Statement by the County
School Board Of Shrn Ca

On April 9th the Board of Super
visors laid the levies for the coming
Iyear. The County School Board after
making very careful study of the
needs of the schools for the coming
year asked the Board of Supervisors
for Csc operating levy. The Board
N Supervisors made 57Ac operating
levy. This levy will produce nearly
5000. 90 less revenue than the School
Board thought necessary for operating
the schools for the next session.
The County School Board had hoped
to run several of the rural graded
schools n to months where the pa
irons desired such extension and would
maintain legal average, and run all
other schools and months according
to the contract drawn in each case. 1t
will now be impossible to extend the
terms of these schools as indicated
above and will be necessary to cut
from two to three weeks from the
regular terms of 7 and 9 months.
This step will mean the loss of some
of our best and most successful teach
ers as they will go to other counties
where terms are longer and salaries
better. If this happens their places
will have to be filed in many cases, by
teachers with less training and with
little or no successful experience
According to the last general census
of Shenandoah County there are about
$4,000 people in this county. The
100000 referred to above on this
basis would mean little less than q
cents for each man, woman and child
in the county.
There are enrolled in the schools
this year nearly 5000 children in all de-
partments. 1t is question for serious
thought as to whether the people of
this county can afford to lower the
efficiency of their schools at this time
and limit the educational opportunities
|of their children for the small sum of
~ cents per capita of the total popu-
lation of this county.
However the County School Board
will take the funds given it and use
them as economically and wisely as
possible and give the people the best
schools it can give them with the money
lat its command. But the responsibility
for lowering the efficiency of the
school system or for cutting off the
term must rest squarely on the should
|ers of the Board of Supervisors and
not on the members of the County
School Board.
Very respectfully submitted, by
order of the County School Board.
JOSIAH WISMAN, Chairman.
c. G. SKYLES. Clerk.

OF fixing the nnuallevy or assessment
upon the members of this company,
the full report of the treasurer showed
that there was balance on hand of
1876. 63 after the payment of losses
and expenses this year.
The average losses paid by this COM
pany during the past eight years was
about $3C00.O0 per year. The Board
of Directors after full consideration,
decided not to make any levy or as
sessment this year.
1t was apparent that if the losses in
the coming year are about an average
there will still be considerable sur
plus in the treasury after the payment
of such losses and expenses.
The usual assessment on the one
hundred dollars insurance is as fol-
lows-18 cents on first class property
"a cents on second class property and
SO cents on third class property. The
last assessment was made in April,
1921, there having been no assessment
in 1922, and not having any assessment
this year, will make two successive
years in which no assessment has
been made upon any member of
the company.
The amount of the assessment of
1921 was sufficient to pay all losses
and the expenses of operating the
to this date and leaving a
balance on hand of $5576.63.
This company now has about 3500l
and over seven million dol
airs worth of insurance. in Shenan-
ioah County, Southern part of Fred |
erick and Eastern part of Warren. It'll
1as been the policy of the company to |
pay all losses promptly and conduct its |
business in safe and conservative
manner, giving to its members in /
protection at the lowest pos
sible cost, consistent for safety.
