The Wilmington morning star., 1947-10-12

StaffWriter

Every reporter likes an as
Segment to do a circus story.
On the whole it is purely a case
of digging into a publicity
agents handouts for such ex-
pressions as "stupendous extra
vagancas" and putting them
into paragraphs together with
the antics of monkeys, lions and
tigers.
But when Cole Brothers snow
ed in Wilmington during the
past week the editor said:
Bring in something new"
and he meant it.
So early in the morning a sur
vey of the lot was made, and
that survey disclosed nothing
but an empty expanse.
While the cars were being I'M
loaded an idea struck:
"Why not parallel the circus
with some everyday activity?'
And so this yarn was born.
1t is early morning on a cir
Gus lot and a few roustabouts
are lounging about waiting for
work of the day to begin.
An empty lot stares them in
the face, a lot which within
hours must be transformed into
a tent city where thousands OF
persons might view the cne-day
showing.
AT the same time newspaper
people were entering their
downtown offices and yawni n
forms stare at them, forms
which would have to be fillec
within four and one-half hours
so that a waiting reading-publie
might be informed of the hap
penings of the day.
AS tents are raised hurriedly
trucks and wagons put into pc
sition, so are stories being com
piled by reporters, desk meI
and teletype machines and sen
to the composing room to b.
set.
All is a-bustle at the circus
grounds and in the paper office
Printers have laid cut the
forms and completed the pre-
paratory work much as rousta
bouts have done in driving
staes and raising tents.
As the final stories are PLACED
into forms the final seats are
erected in the Big Top. IT,
circus is ready for the show ant
the paper is ready for the pres
ses to roll.

Brunswick Maintaining Five
White Consolidated Schools

schools are in Southport, Shall
lotte, Waccamaw, Bolivia and
Leland.
There are II Negro schools.
One of these is known as the
Brunswick, County Trainin G
school. The other II colored
schools are La Savannah, Royal
Oaks, Cedar Grove, WaccmaW,
Longwood, Chapel Road, Piney
Grove, Phoenix, Leland, North
West and Navassa.
In the white consolidated
schools, there are 1856 pupils.
In the II colored schools are L.
TIA pupils. This makes a total
of 4,5780 enrolled in the Bruins
vic county schools.
1t is of interest to contrast the
enrolment in the First grade
and in the Twelfth grade. TAX
ing the five white consolidated
schools and the colored training
school, there are 800 in the First
grade and 1872 in the Twelfth
grade. Bearing in mind this is
only the second year for the
Twelfth grade in North Carolina
nevertheless there is a loss OF
258 pupils between the First and
the Twelfth grades. Due to the
operation Of a compulsory edu-
cation law extending through
sixteen years Of age, the pres
ent first grade may make a
much finer showing by the time
it is the Twelfth grade.
Another point of interest is
that the 1872 enrolled in the
Twelfth grade include 81 boys
and 81 girls. For the white pu-
pills there are IS boys and 81
girls. For the colored pupils
there are Is boys and 20 girls
The colored pupils in the
Twelfth grade have a far larg-
err percentage Of boys than do
the white pupils.
There are three white voca-
tional education departments To-
Gated in the S%hallotte, Bolivia
and Waccamaw schools and one
in the Training school for the
Negro pupils. There are two
home economics departments at
the Shallotte and Waccamaw
white schools. Commercial
courses are given for the white
pupils in the Shallotte and Wac
camaw schools and will be Of
fered next term at Leland.
A new building is nearing
completion for the Longwood
colored school and a list of pros
pective students has been sub
mitted to the state with the re-

quest that a High school teacher
be added next term. Every
school building in the county is
now being repaired and this
work will be completed during
the school term.
There is athletic training CIV
en- by M. c. Freeman at the
Waccamaw school; H. T. San
ders at Southport; H. c. Stone
and Earl Bellamy at Shallotte;
Professors Young and Burton at
Bolivia; and Holland Manning
at Leland.
The Southport, Bolivia and
Leland schools have lunch
rooms supported with Federal
aid and the Shallotte school has
one financed Independently.
A malaria clinic has been
completed in each school and a
clinic for adults was held al
Southport. The State Depart
ment of Public Welfare and the
county cooperated in making
these clinics possible. Each year
a pre-school clinic is held to
guarantee all children entering
school for the first time have
been vaccinated.
At every school there is an
active parent : teacher associa-
ton. The county employs 80
white and 48 colored teachers.
1t operates 48 school buses.

There are no white one-teacher
