In addition to the special cours-
es started two years ago and last
year, in accordance with the
State Board of Education, some
new ones have been added from
time to time and others have beer,
modified to fit the needs of this

AS a result of this, hundreds of

Are
Transported To
School On Buses
81 Buses Are Operated Over
ILL Miles Daily In Ashe
County

Nearly $500 Ashe county stu
dents are transported to school
daily by the 81 buses which trav-
ell a total of I'LL miles per day.
This means that almost half of
the total enrolment rides buses.
During the 1944-45 school year
the buses travelled 100000 miles.
The important factor is that
they are transported safely and
economically. During the past
Is years no child has been seri-
ously hurt while riding the school
buses, and there have been only
a few minor accidents.
Bus drivers are well-trained
and the buses are kept in excel
lent mechanical condition at the
county garage, under the able di-
rection of Harry Koontz. He is
assisted by Ira Galloway.
The transportation has been
slightly hampered because of war
times, but, as a whole, the system
has covered the necessary ground
and has been operated unusually
economically, too.

While the war has resulted in a

ed list as meeting the required
standards of elementary schools,
by DR.. J. Henry Highsmith, of
the State Department of Educa-
ton.
This gives the county three
schools with this rating. Ma
than's Creek, which was the only

dards for some time, achieved this
rating under the able leadership
of A. B. Hurt, who served as
principal there before being

In All Of The War Effort
Work

Ashe county schools have made
an outstanding record in the war,
effort this year and have achieved
results comparably to those of
much larger places.
The large number of former
students and teachers on the
world battlefronts have proven
special stimulus to war work of
all types among the schools. Dur
ing the year some of the students
left to enter service and others
to engage in work at war plants.
But those who were left showed
enthusiasm and results in all of
the drives toward the winning of
the war and achieving victory.
The central schools took the lead,
but they were greatly aided by
the smaller schools in their re-
spective districts.

ASHE SCHOOLS HAVE
ENROLMENT OF SITS

The total enrolment of the
nine high schools, together
with the 81, one, two and three
teacher schools in the county
this year, is SITS. Of this num-
Der, 698 are in high school and
4,477 in the grades.
This is approximately the
same as it has been for the
past two years, with a slight
decrease from last year. This
decrease, though small, is con-
sidered good, since many stu
dents have dropped out of
school to enter the armed
forces. Others, with their
families, have moved to other
sections to work in war pro-
ductiOn plants.

TEACHERS ACTIVE
IN WARTIME DRIVES

Credit for much enthusiasm
of the students in the war
drives, particularly that of sell
ling bonds to their parents,
the public and in buying their
own, is due the teachers.
They have been untiring i'm
their efforts and have helped
in every way possible.
But not only have they en-
cOuraged the buying of bonds
on the part of others, but have
been regular bond buyers
themselves, in most cases.
In the beginning of the 1913
school year, teachers signed
pledges to buy bonds regularly
and Superintendent A. B.
Hurt said that he had been
highly gratified with their con-
sistent buying.
