CONDITION oE SCHOOLS

York county's educational system Is
an institution that is costing nearly
half million dollars to finance, accord
ing to figures cleaned from the annu-
al report of County Superintendent Of
Education John Z. Carroll for the
school year ending July 1, 1922 which
report has just been forwarded to
John z. Swearingen, state superin-
tendent of education. The report
shows that salaries Of teachers and
other school expenses in the schools
of the county for the period named
totaled $4S7,1S3.3s. The value of white
school buildings and grounds In York
county is given as s546.O75 and the
equipment is valued at $4S,575.
Figures relative to school enroll
ment as given in the report are in
teresting. The total number Of pupils
who were in school the past year was
1851. There were just 81 more col
ored pupils than there were white, the
colored pupils totaling 7,766 and the
whites 7,745. This is a distinct gain
in the number of white pupils in the
schools and shows that the negroes are
decreasing in school attendance since
it has been only three years ago that
the number of negroes enrolled was
1000 more than the whites. Just what
effect the compulsory attendance laws
have had in bringing about this in
crease in enrolment of white pupils
can not be ascertained; but the coun-
ty superintendent believes that the
work of the compulsory attendance Of
hcers is largely responsible for the in
crease in whites.
Five new school buildings were
erected during the year according to
the report. They were in the follow
ing districts: Bethel, Rock Hill, York
Vile, Bullock's Creek and Santiago.
The average number Of pupils to
