V'K At a meeting of the Kershaw boun ty Teachers* Association on Decem ber 10, it wasdecidedthat a publicity committee be appointed to gather some general information and to pre sent this information to the people of Kershaw county. This association feels that the public should and will be interested in these statistics. The report of the committee,, signed by Jr. C. Poster, chairman, Ethel M. Mur chison, secretary, J. G, Richards, Jr., M. G. Pat ton, Ernestine Bateman and Louise W Cantey, is as follows: The annual average white teacher's salary per month for 1929-1980, the latest available information, for Richland county, the county paying the highest average salary, $111.47 per month; for Kershaw county $88. 66 per month; the annual white teach er's salary per month for twelve months for the year 1930-1931, for South Carolina, $86.66 per' month; for Kershaw county $86.68. (Per pupil expenditures for whites, less school bondrf, based on average attendance for 1930-1931, for the state $66.63; for Kershaw county, $48.60. The average teaching load for whites for 1930-1931 baaed on average daily attendance: For state 23; for Kershaw county 25. The average teaching load for whites for the year 1930-1931 based on enrollment: For the state 29; for Kershaw county 32. These figures are proof conclusive that, although the average salary for the county is slightly higher than for the state, the per pupil cost for the county is de cidely less than the per pupil cost for the state. The teaching load for Kershaw county is heavier than the teaching load for the rotate. The annual average per pupil cost of transportation for 1930-1931: For the state $20.95; for Kershaw county $16.18. Per pupil cost per day in district operated buseB in Kershaw County $.066. Per pupil cost per day in con tract operated buses in South Caro lina $.121. These figures definitely prove that money can be sved by school districts owning and operating their own buses. The average cost of college educa tion $1,800; the average cost of one summer school $100. The number of teachers in Kershaw county holding college degrees 101, The number of teachers in Kershaw county not holding college degrees 60.8. Many teachers not holding college degrees have the equivalent in summer school credits. Ail teaohers not holding college degrees are re^ quired to go to summer school every 3 years to retain their certificates. The publicity committee also calls the attention of the public to the fol lowing facts: The average length of the school day is not, five hut six actual teaching hours. For many teachers it is more. Moreover, the teacher's work is not then finished. Two hours is the av erage spent outside the school room on checking, preparation and study. I The teacher must be progressive I and professional minded. In order to ' do this a considrable sum of money ! must be spent every year in linking up with county, Btate, and national ' organizations, as well as on educat ional books and magazines. Besides the teacher's salary must pay the ex pense of attending county, district and state meetings. The patrons of the school have a right to require and do require that the teacher's standard of living be sufficiently high to uphold the dig nity of the profession. Among other things this means that the teacher must dress appropriately for meeting the public every day. The teacher mttst be public-spirited and must join and become identified with the civic and religious organiza tions of the community# Many extra worthy calls in time and money are made, and the average teacher ans , wers the majority of these calls. Teachers spend their money and thus keep the sum covering their sal aries in circulation , 1 Teachers are not Dyer-paid. Teach ers of means are rarfcly found, and those who have wealth did not se cure it through the teaching profess' ion. *' Although it is true that they ac tually teach only five days a week and nine months of the jmr, teach or. mu?t llv? ??ven V*T find t*tf* piondhi of tilr ?n not U*. from Home Demonstration Agent I - Gives Advise on Poultry Raising '?<} k ' I A study of 1930 census reveals the need for greater poultry production in every county in the State. There was * decrease in the number of chicks hat ched and sold to our people during the spring of 1931. This shows that at present the average flocks are much smaller than they should be in order tp meet the economic nutritional needs of our people. At the beginning of the new /eat when we are planning the household and farm activities lets plan to ilo some early poultry work while there is not so many other activities press ing. Then, too, we can realize tome ready cash from early broilers at the I time of year when other cash products tare scarce. ! Broilers can be developed at a min imum cost if one builds an inexpensive brooder house with clay floor. Use a brick brooder with wood fuel and feed the chicks on a home mixed all-mash 'ration. Plans for making this brooder may be secured from the office of the county home and farm agents. i Miss Juanita Meely, poultry specia list* from Winthrop College,, recom mends the following ration. All-maflh with dried milk. 100 lb. yellow corn meal 25 lb. wheat bran 25 lb. wheat middlings or 50 lb tihorts i 25 lb. meat scraps 6 3-4 lb. dried butter milk 1 3-4 lb. salt. All-mash with liquid milk. 100 lb. yellow corn 25 lb. wheat bran 25 lb. wheat middlings or 50 ib. shorts 12 1-2 lb. meat scraps 1 3-4 lb. salt i iSkim milk (sweet or sour) available at all times. Get chicks in direct sunshine when two or three weeks old or add 1 quart of tested cod-liver oil to each 100 lb. feed. The above ration gives splendid results and no change is jnade until chicks are ten weeks old and ready for market. This all-mash system of I feeding greatly simplifies the routine and reduces labor. There 'is no daily schedule of feeding at time intervals, 1 nor is it necessary to limit the amount of food as the chicks will not over eat. The disadvantage o? this Bystem is 1 that it eliminates the necessity of fre quent visits to the brooder 'house which affords opportunity to keep watch of chickB. All chicks require close attention. The main thing to consider is to provide liberal hopper [feeding space, at least two inches per chick and more as they grow in size. { Early broilers should be purchased eafly ? about the middle of January. These can be sold in 10 or 12 weeks and then more thicks raised from Which to save the majority of your fall pullets. I Respectfully, 1 SAME B. CRAIG, , Co. Home Dem. Agt.
