Report of County School Superin-
Gq tendent
l hand you herewith a report of the
schools of Terrell county from Jan.
/, to Dec. 81, 1921:
! During the spring term fifteen
white schools were operated. During
the fall term fourteen white schools
were operated, Beulah school having
! been absorbed by the Pleasant Hill
school, Total enrolment for whites
was 1871, with an average attendance
of 821 A total of 1917 was enrolled in
the high school grades The schools
were maintained for nine months or
1870 days. Forty-three teachers were
employed
Thirty-six co1ored schools were
operated for 1870 days with an enroll
ment of 3,64O and an average attend
ance Of 2,071. Sixty-three teachers
were employed.
| On the whole the year was an I'M
usually good one for the schools. The
teaching force was strong, and for the
most part the teaching was of high
order. There was a noticeable increase
in interest and cooperation on the
| part of patrons throughout the county.
1t is needless to say that at the pres
ent time the schools are passing
through a crisis on account of the f.
nancial condition that exists through
out our section. This is inevitable, be-
cause the schools can no more pros
per than the people who support them.
A general policy of retrenchment is
being put into effect, and this has
seemed fair and wise not only to the
men who compose your board of edu
cation who by the way have given
the matter much serious considera
ton but the policy is being sanction
| ed by teachers and patrons who are
really acquainted with finances and fl
nancial questions. The enormous de-
crease in tax values both last year and
this year will give us several thous
and dollars less to put into our schools.
| Now, more than ever, we need the
cooperation of every patron, or the
children will suffer.
| Attached hereto is financial state
ment for the year 1921. You might
also be interested in a statement from
the state school auditor in regard to
the books of the county superintend-
ent Of schools. This statement is also
attached.
