| Dear CWr. 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.

of Education for several years

than half a unit, or for less than 60

ihe Prosperity school in the following
ject: h: the Mil grade for tli"
year 1H1 r?-]91G Physics and Agriculture
were siven one period a week:
in the same year Domestic Science
was given one double period a wee:; .
through the year. 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

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. T could place ton iI

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.
