REPORT OF TRUSTEES NEWBERRY SCHOOL DISTRICT In compliance with the act governing the Newberry school district we are submitting our report for thi* leision 1921-1922. The session began Sept. 12th with the largest enrollment since the organization of our school system. Below we are ' submitting for your convenience the enrollment by grades with a division ai to boys and girls. You will notice an increase over that of last year, especially is this true of the high tchool. We are also submitting for .irrvnr fnrmiflfaratioTi the average at tendance, which by comparison with that of last year, will show that there hss been a greater increase in th? average attendance than there has b^en ever the enrollment of last session. This is especially gratifying to us. because it proves that our patrons are more than ever interested in the education of their children and realize the importance of regularity, in attendance. This increase in the j average attendance also shows that the health of the pupils has be *n bet- j ter than it has been in past years, j Whooping cough, diphtheria, inf.uen- J 23, and chicken pox have given some trouble in school. A majority of the "parents whose children had contract" id these diseases were careful to dBey the quarantine laws, and co tolerated with the senooi autnoriues in their efforts to keep contagious diseases from spreading. *We have been handicapped by lack-i cf class room space, especially was itfs true in the high school and in the ttegjo school, but .we are glad to re-! "pott that this trouble will have been 'removed by next session. We have just completed a new school building for thie negroes. We wish to com-; m'ent the regroes of our district for; their interest and financial support in this work. You will see from our financial report that the negroes have contributed $1800 for the new school. In additibn to this they have obligat 'ed themselves to raise ar>oui $4uu more. In was through the aid from \ the negroes and to that received from the Rosenwald fund that we were able to erect the size of building we 'Bow have. We are adding six class rooms to the h'gh school, enlarging the audi- J torium to a seating capacity of 600, j and installing a first class heating plant. We completed last January, aj -"'gymnasium for the high school. Our1 policy is to give tfie pupils of our dis-( trict &n opportunity for physical as well as mental development. In addition to Speers Street school ! ' we are enlarging four of the present j xriass room,s auumg two new cwm , rooms, building an auditorium with a Seating capacity of 300 or 400, and 'a first class heating plant of the WarTen Webster system. This addition vili take care of the increase in the ] -gramma? schools for sometime. . j Our report would not be complete! did we riot mention the generous sup- j port the cotton mills of our district -are giving the schools. Both at Oakland an? at Mollohon we have newhandsome buildings, erected and Equipped by these mills, and at the Newberry cotton mills they are plan-! ning to remodeT and enlarge the pres-' ent building:. You will see from ex "aminktioji of our financial report that these mills are doing more than furnish and equip these school buildings, but are supporting in a financial way; our school system. Mr. Shealv, the' mill school inspector, says no mill presidents in the state are doing more for the schools than our are doing. f We have had very few vacancies to fill among our teachers. We believe we fjave a corps of teacheTG second to none in the state, and we think it fortunate for our schools that we were able to retain for next session ?0 many sf the present teachers. On 'April 25 -the Great Teacher called 'from her earthly activities Miss Beriii'6s Martin, one of our most faithful, teachers." She was a tearner ;:i West /End school, for almost nineteen years.1 v"$he was interested in her school work but she iras active in the upbuilding of the school community. Her deeds of mercy'and love were many. We are ^submitting hereto attached a financial statement of our actions during the-session. This reoort is not complete as to receipts because thecounty treasurer was not able to compete his books due- to the postpone-; ment of payment of taxes. We are also filing with the state superintendent of education and with the county superintendent of education the an-; nual report of the schools, as requir- j ed by the laws of the state and this report is also made a part of our report to you.
