entire county, according
to Superintendent B. F. Edwards,
there were less than 100 high
school students last year. Byj
! having consolidated schools with
! grades and high school work done
in one building, which is equipped
and furnished to meet the needs
of the students, the attendance
has been materially increased. In
! the Waco High School alone this
year, there will be at least so
high school students. Union and
Kirksville will each have 30,
White Hall Is, Speedwell q, and
Richmond and Berea combined,
so. There will be about 300i
high school students this year. /
/ Sentiment in all communities is |
! for the consolidated school. These
buildings are now being equipped |
with water and lights and are be-
coming real community centers.
At Scaffold Cane school, three |
miles from Berea, a grocery store
is run in connection with the |
school. The students keep the !
books which they are taught to /
dd by the principal. This brings !
the parents to the school where
they see their own children, at
work and gives them an interest
III school affairs.
A school census shows: while,
male, 2,421; white, female, 2,297 :
colored, male 4444; colored, female
40, making a total off 5,632
school children. In the county

dren who have movedin from the
