GEORGE BROWN. RETIRED
RAILROAD MAN AND
BANKER OF KIMBALL
First man to Bring Automobile
Into the City of Keystone

The name of George Brown,
of Kimball, is a synonym for
squareness. For many years
this same Gorgre Brown has
been connected with one of the
largest and most outstanding
corporations in the country
The Norfolk an d Western.
From childhood, as it were. to
old age, George Brown has been
an incessant and accomplishing,
loyal, faithful and overture
servant of the Norfolk and
Western Railway Company.
His number of years, according
to the rules and regulations
have justified Mr.. George
Brown to become a retired EN-
ployee with honors and credits.
There is not hardly less than
than dozen good women and
bad men who have not become
confident friends and believers
in Mr.. George Brown, all of
which may have been based up
on George Browns cleverness,
his assiduity to business meth
DDS and for his economic ideas
of being able to take care of the
other fellow when he might not
be able to take care of himself
George Brown also bears the
honored distinction of being the

DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION
STATISTICS

T h State Department of
Education, in keeping with its
belief that patrons desire to be
informed on school affairs, will
from time to time, give stats
tics ON revenue for schools, ex-
penditures by state and counties
per capita costs on enrolment
and average daily attendance,
COMPARE on of costs with for
mer years, additional h DO |
facilities through the transport
alton and increased length of
term, and other matters of
general interest to the public.
The departments Of education
in state and county are pleased
to answer questions concerning
school affairs and to give any
information available.
The accomplishments of the
shcool system with increased
advantages through the length
ened term and increased trans
portation facilities with less
money than was previously
available are particularly graft
flying. In 1929-30 the average
ter in the state was 1866 days;
in 1896 81, 172 days. In 1929
30, 1885 students were trans
ported to and from school. Last
year, the number had increased
to 90, 1886. The per capita cost
for 192930 were: on enumera-
ton S44.82: on enrolment $68.-
SO: on average daily atten-
dance STAB. For last year
! the costs on these same items
were: on remuneration $42.54 ;
ON enrolment $53.54; on aver
age daily attendance $60.70.
Should the cost of the lengthen-
ed term and transportation
! facilities be subtracted, the per
| capita costs for the last year
would be considerably reduced.
The satisfies on these items
! for Mcdowell county reveal the
| following: Length OF term
| for 1929 30, IT'S days, for 1886
l37, 173 days; the number of
pupil transported in 1929 30
l2.895, for 1861, 5,771. The
per capita costs for 1929-3C
lwere on enumeration, $52.42
Ion enrolsment, $6147; on aver
lage daily attendance, S75.25
For 1861: on enumeration
