Wilson: -I found it imoossible to answer vo ir letter bsiore : - I this morning. ! am very muf-h ir.ieri ested in the situation at Prosperity. ! and I sincerely hope that the peop'n of that community will realize their ' opportunity to improve their school i by making it what it o ight to be an.! | what it may he made.' Ever since I have known the school the chief difficulty has been the lack of teachingi . force sufficient to maintain a hi^h grade school. To this must be ad! ded the low salaries tha^ have been : paid to the teachers. Fo~ a long time " ! and up until the last two years the j school was running with a 4-mill loca* | tax, while other communities of the ; same size and property valuation wenlevying six miljs, eight mills, and . ten mills. Tt is a fact that for the I current year Prosperity is paying j amongsfthe lowest salaries of th-3 high school towns in the State. Her nrincina! navs S100.00 npr mnni'i her male assistant $60.00 a month, her five women teachers are pain ?4-"?.00 a month eac-h. The town1, of Mayesvills pays her principal a little more than Prosperity is yayinsj this vear to both Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Bedenbaugh. If the peowle of Prosperty intend to maintain a school they had just as well make up their minds to increasing their teachers' salaries # rnle=s I have made some mistake-. raters: of Prosperity in units for thi^: vnar'? 10th yrftrlp is 10 7 Tllis is higher than it has been in recent years. Of course, this does not entit10 t^<1s'1 nupils to collpo-p ontrnnc-3 without examinations. Three years ?so the colleges of the stare, wii'.t pftout two ^vcentions. resolved to accent no students with fewer than 12 units, oxcent by examinations. Several of the rolle<>es since tbat time hav? increase'! th^.r entrance requirements to 14 units by certificte. That if, 14 units rmst be offered or an examination taken. 1 A few words of explanation as In roti'-><r Tho of the -State Department of Education for several years bppn to ?>!ow no credit for less than half a unit, or for less than 60 Wmk a idy With Unif< iy Miller Chai lent of tire-builders will this > in Anrl TKa ] I IIXUIUIIOI, ill v#v* jnuiu x iiv i rights to supply these muc ir and wide today for their unii run under like conditions they v )utrun standard guarantees.

The next year th-3 jj same class as t ie :m\ grade had !'nyr>- g v-al Georgraphv two timos a v:ee'\ jj through the year and Agriculture- IK ewe a week during the year. Since.; rone of these subjects was pursued \ ! lonsr enough for a half unit credit r.r> j j : credit was allowed. r ruin in v punu ui wew, ami i nupc .g that I am wholly unbiassed in the i mattter, it is highly necessary for the* i people to increase their levy for the J I school in order that they may raise*; , their salaries sufficient to employ and ; retain teachers capable of doing first j , class work" and enough of them to do i it. This remark is in no sense in-! tended as a reflection upon any of j the former teachers or the present ; teachers. Rut everybody familiar with j school situation knows that seven j good teachers can not be kept in any j school at tlif salaries Prosperity isj| pr-vins: th's y?ar.

Thery ! \ / . j never was a greater need for efRc":- ; ent schools than now. Xot until Pros- j perit.v besau to draw high school pi1.- j miils f-nm outside the district was it j | more than ibarelv able to meet the j minimum requirements for the h:gn ! school appropriation. Last year there | were 67 pupils enrolled in the high j school. Twenty-seven of these were-j from outside the district. This year j the enrollment has dropped to SO in! . the hie-h school and 20 of these are j I from outside the district. The remaining 24 inside the district would not entitle the school to stat aid. i The school can not afford to lose minils nnr rnri it bold LUUOC U^uoiuv, \j .w these outsde pupils unless them sufficient service.
